Hello everyone,
I am currently hard at work on Arcadian Days 2.0 update, which will be full of exciting new additions, tons of bug fixes and other neat things. Arcadian Days is planned to be updated for quite some time as I am the solo developer but still wish to expand the experience!
I also wanted to say that there will be no generative AI content in the game ever. Besides the usual ethical issues with this technology, I also personally find the results to always be mediocre at best, and I want the game to have a hand crafted quality throughout. Sometimes there might be uglier placeholders models , but nevertheless those are always human made!
What is being worked on in Arcadian Days:
New locations + Quests :
Luj Plain is a brand new location, a large wheat field that contains an impressive looking structure. What mysteries will it hold? It will also feature some new POIs, such as a broken windmill that you will have the opportunity to repair!
New little adventures will also be available in the other maps.
Expanded Tutorial
A new tutorial will be available in 2.0 update which will also take place in a beautiful forested location that will introduce and onboard players significantly easier to the general flow of the game. The tutorial has been created with feedback from players to make the intro into the game more engaging.
More dynamic and exciting progression
Work is underway to make exploration more engaging and rewarding, with your discoveries leading to unlocks of new quests and visible changes throughout the map and especially around the homestead. You will play an even bigger hand in developing the land.
Bug fixes and performance optimization
Work continues on ensuring the game is well optimized without sacrificing visual quality as well as fixing numerous bugs, this will also take some time due to the solo dev nature of the work.
I will hold new playtests so please do register for those so you can help shape the game!
If you can, please buy the game and leave a review, this will help massively to improve the experience. All future updates and content will of course be entirely free!
Thank you,
Cal, Arcadian Days Developer
