Voice of Belldona Public Beta Branch Now Available!

Dear Voice of Belldona players:

Over the past weeks, we have received a large number of suggestions and feedback from players. We have been carefully reviewing and evaluating them with the goal of making the overall gameplay experience of Voice of Belldona smoother, more enjoyable, and more complete.

Based on your feedback, we have released a new Public Beta Branch featuring a number of gameplay improvements and adjustments, including:

• Reducing unnecessary battles to shorten overall run length and create a more focused exploration and deck-building experience.

• Improving Finisher-related UI and notifications, including convenient features such as pinning frequently used Finishers.

• Refining battle pacing and overall gameplay flow.

• Adjusting the difficulty curve and tutorial guidance for new players, making it easier to understand the game's mechanics and deck-building systems.

To determine whether these changes genuinely improve the experience, we warmly invite all players to participate in this test and share their feedback with us.

Things We'd Like You to Pay Attention To

As this is still a testing version, game content may continue to change, and some features, balance adjustments, and numerical values are still under active development.

During testing, you may encounter save incompatibility issues, bugs, unexpected behavior, or unfinished balance changes. We appreciate your understanding and patience while these issues are being addressed.

Through this beta branch, we are particularly interested in learning about the following:

• Whether overall run pacing feels smoother than before

• Which battles still feel unnecessarily long or repetitive

• Whether Finisher notifications and pinning features are intuitive enough

• Whether the tutorial and early-game experience are easier to understand

• What aspects still cause confusion, frustration, or negatively affect the fun of the game

Whether you are a returning player or trying Voice of Belldona for the first time, we welcome you to start or continue your adventure through the beta branch. In particular, if you previously felt that the game was too lengthy or difficult to understand, your feedback will be especially valuable to us.
