i bought the game in early access for 15 dollars and now im not entitled to a steam key even though its on sale on steam right now for 15 dollars? please explain
Hi GenoHamster, All Itch backers were automatically granted a Steam key back in June. In your Itch library (or purchase email) click the 'Download' button for Void War and you should see a "Redeem Steam key" button. See the instructions here for more info: https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought
I just realised there's no keybind option for "power launch bay" (even though there are binds for loading crew and launching the sled), and it tends to default to being pushed out of those first few slots that get the 1-5 presets. Not a huge deal, but would be nice to have it.
Doesn't happen often, but if I happen to click on a dialogue option that has a door under it in my ship, the game will open (or close) the door when i click the option to select. Weird bug but fairly minor as these things go.
And I found there's quite a few of these "click through" bugs, when you're doing something that closes a window, it'll often click the thing behind it as well as the thing you clicked in the window. Often that's relatively innocuous like opening or closing a door that's in your ship directly under the line of dialog you selected. Sometimes it'll be on the store or loadout screen when you get a confirm popup and you'll accidentally pick an object up while trying to confirm/cencel an action.
In lighter news... just finished a journey with Wight/Corpsemother start, which led to me being able to send more demons onto enemy ships than they had space for by the end of the run. In the final battle, I took 2 hull damage, and lost1 crew member from my crew of 12.
Installed the new update a couple of days ago. Tried launching the game today, and I don't have a working copy of the game any more, because the updated files are the Steam version, not a standalone that's playable outside of Steam.
It should run fine without Steam. If you run it while Steam is installed it will default to launching via Steam, but without Steam installed it will still run. If you don't want it to launch through Steam delete steam_api64.dll and Steamworks_x64.dll.
When this is the only thing that opens on launch, I'd say "runs fine without Steam" is the exact opposite of correct. Deleting the Steam files worked, but you shouldn't be including files in your uploads here that break the game for users who don't run the game through Steam.
Oh that's weird. It runs fine on our Windows 10 machines without Steam installed and without deleting the Steam files. What version of Windows are you running?
Either way, you are right. I'll delete the Steam files and re-upload in a bit. Thanks for the heads up.
So... uhhh... *slight* problem when trying out the demo. The list of resolution options is long enough that the last option on the list (which is the correct one I want) is covering up part of the "configure keybinds" button. Which wouldn't be a problem, except that clicking on it clicks the button behind it instead of selecting the resolution I want... O_o oops.
And... *very* slowly (while doing other things and playing in the background) finished a demo run. Even without being able to set borderless to fill my screen properly, well worth buying! (But I do hope that bug is fixed at some point) EDIT: And... the full game doesn't have the same bug O_o yay!
Thanks for taking the leap! Yeah... the full game receives bug fixes and content updates at a steady pace, so any issues you find in the demo will likely be resolved in the full game.
Unfortunately the demo build is quite old now and it becomes very expensive and time consuming for our small 2-person team to have to maintain that version of the game... plus the Itch version, plus the Steam version. We may end up doing a bug fix pass on the demo later down the road but right now we are focusing on delivering as much content as we can as fast as we can for the full version of Void War. I appreciate you taking the time to respond, and I hope you have fun conquering the stars!
Yeah, and (unlike some devs I've seen) the updates are making it to the itch version, which is a plus for me! (and others with reasons to avoid using Steam)
hey, big fan of the game, great job. only feedback i would love to see is to please, please, add a warning when you go to warp with some of your crew on the other ship. I've only done it a few times, but it is the worst run ender when you leave your whole boarding crew on their ship without realizing it. I'd love you forever!
Hey guys! I am a big fan of FTL (clocked 330+ hours of play, 90% of achievements) and I've been localizing video games into Spanish for a living since 2008 (I was one of the translators of StarCraft II).
I need to be on the localization team for Void War. It would be a landmark on my career :)
Also waiting for my Steam key, I've had my Steam account linked with itch.io and have yet to receive a notification here, on Steam, or an email detailing how I'll receive it. Hopefully we figure out something soon!
Hi, the Steam key should be available in your Itch library after you click "Download" (under your Void War purchase). More details on how to access it here: https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought

The game has improved a lot since I bought it months ago, playing it on Steam right now is a very good experience overall.
I contacted you last year about localization and you recently told us that it was now in progress. Thus, I reiterate my proposition to participate in the French translation of Void War. I am already part of the French team in charge of the French version of FTL: Multiverse and it would be honor to contribute to Void War.

For steam keys go to your games list on this site -> click on void war -> download button -> should have an option for getting you steam key beneath the download button.
To which folder should we transfer out score and profile .sav files if we want to carry over progress from the beta to steam version? I hit the "open local files" button on steam, but location it opened didn't have those files.
So i bought this game EARLY to support you and so STEAM did NOT take a cut, and im not allowed to get a steam key???? Quite dissapointing to be honest. If you ever make another game im just waiting for a STEAM RELEASE

Any update for Linux users yet please?
Can I buy the full game here? (I don't do steam)
I just realised there's no keybind option for "power launch bay" (even though there are binds for loading crew and launching the sled), and it tends to default to being pushed out of those first few slots that get the 1-5 presets. Not a huge deal, but would be nice to have it.
Any chance of a Linux version? Steam Proton is not letting me run this - I'm gutted
Played the demo and it's neat! Thanks for the project.
BTW is there a place I can follow the artist? I like the portrait art!

Win11 here, might be that causing problems.
Could be, yeah. We will look into it.
Could you update Itch.io version, please? EDIT: Thank you.
itch.io version is a link to the Steam version, not a standalone.
Still need an actual itch.io version.
This game is incredible!
I bought it a few days ago and I keep staying up until 1:00am and being real groggy for work.
Guess I should call in sick and play more Void War.

Is there a ship unlock guide?
There are some spoilers here, but *most* are "win with (previous ship in the chain)" type missions:

The game feels great. If you ever would like a hand sprucing up the character sprites/animation Id love to help!
I can't see the get steam key link...
Press Download.
Yesterday the button only took me to the game page, but today it worked. Thanks!

So how do I add my copy to steam?

Any chance of getting an iOS version of the game or is this expected to be Windows only?
Hello Tundra.

Same here, steam key?
are the steam keys out? I've been checking the download page daily but still haven't gotten one.
According to Itch.io they should still be available. If they are not showing up for you, contact Itch.io support.
how do I mod this games .win file? I want to edit some sprites.
To which folder should we transfer out score and profile .sav files if we want to carry over progress from the beta to steam version? I hit the "open local files" button on steam, but location it opened didn't have those files.
Not sure if this is against Itch.io terms of service, but is there any plans to release on GOG.com?
