This release brings us very near to the end of the content-addition phase of the Light of the Spire beta, and into the polish/balance/bugfixes phase. Since Keith is done with the Fallen Spire minor faction, he’s already into the polish phase, but I’ve still got another three classes of guardians and another two classes of…
DetailsThis release is a ridiculously massive one; two days’ worth of stuff is a ton in Arcen land. The big new stuff here is twofold: the last of the episodes for the Fallen Spire minor faction scripted story campaign (say that five times fast), and the first of the new Spirecraft ships. For the Fallen…
DetailsThe article UK Dev Gets Off Arse – Makes Indie Portal on Spong talks about showmethegames.com, something that Arcen — and 19 other indie developers, including Positech, 2D Boy, and many others — have been quietly working on for the last month or two. Time flies, I forget exactly how long it’s been. And I…
DetailsThis release is another biggie. Where to even begin… Well, for one thing the Fallen Spire minor faction has seen yet more updates, balance tweaks, and bugfixes, and now also has episode 8 in place. Getting near to the end on that story-based campaign arc, now! There are also six new map types for the…
DetailsThis release is a maintenance patch for a few issues with the last patch that we wanted to resolve before our next full release tonight. This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later. When you launch the game, you’ll see the notice…

There will be 9 new bonus ship classes in all in this expansion, the first…
DetailsGreetings Arcen fans! We wanted to take a quick moment to let you know that three of our games are on the selection list for the 2010 Indie Of The Year Awards. The selection is very simple, as it’s up to the fans to get the games to the next Top 50 round! All you…
DetailsThis release brings more bugfixes and balance goodies, as well as episode 6 of the Fallen Spire story-driven minor faction campaign-within-a-campaign. It’s late and it’s been a very long day, so for now I’ll just refer you to the release notes above. There’s a lot of changes in this version, but they’re all over the…
DetailsI just today realized this. It goes without saying that there are major spoilers ahead for FFVI, so if you haven’t played that game yet you should stop reading. And go play that game. Right now. To me, it’s the best game ever made. But I digress. I said it was an allegory. Usually when…
DetailsThis release includes some bugfixes and balance fixes, as well as episode 5 of the Fallen Spire story campaign. The Fallen Spire story is really coming together at this stage, and this also has a lot of refinements to the prior episodes. Also of significance is that the model for how big waves are has…
