Hey everyone! We are still working to make the rida experience better and better. That's why we released an update today to fix issues identified by you! We at Aoca thank everyone for the constant feedback we received! Check out the full list of Patch 1.0.3

Optimization

We made improvements in the game engine, resulting in a better framerate, especially for those who were struggling to play with better graphic qualities. If you still encounter problems running the game, please contact us via the Steam forum.

Sound Fixes

We balanced the volume of some sounds that were not consistent with the desired experience. And we add others. We also fixed some SFXs that didn't play when they should, and added more typical backland birds, which makes the ambience better!

Achievements

We fixed some Steam achievements. You will now receive the notifications correctly. Will you be able to complete them all?

Scene Improvements

We made adjustments to some transitions of the scenes. In this way, important moments of the game became visually smoother.

Languages

We reviewed the text in both available languages, and now everyone in the backlands speaks properly, in English and Portuguese! If you still find something in the texts, feel free to contact us. If you find any errors, report them through a Steam thread. Tell us what you think about the news!

Release

Indie Singleplayer

Equipped to venture out

To survive in the backlands you will need some equipment. Use the machete and hoe for essential actions such as getting water, opening paths or cutting a corn crop. But do not forget to have a handful of grindstones because blunt equipment is of no use!

Get ready with recipes

To live in the backlands you need to be wise. The fauna and flora are unusual, so try to learn the recipes available for crafting with the typical items of the region. Maybe one day you need to cross the backlands ...

Interact to survive

Hunger and thirst can be very cruel in the backlands during the drought. Ask for help for the elders of your village and solve their quests to get some water and food.

Explore to know

Explore the aridest regions to learn more about the backlands and find the resources you need to stay on your way. A full inventory is always a good idea!

Stories to learn

The Brazilian Backlands is a special place, with many stories that would only happen there. Venture out to search for the collectible lost objects and find out more about the legends of the backlands.

The drought this time came much stronger and changed the daily life here in backlands. Many plantations were lost, animals died and families abandoned their homes. It is in this scenario that Cícera lives, a curious young girl who uses the advice of her grandfather and other villagers to learn how to survive and strengthen herself to face the drought and realize her greatest dream: exploring the backlands to reunite with her parents.

Arida: Backland's Awakening is the first of three games that will tell about Cicera's journey in the Brazilian Backlands of the nineteenth century. Follow our social networks of Aoca Game Lab to stay connected in the news of the Arida project. Come and build this story with us!

We are an indie team of 8 developers from Brazil. We deeply believe in the expressive power of games and are driven by the desire to communicate the values that we believe through the projects we develop. Arida is our first project and it is an immense pleasure for us to share it with you.
