We’ve been super busy behind the scenes the past few months working on some major updates for ANIMO Stars Arena, and we’re excited to start sharing more with you here on Steam going forward.

From streams, demos and trailers to exclusive community giveaways, we have lots in the pipeline and we’re passionate about keeping everyone who wishlists the game up to speed on all things ANIMO Stars Arena on the road to launch!






We’re really excited to share some brand new gifs of our new art style in action! The team have been hard at work creating a really distinct look for ANIMO Stars Arena, from the visual style of the maps, to how each pilot looks in-game, and we’re pleased to share some exclusive new shots of this update here for the Steam community.

Competitions, streams, demos and trailers

The next few months are going to be jam packed with ANIMO updates ranging from exclusive giveaways, new trailers and the game being featured in some really exciting events (stay tuned for more news on this!) We're also gearing up for players to get their first hands on experience with the game too, so keep an eye on our social media and Steam for what's in store very soon.

Hey everyone!

First off would like to thank everyone for wishlisting and playing the alpha build! It was great to hear all the positive feedback, I'm so glad ACRES is being well received.

With feedback and suggestions noted, I have been hard at work this week implementing feature requests and quality of life improvements. Changes in the upcoming patch include:


Seed bins are now upgradable after they have been built. This allows players to increase their seed storage capacities without having to build multiple bins of the same type. The bins are fully upgradeable to their max level of 8; With the same costs as building new bins. Multiple bins of the same type are also still supported for those interested.

The current cost and acres worth of seeds for each level are as follows:

1. $369 : 4
   
2. $580 : 8
   
3. $1200 : 16
   
4. $1800 : 32
   
5. $3100 : 64
   
6. $4200 : 128
   
7. $5000 : 256
   
8. $6900 : 512

To accommodate all kinds of players, ACRES now has selectable game mode or difficulty options on the start of a new game. In addition to the original Normal and Endless modes, now available are Calm and Challenge modes. The main difference between Normal, Calm and Challenge are the amount of crops requested in each order and the amount of time given to complete the order. For a full breakdown, be sure to watch the latest ACRES devlog.

• Calm For hobby farmers and those looking to unwind. Simplified order quantities with minimized time constraints.
  
• Normal For market growers looking for success. Standard order quantities with a gradual increase in time pressure.
  
• Challenge For the seasoned farm manager looking to be tested. Market demand exceeds availability, escalating time pressure.
  
• Endless Farm without pressure and sell crops directly out of storage. No orders, no time requirements.

When crops a ready for a harvesting, along with crop animations, Indicators now show to help with night / weather visibility and spotting while zoomed out. The indicators are also helpful for smaller crops that are easy to miss when the acres start to grow.


To reduce the amount of scrolling, the seed selection menu is now 2 columns wide. Full controller navigation is still supported. Thanks to those who made this suggestion, the menu is now much more manageable in a hurry with all the seed types.

• Increase in fertilizer N-P-K values
  
• Increased water gained during rain events
  
• Backup and support to load previous autosave files
  
• World UI widgets for tractor control device and seed bins
  
• Seed bins and tractor barns are now destroyable
  
• Bugfix for order progress bars not updating after fast harvesting
  
• Support to save custom key bindings
  
• Default speed keyboard bindings changed to F1, F2, F3
  
• Option to escape build mode and have no active tool selected. Exit current tool is mapped to the pause input action with default keybinding ESC. Pressing ESC a second time with pause the game. This behavior does not affect controller/gamepad input. Option can be turned on/off in the game settings menu.

Thanks again for the support and interest in ACRES! We're are very excited about the progress and can't wait for launch.

After a year of continuous improvements driven by community’s feedback, we’re delighted to finally release the v1.0 of Warstride Challenges on Steam! Our small team is more than thankful for your support! Now, get ready to blast demons in satisfying fast-paced one-minute massacres!

Note: This update is for the Steam Deck Beta and Preview channels, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > System Update Channel.

The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

Remote Play

• Fixed device authorization dialog not showing if Steam Link connects while Steam is starting up

Steam Input

• Added the ability to bind Steam Input API trigger actions to button inputs

Finding a publisher, starting my own company and then going to gamescom - all while still working on the game. It was a lot, but totally worth it!

I've decided to partner up with Hooded Horse to release Super Fantasy Kingdom. If you don't know who Hooded Horse is, they are a publisher for strategic indie games, and have quite a lineup of games already.

This doesn't change anything on how the game is being developed, or what vision I have for the game. Where they will be helping me out is with marketing, QA, localization and production support. That will allow me to really focus on making Super Fantasy Kingdom an amazing game.



It totally blew my mind that SFK got exhibited at gamescom. And I finally met some of you. Seeing the enthusiasm for my work with my own eyes was just surreal. I also saw a lot of people play the game for the first time. And of course I learned a lot from that!

Now back to the game.

There were a lot of updates, but the biggest recent addition is the faith skill tree.



It allows you to decide wether to focus combat, economy or production. As with all parts of the game those priorities will also change based on your general progression.

Next I want to rework how meat works to make it more simple and consistent. You can join that discussion over on Discord!
