I’ve been working on doing some new concept art today so that we’d have a better boxart image than the old one, which has been feeling embarrassingly lame lately. Here are the first two that I’ve created, and I plan to do at least one more in the next week. The second one at the…
Arcen Games is wholly excited to announce new updates for their procedurally-generated exploration and survival game A Valley Without Wind. A ton of work has been put in over the past couple months, as the game edges closer to its first playable beta. Today includes reveals for brand new character models, the introduction of armor…
The below images are not screenshots, but rather are un-processed original renders that then get scaled down to smaller size for actually being used in-game. So, hence the label “concept art.” That said, this is basically how they look except smaller when it comes to the in-game running around graphics, while the in-game portraits are…
New WIP screenshots to share! These ones including some new art by the awesome Phil, who you might recall as the artist behind Tidalis, AI War 2.0, and The Zenith Remnant. Phil has mostly been working on freelance work with other indies since Arcen hit financial difficulties last year when Tidalis got off to a…
So, last week we briefly showed screenshots of the new world map and character select screens. We’re still a few weeks away from being able to do our next large gameplay videos and huge diary entries (we really want to show off a ton of things in those all at once), but here’s a few…
Not a full developer diary today — but I did want to share a couple of things since it’s been a while. We’ve got a few full diaries with videos and lots of details coming up before too long, but in the meantime there are a few things that I can show well with screenshots.…
It’s been a while since our last update — we’ve been really busy, as you might expect. The game has now been in development for 17 weeks, but this week we don’t have a new fully-produced video mainly because we’re running short on time. However, a number of the new animation updates that are in…
It was just three days ago that I wrote the #9 preview for A Valley Without Wind, and mostly that’s still the best source for the goods on what all is new this time around. However, the big thing we were missing last time was a video, because of a few technical difficulties with the…
This video is just a simple lighting test showing off our new way of handling light in AVWW. The older method, using the z buffer, is still available for lower-end graphics cards and computers, but this new model looks way better, and on most computers won’t use that much more CPU/GPU! What We Were Doing:…
It’s been a productive week! The difference in the feel of the game between last week and this week is pretty astronomically huge, which is awesome because I spent at least half my time on non-AVWW business stuff this week. That means future weeks will go even faster — but I digress. Here’s the new…
