Hi everyone! Some of you may already know that Galdra Studios is a women-led studio. Over half of our team are women and the studio was co-founded by Mette, who sought to create a game that was about people rather than characters; where you are encouraged to be who you want to be, instead of who you need to be, in order to "win" the game
We are super thrilled to be part of the the WINGS Women's Day Sale. WINGS invests in indie games where women and marginalized gender developers hold key positions, and their mission is to improve representation and diversity in game development; a vision that we share at Galdra Studios Arcadia Fallen will be on sale at 55% off for the first time during the Women's Day Sale and we'd love to encourage you all to take a look at the many games on sale by women-led and diverse teams Cheers, The Galdra Team

Hi everyone! As the rainy summer season cools down our overheated office, July was a month spent chilling out after the mad rush of mailing out all the Kickstarter rewards. Family has been visited and ice cream eaten and were now ready and energized for a new month that starts with a really fun event: the opening of our merchandise shop! With the Kickstarter coming to a close, weve been working hard on opening up a webshop where those who didn't have the chance to back the campaign can buy some of the merchandise, including the adorable Mime Plushie! Daniel had a lot of fun setting up the site so it looks fresh and sparkly and we hope youll give it a look. Theres even an opening celebration discount on the plushie!

Hi everyone! During our Valentine's Week Sale, I also wanted to take the opportunity to announce that the game is now available on PlayStation 5 & PlayStation 4 and will be coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on the 22nd of February!
We did the porting of this in-house with our tiny team and have been looking forward to sharing our hard work with everyone who picks the game up for PlayStation! We are two weeks into our mime Mime Plushie Kickstarter campaign, and with another two weeks left the plushie has already been funded! We're both relieved and excited that the plushie will become a reality, and if you haven't gotten a plushie for yourself already, there's still plenty of time to do so and help us raise money for additional merchandise rewards. With the next stretch goal, we can afford to give everyone a Quinn Sticker!

We're out in Japan!

Arcadia Fallen has now been available in Japanese for almost a week and we hope everyone has enjoyed their time in Anemone Valley! We did an interview with Shinyuden, who has been supporting us from Japan! You can find the interview below https://www.shinyuden.com/2022/11/16/-galdra-studios-/ Its in Japanese, but Google does a fine job of translating it into English Thank you so much to everyone whos supported us this past year by buying and sharing our game! Heres to another magical year together! Cheers, The Galdra Team

[ 2022-11-23 14:24:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone! We just released a small update that adds some minor improvements to the game!

Version 1.2.3

• Characters that cannot appear in a scene will no longer be preloaded, significantly reducing memory allocation and usage in most scenes, while making sure characters are ready for when they need to appear. Best of both worlds!
• Fixed an issue with banter sometimes not playing correctly when returning to the map, since the previous update.
• Fixed an issue where being presented with multiple choices for a location on the map could cause banter to skip forward.

We hope everyone is enjoying their time in Anemone Valley! Cheers, The Galdra Team

[ 2022-11-18 16:16:17 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone! We just released the second major update for Arcadia Fallen! Please read below for the full details

Version 1.2.2

Japanese Language Support

We are happy to announce that Arcadia Fallen is now available in Japanese! Adding localization to the game has been a huge undertaking by the team, but a year after the game's initial release it is finally ready! To everyone who's been waiting, thank you so much for your patience and we hope you'll enjoy our game!

Game Improvements

The game now features a splash screen on start up, so players won't wait on a white screen indefinitely if their computer is taking a while to load the game.

Error Fixes

• Improved preloading of scene to reduce potential stall time before first dialog is displayed after loading or starting a new game.
• Fixed a rare issue where the player character would sometimes appear to wear a flower crown in the text log or offscreen portraits, when they shouldnt.
• Fixed a rare issue where banter with people not in your party could appear when returning to the map.
• Fixed a potentially rather severe memory leak caused by faulty operation cleanup when a scene was aborted. Say, if the game was waiting for a character to enter before continuing the story when it was aborted, the operation for the character to enter would be cancelled properly, but the waiting operation to continue the story would never be cancelled.

Tomorrow will be the game's first-year anniversary! A big thank you to everyone who has played our game in the past year and we are looking forward to bringing you more! The Galdra Team mime

Hi everyone! We just released an update in preparation for the Japanese release of the game! The demo for the game will soon be made available with Japanese a head of its full release, and we wanted to make sure they both reflect the most recent improvements made to the game.

1.2.0 Prepatch

Game Improvements

• The text log now better reflects how a character looked at the time an entry was logged.
• Controls for turning a wheel in the alchemy table counterclockwise is no longer displayed when the player is not mixing ingredients, as this was causing some confusion for players while they were placing ingredients into the table.
• Using back/return actions when choices are displayed for the map of the town will now close the choices and return players to the location selection.
• Improved location indication for the town map.
• Improved performance, in particular for scenes with multiple light sources.

Error Fixes

• Fixed an issue with portrait not being displayed properly for a character in the text log, if dialog was shown while the character wasn't visible in the scene.
• Fixed an issue with incorrect tone label for a choice in chapter 2.
• Fixed an issue where potions would have a potion had an incorrect description during the tutorial.
• Fixed an issue where controller glyphs could be displayed incorrectly after closing the game menu.
• Fixed an issue with act titles and sub titles not being properly aligned to the center of the screen.
• Fixed an issue where the choice header would sometimes appear when it shouldn't.
• Fixed an issue where the same screen size could appear in the selection multiple times for graphical options.
• Fixed an issue where incorrect controls would be displayed for the alchemy collection, when opened from the game menu.
• Fixed an issue where the extras menu could incorrectly change its width on screens that did not have a 16:9 aspect ratio.
• Fixed an issue where ingredients would sometimes do a double shake when selected using a controller.
• Fixed a rare issue where the player character could enter the scene with an incorrect appearance at the start of a scene.
• Fixed a rare issue where loading a game could cause characters to enter the scene with incorrect poses and expressions, or the wrong townsfolk would enter the scene.
• Fixed an issue on Steam Deck and Linux where the splash screen sound would sometimes play without the video being displayed.

Thank you so much to everyone who's helped us improve the game by reporting errors We wish to keep improving on the game for as long as we can before moving on to other projects, so please don't hesitate to share any errors you might find with us here on Steam or on our Discord at https://discord.gg/h5QUdmc Cheers, The Galdra Team mime

[ 2022-08-11 13:11:21 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone! We just released the first major update for Arcadia Fallen! Please read below for the full details

New Content

Story

Mette has springled the game with more than 50 new lines and reactions from characters as you progress through the story that are triggered by the choices and friendships you make along the way, to make every playthrough even more special and unique, and provide a welcome freshness to anyone who were to replay the game in the future.

Voice Over

A few previously unused voice over clips for Rune and Ann have also been introduced to the game.

New Features

Text Log

The game now has a text log that tracks the latest up to 100 entries of dialogue and choices! It remembers the tone-label of choices and the pose and expressions of characters. From the text log, players will also be able to replay the voice over of previously spoken lines.

Ascend Outfit Color

Players can now select a second color for their outfit. For the long masculine hairstyle, the second outfit color also changes the color of the hairtie. All players with an existing playthrough will be able to change their outfit colors from the options menu.

Minigames

Alchemy

Volatile Ingredient and Empowered Ingredient texts now appear with the exact same shimmering colors in tutorial text as the orbs in the table, to better connect the terms to their respective elements in the alchemy table. When a mixture explodes, the ingredients that caused the explosion will now flare up before it happens, making it less abrupt while also giving players a better indication of what caused the explosion. A bookmark has been added to the alchemy book, which gives access to previous tutorials and allows players to read up on new rules for the alchemy minigame after they have become more familiar with them.

Safe Puzzle

Players who are having trouble with the safe puzzle can now call on Ann ann for assistance.

Subtitles

An option to show subtitles for the intro video has been added.

Other Changes

Audio

Audio levels have been adjusted throughout the game. Most prominently, voice over volume for Mime, Morgan, Quinn, and Ronan has been adjusted to make voice over volume significantly more even.

Controls

Controller glyphs are now displayed for PC, similar to how they are displayed for Nintendo Switch, and supports all Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox controllers. Glyphs will also be displayed for some keyboard and mouse controls, such as the controls for turning wheels counterclockwise. Touch controls have been improved throughout the game. An option to adjust the auto-advance speed of unspoken dialogue has been added to better accommodate different reading speeds.

Graphics

Players can now see the most prominent personality traits their character picks up throughout their journey in the save file preview, to give players a better overview of their playthroughs. The alchemy book now sports a new blue color to make it slightly different from the save files book. When accessing the companion menu through the game menu, players will now be able to scroll through past entries for every companion. The selection indicator for the map has been improved with white outline to make it easier to tell which location is selected while using a controller or keyboard controls.

Error Fixes

Fixed an issue where Goldner's dialogue portrait was being displayed too low on the screen. Fixed an issue where the close animation for the alchemy book could play twice. Fixed an issue where a few voice over clips would not be played properly. Fixed an issue where saving right when the screen had faded to white or black during a scene could cause the scene to not play correctly after being loaded. Fixed an issue where the parallax effect for the background image would not scroll correctly. If you experience any other issues, please don't hesitate to let us know either here on Steam or on our Discord server! Cheers, The Galdra Team

Version 1.0.5

• Fixed a rare issue where Ann's ann emote speech bubble would sometimes be askew.
• Fixed an issue where background parallax could cause the background to disppear outside the screen.
• Fixed an issue with background parallax stopping abruptly instead of moving smoothly when cursor was near the edge of the screen.

Arcadia Fallen has won the Editor's Choice Award for Best Narrative at IndieDB Indie of the Year Awards 2021! We are incredibly proud and honored to have been selected for this reward! [quote=Kralich/David, IndieDB]Visual novels are all about experiencing a story first-hand. Sometimes you're a nameless face of ambiguous gender; sometimes you're a set character inhabiting a mostly defined personality with a little wriggle room here or there. Arcadia Fallen, however, presents something for everyone - quite literally! Decisions are remarkably open-ended with a lot of different narratives to pursue, whilst the player character is greatly customisable regardless of where your gender identity sits. Special attention has been paid to inclusivity, with players of many orientations able to engage platonically or romantically with a cast of likeable, varied characters. Arcadia Fallen sets the bar for inclusive, player-driven visual novels. Kralich/David from IndieDB[/quote]

Hi everyone! We just released a small update to the game that fixes a few minor issues and adds something extra for players who manage to complete their alchemy collection!

Version 1.0.3

• Added a new setting to the Extras menu on the title screen for players who complete all alchemy challenges.
• Removed an impossible alchemy challenge from the game.
• Fixed an issue with the [spoiler]alternative solution to sedating the guard in chapter 1[/spoiler] not being registered correctly, which meant some parts influenced by this choice could not be reached properly.
• Fixed an issue where a male villager could appear instead of [spoiler]Marie in chapter 2[/spoiler].
• The Master Alchemist and Perfect Crime achievements can now be properly completed.

Cheers, The Galdra Team

In the past few days we've asked the community for questions about the game, and in this video we'll be answering some of the questions while showing some footage from the game! The Q&A session takes about 5 minutes and is followed by a preview of voice acting in the game, starting with a 2 minute trailer and ending with approx. 20 minutes of gameplay from the demo. The video loops every 31 minutes, giving everyone an opportunity to hear from the developers and watching the gameplay preview from the beginning. This is a rerun of Sunday's video to allow people who didn't have a chance to watch it then another opportunity to do so now!
