Eh, that's too bad. This game looks legitimately interesting but I just can't do the early access cycle again. Fucking cube world.

The game is worth trying but there is no way it will ever get finished. Its had roughly the same core content as it did 2 years ago.

I've seen people say most of the content added is random streamer stuff you need people to tell you where it is, is this true or can I go blind into the game and have "fun"?

Would you consider it in a complete state then? I just don't want to jump in to have the game pulled or fundamentally altered, or have them add new mechanics that ruin the core experience.

>is it complete?
no
>is it worth playing?
yes, nothing will fundamentally change.

The issues anons have with the game is that the core experience has been locked in for years now. With how the game works there is plenty to do and see before you reach day ~40 and then the game just abruptly ends with nothing to do. Fans (read: not discord sycophants) have been waiting for more shit to do in those last few days but the dev has been dragging his feet for years now with adding end game shit. Instead all the dev time goes to adding meme garbage for streamers and his discord instead of shit normal player will encounter and enjoy.

if you were to jump into it now, it's enough a game that you're going to have fun but it's barely changed in 10 years and if you backed the project you got scammed hard. They're adding dailies soon so it's becoming more like an MMO which is something nobody wants.

Like, fucking why? It's not realistic cause it goes down way too fast and keeps interrupting you.

>>739963256
This guy fucking gets it. In fact, since we're managing food, why not add a weight mechanic to boot? Characters who are eating all this food get fat. Let's add in a gym mechanic where you have to regularly work out.

>>739963423
The difference with that is the game doesn't punish you for not stopping to interact

>>739964963
Carrying around junk in your limited inventory is a "solution", but it's just kicking the bucket down the road. What if you forget the bring food? Or, even if you are ubermencsh remembers-everything, what happens when you're out exploring for too long and you run out? Or even just "getting too low" to move forward? Welp time to stop the entire game to a screeching halt and go buy more food then. The game? Nah fuck you you don't get to play it until you address this HYPER IMPORTANT aspect.

And for what? What does it even fucking add to the exploration and signal simulating? Literally the only thing it even adds in the horror aspect is the hallucinations. That's absolutely not worth it.
>>
>>739961737
Did you mean to say Day 49~ because when I got to around day 40, I started feeling like events were becoming too frequent. Then it abruptly runs out of things.
>>
>>739965419
Its annoying at first until you build habits that make it a non-issue. Shit like having a pile of MREs in your signal room and maxing out food before heading out seems obvious but it helps massively with not running out of hunger. Then you really only need a single MRE in your inventory in case of emergencies.
>>739965759
Iirc when it abruptly ends is kinda random. For me I would get tons of events day 30-40 then it all just abruptly stops too.

Hunger is meant to reinforce that Exploration is a reward for doing your job well and planning ahead.
Without it you blitz through the content too quickly, which while you could technically fix by compressing the amount of days for things to happen also then costs the atmosphere built up by its length.
In other words banality is good to make things meaningful, and if everything was meaningful all the time the feel of the work would be lost.

>>739966541
>Hunger is meant to reinforce that Exploration is a reward
Bull fucking shit, exploration is its own reward, I don't need fucking hunger mechanics to reinforce anything. The reward is not heightened in any capacity because the game forces me to stop exploring so I can interact with a survival mechanic that has no place being in here.

The really sad thing is that the game is based off of Signal Simulator, which had a perfect gameloop, but all of the events felt half baked and more like half-finished easter eggs as opposed to actual "content," and then the dev went AWOL. But it was great because the game was focused entirely on what it wanted you to do, which is simulate signal finding. Voices of the Void feels like the Dev is trying to shove minecraft into the game.

>>
>>739967098
I think the issue here is that you want to game to just be about something its only partly about.
The core of the game is the day to day loop of doing your job, which the hunger system reinforces and the exploration serves as a mid-late game mechanical break from.
The actual meat of the game is getting up in the morning, doing your daily chores, using the downtime and funds to clean up your base and get upgrades, then spending the evenings relaxing and getting signals with the occasional nighttime issue or event to liven up the gameplay experience and introduce tension.
And then once you have lightened your chore load via upgrades and settled into the banality of your job, then you start exploring to fill the time.
Meaningful exploration is "endgame" content for when you have mastered the core gameplay loop to keep you playing, not the primary focus.

What's more obnoxious is that he's trying to shove his goonerbait in the game without being too obvious because 100% of votv's audience comes from twitch streamers that bitch and moan about anything conventionally sexual

>>739968242
He's a Bulgarian dev living in Bulgaria which is well over a thousand kilometers from Ukraine, retard. Also he abandoned the game years before the war broke out.
>>
>>739968858
>I think the issue here is that you want to game to just be about something its only partly about.
Right, which is why 90% of the content in the game is shit you get when you hit on a signal or you explore outside, meanwhile you interact with the job portion of the game for like 2 minutes at a time then just wait, right?

Fuck off with your pseudo-intellectual youtube video essayist bullshit. Literally everything would change for the better if you just outright removed the hunger mechanic without fail. Some vocal retards might bitch and moan, but there's a reason we don't put pissing mechanics into every single game inspite of "how realistic!" it would be, and that's because it just gets in the way of everything and causes you to spend time other games are more than happy to just handwave away as "You just do this in the background."
>>
>>739968639
>went to work as a projectionist in a movie theater.
I'm legitimately surprised that's still even an actual job. I just kind of figured movie projectors were fully automated at this point or at the very least simplified to the point where any pizza face part time teenager could operate them.
>>
>>739969325
I didn't find the food stat to be an issue at all. Are you running around instead of using the ATV?
>>
>>739969325
Honestly the fact you're struggling with the hunger mechanic just tells me you suck shit at the game. It's basically a non issue as long as you're not retarded. Besides, grilling some fish and shrimp on the barby outside while you wait for a signal to finish processing is peak comfy.
>>
>>739969325
The existence of content does not inherently more it part of the core gameplay loop.
I can make a 100 pages of a lore codex for a Turn Based RPG you unlock mainly by exploring the map, but that's not the core gameplay.
The Hunger Mechanic serves to put a new player on the backfoot when they start the game and as I said before force them to slow down and experience the core gameplay loop before it gets simplified by upgrades and going into exploration proper.
And it is designed in such a way as to be trivial for more experienced players who already know what to do and it doesn't matter as much to maintain the games tone and atmosphere because they already have achieved a level fo mastery and know what they are in for.
Also I said exploration happens anyway, it fills the hole that base cleanup and upgrades serve at the start of the game once you get those sorted.

I suspect there's a lot of fags like you see in these threads telling him to get rid of the funny stuff and make it a "real" horror game, so he's been steadily removing stuff like the console commands or hiding it all behind the "funny" setting.

People bitching about VotV get angry at the weirdest stuff.
Like, the gameplay revolves around going OUTSIDE and people will go out of their way to not go outside as much as possible, and then get so mad they shit themselves over new gameplay elements getting added that make them go outside.
In fact almost every new gameplay element that has been added has caused people to bitch endlessly about it.

>>739977116
The game garnered a discord clique and discord clique's tend to be filled with mentally ill people who crave comfort above all else, and VotV is a game where its very easy to make your base comfy while the outside can often be dangerous, thus in the back of their minds these kinds get mad at having to go outside int he game.
And often IRL

My biggest gripe with voices is that there's not enough focus on signal finding or varied signals to find, so it doesn't do that good of a job of slowly building atmosphere so when something strange does happen it really has impact. The reward system for doing your job is also ass, so you're better off doing anything else besides looking for signals for money. It also doesn't help that when he does add new content, a lot of the time it's some hyper specific random bullshit you'd only ever know about from a guide or walk through rather than stumbling on yourself.
>>
>>739960235
it's an alpha game that made the russian creator a millionaire on patreon. what that usually means is it's in development until the money stops coming in. this is both a blessing and a curse. the game will obviously never be completed, but it will also be free and get updates constantly.

abiotic factor uses lumen for lighting, and is smart about light placement. votv takes fucking point lights that cast shadows and can be moved, the absolute most expensive light possible in unreal engine, and slams them into everything, ensuring they overlap 90 times with each other, nuking the frame rate from orbit.

Bring an MRE or two. Maybe a soda or coffee as well. Shit, I'd say that even adds to the exploration. A long expedition should require supplies and planning.

your moms a game about whatever that shit is you typed
fr though, I thought the main appeal of this game was the events, but it's main appeal is mundane day job simulator?
look at it this way, if I removed the the events would you still play the game?
if i removed managing your sims needs would you still play the game?

I got a dozen orange trees and they really don't feel worth the effort to pick them. Two baocoin farms hooked to the generator makes way more with no effort at all, apart from having to replug them every time I load the save.

Pumpkins also seem like the best plantable food since they don't need cooking and can get you into the mine.

Basically it's everyone who bought the game 15 years ago shitting on the devs because the devs are known for permabanning anyone who asks about NPCs or criticizes the game then throwing shitfits threatening to stop working on the game.

I find your question to be a false equivalence because needs are a single part of the greater doing your job aspect of the game that is the core gameplay loop, while the events are things that happen to shake up the core gameplay loop and are the "on the box selling point" of the game .One is part of a greater system and the other is an entire aspect of the game.
So while removing either would make the game worse the events are the selling point and ethos of the game while removing player needs would just detract from the moment to moment playing of the game but it would still be playable.

>>739987630
we're just disagreeing about what the core gameplay loop is,
I say it's hang out at base, find signal, go out and explore, with all the survival elements being needless busywork that gets in the way of that loop
you say it's the sims but with only one character
>>
>>739960235
the dev is making like 20 fucking thousand a month from the game's patreon. it will literally never be finished. why would you give up that money? just keep stringing donators along forever dripfeeding random updates
>>
>>739987780
That a fair assessment, to me the core loop is, wake up, do chores, do maintenance, find signals, deal with events that come to you or get in the way and things breaking as they come, sleep, repeat.
With the exploration being one of the things you do in the downtime between the other parts of that routine alongside stuff like cleaning up and decorating.
>>
>>739988164
have you tried the sims? it's got that same gameplay loop and i really enjoy it. only difference being instead of finding signals you can have your sim do a multitude of jobs with different events and random events like vampires, aliens, burglars, etc . you can even turn events off in some of them. sounds like it would appeal to you way better no offense. there's even way more furniture and you can build your own house any way you want it.

The game literally began with the name Signal Simulator: Ariral Edition. If anything it's less focused on them than it was originally.
>>
>>739988371
I actually have and it wasn't to my taste, I need some friction and goals that VotV gives me, plus I like the signal gameplay and the exploration during downtime. Plus the fantasy the game provides of chilling in the mountains working on all this machinery with a looming sense of danger for what's out there is a enjoyable feeling.
Have you tried Otter Wilds, its a fantastic exploration puzzle game about traveling from planet to planet in your ship and delving deeper into the mysteries of your solar system.
Its a legit shame I can only play it blind once, its that good.
Also I'm like 70% sure your taking the piss out of me but I'm still responding in good faith, seriously based upon what you say you like I think you would love Outer Wilds

That's not the fucking problem you twin headed behemoth idiot. I'm not having an "issue" with the food. It's not "difficult", and more importantly it's not interesting, but it IS disruptive to the shit I WANT to be doing. It's like imagine trying to play a game of chess, except every fourth move I come in and tell you that you have to stop the game to go water a plant. Like, yeah, dipshit. Watering the plant isn't difficult. But if you don't do it I'm going to start moving pieces, and if you CONTINUE to not do it, I'm gonna knock your board over. So stop thinking about the game you're playing and go water this plant. Is this fun? Is this adding to your game of chess?

>>739970284
>The existence of content does not inherently more it part of the core gameplay loop.
Then that fucking goes both ways for the fucking hunger mechanic. It's not the core gameplay loop, it's a disruptive element there that adds literally nothing.
>The Hunger Mechanic serves to put a new player on the backfoot when they start the game and as I said before force them to slow down and experience the core gameplay loop before it gets simplified by upgrades and going into exploration proper.
Except that's why the game is failing. You don't NEED the hunger mechanic to get this desired effect. You already get this from the economy of the game, the daily tasks, and the fact that the signals themselves unlock more of the content. The player is already on the backfoot enough as it is because of the sanity mechanic, the previously mentioned elements, and the fact that the machines are so slow and prone to failure.

What you're saying is like "Oh, there should be a disease mechanic in the game to set the player on the backfoot so they'll clean their base." They'll already fucking do that because they're on the backfoot from the base looking like shit.

>minecraft
It's the same cycle with so many indie games, the dev comes up with a unique concept, the primaries talk about the game and how excited they are for it, then secondaries come along and start throwing money at the guy to turn the game into a sim.
with minecraft the initial appeal, the gameplay loop if you will, was survive the night. you go out during the day, gather resources, build your base, then at night your base gets attacked. that was the game and it was fun as fuck. then suddenly a new fanbase came along and started demanding that it become farmville with extra steps.
if those guys had never existed, the game would have continued it's development path of being a survive the night game. we would have got new monsters, new weapons, new base buidling mechanics.
what we got was watering crops, like nilla please, please just go play farmville stop killing great games in the cradle because your life isn't stressful enough and you need to simulate poverty to feel alive.

You didn't even defeat the arguments in that post, you just proved it right. It's still a disruptive element. And no, it is definitely not a "long exploration" game to pretend that logistics are a thing, especially if you're just handwaving this away with "Oh just bring a soda" to end the problem; You're just highlighting the same exact problem.

>>739963073
>That's another one that looks good but I wonder what the deal is
My honest opinion as someone who basically avoided online and other players, the "It's Sims with Zombies" comparison runs way deeper than the fact that it artistically looks like the sims. Once you get to a point where you can consistently survive to like 3-5 days in and get the hang of the system, you slowly realize that you unironically got tricked into playing the sims, because there is NOTHING to do in the game except to live for the sake of living. You just decorate your house, get fit, cook food, and make a farm. Sounds like fun if you're really into Sims or into multiplayer, but honestly not for me.
>>

Cool, take care man.

not quite, spoilage and tolerance aren't JUST a number go down ticker.
you COULD probably find the tolerance list by setting it as unknown, eating something, looking for increase, repeat till you hit tolerance, and loop forever, the try with decrease, repeat.
but spoilage is per item.

but yeah, go ahead and turn off whatever, its a game, it doesn't actually matter.

i like to cheat in the first 100 points to get set up with the scanning.

sure i COULD farm up points selling trash for the hook, then drag the MRE barrel out and sell it off to get to the same point, but i've not done about 8 different versions of this game, and theres a minimum level i like to start at.

Decided to try out this PoS on a whim after having heard of it the past decade or so.
First few days pretty fun, getting to learn the gameloop, cleaning up, making the station (you)r's.
Day 22+ : Nothing is fucking happening, there's hippies making a treehouse but everything fucks off into the void whenever I get near. I have spent countless hours exploring, chasing red dots that just disappears whenever I get close. What's my incentive to go explore again?

All that has happened within those 22+ days is a weird fnaf creature walking around, a worm moved in and fucked off, and those Ariral faggots making their clubhouse.

Fuck this nigger """game""", waste of time. I love the concept, the execution is dogshit. Oh, here's a jumpscare! remember its a spook game! Haha! :D

So much this. Wake up, send tapes/drives, eat, check mail, order upgrades/stuff, destroy mannequins, check towers/transformers, send zip drive, scan, sleep loop is the core gameplay loop. Finding that loop is one of the pillars of the game experience, because at first you struggle with food, navigation, failing infrastructure, junk, night rides and batteries.

The Russian furfag and his barely disguised fetish of a video game only has any relevancy because of this guy and his pathological fear of gray aliens. The moment he goes full retard and he gets a full-blown fetish scene live on stream, he's memory holing the existence of this "game" and with it all of Dr. Nose's relevance will fade away.

And yes, cope all you want, Nose is dependent on Joel, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting in every one of his VotV streams and adding shit to the game based on what happened last stream just to personally fuck with him. Not to mention that he lost the plot of what VotV was meant to be years ago, where instead of replicating the desolate feel of Signal Simulator, he threw in everything including the kitchen sink resulting in some wacky fucky clownshow, including his retarded OC's that are cutesy alien catgirls that like eating shrimps. Because yeah, that's exactly what made Joel's Signal Simulator streams so funny and made him shit his pants so much. Definitely not a case of the dev shoehorning his fetishes into everyone's faces while utilizing Joel's streams as the launchpad.

>I wish I thought to take the water guns in earlier versions
I tried that but the process just failed and didn't transfer over in a usable form
it's not possible. You'll just have to get them in a regular playthrough and then start over
>>
>>740011452
One click cleans the exact spot you're aiming at and nothing else, the trick is to mash click all over. The megasponge is best but you have to wait longer for the event to get it.

>>740011518
I meant using it in previous versions, I've played for a while but only realized what they were most recently.
>>
>>740011697
Also that's just for windows, for wall dirt you can just hold once until it's gone, much better than the sponge because of their absurd range.

Cement on the other hand is much faster mash clicking than holding it.
>>
>>740011820
what do you do about floor dirt? The rug in the bedroom is filthy as fuck and the broom doesnt seem to have an effect

All you need is someone who isn't a psychofan of Joel and isn't a permanently online retard, to memory hole VotV and replicate Signal Simulator. The desolate atmosphere, the paranoid fear of something being there even though there isn't, none of this clown show everything including the kitchen sink bullshit, just a laser focus on SETI and grey aliens. That's all that was needed to get Joel to shit his pants and leave timeless comedy gold, Dr. Nose doesn't understand that though.

>>
>>740032978
You till the ground with a rake and plant a seed there. Plants have to either be near water or watered with a can or a sprinkler or it dies, including fully grown trees for some reason.
>>
>>739960235
You missed the time to start, it went to shit when he updated the base so find an old version with the old base and play that if you're interested.
>>
>>740032978
I just littered the riverside outside the garage with lemon trees
I have 40 trees and picking all the fruit daily takes a few hours of work
>>
>>740033205
Can a rake be found on site or does it have to be purchased?
>>
>>740033813
I don't think so. It's not cheap either. A rake, sprinkler, hose and faucet are like a thousand baobux total.
>>
>>740033813
I used a shovel, it works the same
you can find a shovel in one of the transformers, on the rafters
or on the guard booth where you initially spawn, but it requires a bit of parkour to get out and into the booth
>>
>>739994945
yeah, he adds all this bullshit for streamers, i dunno why he thinks doing everything but the signals is a good idea
>he won't port old events from the old base, he won't do it again with the latest map either
>barely any signals added, signals that have been added have no responses despite being the wackiest shit ever
>game forces you to do everything BUT signals just to be able to get ahead
and he'll probably update the map, again, and remove events that will be "updated" for the new map, only to not do it, again
or he'll waste time programming and putting in a secret easter egg that isn't related to the game at all and is infact some discord/streamer meme

Honestly, the game needs to unbind some of the events to specific dates.
Having shit like the wisps or Grey invasion last longer depending on difficulty, or lasting longer if an event goes undone after a certain date would do wonders for longevity.
>>
>>739959990
Biggest issue with this game is how half the mechanics can be disabled.
It makes people less likely to complain about the shit that actually needs to be balanced in favor of just turning said mechanics off.

Man is he gonna be in a shock when Joel memory holes him and VotV. Like, he's not dumb, he knows when enough is enough. When he did the Mario 64 with Chat stream, there were only two messages he didn't read out loud, and both were meant to make him say "trans rights". That's how he deals with shit he dislikes, he's silent about them. Chat messages he dislikes? Dead silence. Creators that overstep? Yeah, he's gonna memory hole Nose and ignore anyone reminding him of his existence in chat.
>>
>>740041184
I mean he's played it recently so he's not blacklisted him or the game or anything yet.

Yet. He keeps pushing the line since he's a permanently online autistic Russian that never goes outside since he's an autistic Russian. Dude doesn't understand social cues and has a serious parasocial relationship going on. Only a matter of time.
>>740041482
Yeah, another good moment of Joey knowing when to draw the line. There was one time where he got a little chuddy talking about the Swedish immigrant situation that was generally milquetoast but would be absolutely haram today. He's a smart guy under all the peepeepoopoo jokes.

The absolute crashout during that when he said the atmosphere and other elements where fun was crazy.

Ah the good old days. Wish some clips got preserved. He's done a good job not capitulating too much at least. Though both him and joel are long due for a chat clean out.

I wish it WAS closer to signal simulator. It started with so much promise but the grays he added are so far from the idea of the mysterious spooky gray alien that it took literally all the wind out of my sails for the game. Some of the other creatures are cool but it's mostly the mystery ones like the eyes in the black fog and shit.

>The moment he goes full retard and he gets a full-blown fetish scene live on stream, he's memory holing the existence of this "game" and with it all of Dr. Nose's relevance will fade away.

>>
>>740051682
It is explicitly not kickstarter which is why it exists. They're donations to the person for existing, not an investment with an obligatory return.

Patreon making automatic monthly subscriptions the only option should tell you their opinion on forever projects that make them endless money.
>>
>>740051876
YES that's the problem, it is morally wrong, why wasn't anyone pointed out how that's a issue? We literally have notorious cases like yandev, but people seen to give Patreon a pass for some reason, even though they are partially to blame
