Another simple update this week, as we finished the battle stages for our demo. As you may not know, when you run into an enemy, it switches to a battle view with you vs. the enemy group (like most turn based games), an…

Work continues on our demo. Please remember, and spread the news that it is a completely unique adventure, separate from the main Ancients of Arkar. It's like downloading a free, high quality RPG. Regarding the work thi…

AoA Weekly #18 - Events set in motion...
Another crazy week here at the Corren house, but we managed to get halfway done with the story cutscenes/gameplay in this chapter. And we got a slew of new sprites! Usually when Bro A is making the cutscenes (that's me)…

AoA Weekly #14 - Overall Improvements
This week was another pass on the levels we made, and we can honestly say they're good to go. They've all been made to equal in quality - earlier, if you found some of the 'lamer' ones, it bogged down the pacing. That's…
