This is something I wanted to have much earlier in Arcadian Days and now we have an initial system that will serve hints for players. It is not a traditional quest log as Arcadian Days is still a game that encourages curiosity and exploration, but this new system should make it more engaging to go about the world.

New adventures and collectibles

Help Dada fix some broken structures, grow the forest in Ult and Find the Dacian relics, and some flowers to grow a flower garden!

Improved Fast Travel

Fast travel will be improved and more accessible. You will still need to build the Popases in order to unlock a fast travel destination.

Lite Resource Gathering Activities

To add further depth to the gameplay, you will now have to gather 'Alpin Branches' to build Popases and other constructions. They grow in very specific places throughout the environments so keep an eye out for them!

New Environment - Campul Luj

You can now visit the tutorial area, significantly expanded and home to its own set of curiosities and activities.

The tutorial area has also been heavily modified to better onboard players.

Auto-Saving

Arcadian Days will use an auto-save system from the next update, while also giving you the option to save when exiting the game.

Lots of Bug Fixing

Many bugs should now be fixed particularly regarding quests not progressing properly and save game issues.

Other Changes :

  • Arcadian Days has been updated to Unreal Engine 5.7, expect a significant performance improvement.

  • Most items in the inventory now have placeholder images.

  • Dialogue tree should now be a bit more intuitive and easy.

  • Improved vegetation and more vibrance to the world.

  • Nighttime has been removed, to be replaced soon by Miela's Dreams.

  • And other secrets

Many new updates are planned, please continue to support us by buying the game and leaving a review! I will let you know when the update will be ready! - Cal
