On Friday we announced the first public alpha of multiplayer, and feedback on that was very positive except for one major point, which was could not have been received more negatively. The point in question is the “multiverse thing,” which is detailed here.What Happens Next With “The Multiverse Thing”Firstly to go ahead with the most…
Well, I’d hoped to have the new AI system ready for a release today or even yesterday, but things don’t always go to plan. At first I was just going to make it so that enemies could do multiple types of magic attacks. Then I decided to wrap in some of their general logic so…
Just in time for Minecon, here’s the latest and greatest trailer for the game! Erik and his friend Kevin really pulled out all the stops with this one, and I think it’s our best-put-together trailer yet. It’s also far superior to the prior trailer in that it shows off a lot of the new spells,…
Ever since beta started, we’ve hardly gone a business day without updates, but here we’ve now gone a week since the last AVWW update. Fear not! This isn’t the start of some new trend. It’s just been a confluence of events. First of all, I was out of the office last Thursday and Friday due…
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…

This time the video is all narration, and covers just about everything I would have said in a blog post after this past week. So very short post this time, and here’s the video: Video NotesGameplay footage after about 30 weeks of development. No music this time, sorry, as the voiceover runs throughout and is…
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…
It’s been just about two months since we last did a video of AVWW, and we’ve been very busy! This is the first true “gameplay video” that we’ve ever done, where it’s all one long un-cut stretch of in-game footage rather than a trailer with chopped-up clips. This is also the first time we’ve ever…
