Hey Everyone!
I'm glad to see so many people enjoying Arakion! I have been closely following feedback and wanted to share a list with you of intended improvements as I wait for my comp to get back up and running.
Early Access 02 will primarily focus on general gameplay improvements. Generally, I update weekly, but because of the need to upgrade to Unity 2018, and my computer frying, this update will hopefully launch in two weeks. The good news is - this gives us a lot of time to chat about what you'd like to see improve the game!
( I will update this list as more things are added or removed)
Early Access 02 Plans:
Increased starting HP. This will help reduce early combat difficulty.
Smoother positional-rotation when using camera to rotate.
Early access to Town/Town Building. Players will gain access to the Sanctuary earlier.
Story - Arakion has a large story to tell, it needs to be made more clear.
Slower player rotation (Q & E)
Faster player movement (WASD)
Beefing up Recruits. Giving recruits their own set of attacks & skills.
Remove 'Dancing'. Implementing some features to begin removing it as a playstyle. I'd love to hear any suggestions.
Overall tightening of controls.
Formations. Formations allow each member to be in a front-mid-back position. Each position will have its own strength and weakness. (This is implemented in code just need to give players access)
Update to Unity 2018. For Linux users who have experienced crashing, it appears to be an internal Unity error with 2017.3. Unfortunately, Unity deprecates a major graphical component that Arakion uses in 2018 so this could add 1 week to the EA02 dev cycle.
Secondary save slot - Each profile will have one automated save and one manual save slot to choose from. You will still always start at the last position you rested!Please remember Arakion launched in Early Access for a reason! I really want to improve the game through your feedback, so if you have something you'd like to see? Share it below, this is what Early Access is about!
Have a wonderful day!
