Shattered Haven -- Another Upcoming Project

[Oralordos]

Do we have an estimated beta release time for this? Because some people won't accept money until they have something to give in return.

I think we're still shooting for hopefully next month. But, there really are too many balls still up in the air to be able to give an accurate timeline.

[Oralordos]

That's okay. I figured the most accurate answer I got would be a month long range.

Work on it is proceeding well, but there's definitely a lot of stuff to get fixed up before we go beta. We're getting a complete art overhaul, I don't know if I mentioned -- that's almost 2/3 done now, but still more to go. Probably we're looking at 3-4 weeks on both the code, levels, and art being at a beta state. Then after that it's mostly more levels, more enemies, etc. we already have about 80 enemies and some 20+ enemies, though.

I think you mean about 80 levels? and 20+ enemies? Otherwise, why haven't I seen these other enemies?

[Aklyon]

The other enemies are hiding behind the unfinished parts?

[x4000]

Yeah, 80 levels. Oops!

The moment you said "Alden Ridge" I took out my wallet and then was sad that I can't give you my money yet.

I know everything is focusing on AI War and AVWW right now, at least looking at the delivery dates it seems that is where the focus would be. And they really look like they are looking good.    With the new art for Valley 2 and getting ready for release for Ancient Shadows... But I am really excited about Shattered Haven and am hoping soon you'll have something to show off for it as well, or would it be better to wait until it is almost finished cooking?

Anyway, not to take away from the other projects, because although I lose a lot at AI War, I still plan to buy the expansion, I think I have this completionist kind of thing going on, haha. Oh and by the way, when was the last time I ever saw a single dev team juggling 3 projects at once? Like NEVER. 

Y'all are awesome as we say in the south. 

Later and hope to hear good news when its a good time.

Shattered Haven is still coming along well! We're going to be delaying the beta of this until late November at the earliest, though. Just too much going on! But work is proceeding well on this in terms of art, story, code, and level design every week. We have some awesome new shadows as part of the visuals that really make it pop, I think.

Glad to hear you guys aren't over working yourselves trying to meet dates. I get the feeling that Arcen is becoming quite the seasoned development house now, and it's good to see you acting on the side of caution and quality.

[keith.lamothe]

Caution? Not sure about that

But we're learning, yea.

[Teal_Blue]

Thanks for the update, nice to hear things are progressing well.

[Deekay]

I am eager to play this, from what I have seen and read it looks like something I will really enjoy. But it is nice to hear that you guys aren't rushing
the game and are taking the time to realize your vision for the project.

Kudos guys, and the very best of luck with the development. Keep us posted when you have new information!
