Hello Pilots!

We've been busy with future console ports but we have a small, but very important, update:
300%+ performance gains on certain combat parts
Minor visual bugs
This should address the performance issues players would have with some AMD GPUs.
And the game will run perfectly on 10 year old mid spec laptops.
Since we also updated the engine there could be some bugs that got in, so if you find anything let us know on the community steam forums.
There are also some upcoming content updates that will drop slowly in the coming weeks.
Thank you!

Version 1.11 with the very original name 'You can (not) Update' Update is now live!
ARC SEED is also part of the Turn-Based Carnival until the 4th of December, so check it out for more turn based games.
We introduce the 4th playable Mech called Apex and a couple more things.
Apex is designed around short range attacks but also ways to quickly move around the map.
The new Mech can be unlocked by just playing and leveling the Arc Pass.
We also introduced a couple of gamepad improvements and minor performance gains.
We don't have a defined roadmap for the next patches but these should be the next things on our list:
Steam Achievements (soon)
New pilots and cards
More console ports
Tutorial improvements
More balances and improvements in some enemies and boss fights
New game mode
Other QoL features
Thank you everyone for your support!

Hello Pilots!

Version 1.0 is now live!

The new story mode comes in two difficulty modes:
Easy: You just play and chill, if you lose you can always repeat the fight again
Ironman: Works like the regular mode, if you die you lose. But as the story progresses, you will have more pilots available, so losing one pilot and mech might be permanent but you can use any other pilots and mechs that are alive.
We also added a new Act in all modes, new enemies and 3 new bosses.
There are a lot of small changes to existing cards, stats, research, etc.. so the game will play differently than before.
As always we expect the following weeks to continue balancing the game and tuning some of the fights and cards.
And there is always stuff that we never managed to fit into the 1.0 release and we hope to add that content later down the road with free updates.
For now we can say we have the 4th Mech already in the works and will be available later this year.
Steam Achievements will also be available soon and we will keep improving the Steam Deck experience with the game.
Thank you for your support and see you soon!

Hello Pilots!

Research tab - You can now upgrade your mech via the research tab, specializing your mech into specific mechanics. You will gain resources by killing the archangels and use them in the research tab.
Pilot selection menu - This is just a preview since you can only choose Nicole as a pilot, but you will see some of the new pilots that will be introduced later this summer
This is just the first batch of research upgrades, with around only 30% of the planned upgrades, and we will implement them slowly as we balance the game in other areas.
There are also some minor ui improvements and other fixes.
And this is just the start of the update as we are pushing more content and new assets in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
Thank you!

Hello pilots!
With this update we are adding a new boss, enemies and a new card and some balance changes.
There will also be more regular updates later this month with more bosses and other improvements.

New boss Ophanim added to Act I
Added new versions of some elite enemies like Turiel and Adriel.
Now regular enemies only do one action per turn, so it’s more clear what enemies will do next turn.
For elite or bosses there can still be more than one attack per turn and we added some UI changes to make it more clear, but more improvements will be done soon.
Added new card, Cascading Resonance. Be careful because in certain maps, a badly placed attack with this card can destroy most of the city. Just make sure people have evacuated safely!
Berserk mode has been buffed, now giving +10HP and more battery.
We will continue to make some changes on how enemy intents work.
This current version does make the game a bit easier on the regular fights and more balances will be added in the coming weeks.
There is also a new harder mode that will be unlocked via the 'arc pass' or by finishing the game in the regular mode. This new game mode should be available before the end of this month.
Thank you for your support, see you soon!
