If you’ve been following the main Arcen News Blog, or the AVWW Forum, or any of our social media, then I’m sure you’ve seen that we’ve put out a few metric tons of releases for A Valley Without wind in the last two weeks. We’re presently working on update #20, actually. So, how have things…
This one is packed with more cool stuff. Probably the biggest new thing is the new “pylons” on the world map. These are basically magical barriers that prevent you from crossing certain region tiles. These barriers have a fairly temporary graphic for now, but it’s clear where the barriers are, anyhow. To bring down a…
This one is another really big release in terms of balance. And also: first new enemies since beta! The new Eagle, and the upgraded Eagle Diver, are two variants off the same enemy which you can now encounter in the forests. There’s even a new bird’s nest monster spawner for them. The next big balance…
This one is too small to warrant a name for the release. However, it does fix on divide by zero error that is well worth getting a fix into your hands for post-haste. Enjoy! This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later.…
This one is a smaller bugfix/balance release, but it’s got a lot of really important stuff in there. For one thing, there was a gaffe in the prior version that had monster health scaling the opposite of what it should have been. For another, the MP costs of spells were still scaling in the old…
This one is yet another really huge release, and yet again it was sparked by player commentary. The work on new spells and enemies and such got pushed back a day, but this release basically marks a complete rebalancing of all the enemies and spells and player stats, and most importantly how they progress over…
This one is a really big release, in a lot of respects. It changes a huge amount of stuff about the visuals of the various particle effects, without actually doing any new graphics. But to the average player it’s really going to look like a bunch of new graphics, especially with something like the fireball,…
We’re not even a week into beta for A Valley Without Wind, and already a whopping 12 patches have been released for the game thanks in great part to all the community feedback. It’s been an amazing start! Beta Updates 5.001-5.012 Released (What A Week!) We’ve compiled some interesting stats and notes across those dozen…
This one is a relatively small release, but it contains a number of important fixes and tweaks. Several of them are aimed at making the settlement management interface clearer, and one of them prevents the farming of trash mobs that fall into water and die. We’re back to our regularly scheduled weekday programming tomorrow. In…
Nearly a week into beta and A Valley Without Wind has cropped up more solid press previews and coverage, including some new videos as well. Thanks goes to these folks for talking time to play the game, have a look at what they’re saying! Games Blog Coverage DIYGamer: An Isolating Yet Unique Platformer… A Valley…
