Contrary to what most people believe there are many ways to help in the battle against climate crisis!!!
This is why our offices are 100% solar-panel powered and we encourage our staff to ride bikes or public transportation to and from work, and we also don't use any plastic to create the most important developer fuel...coffee!!
We also plan on releasing a series of Argonisos branded merchandise (t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, wallets, etc.) via the Printify platform and we are choosing only products that are 100% eco-friendly and environmentally certified from our suppliers on Printify!
That way, the project Argonisos is almost 100% eco-friendly in its entirety!
Geia sou Hoplite!

Geia sas Hoplites!!!
Back on April this year we decided to switch away from Unity to Unreal Engine and given the latest news on Unity's new per install fee, we feel that we dodged a massive bullet, that could have probably mean the end of our studio down the line!!
Thank Zeus for that!!!
Now, with UE5.3 we are using the UE5.3 Nanite landscape and World Partition systems and performance has gone through the roof!!!
Now, not even our 25km x 25km open-world map isn't an issue anymore! Our tests played with 30+ fps and we haven't done almost any performance optimisation yet!
We are confident we will develop a gameplay experience of 40+ fps on medium specs PCs which we feel is a great starting point for a massive open-world game on Early Access!!
Of course, we will not rest until we hit that sweet 60fps spot!
Stay tuned for more!
Geia sas!

Hi Agroniseans!
We are moving our beloved game Argonisos, from Unity to Unreal Engine 5.1!
Why? Because Unity could not contain the experience we want to offer with this game!
Mainly, performance issues due to the large scale of Argonisos!
Therefore, we are moving the development process from Unity to Unreal Engine and we could not be any happier about it!
What you can expect with this move...?
Con (yes only one)
------
- A major delay in delivery. Approximately 4-6 months for a play-test version!
- An even larger open world map. We are building a map that will be 40x40 km. This means 1,600sqkm or for our Imperial friends 617.76sqml (that's both Hong Kong's and Guam's areas put together!!!)
- Higher quality graphics. Yes we are moving from low-poly to more detailed graphics. Screenshots will be uploaded Monday, April 10th.
- Better Multiplayer experience. Unreal Engine 5 offers much faster multiplayer management
- Quest-giving NPCs. Yes! There will be famous Figures from Ancient Greece scattered around the world, waiting to give you Quests for you to complete!
- Option for a randomly-generated World! Apart from playing in a replica map of Greece, you will have the option of creating a random world for you to explore!

Staying true to our mission from Zeus, we found a height-map of Greece an managed to create the open world of Argonisos in it!
This means that you can explore the Mythological Land of Argonisos in a 52:1 replica map of Greece!
...do you think you can discover all the hidden cities and gems we put in there for you?
Stay tuned for more!
