Description
Arkin is set in a future where humanity has been at war for decades, only to find that their true enemy, a threat to their very existence, has just appeared. As a veteran pilot in the TDF navy outfitted with the latest in starfighter technology, you are on the front lines of the battle for our survival.
History
Arkin (formerly Project Orion) began as an educational endeavor by a group of students in the Algonquin College Game Development program. As the project grew and the team graduated from the program, it was decided that the game deserved to be finished. The indie game studio Raven Sword Industries was formed along with the start of full-time development of Arkin. The Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight campaigns for Arkin were launched simultaneously on May 13th 2015. Arkin enjoyed immediate success on Steam and was officially greenlit on May 19, 2015, after only 6 days of voting.
