Hi everyone.
Please let me introduce myself, i am Riccardo, Indiegala director,
also game director of Die Young and former producer of Blockstorm
We've got big, big news for all our fans who have supported us on our indie game project, Voodoo.
Colossal news.
First of all, our collaboration with Brain in the Box (the dev team originally working on Voodoo) has come to an end.
However, our exciting venture into the fantasy no man's land of primal Africa is on the verge of taking a giant leap forward.
We'd like you to join us in welcoming 34BigThings and Event Horizon Studios to the Voodoo project.
In case you're wondering, 34BigThings is the award-winning Italian indie game studio responsible for bringing you super-sonic, adrenaline-pumping races in Redout.
If you've been a tribesman in Voodoo, you know it's been a bumpy ride so far. However we'd now like to reassure you that you can count on scheduled and systematic updates each month. We're going to build the Voodoo we promised you and the roadmap is clear ahead of us.
The first order of the day is completely re-writing the netcode. Voodoo players will know that load balancing has been the biggest issue plaguing the game and it has disrupted many a savagely, brutally fun, multiplayer bout.
With 34BigThings at the helm of the project, we’re committed to fixing most of the software issues in the next months.
From there we’ll start moving down a sensible pipeline to stretch game features and add more exciting colossi.
I also take the opportunity to anticipate that the servers will be held down for a few days to allow the new team to better understand the architecture and clean up a bit around. Please have few more weeks of patience, we are totally rebuilding the game, but this time the software will not disappoint you.
More detailed announcements will follow in the coming days.
Voodoo was one of our most ambitious projects this year and lots of you followed us through a hard-won Kickstarter victory and into a daunting Early Access on Steam. We’re asking for some #GamersUnite love again here to follow us into one of the final phases of bringing you the project you’ve been rooting for.
Sincerely,
Indiegala & 34BigThings.
