June 2023 Update

Welcome back to another Arcadian Atlas update as we creep ever closer to release!

This month we have a sneak peak at our final advanced class: Reaver, along with some of the finishing touches as we draw closer to our Gold build!

Squashing Bugs and Picking Fonts

As we near gold, we're doing some of the final stage polish and bug squishing, putting a fine sheen on everything and seeing it come to vivid life! A few of the highlights:

Bugs:

We're now up to 270 bugs squashed just in the last 2 months alone - Paddy has been fixing them as quickly as we can find them. A huge thanks to everyone who play tested builds at GDC, Pax East, and Steam Fest - your bug reports have been invaluable to finding and squishing those quickly!

Localization:

we've begun testing out some lovely fonts for Japanese, Chinese, and Russian fonts, as well as adding specialized characters to all our current fonts to ensure accent marks and other special characters are fully supported!

Achievements:

We've completed testing of achievement unlocks for all 40 unlockable achievements to ensure their triggers are all in place and functioning properly!

Polish:

And last but certainly not least, we've refined many aspects of the game including a revamp of the Title Screen and logos, with 29 tutorials, over 30 tavern chatter entries, over 80 cutscenes, and over 40 compendium entries - this is well and truly a labor of love come to life!

The Reaver

The Reaver lives their life in the shadows, mastering the art of one-on-one combat and quickly slinking back into stealth to survive another day. Those studied in the Dagger Arts tree have honed their reflexes with tiny blades, delivering a flurry of blows to deal status effects with every strike, while those of the Hired Assassin tree favor critical backstabs and recruiting the shadows to fight for them, leaving their foes broken both physically and mentally.

Delaying Strike

Need to push a unit further back in the turn order to perfectly time a delayed skill? Delaying Strike does just that, while also dealing damage!

Heart Stop

While it doesn't deal much damage, Heart Stop is guaranteed to inflict Stun Status on a foe, ensuring they miss their next turn.

Smoke Screen

Not all traps are bad! The Reaver's Smoke Screen actually bestows a huge bonus to EVADE on any friendly units ending their turn in its radius.

Backstab

While the SP cost is high, Backstab is a hugely powerful skill guaranteed to critical against the Reaver's target.
