I dont have discord(I dont like discord)... Do you have a txt somewhere with it? Pretty please?

I'm just mentioning how he needed to private these builds and not mix em up with the stable versions... As people would download it thinking it was new and people would be disappointed..

So after all that backlash... Nose finally did what it needed to be done
EDit: Any available changelogs?

he is ragebaiting dont mind him..
Old Hash sucked hard...
It completely destroyed the ''Flow'' of the game

Now this is more like it... This is a reasonable argument.

Updated Graphics Cards, Updated DirectX, Downloaded all VCC Redistributables, Lowered all the settings to minimum But it seems that your game is broken as The Latest version. Its always Fatal Error with it. Also It entirely bricks up my computer when it freezes on the Black screen? Whats up with that? Are you running malicious software in your game or something?
I see memory leaks and unoptimized Program Chugging the entire of my GPU for some reason.
Intel I5-14th gen,Intel ARC A380, 16GB of RAM, 1TB NVME SSD.

Or alternatively instead of making a coinsplosion just make it pickable in a single pack, or pickable by touch or to add it directly to your points balance....

Very soon, they are tackling the bugs and introducing new content, we are getting close to the Full release of the game.  Expect an almost finalized product.
The shadow test was just testing waters and potential bugs and unintended features.
Its not possible to give an actual date but, its pretty close 

I agree and I want to add a bit more to it too
If you are unsatisfied with where VotV is going, nothing is stopping you from making your own Voices of the Void.
Create and assemble all assets, Gather a team or some people to help if you want and voila you can create the VotV that you want.
What is stopping you?
If you can't do that well, Then act like most of us do.. Help with suggestions, ideas, bugfinding and bugfixing and let the dev cook his own vision for the game. Dont act like a spoiled,entitled brat and be respectful, kind and concise with your feedback(After all all feedback is appreciated when it actually does something positive for the community and the game itself) 

Hello Drnose... Can you make the game able to read .FLAC music files for the radio and stuff? or maybe OGG? Thanks in advance

Nah You kinda glazing OP Too. But I can see a gaslight a mile away.
While he wasn't a dick at first glance, we can see him gaslighting by mentioning: ''I was considering backing this game up but..'' my brother in christ, if you werent sold in the first 10 versions of the game then you are a broke ass and just wanted an excuse. Also using and creating unnecessary words like ''enshitfication''. Really necessary?
Irrelevant information but serves the purpose of his mental gymnastics to Garner people to his side
So, I feel its pretty valid that the guy above is being a dick. Fight Fire with fire and show the underhanded scumbaggery
OP Is malding, trying to cope and trying hard to believe that this 0.9.0 is the PLAYABLE version....
Anyways, The Devs are already aware of all the problems(We have a forms for that). Because unlike some clowns on Itch.io here, We have decent and serious people helping, suggesting, and actually contributing to the game. Not crying, complaining and doing jack shit over the forums while they do nothing with their life and just complain

They re just gaslighting everyone. 
Its a fallacy when they say "I was going to pay for the game that I can play for free but now a test version of the game upset me so no promise money for you"
If they had the money they would have paid for it a long time ago...
Mostly are just children without maturity, spewing bullshit over the internet for attention and just for lulz.

You could try to use a molotov and the molotov blast force will push the keycard further down and  will trigger the failsafe and the keycard will spawn on top of the bunker.( I dont know I never tried that but maybe?)

Glad it worked out for you... But it seems the pressure washer is very weak to clean stuff. Sadly...  Ol' Bucket of Water must have washed off the poop stain

Thats weird. I had a constant fly sound effect playing which triggered my clean freak instincts and went to completely clean the base... My guess is that the piece of poop managed to make a ''poop stain'' somewhere in your base. The poop stain triggers the fly sound effect. Or maybe the poop fell under the base floor? .
Theres an option to clear the all the thrash piles in the base... Did you use that?

Literally not. VoTV is a passion project, even if people playing or not, it will release and its gonna be good . Its an unique game that takes form from its predecessor Signal Simulator that was basically inspired by a Streamer called Joel from Vinesauce.
Also that isn't ''backseat driving''. Are you helping the development of the game in any way?
Did you develop any asset? Did you contribute with any content for the game? Did you help with any form of bugfixing and/or bug finding of the game?
No, you are just being an arrogant and self entitled prick the same way the OP is. You think the devs owe you something?
What is your deal? Take your stupid negativity out of here because I'm sure that your input is as useless as drying ice.

Yet this isnt the place nor the correct way to do it. If you want to be heard, at least act like a human being.
We have a bug report forum just for that.

Welp ,suit yourself. You just proved and showed what you really are. I'm used to people being dickwads in the internet, internet anonymity  does wonders to people.
Have a good one you too. (Even if you didnt mean that)
Edit: It also baffles me that you seem to know how to be ironic yet cant detect A little Joke in a comment.  Cynical much?

No. It was obvious.  The way The text is structured and how he typed it hinted on his little jape at AI. After all AI seems to be The Hot topic right now. 

Nobody would say that Unironically.  Oh wait, Im actually wrong. Because you thought he said it unironically right? So there are People gullible enough to believe it. 

You need to talk with more People Man, Stop taking things too literally, are you neurodivergent perchance? If True, Im Sorry, I dont wanna look rude. But look at your text for example, it sounded a bit ironic and passive aggressive. 

Wow. (period) Thanks for The insightful input.(period)IF he was joking[...]

It sounds like You are mocking me for noticing something you didnt. Which Makes you appear like a self conceited person that gets mad at People noticing things that you didnt ,making you appear even more ridiculous and Stupid.  If your intention wasnt that and you are neurodivergent Disregard The Last part. 

Work on that penmanship Bro. It helps a lot convey yourself better and not look like a tool or a scumbag. 

Wow. Rude.

Custom Content is broken as of 0.9.0 Shadow Test Build. 
You can try some work arounds like using the config file from 0.8.2c though you can have some unwanted side effects.

I dont know what the idea you guys have on Game development but One thing I can assure you.. Its hard work. For a Game like Voices of the Void where we have lots of items interactions,  Events,flags, and a whole lot of stuff running on the background. I challenge you to a week of game developing. Coding asssets, Setting up AI pathways and AI Behavior, Dealing with volumetric Lighting, Texture Mip mapping, modelling and animating said models, Setting up Nodes and events flags, adjusting headers and pointers....
Let the guys have some fun little japes between them... They are artists too

Couldnt have said better myself
''Complaining that the rain makes you wet''
If you dont mind I will use this from now on.

You can also manually change the time date on your pc... It actually changes the seasons in game...

/woooosh

Thats alright.  A Lot of people confuse ''Playing'' In the Ludic sense as to ''Test''
For some people, Testing and playing its fun... Its like a virtual glorified treasure hunt.(For me, playing and testing and finding bugs and broken things its fun for other people its not)
When you ''play'' a game, you expect it to work as intended with all the mechanics, game world and balancing to be nice and tidy.. But this isn't the case. In this case. playing this particular version of the game, would ruin your expectancy on the game. No wonder the Dev dully noted that its BROKEN,SHADOW,TEST in Uppercase... He probably knew what would happen.
There's a BIG difference between Playing a game and testing a game but for some people doing both is fun.

bro it just changed to pressing numbers to just holding E... Its just that bro. Not that complicated..
Hold E, scroll wheel. Release on the option you want. But if you dont want to adapt thats your issue. There are people willing to.

Thats called being in debt.

Theres an option in settings to reset pc parts.

You saying that like you wouldnt do the same. Right?
Yeah, Of course he gotta appease the patrons they are literally funding his project. But youre kinda projecting something thats kinda toxic?
Like you are implying that DrNose doesnt give a crap about the ''Freebies'' opinions while literally he has a Forum just for bug reporting. THe problem is the community that doesnt give concise feedback? Between the cesspool of bullcrap they send in the forums you sometimes found a really good Bug Reports and some good ideas.. But you gotta waddle thru all that thrash to find something good. Between swears, insults, tantrums and complaints.
If you dont know what Im talking about GO right now into the VoTV forums and spend 30 mins checking the Bug Reports and Ideas.

Seconding this... SKill issue on their part. Brain as smooth as marble ball that cant learn a simple combo of keys.. 

Just like boomers.. They hate new things and change.... Yet they advocate it when it better suits them

Dude went out of his way to prove that only a minor number of people cared enough about old controls and still getting downvoted
Kids smh
Its like the Minority Screams while the majority is busy having fun to care enough
Lol and the guy above just got curbstomped in argument with facts and logic. Then he goes: -Uh.. Ah Whatever I DOnT LIKE IT. So I just made it all up in my mind that the majority didnt like it.
Not even an apology ,bro? How petty are ya?
SO much for your ''nice guy'' attitude. 

Thats the neat part you cant.The Checkbox is bugged(Or you can if you know your way around game development and messing with game configuration files) 
Wait for an update on the shadow build(If DrNose doesnt get fed up with the community endless nagging and give a big middle finger to everyone by only releasing the fix  on the Stable 0.9.0. which is not that far) 
By the way the new control scheme is more accessible to someone with finger issues. And much more ergonomic and intuitive and its Also controller friendly which seems to be hinting at a VoTV release on consoles.
also no more grab/take/eat confusion YAY.

A child throwing a Tantrum.
Something normal in every game community

Yes.. Testers test stuff. Its implied in the name. What are they testing for? Thats the real question. Every assignment has an aim.
Also Testers dont make a 60 line text complaining about the bugs and features and broken stuff they find, in a General Discussion Forum of the game. 
REAL TESTERS Document bugs, Unintended Features and anything unusual they find during their gameplay and in the end, they make a little addendum with their ideas and suggestions and send all that to the Dev. Thats what Testers Do.
BUt playing a TEST version of the game and expecting a finalized product experience its kinda unfair isnt it?
In game development when you have a PLAYABLE game it means its somewhat fun and engaging experience...
So, the shadow build? Unplayable.... Play at your own risk of getting a bad experience and if you want to help, Please play it report all the bugs you found, document them and put them in the forms DrNose set it up for THIS occasion in particular.(its Enforced by the dev thats why he released the Test version for the public)
Dont be a self entitled jackass like OP. Contribute, be kind and concise. Help the development of your beloved game..
Its like raising a child.. You wont beat its ass for every mistake they make unless you want to repeat the same mistakes some parents do with their offspring.

That isnt meant for The player to see. Its just stuff they use for future implementations and help work flow...

No. 

There are multiple Forms  of tests and testers

In game development its not just The playable state that is important. As of The game right now, The shadow build in question, is not  playable . It was made to test New mechanics, physics, Graphics implementations, AI behavior, Map stability, and overall consistency of game content.(to check if all flags are being activated and such) 

QA testers test The completed project fully to check if The entire project and vision of the Game is working as intended. But as Everybody knows VOTV aint complete yet... So this fallacy of "testers, test the Game by playing" is flat out wrong... Imagine if all testers did that during development of a game? 

Imagine The waste of time waiting for all testers to play a game that it has content that needs to be activated by putting hundreds of hours into the game and still missing, for an example,  an event? 

The game would never get out of development hell

In short... No, This isnt a version to play and enjoy. This version is literally a work In PROGRESS meant to show New ideas, mechanics and etc for The other guys in The team to "spark" creativity and create content. 

I agree with The guy above me. These shadow builds should be private because of all The behavior of the community that isnt helping in any way The development of the Game.
Edit:  Addendum: You arent forced to play the shadow version. You can choose not to do so. And if the warnings werent enough for you dont forget that Actions have consequences. Be mindful of that

You know you can edit your post right? Why are you replying to yourself? 

Anyways The issue with scrap blueprints is a very rare bug that happens when you are making stuff.. 

Quicksave, close The game and open it again, Then make The thing.. It should solve it for The Time being
