This one is uncharacteristically gargantuan, even by Arcen standards. Josh, Zack, and I have all been working all weekend to get all this finished up, and in particular Sunday was an 18 hour day for Josh and Zack, and so far looks like a 25 hours day for me. But it’s all worth it —…
This one is actually fairly small, though it does have some good new story stuff in there, and more of Alden Ridge has been implemented. But the big thing is fixing a bunch of exceptions that would be thrown whenever you encountered NPC3. Now that’s fixed, and all the NPCs have their final graphics (though…
This one has a huge metric ton of stuff in it, including a lot of work on the final boss (still not done yet), story cutscenes and so forth all through the game, and even a new weapon that many people won’t find on their first playthrough. Probably my favorite thing in this particular release…
This one has a bunch more in-engine cutscenes of varying scope and importance, and several new comic panel cutscenes without voiceover (the voiceovers are used for key emotional scenes, but the comic panels are also used for area transitions to help set the sense of what an area is by giving you a painted view…
Shattered Haven goes to 1.0 on Monday, March 18th, 2013! Get the game from the Arcen site, Steam, Gog.com, GamersGate, or Green Man Gaming! An Environmental Puzzle Game About Family, Grit, and Survival Grays roam the land, largely in the absence of human interference. These aren’t your typical Zed — theirs is a very different…
This one has a couple of new in-engine cutscenes (as opposed to comic panel cutscenes). There’s a goodly number of both remaining to do, and I had hoped to get more of that done today, but instead there was just a huge wash of minor bugs and polish stuff I wanted to get done so…
This one is the second release of the day. It has a number of fixes and tweaks that are nice, but nothing too major. The big thing this time around is our work on implementing/polishing more story and voiceovers and comic panels, etc. We still have more than a little bit to do over the…
This one is the first of two releases for today. It includes one critical bugfix where you couldn’t always pick up items correctly in the last version, which is the main reason this was pushed out. But it also has other bugfixes and tweaks, a new cutscene, and four new music tracks. Also improvements to…
This one includes a ton of inventory improvements, makes the follower NPC invulnerable, and improves several levels as well as making the “sliding around objects” logic work better. More to come soon. Enjoy! This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have any version of the…
This one revamps the Dark Spire minor faction and does a balance overhaul on Starships, notably adding a long-requested new important capturable structure: The Advanced Starship Constructor. For the Dark Spire:they should still be just as influential upon the galaxy once truly unleashed (in fact, more influential due to improved “what do I do now?”…
