Hey Venturers!

It's time for another fantastical update! Today, I'm officially moving the Early Access 2 content into the [default] build. Players can and will always be able to switch to Early Access 1 by changing to the [ea1] build! Early Access 2 is still considered to be in beta but given the amount of content and engine changes, I felt it was time to move to the [default] branch. If you try to play EA2 with an EA1 save, there will be bugs! Please start a new save! After review, I'm expecting Early Access 2 to be in beta for another four weeks. This update primarily focuses on bug fixes and graphical optimizations. Updated builds: Windows Unity hasn't fixed my ability to use cloud builds, I have been attempting to create mac and Linux builds on my end without much success yet. I will be continuing to attempt to get a Linux and Mac build out. Be sure to check out the new Intro and first story cinematic here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Mn2iyqKClg Be sure to check the video for a preview of some graphical changes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS9xaPsXo8U&t=1s

For the immediate future, I will mostly be focusing on improving the current content in the game while slowly rolling out the final pieces of Chapter Two.

Chapter Two Hub: General visual enhancements, a lot of content will be added over the next two weeks.
Story Ennhancements: The first of many cinematics has been added for the story update!
Mob Skills: Some mobs have gained new skills as I continue to improve combat mechanics.
Graphic Optimizations: A lot of graphical optimizations have been implemented for the new and previous zones. Arakion currently runs at 100fps on my machine and should run reasonably well even on lower-end machines.
Bug fixes: Reported bugs have been fixed.

As noted above I am running a bit behind my schedule so please check for new dates!

Combat Improvements [2 weeks] - While this is only the start of things, a combat improvement patch will be rolling out to make combat in Arakion more enjoyable.

Story Enhancement [2 weeks] - Arakion has a wonderful story to tell and I want to make sure it is told. I have been frustrated with myself that a big part of Arakion that has been lacking is a coherent story and world progression. This will be changing soon - with this launch, areas in Chapter One and Chapter Two will be modified to work with this update.

Chapter Two Part Three [4 weeks] - The final part of Chapter Two, with this launch I will be moving from [beta] to full release and continuing updates on full release from then on. Oh, and there are some very very large lizards you're going to be fighting.

Turn Based Mechanics [6 weeks] - This is the highest priority after launching Chapter Two Part Three.

Have a wonderful day! Lavidimus

The Story

Play as three adventurers awoken in a world torn by conflict, where the lands and rivers have been ripped from the ground. In midst of this upheaval, there is but one desire - finding a place free from the conflict and chaos. In the search for order, your heroes must find a way to stop the destruction from continuing.

Between your intrepid adventurers and their goal exists a council of immortal beings. They are known as The Ancients. The Ancients wandered Arakion since before written history. Their plan is simple - utter annihilation for all who oppose them.

It's time to begin your story, will you be the world's salvation or destruction?

The Background
