Arcen Games is excited to pass along new information and details surrounding A Valley Without Wind, the game of infinite procedurally-generated 2D sidescrolling and so much more. The title has reached a sizable milestone, wrapping up series one of the beta patch releases. During the period the game saw 40 individual updates over 43 days,…
This one has two new spell scrolls and one new spellgem. It also has a couple of tweaks and bugfixes. The most interesting thing about these new spell scrolls is that these are the first two that are offensively-oriented in a direct fashion. Previously scrolls were all logistical, healing, or movement type effects, except for…
This one isn’t what I’d planned on doing today, but I’m really glad that I took this detour — and I think that even experienced AVWW players will be, too. The big new feature in this version is the “reference window,” which lets you get at full stats for crafting, civ-level unlocks, and materials. No…
This one is one that I’ve really been looking forward to ever since beta began: the intro mission for the game is now complete! Pending feedback and further testing, of course, but so far it seems pretty good to me. Intro Mission Notes The goal for the intro mission is to give new players a…
This one is a pretty sizable one in terms of what it changes about the “feel” of the game. The big new thing for existing players is the elemental damage system: spells each belong to one of six elements (fire, water, earth, air, light, and entropy), matching the colors of the gems used to create…
This one is another one that has been several days in the making because of the intense number of internal changes that have been a part of it. The recently-revised multiplayer model is continuing to get further along, and as a part of that we’ve done some refactors to help make for (longer-term) fewer bugs…
This one has been a couple of days in the making, and the release notes are still pretty short even so, but it’s been a busy few days for sure! Keith has been hard at work on the multiplayer stuff, and that’s coming along well although it’s still an uphill thing. For my part I’ve…
This one is our third and final release of the day. The thing I’m most excited about it is the work that’s been done on the intro mission framework. The mission-as-implemented-so-far is just a tiny cave that you walk out of (yay), but what that tiny cave represents is pretty substantial for my ability to…
This one is our second of what looks to be three releases for today. There were a couple of bugfixes in it that we wanted to get out to players ASAP, so here we are. Also included in this release, aside from the bugfixes, are a whopping 24 new stairwell-type room templates and 2 new…
Has it really been a whole month since beta came out? How time flies. It’s been a while since I wrote my two-week “thoughts on the beta” post, so I thought I’d do another such post The game is still growing at a hefty rate, but we’re no longer in that period where we’re spending…
