Community22 Dec 2025End of Year Message (and What’s Next for VOIN)Hello Vindicators, As the year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything we've built together—and to give you a glimpse of what's next. First and foremost: thank you . Every time I read your reviews, Discord messages, and Steam discussions, or watch a clip of your incredible runs, it truly means the world. As a solo developer, the journey is often a solitary one, push…
Vindicators, I'm working on a major overhaul of VOIN's itemization system, and I wanted to pull back the curtain a bit. This post is for the curious: the players who want to know why I'm making these changes, not just what they are. After watching how you all play and listening to your feedback, I realized the game's current itemization system has a number of fundamental issues which couldn't r…

Lightnings, After the game entered early access and players provided feedback about the lack of content, I decided to take some time to revise the current development plan. Game's World and Progression Originally ( around 2 years ago ), the game was designed to be fairly linear and without deep character progression systems, with an average playthrough lasting about 12 hours (2 hours per locati…
