This one is actually the fifth update that we’ve done since beta started three days ago. However, this is the first one that is getting its own post; I was just in too much of a hurry with everything going on to post about the other releases, despite the fact that they had significant improvements…
Valley 2 1.003 is out now, if you hadn’t heard. As we let the game breathe a bit, our focus shifts to Shattered Haven’s official launch later this month (March 18th, to be exact). Before that, however, we wanted to highlight all the coverage Valley 2 (and company) has seen in the past month —…
This one addresses a few minor issues that had collected, including a couple of annoying things with the ending cutscene of the game. The largest thing overall in this one is that Swamp Castles now work properly in actually granting your NPCs speed bonuses on the world map. Enjoy! This is a standard update that…
If you missed the announcement on our main news blog, Shattered Haven has now entered beta! I didn’t quite have any video footage ready for the launch, but now I’ve got two for you. The voiceovers are done by Prince Taylor, who is the voice of Darrell in the 11 voiced scenes in the game…
Arcen Games is proud to announce that the Shattered Haven beta is starting today! The beta will last from today through March 18th, when the 1.0 version will be launching. During the beta period, you can buy the game and get full access to the latest and greatest beta version for 25% off the usual…
I can’t quite say that these are the “first” screenshots of Shattered Haven, because there were some really ancient ones posted of the game way back in 2009, and more recently I posted about the evolution of the graphics of one particular level. So there have been little peeks here and there, but by and…
This one starts addressing some longstanding requests related to champion balance and answers the most recent “worst unit” poll where the game’s least impactful units get shamed into some kind of improvement. #1 in the poll were the AI’s normal guard posts. The core ones that protect the AI homeworlds (and particularly the “brutal-pick” posts)…
This one is our first update to AI War in three months. For us, that’s a really, really long time between updates. There’s a variety of reasons for the lull, but the most significant one was our need to focus on getting A Valley Without Wind 2 done and officially released. Now that that’s done…
A Valley Without Wind 2 OST and A Valley Without Wind 2 (Extended Edition) OST are now on sale through Bandcamp! AVWW 2 OST is on sale for $5, and includes the following select tracks from the game: 1. To One Who’ll Stand And Fight 2. Ocean Shallows 3. Henchman Elder 4. Craggy Highlands 1…
This one addresses a few minor issues, as well as properly filling out the beta player contributors credits list. More newsworthy, undoubtedly, is the addition of a new option in the settings menu that enables mouse-aiming. This is something I said I’d never do for this game, but apparently never say never. I maintain my…
