ARC SEED News

This is a resume of what you can expect for ARC SEED.

First, the early access is coming in 2024, so next year! Maybe sooner than you think!



ARC SEED is a Mech Tactics game where you fight your enemies with cards.

The cards come not just from your deck but also from your current equipment.
This means that if you have a Rifle with a cool down of 1 turn, after 1 turn a Rifle attack card will appear in your hand, ready to be used.
After using it it will cool down for another turn until it will return one turn later.



This can also apply to other weapons or even active equipment.

Some guns might even need to reload, so a reload card will appear in your hand.

There is also some other important details regarding the city.
When you start the fight, don't go running and destroy half the city!
There are still people inside the buildings and you will need to give them time to evacuate!



So at the start of the fight, you need to keep the enemies away from the populated buildings.
And also not use your own weapons or stepping your giant feet into any building.

The objective is usually simple, kill the enemy and save as many people as you can!
Saving people is what gives you the funds for your next fight.
That means funds to not only repair your mech but also buy upgrades!

That is all for now, thank you!

n upcoming tactics roguelike will see you take the sticks of a giant robot and do battle with interstellar Archangels come to obliterate humanity's cities. Massive Galaxy Studios' Arc Seed will be a combination of turn-based tactics and deckbuilding combined with longer-term roguelite strategy requiring you to upgrade and coordinate the defenses of your city...

Hello!
We pushed a new update to the demo, fixing some of the issues players reported.

This is an early alpha so expect a very limited game experience with a lot of missing elements.

• Fixed some bugs, including one where your mech sprite could be swapped by one of the enemies.
  
• Improved visibility on the selectable squares
  
• Added some missing sounds and gfx
  
• Added new tracks and improved existing background music
  
• We noticed many players not understanding the battery stats, so we increased the starting values. You need to charge your battery in the charging points before you run out! (we will explain this better in a future tutorial)
  
• Fixed other minor bugs
  

That's it for now, a big thank you to everyone who submitted feedback!

ARC SEED is part of this year Next Fest June 2023!

We had an issue with the demo yesterday but it should be fully playable now!

This is just a sneak peak of the game and base mechanics.

Since it's an early build expect some things to be missing, but here are some important points:

• You will do 3 sequential fights, some elements are randomized.
  
• You start with a basic deck and your equipped weapons will 'spawn' a card each 2 turns.
  
• The enemies have simple abilities, in the final game each Archangel can be quite different and the strategy used to fight them will be very different.
  
• You can do repairs and upgrade some stats on your mech
  
• Each time you get a new card you need to check the 'deckbuilder' tab before each fight and put the card in your deck.
  
• You have a minimum deck size of 7! When in the deckbuilder, you cannot proceed if your deck is smaller than that.
  
• Watch out for your available battery, the only way to recharge it is in the battery chargers, during the fights. At the moment we don't explain that clearly in the demo tutorial.
  

We already know about some bugs but let us know in the Steam Forums if you find anything.



Thank you!
