We are proud and excited to announce that Arcanium: Rise of Akhan will exit Early Access, and fully launch in 1.0 this Thursday September 22nd at 6am PT!
The price of the game will be increased at launch, so this is your last chance to purchase Arcanium: Rise of Akhan at the discounted Early-access price!
Version 1.2.2 makes for another maintenance update. We fixed a few more small bugs and made some stability changes that should improve the mobile experience. But of course we had to toss in a few new gems and an oddity just for fun :)
Three new gems can be crafted: Uranium, Platinum, Copper.
Seven new legendary/mythic gems will now drop in the Primal Lands.
New oddity available: Treasure Trasher.
Fixed some small bugs and reduced memory usage to improve crash rates.
Before I go I wanted to drop a quick plug for a new project I'm working on called Signy and Mino; It's a fighting game RPG! It's... much different than Soda Dungeon, but Soda Dungeon isn't going anywhere either. If you'd like to see an extended writeup about this, please see this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/sodadungeon/comments/vnoysr/the_future_of_soda_dungeon_and_my_new_game/
Signy and Mino doesn't have a Steam page yet, but feel free to check out some screens and progress over at https://twitter.com/SignyAndMino
Just a small patch to add a requested feature. I have made some changes to the game modes and the way they are named, DropZone is now "BattleRoyale Training" and Hunted has a "Hunted Training" mode, which will give you loadout selection, and limited respawns.
I wanted to push this out today (so soon!) so i can focus on a few big things for the next patch, which should be a new game mode Extraction! I've tested it as it was a simple change it seems good, but please let me know if you notice anything funky.
This can allow the game to be played at LAN's, *or* if you are playing single player it is another way to start a server that runs a bit better than the normal way.

Feel free to leave any feedback and comments! It would be also great if you want to make Let's Play videos!
With the upcoming season, we have an updated Server Grid Editor (SGE) available for unofficial servers.
IMPORTANT: All unofficial servers using (or plan on using) Ship in a Bottle must set up redis/s3 to store ship data. Direction listed below:
New SGE
To download the latest Server Grid Editor (SGE) click the the following link: SGE download
Ship In A Bottle Configuration
There are two options to set up the Ship in a Bottle info storage using either S3 or Redis database.
Redis Database:
1- To store the info in Redis you need to add the information for the redis table (make sure the table name is FileManagerDB).
2- You need to add this parameter to the server launch arguments -UseRedisForRemoteFileManagerStorage. This can be done by adding the argument to BaseServerArgs
S3:
1- To Use S3 simply add the S3 Credentials to the project settings.
2- Then click on the Ship Bottle Data button and the prefix info.
Finally for both options after the above steps you will need to export, so that info get parsed to ServerGrid.ServerOnly.json
Final Note
Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support! :)
