Devoid Prototype update for 1 September 2023

Greetings Voiders,

We are happy to announce that we have added support for monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio and added 2 new resolutions to choose from in the settings menu - 1920x1200 and 1280x800.

Here's a screenshot of what the menu looks like at 1920x1200:

If there are any other aspect ratio's or screen resolutions that you'd like us to add please let us know in This Discussion Thread in the Community Hub or connect with us on the Official Devoid Prototype Discord.

We have also seen that a lot of you would like a way to rebind keys and, we are working towards making this happen in the not too distant future, it requires quite a lot of work though and we would like to get our controller layouts feature in first as this will help mitigate any problems that may arise from the default keybindings until we can complete a comprehensive rebinding system.

We will be releasing our first roadmap for the game in the next 2 weeks to give you all a clearer picture of what we are currently working on beyond the scope of our usual 'in progress' list and so that you can see what there is to look forward to as we progress towards our full release.

Then of course this update also includes the usual changes and bug fixes:
