WISHLIST THE GAME NOW!

To celebrate the first anniversary of its spinoff prequel Shadows on the Vatican: Nightingale, we are pleased to announce SHADOWS ON THE VATICAN – ACT III: SLOTH, the highly anticipated next full installment of our classic-styled point-and-click adventure series coming to PC on Steam in 2023.

Corruption dwells in the darkness at the highest levels of the Catholic Church, as a small but powerful cabal is covertly pulling the strings behind the most pivotal aspects of Italian society. In the penultimate act of the four-part religious conspiracy thriller set in Italy, ex-priest James Murphy and the paid assassin named Silvia must put aside their differences and join forces to expose the “Suits” before becoming their latest victims.

Alternating control between James and Silvia, players will explore a variety of beautifully illustrated locations across Rome, which look better than ever thanks to completely restyled hand-drawn graphics and redesigned animations.

And if you are still missing any of the games published so far, the series bundle is on sale!

Hello Arcadians,

I am happy to announce a bunch of new content and QOL changes coming to Arcadius on July 28th and as well as future content coming at the end of August!




With this upcoming update players will now be able to play on private servers there are 2 options, Friends only & Private. Friends only will allow you to invite friends via steam to your own instance of the game. Private is essentially single player where no one can bother you.

*Active Internet connection still required.




There are now 3 factions in the game Logger, Miner & Fisher faction. Selling specific items to these factions will reward Exp towards your faction level. An increased level in a faction will yield account-wide bonuses for the said faction. Factions will also play an important role in upcoming updates.




As an indie developer, the most important thing to me is community say. There are now polling booths around the island of Arcadius, Where players can vote on future content updates, changes, and adjustments to the game. Players can only vote once per account per poll. But they will receive in-game gold for casting their vote. You will be able to see in real-time what the community wants or doesn't want.



You will now see what's new & what was changed when you log into a new update for the first time.


• Molten Bar
• Bismuth Bar
• Onyx Bar


You can now inspect a player and view a bunch of their stats.

• Sailor Set
  
• Lumberjack Set
  
• Bunwear Set
  
• Dapper Set
  
• Hiko Kimono Set
  
• Spacewear Set

• New Bars
• Added Factions
• Added Player Inspection
• Added Polling Stations
• Added Patch Notes
• Added Private Servers
• Added Total Level
• Added Faction Bonuses
• UI Adjustments
• New Lighting
• New Shaders
• Potion Buff
• New Cosmetic Sets
• Shop Changes
• Added 3 new NPCs
• Bug Fixes
+ more

Enjoy!
Atlas.

We look forward to everyone playing the game! :)

The blue guy, named Stan, is a physically simulated character, also known as an "active ragdoll". An active ragdoll is basically a ragdoll with motor skills: He is constantly figuring out what muscular forces to apply to keep himself standing upright in response to gravity, collision, friction, impacts and whatever other physical challenges the world imposes. For example, if he is standing on an object that suddenly begins to move, you'll see him shift his weight to stay balanced, using his hands to get back on his feet if needed. If he is thrown into a wall - or a wall is thrown into him - he'll often brace for the impending impact by reaching in the direction it's coming from.

A challenge was making sure the character moves with the sort of agility you'd expect as a player. He still does things we don't anticipate: The character's abilities are not limited to what animations are available and can be improvised uniquely to the situation he is faced with.

• All author camouflages from trophies from the “Hot Tracks”, “Raining Fire”, “Ixwa Strike” and “New Power” updates now all have the same rarity: unusual (green).
  
• In connection with the change in the rarity of camouflages from trophies from the “Hot Tracks”, “Raining Fire”, “Ixwa Strike” and “New Power” updates, the conditions of exchange of camouflage coupons for vouchers on consoles have been updated in accordance with their new rarity.
  
• Conditions for earning the “True and Fable” achievement have been updated: now they allow for repeat completion of missions. This change will let the players who have completed some of the missions before the achievement was added to the game earn the achievement.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

Underworld has been updated 40 times since launch, but that's not all that's been happening.

Swords and Sorcery - Sovereign has also been in constant development and is looking like it'll be fit for release by the end of the year!

For now, here's a little teaser to help set the mood.



There will be a Steam page up soon for dedicated discussion, wishlisting and all those things that happen on Steam pages.

The Server used for Build8 was created almost 2 years ago. Normally I will just restart the server regularly without touching the config file. This time though, I delete the server and download the clean version of Build8 and it cannot start because I have to set the config file which I forget already.

So I brought the latest version on the ExperimentalBranch to the NormalBranch instead.








This version doesn't inherit from Build8 at all. So there are many features that are still missing. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

However, there is a new feature introduced, it is "Discord Semi-Proximity VoiceChat". It works like a Proximity VoiceChat but the volume is constant(not change according to the distance). The talking radius is around 5 meters. The system requires you to have Discord opened and logged in before you enter the game. The Push-to-Talk button is LeftAlt.

• It is built on Unreal Engine 5 (Build8 used Unreal Engine 4)
  
• Doesn't use Lumen yet(Lumen makes lighting more beautiful but can be a burden on lower-end machines)
  
• Doesn't use Nanite for the same reason and this feature will require a DirectX12-supported machine to run so I don't plan to use it anytime soon.
  
• Framerate is currently capped at 60 FPS until I create an options menu.
  
• I lower the resolution to 45% of the screen but add the SuperSampling as an Anti-Aliasing method. I expect a decent/good picture and smoother framerate.
  
• Require a DirectX11-supported machine to run. (Also update Graphic Driver to the latest version)

I will continue to accumulate new features on the ExperimentalBranch. The next version on the DefaultBranch will be called Build9 despite missing many features and gameplay I promised earlier. I will bring back "The Welcome Box" very soon. ːfuelcanː
