I love it so far! (ignoring the obvious bugs ofcourse)

The new base is amazing and terrible at the same time, just the perfect environment to get paranoid and spooked in.
I can't wait to see what else will come in the future, even though I probably haven't seen more than 20% of the content of 0.7.0a yet, I already feel impatient and excited for the next big update to come!

At the same time, after seeing a video of the old base, I kind of felt slightly homesick. Even though it wasn't as cool as the new one, it felt like home in comparison.

Please keep this amazing work up, VOTV is one of the very few indie games that actually got that special something that makes it an amazing game!

I like game. I'd like to see wristwatch ( at least display in HUD)

I love the new base, massive improvement from the last. One criticism I have is with the tower: I wish there was a way to check it like the transformers. The tower always catches me right before midnight XD

I also would like to touch on the elevator because it's horrendously slow, although I personally could go either way on it since I don't use it very often

Developer(+9)

You can check the status of the tower from the console using a command from the list. And in the latest patch the radio tower status is displayed on drone panel.

Oh damn, I must be very blind then XD

I don't know if I should write about the bugs of the game here, but I will. Omega Kerfus(pink) does not fix satellite servers.

I can make some items unstackable, and you can already turn off stacking if you need a specific item (check the button in the inventory)

Developer(+1)

The issue with stacking objects in votv is that all items are kinda "unique", some objects carry too much unique variables like Float values, strings etc, so i cant use Minecraft method of stacking. I can mark some items unstackable like batteries, paper, labeled items etc, and keep food and trash stackable.
And no, it displays the volume of one item, i will implement this in the next patch or smth

Speaking of stacking, a possible workaround (and general upgrade), specifically for food would be to create object variants for food at different "bite remaining" levels. A good start would be same model, lower weight, to make opened containers distinguishable from unopened ones. I'm not sure how your game handles items, but a variant variable (from which weight and mesh/model are derived) would be perfect for this.

Let me know your thoughts, i'd love to contribute.

In Zomboids, what they do, is that they stack items, and that stack has a sub menu to display each items of the stack. 

Helping people to check specific changing stats of every item of the stack. 

Maybe you could do what Project Zomboid does? Items stack but you can open up a stack to see individual items

Developer(+2)

Also you can already name objects
In the paper interface you can see the Blue button - it will create a nametag you can put on any object

Hey mrdrnose! Been loving your game and following it for well over a year now and really enjoying it.

I think v0.7 is a great start with the base changes, making it feel like an actual base with lots of stuff you can do within it, and how creepy it can be sometimes.

(Spoilery territory warning?) I'm hopeful that in the next patches though, that we begin working on some more scares! There aren't as many entities in the game as I originally had thought and got a little saddened by that.

I hope we can have more hostile creatures that roam and try to get into the base, and of course, some overall 0.7 bugfixes as well! I had some issues with Omega Kerfus not repairing servers and having to use 'Baby Kerfus' for that! And of course some pathfinding issues, but I'm sure that'll get sorted out in the next small hotfixes or next big patch.

(Unrelated?) Reading lots of negative stuff lately that from an outsider I don't quite understand. I really, really hope these people aren't getting to you and that you can continue to work on this awesome game.

Off to go hunt more signals!

Developer(+11)

Thanks for the input <3
There will be more stuff in the future, 07 took a while to come out due to some heavy features like the base, assets, debugging, new code etc.

After i fix all critical bugs ill release 07 update officially. The next 071 update will bring some new features, perhaps new entities

(+1)

Greetings from Colombia I love the game I'm waiting for update 071

(+4)

In fact, I do not know what really worthwhile could be offered, which Nose itself would not have thought of. 

1) Binoculars with the ability to upgrade to night vision glasses? or with a thermal imager.

2) A pair of oddly shaped trees to be scary and paranoid.

3) The ability to wash the textures of the shower and other objects of the base. 

4) An event where water will drip from the shower. Fix it with a wrench.

5) My ideas are not particularly cool, I rather wrote them without thinking, let's be honest, only the author knows what is needed and what is not, maybe then I will write something really useful.

Developer(+9)

Binoculars themselves would be cool, like an improved zoom function
This stuff can be implemented in some way, but idk about the shower cleaning. Unless the artist still got the clean version of the texture

(+3)

I really don't have a particularly important idea, I just wrote to support the community. But I hope there will be ideas. By the way, can you make a notification "are you sure you want to quit the game?" I went out two or three times without saving, by accident.

Developer(+3)

Appreciate the input anyways lol, but i was thinking about binoculars object and some kind of interaction with the shower
And yeah the Exit window popup can also make the menu function a bit more pretty

Sort of feel like I'm inserting, myself into this, but I would LOVE more big and interesting events like the ones in story mode in endless mode, mainly stuff to do with the Arirals in infinite mode. I love the Arirals, as well as the other aliens, and would love to see more of them in infinite mode!

Also add romantic interactions with Arirals Jk jk... unless?

just realized i downloaded version 6 but kept playing version 5 on accident, was wondering why my kerfur's outlet was busted lmfao. everything is great so far! just got spooked by the funny triangles trying to get me outside on day 12.

one big complaint, the windows in the base aren't scrubbable and it's driving me nuts with how grimy they are. MRDRNOSE PLZ FIX!!!! D:

Developer(+3)

Not scrubbable because the old window supported only flat surface, new window consists of 3 separate windows which creates some problems. Will be implemented in the future

awesome, glad to know!

(+5)(-2)

I was just beginning to realize the scale of the problem. how many angry fools come out everywhere to encroach on the developer, they don't even talk about the game, but about the developer. I wish you good nerves and patience. After all, he's making a game here.

Developer(+4)

Idk lmao they all came from these itch comments. If they really cared about the issue itself they would ask on discord sever instead of spamming on this game page

Regarding the Discord, I can't join because the bot is very stupid. He processed my phone number for 25 minutes. I hope the bot will become normal soon, I understand that it's not your fault, it's just a pity

Developer(+1)

I think i can verify you manually
Send your discord and ill see what i can do

I really liked update 07, the base is great and has great potential for a variety of ideas and scripts.                                                                                                                                                             

I would like to share my ideas for future events:
1. Arrival of an intern (at the late stage of the game or in the middle of it, Dr. Bao sends a letter about the imminent arrival of an intern/assistant for us. A few days later in the evening (at the same time as we arrived at the base), we receive a letter asking us to meet the newcomer at the checkpoint. We we run there and, with the help of evidence, find out the fate of the missing person (he is dead in any case.) That is, we find traces, his scattered things, and later what is left of him.
2.Arrival of the inspector. One day, someone from above sends a inspector to us (I see him as a typical G-man). He comes/arrives through the checkpoint and silently begins to explore the base, while talking on the phone. During this event, all other events should be disabled.
3.Limbo. Just a "Groundhog Day" event. For several days, events should repeat at the same time, and Kel's sanity will fall.
4.Yeti. It would just be interesting to see him. Or even do something like hunt him. Photo hunts for example (as in GTA)
5.More interesting things behind the map. For example, make an ivent of a falling plane (small) near the wreckage of which you could find supplies

New base is pretty cool, it feels a lot larger and the feeling of possible threat in one of the rooms is stronger then before. Any news about the stable version of 0.7? Or a patchnote?

I don't know if someone said this already but I can't interact with power cords. other than that small issue everything else is great

(+1)

Download 0.7.0a (pa07_0006), power cords are fixed in it

All versions of VOTV on my PC including 0.7a turned into unplayable files. The background on the main menu is distorted and pixelated, the render settings are no longer saved, the game accelerates to 2000 FPS, all save files have been erased, there is no sound, when opening the Tutorial the entire screen turns black, wtf.

From the game page:

Q: All my settings are at 0; Quality is super pixelated; Completely black\gray screen

A: Go to Settings>Game and click "Regenerate data.sav" button

Just click "Regenerate data.sav" and it should fix itself

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue, but I'm having some trouble. I have a wide 21:9 monitor, and sometimes the cursor seems to kida like... float away... In other wordswhen I try to click on something in the menu, I have to find the right spot on the screen instead of directly clicking on the desired button with my cursor. Is there any way to fix this problem?

I think you need to add your custom resolution to (your user directory)\AppData\Local\VotV\Assets\res.txt, disable auto-resolution option in the settings and select your resolution for it to work properly

thanks

Hello delevoper.

in version 0.7.0 there is a wild problem: the microwave plug cannot be taken, not to mention the fact that it cannot be inserted into the socket, please fix this cruel problem, since my person can barely live on 10 percent hunger.

It is fixed in 0.7.0a, just update the game and it should work fine

And of course i forget to ask i losted my atv when i was "REDACTED" how to respawn it?

It is fixed in 0.7.0a, just update the game, press reset save, only reset vehicle and it should respawn fine

The update is coming along very nice. I think my only concern is how much resources it takes to render the base due to how much is in the base on my GPU (1080ti) but I can't say it's too extreme or just a problem with my own card as of now.

I also like that the tower is now incorporated into your tasks to make sure the company drone can show up. It would be nice if there was an upgrade to warn you when it goes down, but I do think the coworkers emailing you about it is good too.

Lastly, I really like the touches done with the coworkers. There's a lot more character to them with this update and they feel more fleshed out, though sometimes I do get pretty normal responses to very unnatural drives I send them, which feels nearly the polar opposite to the 6.0 versions. Though I am glad not every message is "WOTR WILL BE REAL" now, I would understand if they freaked out over some more extreme sounds I send them. That said, I do like where you are going with them.

set shadows to 2

Ahead of you there, I have mine set to 1. I put a lot of stuff on 1 or 0 in fact.

(+13)

I love the update so far. My only criticism right now is with the new base - more specifically with the uncleanable dirt and scratches / unfixable cracks. Though  it's possible that this is only because it's "SUPER EXPERIMENTAL"  right now. If not - then I would love if you could buy plaster and use the wall fixer to patch up cracks, and maybe even paint walls with a roller and several colours. As for the scrapes and hardened dirt - something like 'Industrial Cleaning Soap' that you add to a bucket of water would fit nicely. I feel like this is asking way too much though, but I hope this feedback is useful regardless.  :)

(+4)

With this new version, damage to the player was enabled by default. As much as I think it's very important to have a punishment for throwing yourself from high places or driving like crazy across the map, I think dying and having to come back from a save that, often, we don't even know when and where it was, is very drastic.

Another thing I would really like to see changed is the button to get off the quad bike, it's unbelievable that it's still the same button to pause the game.


One last thing, which seems kind of impossible to do (at least for now):

The possibility of accessing real websites via computer, like what happens in the game "Welcome to the game". It would be really cool to be able to browse twitter or other random sites while waiting for a signal to finish downloading, total immersion.

Who knows, you might even be able to use this same function to put YouTube videos on the television and radio and watch creepypastas (maybe even having events related to this (like an video created by you playing out of nowhere and scaring the shit out of the player)). I know this requires a lot of work, but it would be really cool.

(+3)

Yes, it will probably be better to just make player unable to run or drive ATV when getting a lot of fall damage instead of resetting from last save. Or at least make player die only when falling from height of a tower, and not falling from 1 floor or waking up from a nightmare.

The ability to access real websites from game is possible to make, integrating simple browser into a game is easy to do, but it will probably not fit into an atmosphere of VotV very well

the game is really cool, thanks! 
But would be cool to mod, there is mods but Idk how to make them work in the game.

(+4)

So far, my experience with the new update has been fantastic. The new base design makes it feel as though your station is undermanned, I like how the main entrance and garage were basically swapped, and the meat locker in the basement is really good at making you feel as though you cant be safe in your own home. Additionally, I like how the Ariral's(?) events were done, and that the radio tower was given functionality. I have experienced what I believe to be a new event and I have to say hats off, I was literally having a panic attack during that sequence, which is how it should have been. 

I do have one criticism, and I know I can turn it off, but I hate the damage system. More specifically, I hate the damage system in relation to the physics of the game. The physics system is the perfect level of jank for the game, it is crazy enough to feel like a break from the horror, and manages to balance being an nuisance and a punishment pretty well. For example, you're driving on a bridge and your ATV decides to hit the railing for some reason, You find it hilarious at first, are slightly annoyed at the time wasted getting up and getting your ATV off the railing, but that annoyance is fleeting. The damage system changes this. Several times while driving I was thrown off course randomly and into objects I couldnt avoid in time. This has even gotten me killed on occasion. Beyond that, it no longer feels funny when such events happen because now Im getting punished with player damage that will limit your FOV, thereby worsening your ability to navigate even more and likely causing more accidents. This also gets rid of the fleeting annoyance, because now Im constantly aware that I have to get a medkit unless I want to risk dying. The game already had a system to punish reckless driving in the form of ATV damage, but player damage through physics(beyond fall damage, to a certain degree) is bound to cause issues where players take damage that wasnt their fault and have to live with it until they get medical attention or until it goes away.

Sorry for the rant, my opinion of the update is still really positive, and Id consider it a 8/10 with the physics damage off. I find most of the new features to be really good for the game going forward, though I really feel like physics damage is counter productive to that.

(+1)

I like this review about the damage system. maybe a different kind of damage? like getting knocked out for a few hours depending on sleep and food levels or just a set amount of time based on the damage? I've been playing pretty hardcore for the last few days and the only time I have felt annoyed is with dying from ATV accidents. Just goes from funny to annoying pretty fast. maybe even an equipment that prevents damage from accidents like those airbag suits people who race motor cycles wear? now its progression.

(+1)

It makes no sense to build a toilet on the 2nd floor, that's a lot of extra plumbing for no reason and it would be more convenient from gameplay perspective as well for it to be on the first floor since most stuff happens there. Would be cool if there was a bit more stuff on 2nd floor, but with this only being pre-alpha I'm sure there will be. Other then that I really like how the new base looks and it's layout!

(+2)

I think the bedroom and bathroom were moved to the second floor because too many people were constantly using the toilet to avoid sleeping every time, this breaks the gameplay a bit because you can just use the toilet and don't sleep to get a lot of free time instead of constantly working. About extra plumbing: there are many small houses that have toilet and bathroom on the second floor for convenience, and there is a reason to put a bathroom near the bedroom. Also, the developer wanted to make player explore the base more, and putting the bedroom on the second floor forces the player to go around the base instead of sitting in one place.

There is an empty space on the second floor between two rooms where can be another room, and I think the radar fits perfectly into it. This way players will be forced to walk around the base to see if there are any entities on the radar or to find where they lost their ATV, and overall it will be more logical for radar to be on the top floor instead of the signal processing room

The update is looking good so far. but what is gpu board? was it added before, or is it a feature from 0.7?

(+2)

It is a feature from 0.7.0, it is used for mining (passive income), to use it you need a frame that you can also buy in store, you will also need metal scrap to upgrade your frame to fit more GPUs, there are also some instructions for it in a paper under the trash in TR_2

Overall look at the game: It's got an interesting loop, decent look that's clearly stating something's not right, and it makes you feel at home. The concept of running your own SETI base is quite a delight for someone who enjoys searching for extraterrestrial life.

Regarding the update: The new base is amazing. Having such an expansive yet reasonable base is amazing. I can't help but hope more props get added to let me make the whole base feel more at home. At least until something explodes and throws my stuff all over the place.
I can't help wonder what the aliens think when H.Y.C.Y.BH by Tom Cardy starts playing on the radio.

Hopes and ideas: I hope the W.I.P. items like the hammer and the wall tool get finished. I would love to be able to construct extensions or even fortifications. My only idea is the ability to give Dr. Boa a reason why you can't get hashes personally. Honestly, I don't have many ideas to offer, due to the uncertain nature of the game.

As a final note, one of the frustrating things I keep seeing is the Kerfuses (Kerfusi?) keep getting stuck on the curbs around the base, leading to me having to leave my bastion of safety to huck the moron into the front door.

1) Doors. The satellite doors was broken (missing).
I just downloaded version 0.7.0a to test and when i came to fix server, i didn't see the door, found a large seam in the doorway.

2) Tower. 

I wanted to send the box with the data, but I couldn’t call the drone, I climbed up the tower to check, it was online, but I still pressed the button just in case. After I was able to call the drone. I'm not sure that the problem was in the tower, of course.

thx for this build, I feel a lot of work was done.

(+3)(-1)

I've already posted this, but still

well, I tried version 0.7.0a (I played with 0.6.2). I can say that the version is worse in terms of game design. I mean, everything happens too early, unlike the previous version, for example: on the very first day, you can understand that you are not alone in the complex by the hatch + if you climb there with a hook, you can catch an event with cockroaches in a bucket. on the 5th day, we already saw a monster and sooo close on the 3rd day, stones were scattered near the complex which again reminds us that we are not alone. so why is this a bad game design? I will compare with version 0.6.3b unlike the old versions, they make it clear to us that "you are not alone" and this is bad, because the essence of the game was that you were allowed to relax and nothing happened for the first seven days (well, almost) and the player was allowed to relax, after which they made him think that he just forgot something like "did I turn off/turn on the lights here?" "did I leave this door open?" "has this plate been here before?" etc. This caused a very strong effect that made goosebumps run over your skin because you don't see what's going on and can only come from your memory, which made the game really creepy, unlike 0.7.0a. in 0.6.3b, some strange things happened abruptly and disappeared just as abruptly that the player thought it was a dream or it seemed to him in general, the game is still great and I really like it. (Sorry 4r my English)

I understand that everyone has different experiences, but still I can't feel alone when something like this happens, unlike the bad sun on the second day

Your complaints are kind of dumb, considering how random events work here. I had 25 days on my last save, and barely had any events at all. On my new save, 15 days in, I already had triple the amount. I think it's just that the randomizer system could use some polishing and calibration

I mean another... but IDK how say that

(+2)

Loving the update so far,  the new base is gorgeous yet terrifying, just had a couple of tweak suggestions (spoilers ahead for others who may be reading):

Tweak Suggestion 1 - Allowing the static blood splatters found around the base to be cleaned.

Tweak Suggestion 2 - Adding some way to manually fix/repair the cracks and holes textures in the walls and floors.

Tweak Suggestion 3 - Allow the cancelling of wall builder brick placements.

Tweak Suggestion 4 - Maybe make the caves just a biiiiiiiiiit easier to navigate and explore. Getting the radioactive crystals seems a lot less viable when you have to delve through kilometers of winding tunnels to find them.

Tweak Suggestion 4.5 - On that note, unless it's not already in and just don't know about it, add a tool or function or special cave object that can bring you back to the start of the cave. For now, the only way to get back is to press the numpad period/delete key and ragdoll as you fall.

Tweak Suggestion 5 - Add an option in settings that allows you to see the sell price of an item in your inventory.

Tweak Suggestion 6 - Allow us to do SOMETHING with the empty pots, the ones that we find around the base. I don't know, let us craft it with a pinecone or something and we get a potted shrub, etc.

the game is compatible whit windows 10

yea

and the future the game is better

and the future the game is better

ofc too

i love the new mode finaly i can be scared all the time and not sitting outside while data is proccesing👍

hi

Hello

(+2)

Any chance we could see something like purchasable repairs to the base? Like being able to repaint walls or put new wallpaper in the breakroom or even replace the grimy carpets with something new. Would be a fun future update I think!

(+1)(-2)

I think it would be better for the delivery drone to drop items somewhere outside instead of garage, this way players will be forced to walk outside to get their items instead of constantly sitting inside and rarely go for satellites. This would also open the room for new events.

Also it maybe better to place radar on the second floor in the room between the room with the elevator and the staircase, this way players will need to go upstairs to see if there are any entities, and it doesn't make sense to have a radar on the ground floor in the signal processing room.

I dont know if this is fixed in the new update but when I'm playing on the 7.0 super experimental version the drives would explode randomly when i try to save a signal on them, i dont know if thats supposed to be a feature it doesnt happen all the time but its kinda random and has happened to me 7 or more times and i lose the drive and the signal when it happens. Great game keep up the awesome work, cant wait to see what else is new.

I think drives explode only when they are damaged, so it is probably a feature, not a bug

They also exploded for me but I think its a prank from the (REDACTED)

(1 edit)

I really like the new base! There's a lot of cleaning and decorating that can be done, which is really cool. The aerial relationship system also sounds very promising. Being able to trade and interact with them in a more positive way is a great idea. Having a mix of bad/good/neutral aliens and events will definitely add variety to the game.

Here are a few things:

  1. Non-Functional Socket: There's a socket on the second floor in the empty room that doesn't work. Imagine my disappointment after spending a good 45 minutes dragging my mining rig up there, only to find out the outlet doesn't work...
  2. Drone Return Feature: A "return to base" button for the drone would be very helpful. Maybe it could be a built-in feature, or perhaps a purchasable module or even a separate launch pad you can buy and place on the base for the drone to return to when activated.
  3. Equipping/Unequipping Items: I may be missing something, but I couldn't figure out how to unequip the backpack, hazmat suit, or night vision glasses. This was quite annoying because the vision becomes very wacky when wearing them. Additionally, the backpack doesn't seem to have any functionality at all, and it also seems to give a visual effect similar to wearing a hazmat suit? Finally, all equipped items disappear after loading the game for some reason.  Upd: On a new save, the equipment worked properly, and there was indeed a button. The backpack also didn't have any bad visual effects like in the previous one. I guess it was just bugged :/
(+2)

You can unequip items by opening 'Equipment' tab in top left corner in your inventory and clicking on the icon of an item you want to unequip

Yep, you're right. I think my save was bugged. After starting fresh, all the issues with equipment disappeared

I love the size of the new base, and I try and go into the basement as little as possible in the best way lol. My only complaint is that I keep failing every couple of reports, not that I think it's a bug necessarily, but I have to play on a lower resolution and I think I just get some wrong. It would be nice if they auto-filled once you go to the tower and get the hash code, but I'm sure that would be a lot more complicated coding-wise. I'm making more money selling trash anyway :D. Keep up the good work, I'm still having a blast playing!

MREs still rot and attract roaches, which is dumb. That's not how MREs work.

I really like 0.7.0. but its still notcomplete version and also can you add more places where you can clean thinks with sponge and fix a bug where ATTENTION SPOILERS!!! Kerfus (pink) cant fix sattelite server.

and i wanted ask is it possible to add more interact for (possible spoiler?) shelter

The game does not open when I enter it in the executable, solution please

(+1)(-1)

Really loving the new base! It's very expansive and I imagine it will be very modular to add things to it later. I'm definitely hoping for more secrets to uncover involving the vents and the basement.

My one complaint is that all of the curbs in the parking lot around the base can be a bit annoying. Kerfus can't go over them so it gets stuck around the base often when coming back, the mannequins also trip and get stuck around them, and it's awkward to move the ATV over them.

He does get stuck. Every. Single. Time.

(+2)

I have a blast playing 0.7.0a. New base is amazing. Bugs kinda annoying, but I can only blame myself for playing experimental version. Really hopes for more content! This game will be fantastic on full release
Also! Please make non-perishable food to not attract cockroaches. My chocolate bars are rotting even when I bought them 3 days ago

I made a post about this before, but what if the player loses hunger and stamina (maybe not hunger) when they get hurt.

Maybe even lose a maximum percentage of stamina (only being able to recover up to 50 points until the player uses a health kit).

I just think it would make situations like.. getting hurt in the middle of the forest at night, and now having to get back to the base without being able to run (or passing out because of hunger) much more interesting than simply save scumming all the time because the fear of dying from something silly like a prop glitching is real.

(2 edits) (+8)

I've sketched out a couple of ideas. 

1) A device that does NOT allow mushrooms to grow in its radius (the radius is configured to cover the entire base)

1.1) An alternative mode of this device, which increases the growth of mushrooms in the range. (it may even change the effects of mushrooms and add new species) The device is unique and is not sold in the store.

2) Convenient trolley for transporting large objects. the reference picture is attached.


3) Folding chair (second picture) it is convenient to carry, it weighs little. You can motivate players to use the sitting function if the sleep (stamina) parameter is spent half as much while sitting.


Thanks for reading my silly ideas!

These are excellent ideas

I am very pleased thank you!

I liked some of these ideas. The chair one i am not too sure. But it gave me an idea of your own chair being upgradable, as, you start with a crappy chair at the base that drains stamina quite fast, but you can upgrade it to drain less stamina over time.

how to distinguish garbage bags from meat bags

I think currently the only way is to remember it yourself and place them in a Box or a certain corner, to make it easier to remember.

Yup thats how i do now thank you

grrr what do you mean i cant drink gasoline

Saddening

I think this was intentional but before this version to get hash codes I would hold X to zoom and position the terminal screen onto the left of my screen and open the clipboard so as to write hash codes and see the code simultaneously, But now when I do such a thing it forces a zoom out so I can no longer do this time saving trick haha.

If it's intentionally changed to prevent this that's okay but if it's not I loved being able to do this because I have problems remembering strings of numbers/characters etc. and because of this change it has made satellite visits take soo much longer because often now i'm also messing them up and have to re-do reports haha

cant you like just look at the code from the left side of the screen instead of zooming in

Hi there, i bring some feedback from someone whose first-time playing was in version 0.7.
I've had a fantastic time since the beginning. Most importantly, i have enjoyed that there were no spooks at the start, letting me to get used to the base and the surroundings...... either that or i'm blind and oblivious. Which is good, because i usually really dislike horror games. While VotV really got me interested. So, in no particular order, here goes:

  • Immediately i have gone to clean it a bit up, evicting all of the creepy mannequins. 
  • The base really feels like a scientific building, intended for several people except for the lack of beds. It should probably have some broken wooden ones.
  • I have ignored crafting, as i didn't seem to get the right items. It wasn't very intuitive. It would probably be better to have some kind of poster with icons above the bench. Three days in, i also accidentally overwritten one of the pages of the crafting book. I wish there was a way to recover the page.
  • From the tutorial i have learned that i need to attach a paper to the box, but i didn't learn what should be on the paper. Eventually i figured out it should be the satellite hash codes, but it took me several days of lost profits.
  • I was really annoyed by the sudden wood clashing sounds. After searching on reddit i have found out that it is from branches dropping of off trees. It would be great to get a different sound.
  • Guessing the "reception" room code to the keypad in garage was a nice moment.
  • I'd love having something extra to do at the base other than cleaning up.
  • The emails from scientist tell me my data is shitty and i should do better job with it. At first i thought there is some step i have missed in the process, but it turns out he is just complaining i don't have processing upgrade yet. The message should probably be a bit more clearer.
  • I have only encountered two bugs - missing doors at satellite stations and items falling through the picnic blanket, so i didn't see most of them.
  • Not sure if it is bug, but sometimes i can put items back into inventory with R, sometimes it just drops them instead, even if my inventory is empty. I couldn't find any pattern to this, other than that it seems to work when starting the game and gradually breaks. I have lost many items this way.
  • As a coward, id love more events that don't include ugly monsters or deadly circumstances. Just straight up weird and unusual stuff. Maybe like stalker anomalies.
  • I have no idea what to do with all of the trash piles.
  • I haven't been able to break boxes with a hammer. Wish i could. Especially after that rock prank in the basement locker.
  • It would probably make more sense to have less lockers, and having some kind of archive instead. 
  • It would make more sense to have lockers in the satellite buildings.
  • When standing at the satellite computer, i wish i could query the radar for number of entities, or their proximity to me. I'd love to avoid them.
  • The cupboards in the kitchen/bedroom are too high up. I cannot reach them without climbing up on the counter. 
  • It would probably be nice to guide new players more towards the computer, and that it has several features such as shop. Maybe give the player a goal to send an email to the HQ once they arrive to the building.
  • I like the satellite station markings. But it confused me that A is taken by the base and the trios of towers start at BCD EFG HIJ. It would make it easier to nagivate if the stations were ABC DEF GHI JKL... and the base ended up being ZULU. Can i maybe get a pocket paper map?
  • I liked finding all of those resources scattered around the base. Such as tapes or boxes.

EDIT:

  • I loved the aliens pulling harmless pranks on me. Such as the cardboard cutout or parking their ship outside of the base.
  • Kerfur is awesome, but you should explain the concept of personal space to it.
  • The hidden tiny gas can on the roof was funny.
  • I wish there was a command history in the consoles, by using up and down arrows. Just like in real terminals.
  • It should be possible to clean the blood stains. The sponge doesnt seem to work on them, which is a shame.
  • Having ESC not work as a pause button when driving has caused me so many issues. Could you please change that binding?

Thank you for making such a nice game, i wish you a lot of luck and patience with the development. You really did create something unique and enjoyable.

there is a digital map for like 150

Yes, i am aware of the digital map. But in the beginning that is too expensive.

type "scr" in the console for scrolling mode

I didn't mean scrolling. I wanted command history, where if you press the up arrow, it will automatically type the previous command for you. So that you can use it again.

I too, usually dislike horror games, but VotV got me interested!

Really enjoying it, but we need more radioactive capsules, I can't have Kerfus and E*** at the same time because there is only one to my knowledge. Maybe add an outlet to the vent room/panic room? The physics on the coffee pots cord doesn't follow well when being dragged, so being able to fully retract it until I'm ready to plug it in would be nice as you can already do that for a few other appliances. The Rozital hole event with the laser might be better if you put a sort of laser safety guard that protrudes down the hole for a good 10-30 feet or so that then opens up to a bare laser, because the event doesn't give you a lot of time to experiment due to the projectiles flying at you, so I found myself running straight into the beam or being skittish and falling into it for 2 days irl trying to figure it out. Had someone not told me, I would never have tried to fall down the side of the hole, so my suggestion is to change the design to give a bit more of an environmental  like guidance as to what you're supposed to do, with the laser guard protecting the player running frantically into the well until they fall in enough to see you can go down there then as they fall have the laser open up and become a threat to maneuver around.

you can retract the cord

(+1)

By retract, I meant fully where the cord stays within the object. Some appliances like Kerfus for example will have their cord fully disappear when you click retract, while others like the microwave will just cause the cord to zip close to it then fall back to the floor. I would prefer the former over the later because the physics on the cords aren't really good, they tend to get stuck in the floor so I'm constantly carrying my stuff, having to set it down, retract the cord, pick it up and do this until I get to where I need to be so the options are improve the physics, or what I think would be easier would be to just implement the toggle feature that Kerfus and the drone have already for their cords for the rest of the appliances.

Great work! Fantastic redesign of the base, it feels so much more like an actual facility now. Issues I found were scarce, besides the fact that drive racks seemed to delete stored signals.

I'm the only one who noticed in the settings/flight keys and cheat menu. And I got into the room because of the cheats, as I call "curiosity kills". Give me an answer how to get out of there without an exit?

i wish the old base would return as an optional feature. don't get me wrong, the new base is pretty good. i just got used to the old one

Everything is very cool, but please add the ability to take screenshots.

The camera you can buy in the store creates screenshots, unless I remember wrong. Beyond that, you'd have to rely on generic prntscrn or have a dedicated screengrab tool on your PC.

You can add the game to steam and take screenshots that way.

Among other things, I really liked the day extension function. I hope that in this setting it will be possible to set more than 150%, like 200-250%

I think it isn't day length, but day speed, because time goes faster if I set it to 150% and slower if I set it to 50%. I would anyways prefer it go like from 30% to 400%, because in early days, especially when restarting from the first day, no events happen and it gets really boring to just sit doing nothing, having all the tasks completed. Even on hard++ difficulty, at least for me, it takes about 8 to 15 minutes to run to the satellites without even using ATV and get all the drives, and other 20+ minutes I just wait for another day

(1 edit)

Where do you set it? I went through the settings multiple times and can't see it.

Edit: Oh, I see :D In the experimental settings.

The outlet does not work (plug does not go in) on the second floor of the room with a lift (0.7.0a,b)

Suggestion: allow the user to define a custom "assets" folder for the game. Is there some reason why this is not possible? My C: drive is small, basically only to hold OS files and some specific programs. If I try dumping a bunch of video and audio files in there to use in VotV, I'll quickly chew up the remaining space.

EDIT: Related to additional "assets" functionality, is there any chance of the game recognizing more file formats? Video is specifically what I'm thinking of, since many videos I have are other common formats, like AVI or MKV. I realize I could convert them, but now I would have to have multiple copies of various things floating around on drives just to use one in VotV. To be fair, I have no idea if this is just something the dev didn't consider or some kind of limitation that can't be worked around.

If you have administrator permissions, you can replace an 'Assets' folder with symlink (not just a shortcut) named 'Assets' that links to a folder on another drive

Heard, thank you. Never really encountered use of this before, I'll look into it. Quick look at how to set it up implies I might not even have to make a symlink folder at the other end, and that I can create direct links to files. That would be better, as most of my data is organized into various folders and subfolders on a specific drive.

I really like the new layout of the base! Not a lot of bugs so far. Only problem I have is that the story progression seems very inconsistent. In 0.6.3 and older versions, I usually found the first story signal around day 2 and from there, the random events slowly ramped up in craziness. In 0.7.0, major random events were happening on day 1 and I found the first story signal on day 8. I don't know if it's a bug or just bad RNG, but it breaks the linear immersion of the game. Apart from that, the update is really good, I'm really glad you guys are pouring your heart into this game so much.

This new base is great, but it's too big for one person. It must be a big research centre for many sciencists, but only one Dr.Kel  came there. Previous base was only for one sciencist, and that is more realistic. Maybe it is a part of the main story - the disappearing of all sciencists and all that, but if it isn't so: maybe you should develop the base in other way? 

I think it is a part of the main story - base was for ~20 people, and noone returned

Do you know, how can I destroy that trash heaps?

You can use a shovel to get different types of trash from the garbage

thanks=>

You can also order trashbags to bag the heaps up to sell for money using the box thats in essentials

THANKS X2

Yeah, it's a bit weird considering the absolute lack of bed and bathrooms. That part is still made for a single person.

there is multiple facilities in the area, even a bunker of unknown purpose right outside the base. I think it makes perfect sense the facility is large and is basically a checkpoint/general purpose building for the area, it's just serving the dual purpose of being your permanent accommodation during work, we had a very similar setup at my last place of work where the foreman on duty had their own bedroom they would take shifts in despite there being plenty of other employee activity on-site

When changing controls, "dismount" seems to only work for getting off the ATV. All other objects/items (PC, scanner, console, notebook, etc.) require pressing ESC. Using 0.7 dupe debug version, but this existed on both other versions of 0.7 (haven't tried "at your own risk" version). I don't believe I ever changed controls in older versions because of other issues I foresaw, so I can't say if this is new or has always been that way.

Is there a way to get a new Pickaxe from the "lady of the lake", like in the store or something, mine kinda fell through the map?

if you permanently lose unique items and absolutely want/need them back, you can fetch them from a new save and put them in the mailbox (mailbox contents are saved independently from the game saves)

the pickaxe wont fit in the mailbox

Please let us move or destroy the chair at the console in the main room. It's too large, it's in the way, and it doesn't even function as a roleplay/fun item since it can't be turned and you can't even comfortably work while sitting in it.

Also, the ATV sound abruptly starting and stopping when making small adjustments to speed gives me a migraine.

I got hit by the dupe bug about an hour in and my inventory became clogged with infinitely self-replicating items, so I don't have much more to say than that.

I cant craft kurfur omega, i have all the pieces needed but it refuses to craft it, is this a bug or is there something different you have to do to craft it

Try using the scroll wheel, it'll let you cycle through different blueprints

The text says kurfur omega blueprint but still doesnt build it

It now requires the demon core

yeah I have that but still won't build it

Reached the 'end' with at least a few hours more stuff to play with. Really enjoying everything so far and planning to restart, now I have a bit more knowledge under my belt. I love the new base and the multiple new spooks and events. I did get the temporarily 'changed' sky a few days AFTER the 'end' notice though, not sure if that was a bug or not or just a WIP thing. The later events [40 days+] were amazing, despite the bugged one involving the pit, but even that was a tonne of fun and kept me on edge for what was going to happen next. I also enjoyed the 'wreck' and 'gib' events. Both were extremely unexpected and scared the hell out of me, as I only noticed they'd occurred after hearing the noises associated.

- A minor issue I had was the deer appearing in the same spot as a bush near the front base path, meaning I was running back and forward trying to find it for ten minutes. A simple thing, unless the deer spawn can be set to / excluded from certain areas [only on paths / not inside X/Y/Z etc].
- O-K got stuck when asked to patrol, when he walked out the door and got stuck just next to the mailbox, between the wall and the railing. I had to restart him to get him moving, then realised what had happened, after I fell through the floor and could see the bases interior brushwork. Didn't seem to happen again at all after that and I was able to jump out of the hole fine. O-K never fell through the floor, but his pathing seemed to get confused by it as he basically circled around in the one spot, trying to get to the stairs.
- Rarely, O-K would refuse to run reports, with no explanation or obvious issue. When this happened, it would leave me with the only option of 'turn off'. The paper he was holding will disappear and he will require another when reactivated.
- After accidentally choosing 'fix transformer' with none currently down, I have to restart O-K to get him moving again. Any equipped clothing will drop and has to be re-equipped which is a bit of a hassle.

Haven't had this much fun being scared since Condemned was released. Can't wait for more.

Watching chrbrg stream this, I really kind of hate how the new base looks.  I really don't know how else to describe it. When I watched the stream of it I just went "Is this like a weird build or mod?".  There's like.. a meat room, and everything just looks way more complicated.  The sort of simplicity of the original one just feels kind of dashed away.  There's like, a meat room?  What the hell is this place even supposed to be?  Purgatory?    The new style of it feels like it's going to give me anxiety being inside, but like, the bad type of anxiety not the good type of anxiety. 

I'd prefer it if it didn't have extra space just to try and up the creepy, I think the simplicity of it before made it plenty creepy. I really liked the main room and how it's window looked, the new console room is okay but combined with the rest of the now segmented & distanced building layout just makes it feel like a bit of a headache to actually navigate, where as the last one was very accessible. 


Maybe that's just me reacting in a somewhat extreme way but like.  It gave me like, a sense of whiplash.  It's just a lot to take in. 
I almost just feel like that whole weird area with the meat and the meat could just be like. deleted. 
It's existence all the way over where it is brings me pain.  It feels like it should not exist.

(1 edit) (+1)

there is no meat room. it is just a meatball, you can choose or not choose to keep. charbrg likes to break games, so sometimes it is hard to tell what average game interactions can be from watching his streams, that is not an insult because i like his style, it just means that it is hard to tell about games he plays untill you play them yourself. I guarantee you the base is still simple, just has more routes to explore.  and there is garbage to collect for crafting or just throw away so you really get that sense of ownership/ accomplishment, when you get it straightened up the way you like. hint if you want to get rid of garbage fast, find shovel and use it on the squishy garbage.

I think they are referring to the meat locker in the basement. It's behind the metal freezer type door propped shut with a chair. AFAIK you can't access it, just look in with a flashlight. Most people don't spend very long messing with it before moving on.

When will there be updates in the form of a romantic club with arirals?))

I was coming here to mention the inventory duping glitch I encountered, but I see you've already released an update that addresses that, sooo...

Instead maybe a suggestion for the stacking:
Can you make it so the used batteries don't stack? At the moment they stack with new batteries which makes is a little hard to figure out which to keep and which to throw away if you have multiple.

Other than that, I've loved the way you've been going with the game so far. I'm super excited to see what you come up with next!

(1 edit) (+1)

The Update and the game itself is great, but Kerfur can stuck in any ladder-like place. I like it...

(+1)(-1)

This update is perfect, as i hear.

But maybe you can add choice between bases(old one and new), where player can choose what base he'll play

New base is *amazing*, my only complaint is that it is fairly unreasonable/annoying to toggle breakers for increasing speed/efficiency of each group of computers after you get even minor upgrades. I know it's a huge challenge to program mechanically, but it would be cool if you could power off/on each of the computer units at the desk itself, like a power button at the corner of each monitor, and maybe something like if a transformer is under cycle 25 there's a chance each time you power on a computer it can trip the breaker, or even just a random chance event that scales to be more frequent with more transformers at low cycle? It would give a reason to have to go to the basement beyond a full scale blackout, and also give a warning/reminder of the transformers existing and needing maintenance, and be more tense during certain events, knowing just because power is still on doesn't mean your breakers won't betray you :)

mrdrnose fixes all the bugs anyway, and therefore it makes no sense to ask him to fix bugs in the game, because most of them will be fixed in the next version.

(1 edit)

I like the update, but what about the API for TVs, for example, so that the player can read .m3u8 like regular players that have the function of asking for a link. Or the ability to include this or that video from YouTube by taking only the link from above without trying to catch a direct link to the video file.

Мне нравится обновление, но как насчет API для телевизоров, к примеру что бы плеер мог читать  .m3u8 как обычные плееры в которых есть функция воспроизведения по ссылке. Или возможность включать то или иное видео с Ютуба взяв только ссылку сверху не пытаясь выловить прямую ссылку на видеофайл.

К сожалению, медиа-фреймворк Unreal Engine имеет довольно ограниченные поддерживаемые форматы для импорта мультимедиа. Я даже не уверен, что вы вообще можете импортировать .m3u8 в NFMedia (фреймворк Windows Media для Unreal Engine). Я не знаю, что конкретно использует mrdrnose, так что, возможно, это возможно, но не с нереальным движком "из коробки", так сказать

im experiencing a lot of lag, ive tried messing with the settings but nothing seems to fix it.
oddly enough the tutorial isn't laggy at all its completely fine.

(1 edit) (+1)

it might be a problem with volumetric lighting.  turn it off in settings > rendering > volumetric lighting

(+1)

it didn't help in my case. When there is a lot of light on the base, 30 fps and no more, if you turn on the light sticks, it will just be death. Mb 1050Ti start dying...

another fix would also be to lower the screen resolution in settings > rendering > screen resolution

it does make the game look grainy but it works well at increasing fps (at least in my experience)

I tried that but even with that turned off everything was under 20 fps still, especially during the daytime. I also tried out a previous version to see if id have the same problem and it was just as laggy.

Using 0.7.0b2 version (on a save that was originally made with 0.7.0 and also played on 0.7.0a, in case this affects things) and now all satellites have a second pair of doors directly on top of the first. This isn't too much of an issue for me, as I just open both doors, but the Kerfurs can't interact with the second doors and get stuck

(-1)

Old saves seem to affect the latest version.

Try a clean save and see if things are still duplicate.

В целом всё шикарно, но у меня перестал запускаться режим истории. Сразу показывается начальный дисклеймер и выкидывает в главное меню.

My kerfur was holding a fishing rod, but then I re-entered the game and it disappeared, what i can do?. Maybe i can load last save or what?

Good afternoon, straight from Russia, I want to say that the game is one of the best that I have seen lately, however, version 0.7 has a couple of flaws, for example, a hole in the texture next to the entrance door to the base, as well as the curbs next to the base are too high for kerfus

i'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but i've been trying to clean up the base and i keep dying when walking on and near the trash props. might also be the garbage bin? idk, is there any way to fix this?

edit: forgot to say that this is on version 0.7.0b2. oops

edit 2: okay, so, i am a complete fucking idiot because (MINOR SPOILERS)

.

i put the radioactive capsule RIGHT NEXT TO THE GARBAGE BIN. i didn't realize it does actual damage now lmaooo. problem solved then i guess

Well , it is my first time playing game , and I have several questions . Why flashlight turns off in the start of new game , is it anyhow connected to counter in top-right corner of the screen , what should I do ? Also in the start of the game on radar several red marks appear , what are those  ? Apart from that game is very cool and scary. Hope you will not stop improving the game !

The counter in top right corner of the screen is the flashlight battery, you need to replace the battery

3 red marks on the radar near base is you, your ATV and one disabled camera

There was a problem when downloading the new version 0.7.0b3, the antivirus simply does not allow game files to pass through and deletes them when trying to download. And so the new base is good, but there are problems with the AI of Omega Kerfus and the fact that the usual Kerfus cannot jump onto the threshold of the base and you have to go out and pick him up, and 1 bug in which the doors near the structure with satellite antennas simply disappeared forever.

(Another topic) And it was funny for me to watch those who accuse you of Russophobia and do not want to find out more information about why this happened, because the community rules were (seriously) violated. (I’m just a Russian speaker, even though I’m from Ukraine)

My Windows Defender and browser have detected a virus in a new version that was published three hours ago, is this normal?

first suggestion: Is it possible to give the drone its own controller and we can use WSAD and stuff to fly it? or if not can the click and drag bars be WSAD? its super annoying to use the bars.

second suggestion: emergency generator reset button on main generator hub next to base with a day reset timer and it causes all the generators to power off for [insert how long here] and resume fully charged. (maybe its a expensive buy upgrade)

Third suggestion: Gnome?

(-1)

Downloaded the new version. When checking, the browser blocked the file due to "viruses"

I'll wait a few days,If the browser continues to complain about the presence of "viruses",I'll just forget about this project

This is a false positive.  There is no way the dev would deliberately put an actual virus into their game after working on this for so long and fostering a rather sizable community to just piss it all away.

Why can't you just turn off all the defenders? People are so scared of trojans still, that pisses me off

this is Yandex, not a standard defender.

because its so bad even without them my browser blocks it. idk what virus it thinks this is but it's BAD

yay, I'm not alone with this problem

I had the same problem, just add the folder where you download the file to the exceptions for the time of downloading and unpacking the game, Yandex Browser relies on antivirus information and subsequently does not allow you to download the file

The only two files that were changed are VotV-Win64-Shipping.exe and VotV-WindowsNoEditor.pak, and none of them contain any viruses after unpacking them, I even checked with some online antivirus tools, they didn't detect any threats, so my guess is that when compressing game files into 7zip format somehow a binary sequence similar to trojan code was produced, it can be easily fixed by just compressing files in different format or with different settings

Hello dear mrdrnose. I really liked the 0.7 update. 

-Changing the checkpoint: initially it seemed unusual to me, but after that I realized that the checkpoint began to look much better. The banal addition of a breaking door makes you come back and check:or maybe there is something interesting there?

-Base change: well, the base has become many times more like a research complex and at the sight of it and its equipment, it feels like we were sent here because the staff that was at this base...

The servers were moved to a separate room, which is extremely convenient and logical. Now I even want to put cameras on the base, because in order to get to the sleeping place you need to go through the corridor > stairs > corridor and only then go to bed, and who knows, suddenly something might go wrong during your journey...

-Remodel of some objects and map elements: personally, I like remodels, I was able to get used to it quickly to them. -The result of the update: the update turned out to be very good, at least being on a new base it already changes the atmosphere of being on it quite a lot.

-Regarding ideas: I have a few ideas of what can be added to the game: 

1. Motion sensor cameras: This is a camera that captures every movement (exception:Dr. Kel, kerfuses, omega kerfours and micro movements of objects) Let's say the camera will send the picture to Dr. Kel's email, or automatically add them to the "pictures". 

2. The Observer Entity: From time to time, you can hear the click of a camera behind your back or from behind a tree in the distance. After that, you will be able to find in your mailbox a photo of how you are doing some business. This entity is not aggressive, you can make it a not very long event (the entity will also be able to take a picture of you when you sleep) This entity can also just stand and watch you, but after you notice it, it will hide behind a tree. (if you take a picture of it, then a photo will be added to your inventory that you can put in your mailbox and after a while the entity will take this photo from you instead of putting food or something else)

3. A sharp change in the flow of the river: The usual event is when the flow of the river begins in the opposite direction (perhaps at this time there will be something floating about the river...) 

4. Trap: A simple trap for catching someone or something can be located in any bush on the map.(also in the amount of 2-3 pieces in the old barn) It is not recommended to hit it because you will get a lot of damage, but not fatal and you will have to limp to the nearest first aid kit (an ATV can help you to get to them faster) 

5. The humble essence: You can see her far away from you, after which her face will change to distorted and scary and you will have some time until she gets to you (if you saw her in the forest, then she will arrive at the point where you last looked at her, if it was at the base, then she will start walking on your base and cry, if you hide well, she will stop crying and leave silently (you will understand this by the characteristic steps) 

These are all the ideas that I can voice HERE...

SPOILERS? My kerfus OMEGA by sometype of problem its dont fix servers how to fix it?

delete "the end is near" signal, i lost 40 hours IRL time

Kerfus got stuck in the lake, couldn't make it up a steep slope. Almost drown.

Idea for prank event.

So far, I really love the new changes, but just a few things I think could be tweaked.

The base redesign makes the base feel much more "official" with the new rooms like the server room, break room, and such. There's much more room to breathe and decorate in. It's good to spread out the key points like the terminals, severs, breaks, and bed, so not everything is in arm's length. I especially love the faded murals that really sell the age of the building and add a bit of personality to it. Any (potential) redesigns of the base should definitely keep those in.  However, I do wish the base exterior didn't stick out like a sore thumb. I think the dark concrete color could be lightened a bit to better match the white/grey of the satellites. The parking lot ends rather abruptly, making the base feel somewhat out of place. Lastly, I hope they'll be future additions to justify having parking spots as the walking trails don't seem to fit anything bigger than the ATV.

Many new features I love like the mining rig for points and the very helpful console commands. The weekly results bonus are s a nice touch to provide dynamic feedback to the player while giving a reward. However, Dr. Bao was understanding that I couldn't process to level 3 when I began up until the weekly results, which negatively affected the bonus. I hope this gets corrected. Also one more nitpick, I think the welcome email in new games should reflect sometimes needing to go up the tower and turning the drone back online.

I'm still pretty early game, but first impressions are looking really good. I understand there's a new reputation system and other features I've yet to explore, so I may leave another comment once I play through the whole game. Keep up the great work!

The new update is pretty cool, and I think the new events are pretty spectacular. 

[Spoiler warning]

However, I believe that the rozital hole event can be a little confusing for players (me, especially).  There isn't a good indicator as to how you're supposed to "end" the event, so what happened to me was I was stuck in my base for a couple days unable to sleep or save.  The reason why I was stuck in there was I hadn't saved in quite a while even before the event, and I didn't know how much damage the robot's lasers did so I ended up avoiding it so as to avoid losing all that progress.  Since the event wasn't despawning and I kept doing stuff at my base and making any progress I was going to lose greater, I eventually did go there to try to end it.  I didn't know that simply entering and leaving the area would end it, and I thought I had to deactivate the laser in the hole.  Ended up going down the hole after a frustrating few minutes.  Needless to say, I died and lost all my progress (1hr's worth). 

That was pretty much the only gripe I had with the update, but other than that I found very few issues/bugs.

Except for the fact that you can't pick up farming pots, that was a little annoying.

at satelite "Lima" there are 2 doors in the exact same spot.

Hello, i have a bug in 0.7.0b3, after i cleaned my base from all the garbage and saved, i came back day after and loaded that save, all the garbage came back :(

you will have more garbage to sell ;D

Hello mister MRDRNOSE ive beem playing this game for a while now and testing new versions all the time, if im correct im trying now 0.7.0b3 where omega can fix  the servers again, the only bug ive noticed was that satilite doors are doubled (a door inside a door) other bug is that sometimes when interacting with any machine the camera dosent go to machine but yes out of angle (fix by getting out of interaction and interacting again) and other is (not exacly a bug) but ive noticed that one of the satilites depending on position (clips inside the mountain) i gess the only way to fix that would be by changing the terrain or moving the building it self. Other than that i havent found any new bug. but i would like to know how this game came to be, is there any way i can see the story of the game, what engine was made of, as i recal by reading somewhere it was (source engine) but i would like to know more. and great game you did here, keep up the good work, 10\10

Windows is blocking it as a virus

It’s also blocked for me and here’s the name of the file, I hope they fix it. Most likely this happened due to the fact that when the file was converted to zip format, the code became similar to Troen code: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml i translated by a translator so I apologize for the mistakes

so far, the only fix is to exclude the file from any antivirus programs

why not add thirst to the game? since the game has plastic bottles as garbage, but our character only eats. how about adding other video cards? which depend on power, like the cameras in the game.

I've been watching the progression of the game for a while and 0.7 is amazing. The game feels like its taking shape in a way that is both pleasant during the day and deeply unsettling at night. The base upgrade is top notch, it looks like an abandoned facility compared to the proof of concept layout it had before. The expanse of the surrounding forest is frustrating until you get a feel for where things are located, which I think it should be. Getting lost in the woods because you went off trail is just another part of the mystique. 

If you do anything to ease new players navigation, a small hand map version of the large map on the wall would be nice, but unneeded. I say that because the option to set your compass to the dishes and transformers already works fine.

I can't wait to see how your game progresses!

Removing Lockers

I've recently Been wanting to remove Lockers from my base But There's no feature.

(Yes i know this would mess with The Locker Event but I'm fine with the lockers in the main signal room.)

I understand if You don't add a feature for this, but I feel Like Me and Many others want this feature.

Я кайфую от новой базы, но, думаю, стоит исправить баланс. Например, злое солнце слишком имбовое. Это буквально бесконечная еда. Надо либо уменьшить питательные свойства, либо увеличить урон по игроку, чтобы не фармил

it will not let me download. its listed as a virus. i tried multiple browsers. they dont even give me the option to "download anyway" it must me rly bad

its a new stupid update to antivirus, there's a forum page on how to get around the issue. 7zip compression algorithm has unfortunately generated false positives for years now and big companies are covering their ass about viruses and such by simply taking your direct control away

I can't play it, It says "pa07_0011.7z"

Have you tried unzipping it? With 7zip or other? .7z is a container. Like rar.

You need to extract it from the archive first with 7.Zip. We're in 2024 and people still don't know about extracting archives... 

Download 7.Zip > Install and setup > Go to the VotV archive you downloaded > Right click > Hover over '7-Zip' > 'Extract to "/"

Since it's possible to stay awake for days with caffeine,  the player could maybe go a bit nutty.

... you think you're sane?

Everything is fine, just FINE.  Nothing weird going on here. Nope, just a cozy job.

Please add a tablet to view the cameras, it will be very convenient to use drones, also about cameras with motion sensors, you can just add motion detectors and a camera trap. You can also add an observatory to take a picture of an object in the sky, you can add another way to earn points, compiling spectrograms of an image from the observatory, you can add a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram to determine the size of the object. With the fuel cell, it was very pleasant to see the glow of Vavilov-Cherenkov, but it is still a pity that the activity does not increase with close contact of fuel cells.

In the observatory, you can put a generator with RTG as fuel, you can use a fuel cell in it, as a minus of RTG, you can add an increasing radiation background as a result of long operation and overheating.

ADD A TROLLEY for an ATV, tired of riding with a box on balloons.

Относительно недавно наткнулся на эту игру, наиграв пока что 47 дней, и выглядит очень годно. Да, без багов не обошлось, например на версии 0.7.0 (эксперементальная) застрял на 25 дне, видимо скрипт ивента забаговался при входе в гараж. Сейчас на 0.7.0b3 застрял на 46-47 дне из-за события с фиолетовыми лучами и роботами, где стоял железный павлин.  А так в игре не хватает пугающих элементов, не скримеров, а каких-нибудь мистических, как с манекенами. Для примера что-то из паранормального: ходишь, делами своими занимаешься, а потом в комнате, например, стол перевернут или стул в воздухе летает, ну что-то типо того. Еще бы переделать включение ПК и его использование (например включение на системном блоке, а использование на мониторе), а то я часто выключаю комп, вместо просмотра почты. Даже не смотря на все это игра супер.

guys, maybe im doing something wrong, but some of the setting  doesn't work. i try to change the resolution of the screen, but it doesn't change. or maybe im so stupid that i can't figure it out.

I might've missed it if it exists but I would KILL for spray paints, or even better, crayons, something to make custom graffiti and wall art to really let the schizo juices flow, the ball of yarn was a great addition but causes performance issues when you use it as much as I do lol

You can create a custom poster with transparency for that, it looks exactly like a graffiti, doesn't affect the performance and can be placed on any surface

(+1)

sure, but I want to actually draw in-game, posters aren't super immersive and are only really good for set piecing/making videos

guh, my kerfusO can't find broken servers, all doors unlocked and not buggy, he runs away fora  bit and comes back after a few meters

mrdrnose, you can add a collector to accommodate the "SCP" with an endless descent, in the collector you can place both a pipe decoration and a fiber optic, and a small boiler room.

Please add a vacuum cleaner, broomba collects another broomba, collecting small debris becomes more unbearable, especially starting the game over.

I love this game!

I relate to science and research. You managed to create an interior that can be seen often in research bases, labs and so on. Of course I'm talking about such isolated places where the bosses don't come and it takes 2-3 people to maintain the infrastructure and conduct research. Since scientists are people with endless motivation for research, they pay all their attention to research. For example, my partner once did project 15+ hours without a lunch break, eating the usual chocolate bars and coffee, lots of coffee. Her workplace was full of garbage. One might conclude that scientists don't clean up or like to mess up their workplaces, but they don't. We do regular cleanings and if it needs to be perfectly clean and sterile, we do that too. Some of us are perfectionists so you will find their workplace perfectly tidy and free of foreign objects.

There really aren't many games about scientists and exploration. There are many games that use the topic of scientists or the topic of research but that's where it ends. The game gives you a chance to feel like a scientist, to feel the excitement of research and being in an isolated area alone.

This game is the perfect horror game. Man is more afraid when the danger is unknown. Fear of the unknown is more frightening than anything else. You have managed to create the perfect system that forces the player to constantly leave their comfort zone for various reasons. It could be collecting data, fixing servers, or transfomers. It doesn't seem annoying. The player wants to explore but in order to explore he/she needs to keep all the infrastructure in good condition.

The game in its current state can already give a good experience.

I especially want to talk about the atmosphere of the game. Starting from the tutorial the player can notice that there is something wrong here. When you start the story mode you will notice more details and you will have suspicions. An observant player will realize this when he/she first explores the lab. There will be a feeling that something is wrong, but the player will always miss something, as if there is some important thing here but not enough to make a final conclusion.

You've already done a lot of work and you've done it wonderfully. I want to see what the game will be like on release and what will be added to it in the future. Thank you for your project!

Add a grid to the wall map, the digital map can be replaced with a tablet, it is also worth adding a grid to the digital map, so it is easier to determine the sector where movement was noticed on the radar, and in general it is easier to navigate. I also want to have a zoom function on the radar

So far i love the new map, the basement and stairway is causing more anxiety than id like to admit.

Also that locker scare almost gave me a heart attack, god damn.

There are quite a few posts here, so I can repeat someone's idea, sorry. 

How about putting some cameras on the base from the start of the game? Install a pair on both floors and one on the street just so the player understands how they work. It would be fair to make them non-detachable from the walls (well, if possible) and give them different picture quality

There is one disabled camera from the start of the game near the main entrance with bad quality that you can enable, just noone notices that it is there until they will want to put a new camera in the same place. You can even see this camera on the radar

(+1)

Yes, I found it just yesterday! It's just a pity that it has such a bad quality, I can't see anything. The video quality, as for me, should be better and we need some more cameras inside the base. 

By the way, cameras work a little inconveniently in the sense that they do not appear in the camera list if they are disabled. I wish this could be fixed as soon as possible...

Нашёл дырку в полу, слева от двери, на втором скриншоте наглядно показано место. В принципе ничего такого страшного но выбраться от сюда невозможно.
I found a hole in the floor, to the left of the door, the second screenshot clearly shows the place. In principle, it's nothing so terrible, but it's impossible to get out of here.

Oh, I have an idea about a tool that can repair cracks and damage on the wall and floors in the base in the base. unless of course this already exists.

I saved after processing the ''the end is near'' signal to lvl 3, do I really have to start from 0 because of that?

just delete everything related to the signal

(2 edits)

I did, erased the signal from the drive, destroyed the drive, checked the saved signals on the pc to make sure isnt there either but still got the ending. I saw someone on reddit saying that once you process the signal to lvl 3 there is no going back no matter what you do so wanted to double check by asking here.
Edit: I actually tried doing it again and this time I did get the message saying ''G O O D'' wich means I avoided the ending. I dont really know what I missed the first time but yeah, procress lvl doesnt matter, saying in case anyone with the same problem/doubt ends here.

(+1)

I love the concept though I think that the amount of information to be dumped on the player all at once can be a bit overwhelming to some people, me included.  I left a suggestion in the last few minutes of the video that I think would make the process of learning all the mechanics flow a bit better for when the game is completed. Loads of potential here though, that's for sure, I'm a huge fan of anything space related, so I love the idea of scanning for mysterious messages and decoding them.  I'll leave my video here in case you wish to either watch me fumble with the mechanics for an embarrassing amount of time or simply to hear my thoughts and suggestions at the end of the video.

Привет, у меня проблема, в меню да и в самом игровом процессе съезжает меню, не само мень но приходиться водить по всему экрану чтоб найти нужную кнопку. / Hi, I have a problem, in the menu and in the gameplay itself, the menu slides down, not by itself, but I have to drive all over the screen to find the right button.

I have two questions. how to climb with a grappling hook, and how to insert a video into the plasma?

(+1)

scroll wheel to grapple with the hook I'm pretty sure, and to insert a video to the tv you need to put the file into the assets folder in the game's appdata directory I'm pretty sure. if it's not in appdata it might just be in the place all of the files you extracted are

first time player here

Overall a very fun game and I hope the rumors that you plan to quit working on it are not true as for bugs I can only think of 3 bugs I have ran into on

1. There is a unknown signal I can't seem to process to level 3? everytime I try the signal gets deleted?

2. the first kurfur  I got despawned or something on the radar it says it is a little bit north of me anyway got a new kurfus and he has yet to desspawn

3 And lastly kurfur will not fix one of the servers in the base. My guess is something in the code makes it so he does not "see" the server so it's like it is not there.

anyway i'm on 7.00010 I think you may have a update past this but worried I will screw up my save if i update

(+1)

could you increase  the spawnrate of crystals in the cave, i spent like 3 hours just to get 4.

the breaker might be off? idk might be a bug but it's worth checking if you haven't already

Everything else seems to work fine its only the computer used to search for signals that is pure black, I'm on Day 36, I've had a bunch of different events happen but Im assuming its just some sorta bug still trying to find a fix lol.. 

First time trying Voices of the Void and this has been amazing so far! I love all the events especially the one with Arirals leaving food for me. Would it be possible to share shrimp pizza with Arirals in the future? :)

For some reason Dr.Bao's replies to receiving unusual signals doesnt seem  to work - the email messages are just blank

in my opinion, I think the game, even if unfinished, is more than ready for a steam early access release.

perhaps the reason you haven't uploaded it to steam yet is because you don't want it to be too well known before it's even more complete, but honestly I think it'll be very well received.

i love the new base but id love a way to patch up the walls, clean some of the stuff that cant be cleaned right now, like the bloodstain in breakroom and the windows, and lastly be able to repaint the murals or something. even if its just a upgrade bought in the pc or whole new mechanics built around it

I know there's a digital version but early in the game it would be nice to just have a paper map that I can hold in my hand.  I eventually realized to use the compass target but I often forget where I'm going or what is around me so having a paper map as a reference would be cool I think.  The paper map doesn't have to do anything fancy just gives the player the opportunity to do compass/map orienteering.

Oh and to touch on a point made by NiCOVER a few posts ago, I also work in research and in field experiment sites.  Maybe a day or two after learning the controls and the game loop I really felt like I was back in the lab fixing equipment and having to prioritize my tasks to maintain experiments but also prepare for upcoming ones all while putting out "fires" whenever things break or malfunction.  I've never played a game that encapsulated this feeling and also make it fun.

I absolutely love this game. I have sunk hours and hours into it and have deliberately avoided looking anything up. I got my friend to play it and was immediately delighted by the way she had a completely different experience, based on getting different (I am assuming random) events and scares. The way we talk about the game is like we're two people working the same haunted job miles away from each other, discussing our findings, giving tips to stay safe, and checking in to ask the other "was that always like this?" etc. Lovely. 

I have but one simple request.

Please please PLEASE add a setting to keep the game from automatically muting whenever the window is unfocused. I love the in-game TV and radio, but this makes it almost impossible to use them.

Thank you.

While the digital map can be handy to use it you still need to get off the atv to take a peek,

Something like a Compass that can be equipped to simply show X and Y coordinates while driving would be of great help, specially if you want to chase a dot on the radar based only in coordinates on the fly

"Эти пещеры апдейта просят!" 

 Доброго времени суток. На тему версии 0.7, была добавлена отдельная локация с системами пещер, где собственно добываются материалы для создания радиоактивной капсулы. Если говорить вкратце, локация ужас и лучше бы я туда не лез. Рассказываю по подробнее, в чем заключается проблема данной локации.  Подготовившись к вылазке, начал исследование пещер, что они из себя представляют? Рандомно сгенерированные каменистые коридоры с развилками, подъёмами и спусками. Тут начинаются проблемы. Склонистые пути бывают двух видов: 1) Которые адекватно уходят под углом примерно в 40°; 2) Которые уходят под 90°. Проблема в том, что такие склоны бывают чуть ли не за километр. Теперь представьте, единственный путь добраться до заветного кристалла (кристаллы к слову, и есть те самые радиоактивные материалы), вам нужно пройти через ДЛИННЕЙШИЙ обрыв, выжить, а затем подняться обратно с помощью своего никчёмного крюка. А если вы не достаточно ловок, то вы с вашим крюком благополучно улетите вниз и разобьётесь. В другом случае, потеряете крюк, и останетесь там навечно. Суть надеюсь уловлена, по крутому склону очень трудно подниматься, а таких склонов вы встретите десятки. 

 И фиг бы с ними, но проблема заключается еще в другом факторе. Чтобы найти радиоактивный кристалл, нужно спуститься в саму преисподнюю, за километры вниз от места выхода из пещеры. И догадайтесь, как туда спуститься? По десяткам обрывам, а потом по ним же подняться к выходу, а я как понимаю, реактивный ранец еще не придумали. По этому, дело это займет не мало часов. Лично у меня за 5 часов попыток добычи этих кристаллов, увенчались с десяток другой откатов на сейв до входа в пещеру, и с разрывом моего мужского очага. Лучше сами попробуйте и узнайте, какого это.

 При всем уважении, может это так и было задумано разработчиком, но как по мне, уж слишком сильно нужно жопу разорвать ради радиоактивных материалов. Легче переслать по почте радиоактивную капсулу с прошлой версии, чем лезть в бездну, хоть я не сторонник такого действия.

i've been playing for like 9 hours, i haven't seen any entity, why is that?

i keep having the problem of corded items i buy spawning in with their plugs stuck in the ground. so a toggle button for all of them like kerfur has would be really helpful. my coffee machine is unusable because i can't reset its cord. :(

i would also really like to be able to turn off the warning screen when the game boots up. like, a checkbox in settings or something. just kind of annoying having to skip it every time i boot up the game, but not a huge deal.

(+1)

There is an interaction spot that retracts the plug. Check rear side of the coffee machine, it's somewhere near it's bottom. Warning message - VoidMod. (manual installation)

I think there should be a way to rename planets before saving them. Because planets of level-0 cannot be renamed, as they need to be saved first, but when saving, they become a copy file that can’t be put in a box.

(1 edit)

I found a way around by saving lvl 0 signal on to computer then renaming it, after you rename it to what ever you want just save again (make a copy) and after making a copy of it just process it to lvl1,2 or 3, and here you go it wont be recognized as a copy now. 

(2 edits)

i have a idea about game how about do you want exit? button from game to menu because i some time forget save my game.

I’m really enjoying the game but I have a disability and find the server fixing mechanic a blocker for the gameplay loop. I saw in older versions that the server puzzle wasn’t timed and I was wondering if there could be option to go back to that as an accessibility/difficulty feature. Also an option for UI scaling of the HUD and terminals would be nice :)

(+1)

Timer when fixing servers doesn't do anything except gives you additional 10 points when solving the math puzzle faster than your previous time, it doesn't limit your time to fix it

and that means you get more rewards for actually getting better if you really struggle with it at first :)

Your character refusing to eat something they've eaten a lot of previously is neat, but becomes extremely un-fun when you're away from your base and starving to death, I've basically soft-locked myself like this.

(+1)

You can disable food tolerance in settings in 'E' tab

not sure if this is a bug or something i'm not getting, but every time i play the new release, i'll eventually reach a point where things get set into "event mode" (can't sleep or pause), but nothing seems to happen. i don't see anything on the radar, i don't hear anything out of the ordinary, i don't spot anything going on outside; i just can't sleep or pause anymore, and it doesn't go away until i quit the game.
is there something particular i'm not seeing, or that i'm supposed to do or look for? or is the game not causing an event to happen when it should?

That is because you play on Easy++ difficulty, set it to Normal and you will get 3 satellites and more drives in daily task

Very unique view of horror games. Really love the concept of slowly changing routine, when player slowly adapt to some things and events and environment constantly changing, keeping to freak the player out. Somehow reminds me PT: feels almost the same game concept. I'm pretty indifferent to horrors, but this piece got a goosebumps on me!

However, should confess that I dropped it on almost half of the storyline. As a player I have problems managing time for a game sessions. Usually I give 1 hour a day for gaming, which is I guess normal for everyone, who doesn't have a tones of time. But this one requires at least 2-3 and even more to dive deeper in experience. Within one hour there might happen almost nothing and I lost my interest quite fast. That's not what I would except from a horror game, it mostly feels like sandbox? Actually the first 10+ game hours felt like that... I don't know. Maybe there's a point for major changes of some concepts, at least to review and refine the beginning gameplay and, if it's possible yet, to fit experience for a bit shorter game sessions as described.

And a minor thing. I actually love a trick when you cannot hit the pause during the events. I lost my sht when saw something suddenly approaching me on radar and couldn't stop the game. But... It was really bruh during the "Bad Sun" event. Had to wait the whole day just to stop game. This is quite unfair and cruel in my view...

But these are just very few things and it's still playable and enjoyable, considering the current raw state of the game. Would be glad to participate in development tho.

I thought of something it could be added: a screaming entity, an entity that would apear at random in the forest at night and would make a loud scream ( a scary one) that you could hear even from the base, the entity would walk around at night and if see the player would chase him very fast and scream on hes face very loud causing him to ragdool and not be able to get up for 5 ingame minutes making the player vulnerable to whatever is nearby, then the entity would dissapear and apear any other night. (Screaming lady) it would be a kinda disfigured old lady with very long hair that when she screams the hair spikes up like a monster, and she would move very fast when she sees the player, she would move as fast as the ATV, and even sometimes if you are unlucky she would spawn inside the base, the only way to escape her attack would be to stay still without any noise or light with you on, coz she only see movement, light and hear your footsteps. then once you see that she is far away you crouch away slowly to get away from her. I think that would make the game at least 50X scarier. Also you would have a low chanse of finding a signal with a image distorded of her face and that would make her spawn.

mrdrnose, I have some ideas for your game. I really enjoy it btw.

My ideas is: 

1 ) portable radar and portable camera monitor (You can do it so that if the tower goes offline then radar/camera monitor don't work, and back to normal as you repair the tower.  ) Can be bought in store 

2) some sort of jetpack for story mode, it consumes gas, but has height limit, and slow speed (like walking) can be craftable more strong, long-working and fast version (like omega kerfur) and "stock" one, can be bought in store 

Its all for now, maybe i update my ideas later 


(Update of ideas):

3) Pet ariral (After the event and the egg under the door, the player could have the opportunity to grow it into pet ariral using a new item - an incubator)

4) an incubator (can be bought through the store, needs power from socket to work)

5) trash - gas converter (can be crafted with kerfus parts and other materials, converts trash (full trash bags) to gas cans for generator/ATW. Needs power from socket to work)

6) Easter egg "Joel's anti-alien alarm" signal. May appear randomly and spawn some angry ariral entity around base if it be sent to headquarters, because they play it and arirals get mad at player for it. Its gonna be fun 

A handheld radar is an already existing item in the game, just not in story mode yet.

Please.

Add to the radar the ability to represent the position of objects in polar coordinates (data center, take as the intersection of axes), arguments: tired of finding the direction to objects using a protractor. You can add a compass with azimuth calibration in the store. Please add a grid to the existing map view (including on the radar) to divide it into sectors for better positioning.

I'd say that the game is coming along quite well, I adore the new events added with the update and was thoroughly spooked or startled by a good number of them! As for ideas I have... I sort of caught myself thinking about something seen in the tutorial; There's the bottles on the table, perhaps we could have dr. kel have themselves a 'harder' drink considering how stressful it is to be left alone out in the mountains?

Outside of that; I don't find the damage system too annoying, makes me more careful maneuvering around as I'm quite prone to violently impacting the dirt in most games I play. The new base is quite a lovely change as well! Everything included. Everything. The personality of it is quite fantastic! The murals, the little scrawlings, the kitchen, the breakroom- everything! It feels more 'homely' than the previous four-room base, but also more dreadful at the same time considering some choices made in it's design. I cannot wait to see what you have planned for future updates!

I read all 150 posts and it inspired these ideas:

Possibility to move the refrigerator and bed using Omega Kerfus. You tie it with a rope, the omega runs back and the bed comes off.

Radar on a portable map.

Somewhere to the side of the gate I saw a wooden tower, I tried to climb on it, but the map didn’t allow it. it would be cool if you could climb on it.

Consequences of constant coffee consumption.

Allow kerfus to enter their own passwords.

A special control panel of your drone with a camera and the ability to control it at least with arrows.

Mushroom hydroponics.

Add "Run Home" to Kerfus' capabilities. This can be used in conjunction with a chair - give her a chair, sit on it and tell her to run home. OmegaTaxi)

Let some letters or something else arrive in your mailbox sometimes.

The "Disable disabling pause during events" setting.

Change the computer to turn on. It turns off too often. Let the monitor only be used and the computer will need to be turned on using the system unit.

Add an mp3 player so that you can turn on music while you are running somewhere, headphones for them that will drown out background sounds (And you will be afraid that you will not hear something important).

I hope the translator didn't make any mistakes :(

(+2)

some of these exist!
You can see beacons you've placed on the portable map, (and radar, and the atv compass bar)l I do agree there should be an (expensive!) module to see the radar pings on the digital map though, or maybe make the map use a battery and more of it the farther from base you are

Eating lots of caffeine makes you get hungry and tired very quickly

You can grow mushrooms by crafting them into fish bait, and using their pieces on farm pots (not normal plant pots)

The mailbox actually serves a purpose; It's how you get items between saves and save resets, It has a continuous inventory!

And finally, you can give omega kerfus a radio, and it will play while they hold it :)

I drink a lot of coffee and don’t notice a strong effect, I meant some kind of (spoiler) monsters like if the stamina is low? or the same monster that takes you into a nightmare if you haven't slept for too long.

By the way, I knew about the radio that I could give it to her, but I forgot xd. I didn’t know the rest, thanks! By the way, I noticed one consequence from coffee - camera shaking.

This is my favorite game at the moment!

It would be great if it was possible to combine a digital card and an quad bike. Due to the inconvenience of using the map on an quad bike, I travel only on foot.

you can my friend, you just have to get crafty :)
also you can place and activate beacons at places you want to come back to, and they'll show up on the little black bar at bottom of your screen on the quad bike, the radar, and the digital map!

Kerfus version with ariral plush 

Очень крутая игра, интересное совмещение хоррора и симулятора. По поводу багов и улучшений:
1. Хотелось бы улучшить ИИ и проходимость омега керфура. Он далеко не всегда может пройти в комнату трансформатора и тупо крутится у входа не понимая что ему делать. Так же было бы круто увидеть у него возможность открыть двери с паролями и закрывать их за собой.
2. Было бы круто если бы керфурО можно было отправить чинить все трансформаторы не только когда они ломаются в 0, то есть просто отправить его перезагрузить все трансформаторы, чтобы свет не выключался в самый ответственный момент.

В остальном всё отлично, больше багов и недочётов я не заметил.

Bugs:

  • Camera tilt does not update while using terminal (stays stuck tilted instead of returning to center)
  • Transformer building blocks the noise from the transformer almost completely unless the player has a line of sight to the transformer's button, causing the noise to cut in and out abruptly when moving past the doorway.
  • Disabling 'Props impact physics' makes prop impacts have no sound

Suggestions:

  • UI scaling (inventory especially is too small on my screen)
  • Show item name when looking at it
  • Show item durability when looking at it
  • Add 'item name' column to inventory
  • Drag to reorder inventory
  • Make crates easier to break (large crate takes 34 hits with a hammer (!))
  • Stomach rumbling sound when hungry
  • Yawning sound when tired

yes super yes to the last 2, I want to be able to play with UI off for recording, and in the same vein I would like a cheapo compass item (just points north, nothing else) and add points balance + balance after purchase to the store checkout 

The crowbar is for breaking stuff, the hammer is there for a cheap solution.

Automatic lighting suggestion.
What about create the tool that allows set turn on/turn off timers for electric light sources. Can save time from running all over the base if you don't need light during daytime, and also less number of active light sources can decrease resource usage for low/medium-end PCs.

Wish it had 16:10 Aspect Ratio support. (1920x1200 is my screen resolution and its 16:10 and the game only has 16:9)


 [this is just to recommend adding support for non 16:9 ratio monitors.]

Just add your resolution to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VotV\Assets\res.txt

If there is no Assets folder then launch the game as administrator and it will create it

Loving the new base. It really nails the feeling of an old government/research building that's seen better days. Not sure if this has been touched on already, but now with the expanded base, parking lot, etc., the area around it feels a little too small. Looking at the bridge, road, and tight space around the base feels like there's no way you'd be able to get a car in there to park it, let alone a truck to use the loading dock. Maybe this is already going to be addressed in the future, but I also think that adding an actual paved road (even broken or in disrepair) from the checkpoint entry up to the base and making it pass over a larger bridge would add to the 'immersion' of being in a place that was once heavily used but is now almost abandoned.

Also, I had the thought that it would be freaky as hell if you were returning to your base or walking around outside it and suddenly could see someone who looks like you standing in a window or sitting in your chair... like a doppelganger type thing.

Great game! The atmosphere and sandboxy gameplay are top notch.

I assume a large scale map rework is coming down the pipes eventually with the new base and new(ish...) tree meshes we've seen

You can add the function of drawing on the map using a pencil.

(-2)

love the update, very interested in the watchtower outside the map, gives firewatch vibes. may be interesting to introduce another character that lives in the watchtower, that you have to deliver supplies to once a week. maybe you never meet them as they're out whenever you deliver, but you talk via email. they could introduce a new event line with eerie vibes. maybe they go missing and you can take over their duties, earning income for reporting observations. then you can find out what happened to them

a cool addition to the game would be different colored string. maybe green, yellow, and blue?

Make shrimp foods in general valid for rep and theft (pizza and soda, not sure what else there is)

I found a bug

One of my cameras near the cave turned off by itself (i know thats intentional), but when i went to enable it again i was unable to interact with it in any way. It didnt have collisions either and basically the camera is not usable anymore.

(1 edit)

There seems to be some issues with the lighting? In the bedroom/kitchen you can see some light coming through the wall from a first floor room coming in, this happens with other rooms as well, like the break room. The problem seems to go away when you turn up the shadows quality in the settings, but it also makes the game drop a good 30 to 20 frames while in the base, but that's only when in the base, leaving the base it works fine, maybe only losing like a few frames,  its the worse in the main hallways and the bedroom, idk if it's cause my set up isn't good enough or if its a weird problem  (I play on a MSI laptop with a 2070 super graphics card, I think that's at least decent? but i'm not really smart when it comes to computers so idk.)

hi, im a chinese fan of your game! how can i contact you devs, i want to do chinese translate for your wonderful game!

There are many objects that have the Hold option but cannot be held.

I assume there's something about the game that makes removing it really annoying or maybe even impossible, so instead Dr. Kel should be able to lift weights and take illegal supplements until he is swole enough to Hold these objects.

This game is very special and I like it. I can see a very good part of sandbox, work simulator and Ariral dating sim, so I look forward to development of this aspects of the game. But I also understand that most of the people like the spooky part, which I am not a big fan of.  To solve this interest conflicts I would like to see more difficulty settings instead of story/infinite/peaceful game modes. There are a lot of good story mode events connected to Arirals which i don't want to skip. I also don't like to hurry, so I made my ingame day length 2x and very happy about it. current difficulty settings does not let you to manage your work amount, survival feature difficulty and frequency of different types of events separately which is not very good for me. Maybe I want to play hardcore survival(in the way of food consumption) work simulator, or change my game experience to the endless barricading against huge amounts of entities. Or I completely don't want their existence next to me and just want to endlessly feed my Ariral friends(or wives) with shrimps. (Also it would be a big loss if they will leave us alone on this base).

I very appreciate your work at balancing all of this aspects in this complex simulator. To not make it insignificant there are need to be basic presets for the best experience but it is always awesome when you can play a sandbox game in the way you personally want to.

In current state this game nearly ideal for me, but some future additions can completely ruin it for me(like if there will be some really dangerous creatures which you cant resist e.t.c), so I'm very interested in fine tuning my game experience in the way I want.

I had to eat a rotten deer to get rid of the ghost XD

I think... uhhh... alien??



but seriously, the base looks REALLY good. Major improvement. The only issue I have is that it's a little too big for comfort, and I don't like the idea of having locked doors in my own house...
Besides that the textures look SUPER nice and it adds a ton more lore just by looking at it. :D

I think a nice addition would be that when wearing the night vision goggles, the number of visible stars in the night sky would increase by an order of magnitude. Not only is this realistic, but would encourage the goggles use at night.

My game is overheating my PC (Not laptop) and when I'm tries to save progress, it's literally shutdowns my PC due to overheating.

Ventilators can't handle the game's overheat.

(+1)

if turning down settings doesn't help there is unfortunately not much you can do, the game is still very unoptimized being a pre-alpha with one actual engine dev stretched very thin already.

was the gravity ariral event removed?

I believe it's tied to the reputation now. If you raise it too fast like I did you'll have almost no events until [REDACTED] arrive, since most of the past ariral events are tied to negative rep now, at least judging from my and my friends' experience.  For example I didn't even get the blue lights. 

will the event occur if I lower my rep or will it just not happen since I'm already past the day its supposed to happen?

SPOILERS ahead

Something seems to be wrong with the frequency of the unique signals in the latest patch. In 6.0 I managed to filll the entire gallery in about 35 days, in 7.0  I only got about ten unique signals in 45 days.  It was all asteroids and planetoids filler signals. My friends had the same issue. Not a single one of them got the Evil, even though I was sure it's scripted to apper during day 30, which is a massive shame since collecting the bits of its story is one of the best experiences I had in this game.

Great work with the new base though, I love it! I hope there will be some events with the creepy coldroom in the future. 

Watched the progression of the game via some Youtube folks, and playing the current version was a thrilling experience. It's not often a game thoroughly hooks me like this, which makes the way my game ended feel rather anticlimactic. I ended up getting something that would lead to an ending, the one that has a strict time limit to defuse? But I wasn't aware of what this was and had saved after that time limit had started. This has led to the save effectively being bricked, and whilst I know I can reset all events and objects on the file screen, it seems like an odd outlier compared to most events where pausing and saving is disabled. Which I guess would lend to the effect this event's meant to give, but it's rather unsatisfying having a Day 43 save lose a bunch of progress because an actually-dangerous event ended up locked-in.

One particularly annoying incident isn't going to totally dampen my interests, however, and I'm looking forward to where development will go from here.

if it is the bad signal, simply delete all evidence of it; you can an email that hints at this but its the only hint
there is no true game-overs yet, but minor softlocking is possible; this one should be fine, however
other softlocks can be resolved with the different reset options for the save

Yeahhh that's the thing - I may have dawdled prior to saving after seeing the signal because it caught me by surprise, and only after I had three separate friends go "the consequences!!!" did I try to wipe it. And I did try, but I think I dawdled too long, because I tried speed-running the process (wipe signal on PC, remove signal from tape, smash tape to pieces, turn off all the power, put PC into 43-foot hole in ground, bury under rocks and boulders etc etc) but I never got the follow-up saying "gj bud". My main suggestion I guess would be to give that an event flag so you can't pause or save after processing the signal, same as with the other spooky moments.

I just want you to know I've been ranting nonstop to my friends about how perfect this game is.

I'm a weirdo who mods Skyrim until it turns into "camping in the woods freezing to death" simulator - who grew up playing 'House' in videogames that absolutely were not designed to play 'House' (hoarding bananas like food in the og Mario Kart 64) - who craves an immersive sim that really scratches that itch. And boy, does this do that.

The mechanics to clean up and decorate the base make me giddy, dragging a bucket of water and a sponge only to spill the water halfway down the hall. I lost my shit when I realized I could not only microwave my food (in a working microwave with a rotating platter!), but I could accidentally over-microwave my food and burn myself trying to eat it. I saw an entity on the radar and turned to sprint towards the door to go chase it down, and tripped over a drive box I'd thoughtlessly left on the floor.

There's magic in this game, and I hope you know we see it. Not just the cool alien shit, but every detail you've no doubt spent countless hours implementing and perfecting. Thank you for all your hard work, and I look forward to whatever you've got planned for the future.

I dare call this game an immersive sim.  I adore everything you've all done with it so far, there's so much I have to rave about.

>> Lots of spoilers though for anyone reading. <<

You have a real skill for making things so grand and awesome, Pyramid was an amazing sight and the Golden Wisps felt like such a threat that I coddled myself and all my most important belongings up in the bedroom, just listening to the radio and watching the stars until things blew over, and all of that culminating in Pyramid's appearance made it feel like the valley forest was rid of an evil, especially from the max reputation gift. Your worldbuilding is top-notch, it's so subtle yet so vast, it makes you think, "What else could be out there?" "Are these two planning a resistance?" "How did these frankly very marketable plushie collectables get where they are?" It's amazing. The silliness of the game is also wonderful, I can imagine Dr. Kellen being the protagonist in a chronological animated comedy horror series, tripping over things while running for his life from nothing one moment, then sitting at his desk wide eyed while listening to horrifying processed signals, holding onto his Ariral plushies the next.

This is in pre-alpha 0.7.0 and is Name Your Price. I so badly regret not having a credit card yet, I'd gladly pay for this wonderful experience of a game. You've gone above and beyond with this so far and I cannot wait one bit to see how the forest shapes up through development. Now onto actual ideas, the reputation system is wonderful and I hope it'll be expanded upon in the future. 

Maybe some sort of event where, at max reputation, an Ariral directly uncloaks near and hugs the player while at their desk or doing something specific, catching them off guard with a delightful scare while they're busy. If you plan on giving the Rozitals the Rep system, maybe they could send the little guard bots to your base to scout for you, and you have to hide inside and put things like curtains over your windows so you can keep working. - By the way, Esraniki's gift made me feel so warm, and now I just love the Arirals even more. 

Small side bits, I played this with day length increased to 128%, I think it'd be a wonderful idea to finish that. I also experienced a large decrease in frames when in the new base, then again this build is highly experimental to my knowledge. That being said the new base is something you warm up to, which I think is the best way it could be handled for this game.

What if you leaned into the coziness of the game a bit, adding a blanket for the player to wrap up in, maybe a hot cocoa bag for the coffee maker. And this is a huge reaching idea - I can't believe this game is still in pre-alpha - but maybe a seasonal system, I take this game takes place in a northern forested area, so I think it'd make sense for winter snow. Maybe upgrades to the ATV to add a snow plough, a rake reskin for the broom to rake up leaves into piles like the trash balls so you can dive into them and break a fall.

I do hope development carries on well for everyone, and be careful with your scope on things. Demotivation is the worst.

Lots of forum posts with people struggling to free items and garbage and such stuck in weird places... perhaps there is an opportunity to add a new item to help that doesn't feel cheaty? Perhaps an object/small item that you can steal from the arirals that will warp everything (furniture, objects, even entities like kerfus) in a small radius around it back to their treehouse a few meters off the ground? And it would also give a better way handle the stolen objects from arirals instantly teleporting back to their base- after kicking your teeth in, they would use the warp item to teleport their stolen stuff and anything of yours unfortunate enough to be around it back to their treehouse?

Definitely technically complicated but I feel it would help a lot with the FAQs about this stuff and save object resetting (yikes)/fetching items to stuff in the mailbox killing the vibe

CONTAINS SPOILERS

This is my first time playing, and I've only experienced the game prior through watching twitch streams on day ~30ish prior to this update. I played until day 50. I mention a few times about looking up secrets. The secrets I looked up were how to enter the dark hole in the cave, how to enter the bunker, and places to dig up items like the EMF detector. I do feel like I cheated with the EMF reader, since it's right next to a POI, which I could have found without a guide had I more patience, and I probably would have found the keycard had I put more effort into investigating the bunker.

I enjoyed the game a lot.  Discovering secrets was really fun and satisfying when there was some indication that a spot HAD a secret. It felt like putting a puzzle together.  You have really good game design intuition and it shows through how addicted I was to the game. There was a few moments where I just stared at my screen in disbelief because of how well some events just flowed into the game.

Observations and feedback and incoherent brain dump about the game:

  • The rep system is very powerful when you're at "Loyal", and I'd do my best to max it out asap if I was using the food decay and tolerance system. Would like to see some advantages and events that aren't just getting free food. Maybe make the rep scale non-linearly so it's easier to increase at low rep and harder to increase at high rep, since if you know what you're doing, you can max it out in a day.
  • I bought the wall fixer thinking that I could use it to remove the cracks on the walls and floors of the base, which wasn't actually the case. Hopefully I can remove them in the future. There's also some non-removable grime on the base that I hope to be able to remove too.
  • I built a gpu miner with 3 fans and many GPUs and it eventually overheated. I heard the explosions but didn't think anything of them since I've never heard it explode before and the puffballs make the same sound. Definitely my own fault for letting 8+ consecutive explosions go uninvestigated. I don't really understand why the fans exploded too though, it seems a bit punishing to lose everything but the rack when you overheat, since they both have large costs to obtain.
  • It seems like the secrets and hidden items of the game are 30% discoverable naturally through regular play and hints, and the rest are completely hidden and only findable through spending a ton of time testing obscure things. Is that intended to be how the game will eventually release? Or will more secrets have some sort of hint/indication for how to find them? I'm not saying to make all the giga obscure super secrets have hints, I'd  just rather not have to use a wiki to find half of what the game has to offer.
  • Omega Kerfur trivializes half the gameplay prior to obtaining it, absolutely massive and vital upgrade that really enables the player to explore more.  Maybe there should be some amount of maintenance or upkeep cost to having it? It's easy to get once you know the steps to do so, but I dont know if you're wanting to balance the game towards players having prior knowledge of stuff.  Also the petting animation being so slow and drawn out feels weird and not as fun as stock kerfur. I look forward to replaying on a later update and trying to get like 10 of them.
  • Kerfer pathfinding will get stuck on stuff I place in the hallways. If go to sleep and kerfur is set to patrol or return to me, it will smash into them and knock them over, which sucked when I had a hallway shelf holding all my tools.
  • It's hard to tell how damaged I am. 100%-50% HP have the same look to me, but maybe this isn't how health works and I misunderstand. HP in general is hard to gauge, but I never really had a problem with dying unless it was explicitly my fault.
  • I put like 10 cameras around my base, I finally caught an entity on one of them and was ecstatic. Would love to see more features involving cameras or other surveillance systems. Maybe an upgrade for a monitor dedicated to showing a cam-feed?
  • I played without the funny setting nearly the entire time. Having watched streamers, I knew about maxwell and argemwell, so I'd type it in the console and look for them. I didn't realize that it was a funny setting only thing, so because it didn't respond with an error message, I just assumed that the 'go find maxwell' text had been removed. I dont really understand the purpose of the funny setting, since even with it off, a lot of the events I got were pretty goofy in their own right. Maybe you should indicate what the funny setting does so people who come in expecting the streamer's experience arent missing events and features they want to see. The only reason I didnt turn on the funny setting was that I thought it'd ruin/replace the scary events, which isn't the case.
  • Going to the cave entrance and getting "I dont want to go in there" when I have my flashlight on, is sort of obtuse when the solution is just to be holding a light source. The only difference is that the flashlight is glued to Kel's head or whatever. I could just be unimaginative though, maybe add a baby idiot mode for people like me without a twitch chat to tell me everything.
  • The day length setting got me confused and I played a bit on 50% thinking that it'd be 50% the normal day's length, but it was actually double.
  • There is an entity on the southeast corner of the radar that moves in and out of radar range. If you have the noise alert and upgrade the radar speed too much, it will beep constantly when this entity is active because it's constantly detecting them go in and out of range rapidly. It still beeps constantly from this on slower radar speeds, but it's more tolerable.
  • I lost the night vision goggles in the middle of the forest and never found them. A feature that helped you find or replace lost items, especially the one-per-file items would be nice.
  • The metal detector is really weird to use, feels super inconsistent in a way that I dont know how to describe. I point it in a direction, get a white/green beep, go to that exact point on the ground, and it will be red and nothing buried.

Posting here instead of bugs as it's not really a bug, more a feature request.

Bloodstains can currently happen underwater, and don't seem to go away when it rains. Would be nice if rain/water affected stains outdoors, especially after the [REDACTED] event. I have so much cleaning to do...

maybe an option for a cleaner base on start would be nice. my OCD brain didnt play the actual game for the first few hours i just spent the whole time cleaning

After sinking an ungodly amount of hours into 0.7 I want to say that this version is amazing. The new base is at the peak of being comfy and unnerving at the same time for me. Has to do with those monotone concrete walls and murals all over the place. 

I do not know if the ATV is made to be so jumpy and prone to 180 degree turns at high speeds, but it seems to do so more than in 0.6.3 and before. The pressure washer is slower than the ultimate bucket+sponge, which is disappointing since I had to steal in from the space catgirls to test out (but maybe that is the point). Other than that, I think that a cheat or a tool in sandbox mode that cleans up all the trash at least inside the base is a must. I am somewhat tired of cleaning up this dump over three different save files just in this version alone. 

Otherwise, great stuff, devs! Can't wait for what you have stored for us next, both in gameplay and storywise. Been a while since I was this invested in a game.

P.S.: Looking out for an ariral ending in the finished game because of a certain reputation event ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

День добрый. Дай больше места холодильнику. Иногда с ним что-то происходит и он перестает нормально открываться. Как ни пытаюсь открыть дверь - она о что-то стучится(судя по звукам) и захлопывается обратно, из-за чего очень трудно что-то взять или положить. Предполагаю, что дело в нехватке места, из-за чего дверь стучится в стену справа от холодильника. 

Так же добавлю проблему чисто от себя: Играю на относительно слабом ноуте, поэтому все настройки выкручены на 0, а разрешение ставлю на 50-60 для хотя бы стабильных 20-25. Текст на экранах с таким разрешением, естественно, не видно. Но во время событий возможность паузы, а соответственно, и настроек заблокирована. И бывает такое, что не могу нормально разобрать текст письма/хэш-кода и прочее. Или наоборот - снизить разрешение для повышения ФПС. Такая вот личная проблема. 

Насчёт холодоса. Ты когда его часто закрываешь, он задвигается назад. А из за того, что он открывается в сторону стены, то пространства для двери там нет. Поэтому просто пододвинь холодильник на себя и всё пройдёт

when i download  the game and press launch it opens my files instead of running the game

Я не совсем понял твою проблему, но попробуй запустить её от имени администратора

Love this game. Start playing in this patch, Ariral's rly cute, feeding when i sleep. Kerfur is also сute, but also very useful. I can't say what was in the previous patches, and give a better feedback, but I will continue to follow the game, as I really liked it.

Heya! 

Currently playing the pre-alpha build , it appears i have completely lost my ATV. It does not show up on radar or reset.

Everytime i launch my save it says "No ATV detected. Respawn..." Yet it does nothing.

Anything i can do about this?

I was kind of frustrated to learn that the Backpack doesn't increase your inventory capacity, but just is a carry-able container. It would be nice if it just expanded your carry weight while equipped. Mainly because I keep forgetting that i'm wearing it.
