A Valley Without Wind

Arcen Games | Released 2012

The Creators Of AI War Bring You... A 2D sidescroller without a linear path. An action game with tactical combat and citybuilding. An adventure game that lets you free-roam a vast, procedurally-generated world. A Valley Without Wind defies genre stereotypes. Unlike other procedurally-generated games, you also get a logical progression in difficulty, plus helpful tips and checklists to guide your travels (should you need them). Choose for yourself how to prepare to face the vastly stronger Overlord. Complete a variety of missions to earn new spells, and/or roam the wilds to uncover secret missions and stashes of magical crafting loot. Customize your characters with unique combinations of enchants and spells that change how you move, jump, and fight. Or rescue people and bring them back to your settlement so that they can then be sent on dispatch missions; you don't have to carry the burden of your fledgling civilization alone! You choose how to play, and the world adapts around you.

A trio of new updates bring new balance changes to A Valley Without Wind 2, and some new reviews/videos of the Valley franchise have surfaced among the latest press for Arcen's library of titles.

Valley 2 Official 1.005 "Fear Of Bats" Released!

This one addresses one and only one balance issue: shadow bats outside of The Deep, particularly on harder difficulties. These guys really could make the overlord's keep unwinnable in certain circumstances.

Valley 2 Official 1.006 "Five Tier Rejuvenation" Released!

This one addresses the balance between some of the mage classes; in particular, focusing on those at Tier 5.

Valley 2 Official 1.007 "Thorns In The Sink" Released!

This one tweaks a tiny bit more balance relating to the Thorncerer and the blast spells.

It also puts in some automatic re-syncing during multiplayer after each turn is advanced, after each time an NPC order is given, and after each time morale is lost due to a death. Desyncs were not common at all with the game, but recently one group of players were finding some sort of consistent cache of them. This automatic re-syncing should prevent central desyncs of all sorts (knock on wood), and is quite similar to something along these lines that we did for Skyward Collapse.

Enjoy!

These are all standard updates that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have any version of the game. If you have the beta on Steam, it will automatically update for you. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time. If you don't have the standalone game, you can download that here. If you already own the first game, just use your existing license key to unlock the sequel for free!

Skyward Collapse Reviews, AI War 7.0 Coverage and Other Press/Videos

2013 has been nuts. It's crazy to look back at what we've been able to do in the past six months (especially if you're aware of our previous track record): launching A Valley Without Wind 2, Shattered Haven, Skyward Collapse and AI War: Vengeance of the Machine between February and June. Quite a schedule!

The team's not about to slow down either, with new expansions for Skyward Collapse and AI War due out before the end of the year. Perhaps even more exciting, we've begun development of our seventh game: Bionic Dues. We'll have more on this one soon, what it's all about and when/where it can be played.

Feel free to stop by the forums if you want to get involved with any of these titles, or just want to follow along with what we're up to. Also, just a reminder that it's last call for the AI War franchise sale on our store, GamersGate and Steam (sale ends tomorrow morning).
