Arms of God News

[h2]As you all know, Arms of God is a game built around brutally fighting your way through endless hordes of enemies. That’s why we couldn’t miss Brutal Indie Unleashed.
[/h2][h3]Along with taking part in the Steam event, we have a brand-new exclusive trailer where you can learn about why we decided to include gore in Arms of God in the first place, how we treat it as more than just a visual effect, and what we're trying to achieve with our hand-crafted dismemberment system.

If you're curious about the design philosophy behind the brutality and why every cut matters in our game, check it out. 👀

[/h3][p]If you’re curious and missed the live stream, check it out here:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]During the event, you’ll also be able to watch gameplay on our Steam page.

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]My friends, I am one of the last Templars and I have important news to share with you. [/p][p]The time has come to start preparing you for the journey where you’ll face demonic hordes [/p][p]summoned to doom the world. Discover secrets hidden behind closed doors and purge the evil lurking in the shadows. [/p][p]Curious? Check out what we’re working on right now in Arms of God! 
[/p][h2]Manual aiming [/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
During playtests, many players expressed interest in adding manual aiming. Looking at other games [/p][p]in the genre, it has essentially become a new standard, so to keep up, we’ve started working on implementing this mechanic. From now on, you’ll have three options to choose from: [/p]

• [p]Auto-shooting, which will remain the default, [/p]

• [p]Manual shooting, allowing you to aim your primary weapon manually, [/p]

• [p]Cone option, which lets you control the angle of fire for all five weapons at once. [/p]

[p]You can see the results in the image below. Please remember that this is still in testing, and the functionality may change during development. Additionally, we’ve added an option in the menu[/p][p]that allows you to switch between auto-shoot, manual and cone at any time, even during a mission. [/p][h2]New blessing icons[/h2][p][/p][p]Another noticeable change right from the start: redesigned blessing icons. After some thought, we felt the old ones leaned too heavily into sci-fi. The new icons brings more dark fantasy vibes, increasing immersion. [/p][h2]Meta progression [/h2][p][/p][p]And finally, the most important news!  [/p][p]We’ve started working on the game’s meta progression, which is now our top priority. We can’t share [/p][p]too many details yet, but here’s a sneak peek of the menu within Confessional, one of the buildings. That’s where you’ll be able to remove blessings you no longer need but of course indulgence has it’s price. [/p][p][/p][p]You’ll have to wait a bit longer for more information! [/p][p]If you want to stay up to date, follow our social media and join our Discord! [/p][p][/p][p][/p]
