Arena of the Gods is now available for purchase on Steam! Also, along with the steam release comes A LOT of improvements since our last update so here's all the changes!
- Spooky, Scary Dungeons!
Removed the old, bland main menu, in place of a lil' spooky dungeon that better fits the game's tone. This scene will also act as a shop in later updates.
- *Click* *Click* *Tap*
Removed the old user interface, in place of one that better fits the game's tone. No more ugly blue background!
- The Sound Of Music
Added actual music to the main menu(instead of the never-ending choir going “ahhhhhhh...”), and Multiple possible battle themes to listen to while fighting in the arena. When one track finishes, it will fade into the other. Added new sound effects to all weapon/enemy interactions such as sounds when a player hits an enemy, or when an enemy's spell is destroyed, etc. You can now hear rushing water as you get closer to the waterfall, and gusts of wind in the center of the arena.
- Pretty Pretty, Shiny Shiny
Added visual effects to add clarity/feedback to player actions. Sparks fly when an arrow strikes a wall, or if a player hits an enemy. Destroyed demons now burst into clouds of darkness. Spells explode violently when striking the player or when their caster is destroyed etc.
- B.K. Have It Your Way!
Added a options menu so that players can adjust graphics settings, pause the game or return to the main menu.
- Remote Control
Added Xbox controller support. Pressing 'Select' activates the controller in-game.
- Where There Is Dark, There Is Light
Added a Day/Night cycle to the arena to show the passage of time and lower visibility at night.
- Wait, That's Not Right
In previous versions of arena of the gods, the health bar wasn't correctly showing the amount of health the player had. It does now though. :)
- Illumination
The scene lighting has been greatly improved in quality. Also, the lighting updates with the time of day, lowering visibility at night, and increasing it in the daytime.
- More Zoom Levels Than The Hubble Telescope
Added the ability to zoom in and out with the scrollbar. Zooming out is especially useful when scouting for enemies or when using ranged weapons. Zooming in is especially useful for melee characters.
That's all for now! Have fun, and I'll see you in our next update!
