VotV YouTube video

Overview

Voices of the Void is incredible. So I want to show more people that they should give the game a shot.
But the game is really difficult to get into and it's not even on steam! (the main reason people turn away from it apperantly)
So I am now working on a video of me going through a normal story mode playthrough, while trying to show and engage in as many mechanics as I can.
Expect spoilers (this game is a whole diffrent world of fun and interesting when you know as little as possible)

I will update this page as I make progress, so expect some graphics for the video rendered as GIFs to look at!

Step Zero is done for now: I have written down the game mechanics to use and show in my playthrough. Here it is: (potential spoilers)

Notes of mechanics to use during the playthough

Now for step one: to play thru the whole game... again... It's gonna be playthrough around number 5 for me...

First visual! Just me flying around the map with a custom LUT applied and a shifted hue. Simple stuff, looks awesome.

had to kill the resolution so it loads reasonably, the actual graphic is a lot better

Update 01/04/2026 (no not a joke):The game updated again, DAMMIT!!! STOP BEING A INDIE GAME THAT CARES ABOUT THE PLAYERS!!!! Now I have to re record all the gameplay footage...

Update 10/04/2026: currently working on a "bug of the cave" visual for one of the game's creatures inspired by the "bug of the week" segment of the orborb youtube show. I'd say it's about 60% done. I'll make sure to do my best to show it here! (it will be here 100% though, might have to make it a youtube embed)
For whatever reason, I am dreading recording the actual gameplay footage despite enjoying the game a lot... Because I would have to play it with minimal VCs with friends and/or music. Or just say fuck it, I'll edit it out somehow. Might flip a few coins or throw some dice until I get the result to delay it more until I never make the video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Update 22/04/2026: it is done! recording footage of the game now i swear! day 0-1 are recorded already (out of the 48 days in story mode + whatever i'll need to show the stuff i wanna show). i am feeling really motivated now that i took a break from votv.

Update 26/04/2026: hard at work on the script and voiceover for the video. genuenly feel like this has crazy potential for cinema, just from the way i reveal major plot points and story mode event ha. Footage came to a halt due to me getting addicted to warframe.

Update 01/05/2026: made the disclaimer :) copies the game's warning screen almost 1 to 1

Update 06/05/2026: 7 hours and 49 minutes of footage recorded... 9 days out 49 in... plus whatever i would need to show things.. im gonna be making this all summer aren't i?

Update 12/05/2026: 9 hours and 35 minutes of footage. I started slowly actually editing the video because, oh my god I might not have enough hard drive space to keep it all lol

The first 20 minutes of gameplay mostly edited. Cut down to under 10 minutes.

Update 17/05/2026:

Update 22/05/2026: currently in after effects hell working on the intro sequence.
After Effects intro sequence in progress

Upadte 25/06/2026:

Still working on it... Here, have a WIP render of the intro sequence! Turn on CC.
(all voice over HAS to be rerecorded because i just cant get into the tone i need)

To-dos

  • Make a rig of Dr.Kel (main character) because apperantly there isn't one... maybe not... probably gonna make the intro sequence not in blender. too much effort.
  • Work on intro sequence
  • Record the gameplay [working]
  • Work on script [working]
  • Work on visuals [working]
  • Edit everything together into one coherent video
These are all huge goals which will take multiple days each, I am currently working on the script while recording footage and working on the intro on and off.
