New quest design which will make progress even more involved and interesting. The core of Arcadian Days will always remain the same, which is non-linear exploration with very little handholding, but a lot of work has been put in ensuring they have a logical and satisfying structure.
Moshia Dragobete main hub has been redesigned, being more spacious. It will be a bit empty initially as you will solve quests to improve the homestead.
Animals are still in very early alpha, but you will see some new unspoken friends roaming around the maps and can even interact with some! A much requested fan addition.
New materials and constructions throughout the maps that comes with some redesigns! You will need to complete quests and collect some resources to make constructions that will unlock new areas, making your actions more involved. Also a very requested feature, I want to give players a clearer sense of progression and involvement during gameplay.
More ruins to explore!
Zuzuiata Hills will go through a big redesign so it will not be available during the update, but will return along with a new map in August!
And so many more surprises.

This is just the beginning of the journey as so many more updates, maps and gameplay elements are planned, and we want to get you involved! Please join the Arcadian Days Discord or growing Instagram to leave your ideas and feedback! I read through all of them and will try to reply to everyone.

60% off during Steam Summer Sale!

Grab arcadian Days for a 60% discount all the way to 9th of July! As I am still a solo developer with no publisher or outside funding, all the money from the game goes into developing it and making it better.

Thank you very much,

Cal, Developer of Arcadian Days
