Void Crew

 
Void Crew on Consoles!? Hutlihut - Space Log #17: ...May 3, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsOkay, today we'll cover two things - some exciting news, and some post mortem thoughts on the making of the Void Harbinger bomb! First the exciting sneak peek news: Big news, Ectypes — we’re expanding! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/bb80c05a5dc1c341bf220600b001944be140ce42.png Void Crew is officially coming to consoles - XBOX S / X and PlayStation 5 - and we’re bringing full cross-platform support with us. That’s right: soon you’ll be able to team up with your friends no matter where they play - and fail gloriously together! Get ready to explore, fight, and survive together across PC and consoles later this year! --- Now that you know you'll be able to have explosive fun with your console buddies, I thought I'd share a few things on a feature we were unsure how people would react to. Yes. The high-chance-of-self-destruction Void Harbinger 'Nuke'. Yes, that thing. In addition to the below "making of", here's a video of the devs talking about the nuke (and other explosive stuff!) Making of the Void Harbinger "Nuke" {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/2827ad3bcef72487906e014f2a4ff9b950555b2b.png With the development of the Payload Launcher, we needed stuff to fire: Payload items. Naturally the default selection was Medium Missiles and Heavy Torpedos, but we wanted to have some more specialized ones as well. This gave birth to the Cluster Missile to deal with swarms, and we knew we needed something in the other end of the spectrum - a "clear-the-level" kinda deal. So let's just go wild!? What is the biggest warhead we can think of? A big boom https://i.imgur.com/dew3Ctr.gif Well, a nuke isn't something new to video games, and there are some really well executed variants out there. But having a nuke in space does have the odd side effect of not being affected by things like gravity and heat rising upwards. So that made the iconic mushroom cloud hard to pull off (we did try a simple version... and as expected, didn't work). Without relying on the shape itself, we had to break it further down. What makes a "big boom"? First off, of course, we'd need a big ball of glowy death that kills more or less anything inside. Check. Done. Let's test gameplay. Okay, the odds of self-destruction using one of these babies is pretty high. Yes, we decided to keep the ability for it to damage the player ship (friendly fire is disabled normally). If you were going to fire off a Nuke, any sane person would know to GET TO A SAFE DISTANCE! That and we found it funny that the target you set would probably be chasing you while your Nuke was in transit... We've seen a few streamers panicking when they realize this! Oh, the joy *tear *. So we nailed a giant spherical death bubble. But it didn't feel like a nuke. Yes we made it yellow to begin with, and people got the association, but it was just over too fast, it didn't have that satisfying punch to it. Adding layers {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/1957ca93f1a18fec86f897be693221f19137334b.png So studying further the anatomy of big bombs, it b...Patch 1.1.2 - Out Now (Monday 28.

Sincerely, // The Hutlihut Games Crew {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/f3fca3cda71652b7aee363dcb0e64e197b18d814.pngUpdate "All Hands on Deck" - AVAILABLE NOW!Apr 18, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsVoid Crew Update 1.1: "All Hands on Deck" IS HERE! Greetings, brave Ectypes! The cosmos just got a whole lot more chaotic with this new Update. We've been hard at work refining gameplay and, of course, adding more ways for you and your crew to hilariously fail in the vacuum of space. High Level Gameplay video Let's get an overview of the big features in this update: --- 1.1: "All Hands on Deck" Changelist --- Survivor Game Mode One location. Endless action. https://i.imgur.com/zHA4yzz.gif Our new high-octane challenge is here! Survive long enough to scavenge wrecks dropped from Void rifts and hoard loot by killing enemies—but be careful, time is short and supplies are limited! Co-op intensity at its finest! With thematic enemy waves, this isn't for the faint of heart, so make sure you are at least Rank 4 to stand even the slightest chance! This intense experience is designed for short but chaotic 30–60 minute runs. We are eager to see how many waves the community can survive... (and have a blast doing it!). Don't forget your Scavenger; it's essential in this mode! The dev team's record (at the time of writing) is completing wave 8, dying savagely in the following minute ...? Did we mention it is set in the remote but beautiful Solar System "Defiance"? And that it has custom timing for solo and smaller Crews? Payloads and The Payload Launcher Unleash Mayhem with Cluster Missiles, Torpedoes, and More! https://i.imgur.com/ThyfAUU.gif Who doesn't like unleashing devastating payloads of utter destruction? With 6 payloads, there is a lot to master... just remember to stay CLEAR of the blast radius if you dare deploy the Void Harbinger... Payloads can be deployed by EVA'ing players, fired directly from the Payload Launcher itself, or remotely, by the Pilot from the ship's Helm! The following payloads are now available: Cluster Missile: Launches a whole swarm of rapid, homing bearers of destruction. Perfect for clusters of fast-moving baddies. Medium Missile: A single, high-damage warhead that excels at sniping sub-components on bigger foes or punching holes through medium ships. Heavy Torpedo: A slower, lumbering beast that hits really hard. Aim it at large, clunky enemy craft, then watch the fireworks. Lure: Completely reworked, this decoy now transforms into its own mini craft when launched—cruising along and luring your enemies on a merry chase. Proximity Mines: Now hand-deployable! Set them loose, and they’ll lie in wait for unwelcome guests who come near. Void Harbinger: METEM’s special brand of “behavior correction." Just stay clear of the blast site. Now Lock and Load! Save Game (!) Shorter sessions – Void Crew runs before bedtime! https://i.imgur.com/AdzQ3Ks.gif This was a highly requested feature from the community ... and we are not going to hide we are enjoying it as well! Yes yes yes - You now have the ability to save your run while in the Void and continue another day! Or after dinner if you so fancy. So how does it work? Well, as host you ..."All Hands on Deck" - RELEASE DATE and NEW GAME MODE reveal!Apr 12, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsOh boy, do we have a HUGE update for you! Today, we're not only announcing the release date, but also revealing a NEW GAME MODE! So, without further ado, the release date is… tadaaaaam: April 18th 2025! (In other words: less than a week!) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/2df6c4e0a12b0e184167c3053f1a226c5ddca91f.png While you wait, let’s take a look at the new game mode: GAME MODE: SURVIVOR! Looking for a high-octane challenge that fits neatly into your lunch break? We’re happy to introduce our new Survivor Mode – our most intense experience yet, designed for short but chaotic 30–60 minute runs that demand tight teamwork and laser focus. One location. Endless action. https://i.imgur.com/6ThXWkJ.gif In Survivor Mode, your crew stays grounded in a single hot zone – but don’t expect to sit and watch The Void in awe. Waves of increasingly intense enemies will push you and your crew mates to your limits. With the Fabricator starting from scratch, only a Rookie loadout, or a Lone Sentry loadout will be available to you. You’ll need to build up fast… or fall fast. Wave-based chaos with a twist https://i.imgur.com/zHA4yzz.gif Each wave comes with its own theme: Fighters, Bombers, Snipers, Cruisers, and more. Morphs like Frost Morphs will challenge your tactics – better hope your Gunners are awake when your ship’s engines freeze solid. Rift Wrecks = high risk, high reward https://i.imgur.com/Vs6e5hs.gif Keep an eye out for Rift Wrecks! Temporal rift-like wormholes will spawn wrecked ships that are only around for a short while. These are LOOT HEAVEN if you move fast. They’re also tuned for solo players, making this mode perfect for brave captains who dare to fly alone. 6 players mode available {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/7152435fa5c6bd4b558a7ed46a81fe9f1f095ab6.png Whether you squad up or go solo, Survivor Mode adjusts to fit. Why not embrace the 6 player chaos in our most chaotic mode yet? Note that now the Scavenger role becomes critical for looting those rift wrecks ... so why not have two Scavengers at the same time? It’s also the perfect opportunity to finally snag that Around the Void achievement – yes, all 3 Morph variants are in the mix in Survivor Mode. Although it’s still hard to obtain, it’s more achievable than before. Noteworthy systems & flexibility Change your class loadout mid-run (yes, really) Dynamic difficulty scaling as you progress - The further you get, the harder it gets New fancy death sequence - die with style! Updated new Galaxy Map visuals – now showing all available activities in clearer detail Edit: And yes, SAVE GAME mid-pilgrimage is part of this update! Just to be clear - everything in SpaceLog #15 and SpaceLog #16 are included in the "All Hands on Deck"-update! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/f61381aaded974d0c8225588f127d6cda088e7f5.png Don't hesitate to share with us your experience on our Discord! Until the next transmission… //Hutlihut Games Crew {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/f61381aaded974d0c8225588f127d6cda088e7f5.png See you in ...Hutlihut SpaceLog #16: Brace for Impact - Game changing update aheadMar 6, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWelcome back! Our entire Hutlihut team have been working hard to bring even more good stuff into the hands of you, the players! (Yep, that's you). Alert! Void Crew is on Sale! 🚀 Get it now for just $19.99 (was $24.99 – 20% OFF!) 🎉 …don’t miss this deal - get it for your friends! If you haven't already, check out our SpaceLog #15 where we dive deep into the incoming New Payload Launcher and Payloads, Difficulty tuning for Crews AND Solo, Optional Mutators, and New Emote wheel with equippable Emotes! And why stop there? You have asked for a lot of improvements – let us deliver them to you. Here is what is next on the Astral Map… https://i.imgur.com/bInBhIn.png Save game Shorter sessions – Void Crew runs before bedtime! The Void is a dangerous place, and sometimes even the best crews need a break (or a tactical retreat to grab snacks). Now, while in the safety of the Void Tunnel, you (the Host) will be able to save your game including ship and session progress. The saved game can then be resumed from the METEM Hub, so you and your crew can continue the adventure when duty calls! Just keep in mind that saving mid-objective is still strictly against space-time laws – so if things are exploding, you’d better deal with that first! https://i.imgur.com/AdzQ3Ks.gif Official 6-Player Support More Chaos, More Fun! In the coming Update METEM is enabling even bigger Crews to join the intergalactic crusade.(More chaos, more fun - right?). Allowing you to jump across the Void with a Crew of up to 6 Ectypes! On the dev team, we’ve had a blast running six-player sessions, so there’s no turning back now! …don’t worry, you can of course also play Solo or in smaller crews. https://i.imgur.com/eynF8Zs.png Change Loadouts aboard the Ship No more wasted Perk Points! Another highly requested feature was the ability to swap perks during a run. So, say, if you drop into a session only to find that two of you spec’ed as pilots, you’ll be able to respec right then and there! Ah, convenience. To make room for the loadout terminal aboard the Frigate, we had to move the Bioport a little… That’s right! No more bonked heads running into the Bioport. METEM’s highly trained Ectype engineers devised a plan... “How about we move it”? Pure Genius! https://i.imgur.com/vnUmJXH.png 3rd Person "Periscope" Get a whole new perspective on The Void! Sometimes, it's hard to appreciate everything happening around you when you're deep in the Engine Room, putting out fires and enhancing the Void Drive.. Now, you'll find certified METEM Periscopes throughout the ships, allowing you to have the same bird’s-eye view as the pilot! You can ping targets from this view, and generally just get a feel for how bad your Pilot is at dodging. https://i.imgur.com/nM92ktY.gif Hull Breaches Fix it or regret it! Hull breaches were… well, too complicated. So, we decided to take a step back and simplify them. Like, a lot. In the update you NEED to fix the damaged hull. It can’t be ignored for too long or else… Well...Hutlihut SpaceLog #15: New EXPLOSIVE Update! Exclusive insightsJan 20, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreeting Ectypes - newcomers and re-incarnations alike! Laurids (Lead Designer) here, piping in from the flame-spouting bowels of the engine room. Since release, we’ve been focused on cooking up what comes beyond Update 1.0 - Our brand new EXPLOSIVE Update! - can't wait to get into your hands, to hopefully provide something that’s shaping up to be a worthy game-changer for all the followers of METEM out there. Payloads & The Payload Launcher Unleash Mayhem with Cluster Missiles, Torpedoes, and More! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/7b57b9de5b5ef27d852f8c62c4b640d43c9bc4fe.png As teased in the previous Space Log, the biggest news is the introduction of the Payload Launcher. Essentially, it’s a dedicated module for firing specialized carryables (aka “Payloads”) into space. It even has a handy Direction Selector so you can launch upwards, downwards… or sideways or forwards, depending on where you installed it. And if your team's scavenger has that Long Throw perk? Guess what—you can always just hurl these new Payloads with your bare hands if the launcher’s busy or your Engineer forgot to install it. Once you’ve primed a Payload (LMB), it’s armed and good to go. Throw it (RMB) and watch it transform from “something I’m holding” to “something that’s about to create mayhem.” Once deployed, a Payload stops being a carryable, which prevents the Gravity Scoop from vacuuming it back up—once it’s deployed, it’s out there, hopefully terrorizing your enemies instead of your own crew (I'm looking at you, Decoy Lure). https://i.imgur.com/EDcpKGx.gif Deploying a Cluster Missile Payload by hand. EVA is now short for Extra-Vehicular-Awesomness! New Payloads Cluster Missile: Launches a whole swarm of fast, homing little bearers of destruction. Perfect for swarms of fast-moving baddies. Seeker Missile (naming TBD): A single, high-damage warhead that excels at sniping sub-components on bigger foes or punching holes through medium ships. Torpedo: A slower, lumbering beast that hits really hard. Aim at large, clunky enemy craft, then watch the fireworks. : METEM’s special brand of “behavior correction.” We can’t share details yet, but let’s just say it’s not a warm hug. Reworks & Overhauls Lure: This decoy now transforms into its own mini craft when launched—cruising along and luring your enemies on a merry chase. Proximity Mines: We’ve made these hand-deployable. Set them loose, and they’ll be waiting for whenever unwelcome guests come near. Difficulty Tuning Smoother Starts, Sharper Challenges, and Balanced Runs for Everyone! Ever since 1.0 dropped, we’ve gotten a bunch of feedback about how runs can feel punishingly front-loaded or (for some) too drawn out. We’re smoothing the early portion a bit—and adding stiffer scaling after the first boss for those who managed to stay on top of the power curve. Ideally, no one feels obligated to marathon 3-hour sessions just to be “optimal.” Smash that first boss, then push into the endless portion if your team feels like it. We're ...Void Crew 1.0 Review by ARKADEN - Plus 1.0 gameplay videoJan 12, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello all Ectypes, Welcome to everyone into a new year 2025. What better way to start than share a new video showing Void Crew 1.0 Gameplay loop. ...we hope you like it - If so, pleeeease share with your friends :-) Review (5/6): Void Crew 1.0 - A Cool, Chaotic, and Challenging Space Adventure We love feedback... both from both players in our community and media playing Void Crew. That gives us insights into which areas works and others to improve - making Void Crew the best experience it can be. One of the biggest Danish gaming medias, ARKADEN just released a full review of Void Crew 1.0. As it is written in Danish, we have translated it below, for you all to read. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/edb60fcef990197cc7d26163dd2a8010ed0a598a.png Void Crew 1.0 review (ARKADEN - original text in Danish) >> Void Crew 1.0 Review – A Cool, Chaotic, and Challenging Space Adventure. Review in ARKADEN - Written by Michael Emcken, January 10, 2025. Void Crew has exited its 14-month-long Early Access, and it is incredibly addictive—especially when you have friends to man the ship with you. Void Crew offers an intense and cooperative experience where teamwork and communication are key to success. You and your friends will be thrust into chaotic missions where you must balance piloting the ship, fighting enemies, and scavenging "space junk" from the hostile ships you’ve taken down. Developed by Danish studio Hutlihut Games and published by Focus Entertainment, this rogue-like extraction game lets you navigate your spaceship through missions, extract loot, and upgrade your skills to progress as far as possible. The game begins with a brief introduction to the core mechanics. The pace is slow, and you won’t face significant challenges initially. But once the real game begins, the tempo and difficulty ramp up quickly. You’ll venture into space aboard a sophisticated spacecraft on exciting missions that you and your crew are hilariously unprepared for! Your main adversary is "The Hallow," the game’s only enemy faction. There’s a stark contrast between the tutorial and the main gameplay, but the difficulty is fair—you always understand why a mission failed. It’s just a matter of hopping back into the action, spending your newly-earned gene tree points, and venturing into space again. Roles and Gene Trees In Void Crew, each player can assume a different role on the ship, each with unique abilities and responsibilities. The available roles are: Pilot: Responsible for navigating the spaceship through missions, avoiding obstacles and enemy fire. Engineer: Focuses on maintaining and repairing the ship's systems, weapons, or hull. Gunner: Operates the ship's weapons to fend off enemies, ensuring you’re not overwhelmed by the numerous foes in certain missions. Scavenger: Heads out into space during the chaos to retrieve space junk that can be used to upgrade weapons or reinforce the hull. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/b5d48f2a08ed637d7e0676b8898789f26fb76c40.png Currently, the sc...Hutlihut - Space Log #14: Happy New Year! + Win DLC Pack!Dec 31, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello all Ectypes, Time flies faster than those pesky Frostmorphs!

Greetings, Ectypes! Long ago… all the way back in 2023, we had the amazing experience of revealing Void Crew to the general public at PAX East Boston in Focus Entertainment’s booth. In between play-sessions of purposefully blowing up attendees who were trying out Void Crew, we took every opportunity to walk the floor of the conference, checking out the other games there—especially the sci-fi ones. In that category, the absolute best-looking game of its kind was kind of visible from where we were located - EVERSPACE 2. They’d gone through a very successful Early Access and were now gearing up for a full 1.0 release. We were very inspired by not only their game but also their development process. And we were also kind of envious of the level of polish and sheer bad-assiness the game was radiating. Truth be told, we were kind of happy they were making a single-player action adventure, so we wouldn’t be competing for eyeballs with our Void Crew chaotic co-op friendship-destroyer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/2237fe785d29e36d620b38fefbc1da6f9ab73ea4.png With that little anecdote in mind, it should come as no surprise that we are super-excited to present you with the following holiday offering: EVERSPACE 2 + Void Crew - Combat & Crew Bundle!

And with it, we've loved to hear and see the reactions from new and old players alike, ranging from embarrassing airlock mishaps, to discovering a way to break our balancing with a grin, leaving our designers thirsty for stronger coffee. And, of course, despite spending lots of time in bug-fixing-mode, people still find the weirdest bugs ... But, it's all good! We had - even before releasing the 1.0 - planned to spend a bunch of time fixing whatever balancing/bugs was thrown back at us. In our case, this resulted in a hotfix (thanks for the community for helping us iron a few things out ) and a huge patch, released .... today! And if that wasn't enough, we recently unlocked our Holiday Event (with additional cosmetics, of course!) to make sure as many Ectypes as possible get into the holiday spirit ... by destroying stuff in space. Note: Today's patch tweaks the way the Holiday Objective spawns, so you're no longer at the mercy of the gods of randomness - you should see the Objective at least once per biome now. Next steps {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/1581d699a94cad19e7d8b17c46d4c7c8d4875cfc.gif Now our patch has dropped, and we've dived into the next content update! HUTLIHUT !

So last chance to grab those holiday special cosmetics! To celebrate the Festive Season, we're bringing back the Winter Holiday event that we added to the game during Early Access... a year ago... How time flies! For the duration of the event, Pilgrimages will offer an optional "Priority Presents" side objective - it pops up randomly, with a 20% chance whenever you jump into the Void, so look out for it on the Astral Map. Priority Presents In Priority Presents, Ectypes are tasked with blowing up a Barge Freighter that's been infringing on METEM's domain. Completing the Objective rewards a Festive Gift of METEM, which contains a collection of new (and returning) Winter Holiday cosmetics. The Festive Gift has maximum "duplicate protection," so it'll only reward things you don't already have, until you have everything it can offer! There's 31 Winter Holiday items to collect this year (which includes everything that was available during Early Access). https://i.imgur.com/x39UMwB.gif A Freighter!? For those of you who just had a minor heart-attack at the prospect of needing to kill a Freighter, there's some additional good news. We revisited both the "normal" Freighter encountered in Ambush and this Festive variant, and made some significant tweaks that should make them way more manageable... The Missile Turrets have been relocated to the top of the Freighter, and are now individually targetable. This means Pilots can target lock them easily, making them easy prey for Gunner and B.R.A.I.N.s. Once the Missile Turrets are gone, the Freighter is much more manageable, so you can deal with the Escorts before you blow it up - As written in the Codex of Strife: "Before you fight your opponent, take away his arms." https://i.imgur.com/aaZMLv2.gif Holiday Hub To emphasize the Festive Season, the METEM Command Hub has been dressed up for the occasion - complete with jingling bells, holographic snow, and a new look for the Ectype known as "Steve." Why a Seasonal Event? The Winter Holiday event was something we did during Early Access because we enjoy those types of things in other games, and wanted to try out and see how it would fit Void Crew. When bringing it back, it is an added bonus that it involves the Freighters, which did require some tuning difficulty wise - and it's a good opportunity to add some new variation for the Jetpack and Jetpack trail unlocks. In other words, it was a low-hanging fruit to re-enable it, and didn't stop us from spending time working on the actual pains and issues revealed by the 1.0 launch. We're hard at work on our first major bug-fixing patch ... which will be coming out in a couple of weeks, filled to the brim with community most-wanted bugfixes! Once this major bug-fix patch is released, we're going to turn our attention on the next Content Update. More info on that one will be coming later. https://i.imgur.com/mDZqA1l.gif We hope you'l...HOTFIX - Out Now (Monday 2. Dec)Nov 29, 2024 - Community Announcementshttps://i.imgur.com/DhaRGFr.gif EDIT (Monday 2. Dec): HOTFIX Out Now - Below fixes verified and addressed. Thanks for your feedback on this, and your patience while we were fixing. If you're having issues, don't hesitate to share them with us on our Discord! //Hutlihut Games Crew In 1871 Helmuth von Moltke wrote an essay about military strategy that included the famous phrase "No operational plan extends with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the main force of the enemy". That's true of planning your next Objective in Void Crew, and also turned out to be true of launching the game! So we made sure to have contingency plans! We've been actively monitoring all the different places that you players have been reporting issues you're encountering while playing the game, and prioritized and fixed the first batch of pressing issues. We are still testing to verify the following fixes, but expect to release the Hotfix in the evening of Monday December 2., CET. Hotfix Issues Addressed Balancing: All B.R.A.I.N. Auto-Turrets have had their baseline Accuracy Increased. Balancing: B.R.A.I.N. Benediction Auto-Turret MkI-III has it's Baseline and Max Damage increased. Balancing: Shuriken Gatling, Litany Minigun and Confessor Carronade have had their Baseline Accuracy Increased. Balancing: Shuriken Gatling, Litany Minigun and Confessor Carronade have had their Max-Spread Decreased. Bugfix: B.R.A.I.N. Auto-mechanic Defect and Engine Trim modes work reliably again (One issue fixed every 60s when not enhanced) Bugfix: HUB Personal Loadout Terminal sometimes being non-interactable Bugfix: UI overlap in Matchmaking Window Bugfix: Lag in Matchmaking Window due to large number of Private Rooms being present Bugfix: Superior Engineer ability not working for remote players Bugfix: Matchmaking Terminal - Hitting Sort button when Private and Open Rooms are displayed at the same time could lead to getting stuck in the Terminal {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43802314/b790802228c6ff21d81b23ec8ef70cc2799daca5.png The bugs that have been encountered are just good old-fashioned snafu's - For instance, we never tested what the matchmaking terminal would act like with several hundred Private Rooms because we tested with 5 instead, and that clearly wasn't good enough when the game suddenly took off. As for the Accuracy balancing, those of you who played in Early Access will probably have experienced it as a blatant nerf, but I'll try to add some additional context. In Update 5, Fire Rate had a detrimental effect on Accuracy, since the Recoil was based on every single projectile fired. This meant that adding Fire Rate to a gun could sometimes throw the accuracy completely out of whack. This was changed for 1.0, so Accuracy Decay is caused by "time spent firing" only - where the effect is calculated and applied when you shoot (Meaning the reticle only grows when you actually fire the gun, but it'll grow based on time spent shooting). In summary - you can stack Fire Rate modifiers on y...Steam Awards 2024Nov 27, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello Ectypes, Void Crew is in the running for the “Better with Friends” category at this year’s Steam Awards.

Did we mention Void Crew 1.0 is finally here? Well it is! You are not dreaming! After months (years) of work, polish, optimization, designs, feedback and more we finally have 1.0 hit the shelves ... so to speak! Though we have covered a lot of the topics of the new stuff of 1.0 in previous articles, this article covers it ALL ... I can't even tell you how long we spent writing the changelist (even if most of it is automated). Gameplay video - Walkthrough main Void Crew features Let's get started with gameplay video - Narrated and Devs playing co-op: --- 1.0 Changelist --- We've covered some of the cool stuff we've added in two previous articles, Part 1 and Part 2, but here's the FULL list. New content TWO NEW OBJECTIVES This update sees TWO new objectives added to the already large pool of objectives: INFESTATION and DESECRATION. Where one tests your team's coordination and speed, the latter leaves you exposed while you decide what upgrade to grab for your ship! ENHANCED FABRICATOR The Fabricator has received a major overhaul, introducing two new functionalities: Fabricator Upgrading (leading to faster operation, automation and access to more stuff!), and Blueprints created by recycling items. NEW ENEMIES The fiery Vigilance system sees a new HOLLOW Firemorph, spewing homing missiles which erupt into heat fields. The electromagnetic Bravery system gets the HOLLOW Electromorph, draining ship power from Ectype ships who get too close. NEW ITEMS Ship Loadouts now come with a Blessed Homunculus, which carries with it new abilities suited for each Loadout. This fortunately makes more room for Relics, some of which have been turned into Scaling Relics, boosting their effect based on some condition (F.x. weapon fire-rate boost based on amount of active defects on ship). And as icing on the cake, collectors and bosses can now drop the mysterious Nano Copy Matrix. PERKS The Perk Tree has been revamped, new perks introduced, and changes made to incorporate all the great feedback ... and yes, includes the completion of the Perk Selection Loadouts. In addition, we've added the Superior version of all the class abilities, along with a perk to improve it even further! NEW CHALLENGES Achievements which not only unlocks achievements on Steam, but also grants unique one-time cosmetic rewards in-game, allowing you to show off your achievements in style. Daily and weekly challenges offer Ectypes a recurring chance at some high rarity rewards. The galaxy map now features Loadout Challenges with promise of additional rewards. COSMETICS A new Kensei samurai-inspired Cosmetic set can now be found in various cosmetic loot crates. In addition we wanted to show our deepest appreciation to our community, so BETA testers are gaining a Unique BETA-tester projection, and Early Access players getting Crashguard Visor Helmet, Color-override Pattern Crashtype and two exclusive Projections.
