    2.  
    3. Hey folks -- the wait is over, Vault of the Void: Nightmare is finally here! Thank you all for your patience as we put this together, I hope the wait is worth it! Before I dive into the details, I wanted to give a quick thank you for all the support for the mobile release, and also all the people who helped out making this release smooth by playing on the Beta Branch. This was instrumental in helping us squash as many little bugs as possible before going live. However, as usual, we’re on standby here for the next 48 hours to hotfix any issues we find! So please, if anything shows up, let us know in the Forums or on Discord! Thank you so much!

    21. Dawncaster Crossover!
    22. Alongside Nightmare comes our portion of the epic crossover between Dawncaster and Vault of the Void! Players from Dawncaster will have noticed the epic Vault of the Void card pack available in game. Players of Vault now have the chance of facing the mighty Corellion Solspear and his devout followers, an epic Elite fight found on Floor 2.

    24. If you haven’t heard about Dawncaster, its a deck building RPG with no microtransactions and frequent updates, available on both Android and iOS. You can join their Discord to learn more! The team over at Wanderlost Interactive have been amazing friends through both our development journeys, and were a massive help getting Vault of the Void, answering my many platform specific questions! We love being able to do this with them, and look forward to more epic content together in the future.

    27. Whats Next?
    28. Our major focus was getting a nice big content update out to celebrate the mobile release, and say thank you to all players for support so far. From here, our next major milestone will be Switch release, hoping by the end of the year. As we continue progressing this, work will be going in alongside on the 5th class. I’ll be sharing dev diaries and development progress as we go on that!

    85. QoL & Bug Fixes
    86. Map
    87. Huge refactor the underlying code of map. Most things should look the same – report a bug if you find something is different in a bad way!
    88. This fix should have addressed the softlock that occured occasionally on the map!
    89. Route Planner: now you can go back on each step if you want to try another route, instead of having to reset the entire route if you click a wrong tile.
    90. Can no longer cheat Fog of War using the minimap!
    91.  
    92.  
    93. Deck Manager
    94. Refactor the underlying code of deck manager. Things don’t look the same but it should look better in every way – provide feedback if you feel otherwise!
    95. Drag and drop to add cards to the deck!
    96. Cards in the deck are now larger. Card names should no longer cover Void Stones and they’re properly centered.
    97. Adding a card to deck or removing a card from deck now gets better animations with no screen flashes.
    98. Improved performance when socketing and removing void stones.
    99. Improved tutorials in Deck Manager.
    100.  
    101.  
    102. Misc
    103. Mobile will default to having Auto Zoom enabled, increasing readability
    104. Fixed a problem that prevents Community Reward Interactive Battlefield from showing in the battlefield list.
    105. Fixed a problem that prevents purge effects from scrolling to the bottom.
    106. Switched Hidden Blade and Silent Shiv card arts in Developer Support Pack.
    107. Fixed a problem where selecting a random spec in Introduction could random into Trickster and crash the game.
    108. Fixed a crash when you get ALL the void stones in the void stone progress. No, before the patch you seriously really cannot get them all without cheating, but we’re fixing this anyway.
    109. Fixed a problem where the run timer stops ticking when you open a deck viewer.
    110. Changed the text in Introduction to indicate there is no Introduction difficulty for classes other than Hidden.
    111. The Spell Book button now shows an alert icon when you have a new spell available.
    112. Add “Hold to End Turn” in the options. If you would like to check the Discard pile but accidentally clicked on the End Turn, this might be a safeguard.
    113. Added “Compact Enemy Frames” in the options for mobile/tablet players.
    114. Fixed a problem where enemies could show incorrect Death prediction when Shii and Fortitude are involved.
    115. Added missing sound effects when playing Swift cards and when generating Hidden Blades.
