Great to be at Dev.Play Conference 2026 in Bucharest — an important gathering point for the Eastern European game development community.

First of all, thank you to Vlad Alexandru and the Dev.Play organizers for the warm welcome and for creating such a strong platform for the regional games industry.

It was a pleasure to meet the team behind the event, connect with people from the industry, and have a very valuable conversation with Zihan Wang from Nintendo.

Events like this are especially important for regional studios: they create space for meaningful conversations, new partnerships, and a better understanding of how smaller teams can grow, collaborate, and compete internationally.

Happy to represent ByOwls here.

Whispers of the Void — gameplay update (VR space combat) 🚀

Sharing a fresh gameplay clip from our UE5 story-driven sci-fi VR adventure, developed by the Ukrainian indie team ByOwls.

In this update we’re iterating on:
- ship handling feel & combat pacing
- VFX readability (so action stays clear)
- smoother motion for a more comfortable viewing experience

If you’re into VR space battles / sci-fi adventures, we’d love your feedback.

🎧 Whispers of the Void — учасник Фестивалю українських ігор у Steam!

До старту Фестивалю українських ігор ми підготували українську локалізацію трейлера, а також оновили гру: у космічному кораблі тепер звучить українське радіо, створене спеціально для атмосферного занурення.

🎶 У грі вже можна почути треки від талановитих інді-гуртів: Квіткіс, Пивас, MapleMaps та Робаний Йот. Це музика, що додає живого настрою й робить подорож у безодню ще більш особливою.

Пишаємося бути частиною Фестивалю українських ігор у Steam — разом будуємо простір для яскравих, унікальних ігор з українським серцем 💛
