It’s finally here! The Void Invaders Ultra Update (version 1.7.0) is now live. Here’s a list of all the new features and changes: New features (in-game) Hardcore Mode

10 new levels
30 new enemies
2 new bosses
1 new powerup
New achievements

Wave Master
Completed
Hardcore player
New skin with rainbow (!!!) bullets Various other things we probably forgot to mention New features (other) Scrolling leaderboards View leaderboards from the main menu Screenshake slider Vsync setting Gamepad vibration Auto-fire setting Gamepad control re-mapping Alienware AlienFX support Logitech ARX Control support Improvements Improved keyboard and gamepad controls Improved menu Improved statistics screen Improved extras screen Optimisation and performance improvements Bug fixes Key map changes through the pause menu are now correctly applied Linux! We’ve finally managed to port Void Invaders to Linux! Right now, the official supported distros are Debian and its most common variants, including Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu. Other distributions may work, but you’ll have to install the required libraries manually, and we currently can’t offer support. If you use Debian (or one of its friends), you can use the “Play install dependencies” launch option to install necessary libraries, after which the game can be played. Linux-specific bugs can be reported here. Many thanks to our friend Flippylosaurus who helped with troubleshooting and who created the install scripts. About Music Mode We’d like to apologise again for Music Mode not being released with this update. Real life got in the way and we didn’t find time to turn it into something worth playing. That’s why we decided to postpone it indefinitely. That’s all folks! We’re pretty sure that this will be the last major update for Void Invaders (though we’ll stick around and try to fix any bugs you may find). We’ve had a great time working on Void Invaders, but everything comes to an end. After having worked on it for nearly two years, we’re ready to start working on something new. Having a game on Steam truly has been an amazing experience, so thank you all for supporting us. We also genuinely hope you guys will enjoy the new update. By the way, Void Invaders is 83% off right now as well! Be sure to spread the word! Have fun and thanks for playing Void Invaders!!! ~VoidDev Noah & Koen

Hi everyone! Happy summer sale! Void Invaders will be 83% off for the entire duration of the sale. Spread the word and tell your friends and enemies! Shameless advertising aside, we wanted to let you know that we are still working on Void Invaders! A big update is in the works, which we’ll release somewhere in the next 1-2 months. The update will be completely free for everyone who owns the game. Here’s a quick recap of a couple things that will be added to Void Invaders:

Hardcore Mode with new ultra-hard levels and enemies
Music Mode (with leaderboards!)
More settings, including auto-fire, gamepad vibration and control remapping
New achievements
Steam Cloud saves
Polishing, balancing and bug fixing
Improved menu
More rewards for beating the game and new game modes
A lot of other stuff that we either forgot to mention or is super secret
So without further ado, here are some sneak peeks of the Upcoming Ultra Update: We realise we’ve made you wait for quite a while now, but we’re going to do our best to finish the update as soon as we can! We’d also like to thank you guys for your support. It has been a blast so far to work on Void Invaders! VoidDev Noah & Koen

Hey everyone, Hope you’re having fun playing Void Invaders! As we have mentioned before, we are working on another huge content update. Here are a couple things we will be adding:

Hardcore Mode: beat ultra-hard levels with new enemies and bosses
Music Mode: get the highest score before the track ends
New achievements
New leaderboards
New powerups
New skins
Steam Cloud saves
Polishing, balancing and bug fixing
More settings/options
AlienFX integration
Additionally, we’re looking into bringing the game to Linux, but we might delay that until another update. We want to make sure the game is great before attempting to port it! Since this update is going to be really big, it’s going to take us a while to get everything ready. We’re not sure when we’ll be releasing it yet, but we’ll definitely keep you updated. If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them in the discussions! We’d also be happy to hear your thoughts about this update. Thanks for reading and for playing Void Invaders! ~Noah & Koen

10 brand new levels, including 2 challenging bosses
An improved ranking system
A new game mode, including leaderboards
A lot more enemies
New achievements
Free soundtrack DLC
Bug fixes, gameplay improvements and polishing
We’ve also decided to remove all difficulties, since an improved ranking system will be added. Honestly, it didn’t add any value to the gameplay and just made everything more complicated and unstable. Due to this, the play time might be a bit shorter, but we’ve already partially made up for this with the new levels. We promise we’ll add new level packs in the future too! We're expecting to release the update around November 14th. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know in the comments. Thanks for playing Void Invaders!
