Early Access 2 - Soft Launch Tuesday
Just as a heads up, Early Access 2 will have a soft launch on Tuesday! Soft Launch? Well, I'm calling it that. A chunk of the Early Access 02 content won't be in this version (namely the second half of Chapter 2), but there will be new content as well as all the underlying updates and all the new features and engine changes. This means everyone will be receiving the new graphics engine, new data engine, combat improvements, new UI menus, new equipment forging and so much more. (There will be some bugs but they should be minor!) Major Features
On a personal note TL;DR: Sorry for the long delay between versions. Everything is fixed now and it won't happen again. I want to apologize for the longer than expected delay between EA1 and EA2. I have been generally frustrated with how much time it has taken. There were a lot of reasons for the delay between the versions - the biggest and most egregious is that some of the code in Arakion was just really REALLY old. I was torn between continuing to develop with deprecated code or redoing it. The decision was made for me when a new Unity version launched back in 2018 and substances (what Arakion used for textures) no longer functioned. I was left with the choice to no longer upgrade Arakion with new versions of Unity, or fix my code so that it would be more agile and future proof. Since I plan on releasing 3 dungeon crawlers in the Arakion world, the choice ended up being easy. I spent months going through and fixing all of that. None of this is an excuse for the delay between the versions, it's just an explanation. Arakion has 1 core developer and 1 part-time 3D developer, so even though I thought it could be done quickly, it ended up taking a long time. Moving forward, Arakion is ready to rock! Starting Tuesday, you will be getting new updates every 2 weeks and a major update every 3 months. Additionally, Arakion will begin introducing seasonal events, so look for them soon! Get ready! If you have any comments or questions, drop them below and I'll respond as soon as I see them! Have a wonderful day!
