Just what is this game “A Valley Without Wind” from indie studio Arcen Games all about? Read on to find out. Procedural World Filled With Choice And CustomizationAt first glance it looks like your average 2D Metroidvania title, just with magic instead of guns. The difference is choice: except for a brief linear intro mission,…

This one is basically AVWW 1.0, unless a showstopper bug comes up between now and Monday that we need to slip in. Otherwise all further changes to the game will be post-release content. 🙂 Specifically, this version fixes a crash bug that cropped up in the last 3-4 versions based on a bug in unity. …

Otherwise all further changes to the game will be post-release content. 🙂 Presuming nothing bad comes up in the meantime, the next batch of stuff is planned hit on late Monday. Enjoy! This…
DetailsThis one is the second of what hopefully will only be three releases today. It contains a number of fixes, including a key fix to the “lasers” that were causing unhandled exceptions when you were in stealth mode.

Gameinpublic posted the first ten minutes of the indie game talk I took part in. This was day two (we did a…
DetailsThis one has a whole lot of cool stuff in it, and you should totally check out the release notes. I’d tell you more about it, but I-am-so-exhausted. The brief version: massive performance boost on ATI in particular; control scheme improvements for non keyboard+mouse players; miscellaneous fixes; less insanely difficult battlefields. More to come soon. …
DetailsThis one is mainly more balance based on the “worst unit of all time” polls. Interestingly, with last patch’s improvements to the harvesters we actually went a bit too far — so, yeah, we’re totally taking that pony back. 😉 More interesting is what is getting buffed this time, which includes the Neinzul Enclave Starships…
DetailsThis one is, again, all about the fixes and polish — in keeping with our agenda for the next week. We’ll be back to content updates next week, once we hit 1.0. This one is really all over the place in terms of what it addresses. Battlefield missions have some teeth again. Continents now get…
