Arcadian Atlas News

Hello again to the wonderful world of Arcadian Atlas updates!

It's a new month which means a new Arcadian Update, where we share new features, skills, maps, and everything Arcadian Atlas from the Twin Otter team! But we've got a lot of fun Pax East updates and new class skills to show off - so off we go!



[h2]PAX East Updates[/h2]
We wanted to extend another giant thank you to everyone who played the newest Arcadian Atlas demo at PAX East! We had a blast seeing all the cool cosplay and gained even more feedback and bug reports!

We'll share a few of our favorite pictures below, and stay posted for future shows you can find the game at as we near our summer release!







We think you'll notice the gorgeous new art from Jasmin Darnell - find her on instagram @ya.hime , and we hope everyone who had a chance to come by the booth had a blast!

[h2]The Hunter[/h2]



The Hunter knows that man’s greatest foe is one that strikes from above, catching them unawares. With their Death From Above tree, the Hunter and their Animal Companion rain deadly strikes from the skies, while the Guerrilla Tactics tree turns the battlefield into a minefield, laying traps and making foes regret ever stepping foot into Hunter territory.

Explosion Shot sends a flame-tipped arrow at a main target that explodes, impacting foes around them with splash Fire Element damage.

[h3]Slumber Trap[/h3]

Slumber Trap lays a 3 radius trap that causes all foes within its range to fall asleep, and affects any enemies entering the trap for the next 3 turns. Just don't attack them or they'll wake up!

The Hunter sends their companion to lay flaming traps on the battlefield in a 3 tile radius that burns all within, and inflicts Burn Status on any entering the trap afterwards.

Howdy once again you gorgeous people!

It's a new month which means a new Arcadian Update, where we share new features, skills, maps, and everything Arcadian Atlas from the Twin Otter team!
But let's not wait - we're diving on in!



[h2]Steam Next Fest Improvements[/h2]

We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who played the Arcadian Atlas demo for Steam Next Fest and provided a wealth of improvement ideas and bug reports!
It was truly a humbling experience seeing the outpouring of support from fans and newcomers alike, and we've been working away at all the feedback to ensure the game is even better! A sneak peak at what's in the works below:

[h2]The Heavens Roll In[/h2]

Many of you wanted to see a more vibrant, active world map - so we've listened! Now you'll find billowy clouds rolling in and a gentle breeze blowing across Arcadia!



[h2]New Button Prompts[/h2]

Want to know when more information is available on options, items, unit promotions and when you can undo movement? Look no further! We've been adding additional callouts for Undo Movement and More Info Boxes on top of existing skill tooltips to put more features at your fingertips





[h2]Bug Fixes Galore[/h2]

We've gathered all the detailed bug reports from the countless demo players and already gotten to work squashing those pesky guys - a huge thanks to everyone who documented bugs for us!

[h2]New Key Art[/h2]

We commissioned the extremely talented artist Jasmin Darnell to hand-craft some lovely new key art for the game. You’ll see this art on Steam and other sites as our MAIN advertising illustration from here on out.

We’re extremely excited to present to you….



Catch us online with this new advertising artwork from here on out!

[h2]The Monk[/h2]




The Monk, one of Apothecary's advanced jobs, has spent years rigorously training their body and pouring over books of the arcane, using their Furious Blows tree to strike so quickly and so often that they bypass DEF, only considering the MDEF of their foes and attempting to chain their skills endlessly one into another, while those of the Arcane Energies tree channel that energy into powerful bolts to heal or harm and alter time itself to haste allies or slow their foes.

Arcane Bolts



Arcane Bolts sends 4 bolts of pure, element-free energy towards the target, not only damaging them but guaranteed to inflict Slow Status, ensuring their turn is delayed in combat.

Blinding Spin



Blinding Spin is an invaluable AoE skill for damaging units directly around the Monk while also making it more difficult to hit them by inflicting the Blind Status effect.

Martyr



A Monk's last - and most powerful - resort, Martyr deals the full Max HP value of the Monk to their foes, but leaves the monk completely drained, with only 1 HP and 1 SP remaining.


[h2]New Social![/h2]

Just couldn’t wait any longer for everyone to get a taste of Arcadian Atlas, so we are making the demo live today!!

Keep going for a sneak peak at what's included:

[h3]Inside the Throne Room[/h3]

Lucretia is caught by Wulff while attempting to sneak into the castle to prove the King, her father, is being poisoned. After a brief exchange of not-so-pleasantries, Lucretia slips away while her guards buy her time.



[h3]Throne Room Battle[/h3]

Taking control of Vashti, Desmond, and Eda, fight against Lucretia’s secret guards and defend Queen Venezia. Experience the basics of battle in Arcadian Atlas as you bloody the halls of the castle.



[h3]Improvements[/h3]

If you’ve played any of our previous demos and provided us with feedback, you might notice we’ve made some improvements based on your suggestions. We are most excited about the skill tooltips we’ve implemented, so keep an eye out for the Skill Info Box and Skill Range and let us know what you think! There are tons of other Quality Of Life improvements and tweaks we've made based on your suggestions, so please continue to help us make this game the absolute best it can be!

[h3]Play It for Yourself[/h3]

We don’t want to give away everything now, so go experience the demo for yourself!

Feel free to stream/record your playthrough, you might even get a shout-out from us & our fans sent your way!

[h3]We’d Love Your Honest Feedback[/h3]
Once you get your hands on the demo, we’d love to know what you think! We are nearing the end of development on Arcadian Atlas and this will likely be the last chance for us to implement player feedback into the final game. Comment your thoughts about the demo on this update, tag us on social media, and feel free to stream your playthrough (we’ll be dropping by streams to see your reactions). Pop into our Discord and share your feedback in the #support channel, the team is looking forward to hearing from ya!

We can't wait to show off more Arcadian Atlas content in February! Stay tuned for more on our socials!

Hey there, folks! Welcome to Arcadian Updates, where we share super cool updates for Arcadian Atlas that the Twin Otter team are working on, including new maps, classes, mechanics, and much more! We'll have more to share as time goes on, so follow along and check it out!

[h2]The Inquisitor[/h2]


The Inquisitor is a mage killer. They sacrifice DEF to gain additional MDEF, getting in close to mages as quickly as possible and attempting to turn foes Undead, dispatching them with Holy Element damage and SP crippling skills while bestowing huge bonuses to their allies through Grand Auras. The Inquisitor uses the strength of their faith to fight back the darkness in the world. A true shining light, perfect for this holiday season.

Silencing Ray
Silencing Ray deals damage and inflicts Silence. As a mage-killer, inflicting Silence and preventing magic use is a crucial tactic for the Inquisitor.

Smiting Blow
This skill deals a large amount of HP Damage, but also damages a target's SP based on the Inquisitor's MDEF stat, helping to cripple magic users in two ways. The Inquisitor has many different ways of disarming magic users.

Grand Aura
Grand Aura increases both the MDEF and DEF stat of all friendly units within the trap area, and this effect persists for 2 turns and can be further modified by other skills to bestow even more benefits. In addition to crippling enemy mages, Inquisitors can also shield their party from enemy magic.

[h2]Happy New Year![/h2]

We hope everyone had a happy holiday season and we are wishing everyone a safe and successful new year! We deeply appreciate all of your support throughout Arcadian Atlas’ development and to celebrate the start of 2023 (our release year) we have a bonus skill and a nice surprise to show off as a special treat!

Rapture
Drop holy wrath on a foe to deal 110% Holy Element DMG with a 30% chance to inflict Stun Status. Cleanse the battlefield of your vile foes with this powerful Holy attack!

Skill Tooltips
You might have already caught a glimpse of this new UI addition in the gifs included in this update, but we have added skill tooltips! Thanks to all of the valuable feedback we received from our PAX West demo, we have implemented a Skill Info Box that appears in the top left corner of the screen to describe what a skill does, along with a Skill Range display which will show you the range of a skill on the battlefield as you hover over it in the Action List.

We can't wait to show off more Arcadian Atlas content in 2023! Stay tuned for more on our socials!

Hey there, folks! Welcome to Arcadian Updates, where we share super cool updates for Arcadian Atlas that the Twin Otter team are working on, including new maps, classes, mechanics, and much more! We'll have more to share as time goes on, so follow along and check it out!

[h2]The Druid[/h2]



The Druid has become so enmeshed with the natural elements only dreamt of in their Warmancer days that they’re able to create phenomena from nothing. With the ability to harness the power of Ice, Fire, Lightning, and Earth to their benefit, let’s dive deeper into the Druid’s skills.

Blinding Light
This skill deals a large amount of Holy Element damage and is guaranteed to Blind the selected target. Pack a punch and gain a tactical advantage over your enemy all in one move!

Blizzard
Blizzard deals a medium amount of Ice Element damage to all units in a large radius with a chance to Slow and Freeze all caught within its blast. This is a moderately powerful AoE attack that can also slow your enemies’ attack, buying your units extra time on the battlefield.

Prepare Casting
A self buff usable once per battle, Prepare Casting gives the Druid drastically faster cast speed for five full turns - a perfect intro move before unleashing a wave of elemental spells.

Earthquake
Similar to Blizzard, this skill deals a medium amount of Earth Element damage over a large radius with a chance to Stun all enemies within the blast.

[h2]Forest Spirit[/h2]



The Forest Spirit is a powerful, ethereal being without known origin that weighs the actions of humans and passes judgment on those attempting to harm the one who summons it. Also, if your Thanksgiving turkey looked like this, it was probably overcooked.

We can't wait to show off more Arcadian Atlas content in December! Stay tuned for more on our socials!
