It took quite some time since or last update to VoidExpanse, but thankfully now v2.1 is finished and deployed!
We hope you can enjoy a few new features, stability improvements and other small changes!
You can read more about this update in our blog post blog.
This update also includes improvements to our backend infrastructure which was a prerequisite to release our next game - CryoFall. We hope you enjoy this game as well! Plus CryoFall will be completely free during the initial alpha phase and everyone is welcome to participate!
And as per our tradition, here's a detailed list of changes!
