This one focuses on more polish and bugfixes relating to the new player experience as we move toward PAX East. In particular a lot of things relating to caverns and underground seeding, hence the name above. We’re only showing solo directly at PAX, so that’s where the bulk of our focus has been on the…
DetailsArcen Games is excited to announce A Valley Without Wind, our upcoming co-op 2D sidescroller of near-infinite proportions, will be on display at PAX East April 6-8 in Boston. We’re also thrilled to reveal AVWW 1.0 will coincide with the title’s Steam release on April 23. AVWW has heavily evolved since we began openly developing it back in January…
DetailsJust a couple of weeks ago, we announced that we’d be launch on April 16th on Steam, and that we were lowering the price of the game. All of that is still true, except that we’ve shifted the release date back a week to the 23rd instead of the 16th. Why the shift? Well, to…
DetailsNow that the game has been out in beta for months and months, we have the data to set our final system requirements. Here they are: COMPATIBLE OPERATING SYSTEMS —————————- Windows XP SP2 or later; Mac OSX Intel CPU and “Leopard” 10.5 or later. Linux is not officially supported by Unity 3D, the engine AVWW…
DetailsThese are all at a lower scale, of course, but I thought you might enjoy these. The first two are being printed at 3 feet by five 5 feet in size and will go on either side of our 33 inch video monitor mounted at the back of our booth. The third image is being…
DetailsThis one was certainly slower than we had anticipated on releasing, but PAX East preparations have been really kicking us in the teeth the last few days. A lot of stuff had to get off to printers and so forth in time to actually make it to the show, and we left some of that…
DetailsThis one has more balance and bugfix changes, and more responses to the “worst unit” polls. This time, the Mobile Repair Station gets some overdue love. Most substantially with this release, however, are some bug/balance fixes relating to the AI and how it gets reinforcements. Those were being held artificially low on certain difficulties, in…
DetailsThis one is a hotfix for some issues in the prior version. Sigh. More to come soon. Enjoy! This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 0.500 or later. When you launch the game, you’ll see the notice of the update having been found if…
DetailsThis one is a lot cheerier than our last release, in that it’s not fixing critical bugs. Minor ones, sure, but that’s a much better way to end the day as far as I’m concerned. It also changes around the balance on the supply depot meteor defense missions, and makes the world map way more…
DetailsThis one has got to be about the least fun sort of release to be working on, for everyone involved (players and developers). There was still a memory leak in the prior version, and it was harming performance as well because of all the garbage collections it was causing. So all day today for Keith,…
