Hey everyone,
I’ve just released a new demo update for Arkansas 2025, now at version 2.3. This update focuses on improving gameplay feel, polishing visuals, and making a number of changes based on feedback and testing.
Here’s what’s new:
Gameplay & Controls
Improved camera controls – the camera no longer moves diagonally.
When aiming a weapon, a red crosshair cursor now appears to clearly indicate your target.
World & Visual Updates
Updated the entrance to Clearwater:
Added a barrel near the gate
The guard now stands on the left side holding a shotgun
A “Clearwater” sign has been placed above the entrance
Updated the appearance of Barnabas
During the fight at the gas station, the roof above the pumps now disappears
Characters & Story Changes
Barnabas’ wife has been replaced with his son
The doctor in Clearwater now gives a quest to collect cactus flowers instead of roots
Creatures & Items
The fruit previously known as Mutapple has been renamed to Kalumo Fruit
Cactus areas with flowers no longer spawn large scorpions (Goldraxy); instead, you will encounter 3 wolves
System & Feedback Improvements
When picking up items, the console now displays what was collected
Fixed various smaller bugs and issues
I’m also excited to announce that the full version of Arkansas 2025 will be released on April 24th, priced at $4.99.
This project is being developed solo, so every bit of feedback really helps shape the game. Thanks for playing the demo and supporting Arkansas 2025.
More updates coming soon.
