- V6.2 - 27 August 2026
Devoid V6.2 is here! This update adds the ability to go back in time, do a short one station run, scan gear and more! More gear in the space dungeon Dark MatterExotic MatterBullet InflatorBackup GeneratorFlamethrower - thx Nabil. Low key forgot I added this to the game. It is now in drop tables. Time Twister - We still need to add it so it resets the shop. Will get to this. We didn't want to delay the update. Other than that it works great… I think. We expect this to be abused. You will now also automatically scan gear as you pass over it: Sprint game modeIt's been in the game since the last update. Forgot to mention it. This is a new game mode where the full run is just one station to the next. A good way to practice a difficult boss, hunt cosmetics, and pursue leaderboards (which we plan on adding globally in the future)Better layout for 2 player split screen We re-arranged how the HU…
- V6.1 - The Cosmetic Update - 11 August 2026
V6.1 is here!BIG news for the divas of the space dungeon. We released the cosmetic update today! And that's not all… We built you a space stationRemember when we said we were building a space station in my garage? Well a few of you wanted to go but couldn't. So we cut the main menu and turned it into a living breathing space station hub!Check it out: A long term vision would be to add more on-foot gameplay. A potential long run stretch goal. “R” to Restart Big thank you to LemonBoi for suggesting a quick restart. If you press and hold R during a run it will restart it for you. Boss ShieldThe Pirate Captain was supposed to be a dangerous force in the space dungeon... but crumbled quickly when facing a better opponent. Didn't expect a runaway build to be that big of an issue. But clearly, the pirates have no grit. So we gifted the Captain a sweet shield system to protect against hotshots…
- V6 is here! And we're building a space station in my garage! - 21 July 2026
You heard that right. In parallel with making the game, we've been working on a space station in my garage. Shoutout to This orThat for the help putting it together. This is real btw:We also got our crew thanks to a few brave volunteers from the community. And thank you to those who were not local but threw their hat in the mix. You have our respect. We will be preparing for takeoff shortly. Now because time acts strange in space you might not get our outer space transmission for a bit. But trust me, it will be worth the wait. Alright back to the game. Introducing the Sightless Snowfields:This new level adds new enemies including our 2nd major boss. Again we wont share everything cuz that's no fun. But we wanted to highlight the Ice Harvester. This enemy was influenced by legendary pilot Signal. He pointed out Devoid’s lack of enemies that indirectly attack. So we added one. The harvest…
- Devoid V5.2 - Pilot Onboarding - 12 June 2026
DEVOID V5.2 IS HERE!We realized the onboarding flow for the space dungeon was leaving some pilots confused. So, we overhauled the tutorial. Not a single line of dialogue in it. (Besides at the dock if we’re counting that).On a similar note, we revamped the tutor. It's less invasive. And the notifs should now pop up at the right moments. We will continue to refine this.Fixed a few miscellaneous bugs, including map barriers not having physics (notably near the outpost on level 3) Re-centered the HUD so weapons / items are back in one place. Thanks for the feedback on that Nabil.Denarii (Devoid’s currency) was switched to just “$”. Way more intuitive.Rarity was cut. Less bloat to scan through item descriptions.Our other time was spent working on new content for the next part of the dungeon. Not sure when we will begin unveiling details. I will say I'm pretty hyped on how the visuals are tu…
- Monsters & Gear - V5.1 is here! - 3 June 2026
We just pushed live a new update! It adds new items and enemies, and introduces a number of quality of life enhancements for both the casual and hardcore crowd. 4 NEW ENEMIES IN THE SPACE DUNGEON Pirate CorsairPirate MarauderIce BatDry Ice BatITEMS & INSPECT ACTIONA ton of new items. I mean… There were so many added we can’t even keep track. The good news is you can now inspect gear. So if you forgot what something does, inspect it to learn more about it. This feature was suggested by a few members in the game's discord community. LESS INVASIVE ARCHIVIST The tutor system was tweaked and re-worked to help new players more, and forget the pilots who know the drill. Forget hotbar controls? Press “T” (the tutor action) to open up a list of action reminders. COCKPIT OVERHAULWith the rising importance of temperature throughout gameplay, it made sense to incorporate a thermometer into your shu…
- Can You Beat Me At My Own Game? - 20 May 2026
$20 Steam giftcard to the first 3 who can outscore me at my own game… That was the challenge we set up last weekend. And gamers showed up. Ready to dethrone the gamedev.If you’re a video person, you can watch matches go down here:Into the Space DungeonThe game, Devoid, is a pixel art twin-stick shooter where energy drains with every move. Pilots must fight swarms of enemies to regain that lost energy in a procedurally generated space dungeon. The goal? Survive station to station and make the escape.A Run For My MoneyI played against a number of people, but later in the day a group of friends walked in. They are familiar with the game, so I knew things were about to get wild.They first wanted to play splitscreen. In Devoid scores are derived from damage dealt, and completion time, which is surprisingly balanced regardless of the amount of players you have in a run.Then one of them went s…
- Beyond The Broodmother - V5 is Here! - 10 May 2026
Make it past the Broodmother’s lair and you’ll quickly find yourself surrounded by enormous icebergs, space snow, and frigid temps. Before you embark into this weird sector of space, let's walk through what's new so you know what you're up against. SPACE SNOWIn the third level, there will be a chance for a snow storm to occur. And it will have a big impact on gameplay. Items like the solar panel will fail. Heat seeking missiles will track harder changing combat dynamics. Your max energy capacity will drop. And if you stay in the snow for too long, you could experience permanent battery damage. That's why we added the storage capacitor. It's a way to offset this if you take a lot of capacity damage.REVAMPED TUTORIAL & TUTOR SYSTEM As the game’s systems continue to run deeper, it only made sense to level up how we onboard new pilots. The dock droid aka the Archivist will now ping pilots w…
- V4.3 - 13 March 2026
What does price discrimination, more items and catching enemies off guard have in common? They’re all new features in Devoid V4.3. So dock your shuttle and join us as we get into the details.THE MERCHANT When flying out in the space dungeon there is a chance you encounter a merchant ship. After docking, you'll find yourself in a shop where you can spend denarii on a selection of items from a shady individual. This was added to help balance out the luck factor of item drops in Devoid. Also, the merchant has a way to price discriminate against you to maximize profits. We’ll leave figuring out how up to you. AWARENESS SYSTEM Pilots and enemies can now be caught off guard from flanking attacks. A surprise attack deals double damage and can devastate the target on the receiving end. Below are a list of features that make up the new system: Entities that can see now have a cone of sight. If a…
- V4.2 - 25 February 2026
Hey Pilot, We released a new update today. It introduces a new temperature system, 9 more items, and adds polish to existing visuals. Let’s walk through the new additions: TEMPERATURE Everything in Devoid capable of interaction now has a temperature stat. While the addition may seem simple, this system runs very deep. A ton of things in the game can influence or be influenced by temperature. Weapons overheating, snow storms, and item usage to name a few. And that's just the surface level stuff. It goes deeper. Bullets inherit your ship's temp. Flares fail against hot targets, heat-seekers punish overheating and get even deadlier in cold zones. I could go on and on. Temperature leads to some fantastic gameplay scenarios. We look forward to expanding on it for V5. 9 NEW ITEMS FOR THE SPACE DUNGEONOVERCLOCKED CPUGrants an aggressive increase in fire rate, but consumes significantly more en…
- V4.1 - 5 February 2026
We just dropped a small update. But don’t let its size fool you, this packs a punch. V4.1 adds new gameplay mechanics, quality of life features, and improves performance. Let’s walk through the new additions: The ShotgunDevoid needed a weapon that could handle close quarters combat well. So we added this feisty gun: Jankless InventoryThe inventory has had a mechanical overhaul. Instead of requiring you to be focused on the center slot to fire your weapon, we removed it, and installed a traditional equip input system used by many games. This change also adds another slot. Increasing your capacity from 6 to 7. Nice. This change was heavily influenced by the community, so if you want to tag along with development, dock your shuttle here at the official devoid discord. Pirate Wager is BackIn Devoid V4 the pirate wager was not present (mainly due to a massive code refactor which left it brok…
- DEVOID V4 - OUT NOW - 24 January 2026
V4 IS OUTAfter refactoring half the code base, we present to you V4. It’s a beast of an update. Making V3 look trivial. Let's walk through the major additions.CO-OP4 pilots can now leave the dock together and make their way through the space dungeon. Getting to the next space station will require teamwork. Every additional player means less energy to go around. LV 2The gameplay loop has extended to 2 levels. Region 1 is complete. NO RUNNING FROM THIS FIGHTIf you make it to the end of level 2, firstly bravo, but there will be an unskippable boss fight in between you and the exit dock. Our advice? Uh. Win. Otherwise you're going all the way back to spacestation #1. MAC MAINS REJOICEDevoid now supports MacOSFEEDBACKWe’d love to hear what you think about the new update. Have thoughts, ideas, or feedback? Let us know on discord, or in the comments below. That’s all for now. Luminous Bits out…
- OUR BIGGEST UPDATE IS ON THE HORIZON - 26 November 2025
I'm gonna say it outright. V4 will be our best update yet. I mean. This feature list is insane:Couch co-opLevel 2 AddedFirst Unskippable Boss Battle (The Saprobe Broodmother)New Goblin Spacestation Enemy Gravity GunScorecard Stats Overhaul (for nerds like me this is hype)Now with all of this heat, Jakub and I need time to cookOur goal is to have V4 drop around New Years. Can’t promise that exact timeline. But it's our internal team target. Digitdill got you though. Just finished landscaping work for the season as winter is coming so I now have ample time to #devoidit.Our bold bet on the marketWe are sidelining online multiplayer and sticking with solely couch co-op. What? Why? That's like the exact opposite direction the market is heading. Online multiplayer “friend slop" is at an all time high. True. But today we are more isolated than ever. Online multiplayer is a facade. It's not the…
- THE DEVOID PLAYTEST HAS OPENED - 19 November 2025
Last night we dropped V3 on Steam.It's an early build of the game. Making you one of the first pilots to embark. The core gameplay and vibe will stay consistent as we continue development, though some features may evolve over time.Message to Mac mainsIf you’re on MacOS… you’ll have to wait a little longer. Basically it was the only thing holding us back from releasing on Steam, so we side-stepped it for now and will be working to add it as soon as possible. That said we have a Mac download up on the Devoid itch page. Lets us know whats upWe love hearing feedback. Feel free to share your thoughts here on Steam or in the official Devoid discord. Having Devoid in your library this early is a cool niche flex. The playtest is free and an easy pickup for the collection. Good luck out there,-Luminous Bits
- FULL STEAM AHEAD - 28 October 2025
Devoid is in the review process!We are beyond excited, because in a few weeks time you will be able to download Devoid V3, and give it a go on the world's best PC gaming platform (dont @ me Epic Games). In short, this move makes downloading and interacting with us significantly easier.We really put the carriage in front of the horse. Isn't this a little early?Yes. And deliberately so. We wanted to put ourselves out there now, because it allows us to collect wishlists over time. Wishlists ultimately will determine our fate. So if you like the game and want to see it do well, make sure to smash that wishlist button. Get your friends to wishlist, maybe even Grandma if she’s up to it. I know my Grandma will.Should I play V3 when it comes to Steam or wait to avoid spoilers?Because Devoid focuses on skill, strategy, and replayability rather than a fixed story, playing early won’t spoil the ga…
