After careful consideration, I decided to retire the Arcade version. It was starting to cause confusion with the main Burning Skies game, and as a solo developer, it’s difficult to properly support two separate versions at the same time.

Burning Skies Arcade was originally created as a simpler experience meant to represent the full game, but I also wanted it to be more engaging than the typical “epilogue-style” versions some games offer.

Over time, the main game evolved into something much bigger and different, which made the Arcade version less aligned with what Burning Skies has become.

It was still an important step in this journey. I learned a lot from it, and since then I’ve significantly improved the overall experience, and as a gamedev.
