DetailsThis one is the second release of the day. Based on some feedback that we got from a member of the press whom I greatly trust, I realized that our tutorial was just too darn long. There were some parts where players were getting lost even in the alpha and beta, and the whole thing…
DetailsThis one has a litany of small fixes and tweaks, and a couple of cool new features. First off, when you’re walking you no longer fall into pits or water. Handy when you’re navigating tight ledges while not being pursued by angry grays Secondly, when you scroll through items in your inventory, it now shows…
DetailsThis one is our first post-release update.

Also it has a…

DetailsThis one is uncharacteristically gargantuan, even by Arcen standards. Josh, Zack, and I have all been working all weekend to get all this finished up, and in particular Sunday was an 18 hour day for Josh and Zack, and so far looks like a 25 hours day for me. But it’s all worth it —…
DetailsThis one is actually fairly small, though it does have some good new story stuff in there, and more of Alden Ridge has been implemented. But the big thing is fixing a bunch of exceptions that would be thrown whenever you encountered NPC3. Now that’s fixed, and all the NPCs have their final graphics (though…
DetailsThis one has a huge metric ton of stuff in it, including a lot of work on the final boss (still not done yet), story cutscenes and so forth all through the game, and even a new weapon that many people won’t find on their first playthrough. Probably my favorite thing in this particular release…
