Arkhangel 11/2019 Update: Linux, Steam Achievements, New Tutorials OH MY!

Hey everyone!

We've been working on a number of new updates and features over the last couple of months and we are extremely excited to let you know that they are now live!

PATCH NOTES:

Steam Achievements - Are you a completionist that is always looking for bragging rights? Well there are now 25 brand-spanking new achievements for you to discover in Arkhangel.

New Tutorials - Were you falling asleep reading the massive block of text that was the former tutorial page? Worry not! There is now a more robust and descriptive tutorial for Arkhangel complete with fancy pictures. There is even *gasp* animations! So fancy.

Linux Now Supported - You read that right! We finally have support for all of you Linux lovers out there. It took some doing just in terms of Zack trying to figure out how Linux worked, but once he did, it got uploaded and is now ready for you to play!
** Special tech note** - if you are an nVidia user and find some games have strange black dots across the screen, then we highly recommend adding the following to your Steam Launch Options for Arkhangel, "-force-glcore42 -force-clamped". That should get you going.

Multiple Bug Fixes - Our dutiful players discovered a few difficult-to-spot bugs during their journeys, so we collected the data and made several fixes. Michael can no longer get caught in a weird squatting/walking state towards the end of the game if you turn the inventory on and off and move the directional buttons around. You will also no longer get clipping issues in the Path of Shadow...in fact, there was a substantial reconstruction of that area for some upcoming changes.

Speaking of...

WHAT'S NEXT:

We've been reading reviews and collating feedback from a number of people and have been prepping ourselves for a pretty substantial update in the coming months. It's clear that some of the camera angles, transitions, and control methods aren't working for everyone, so we are going to dive into those deep waters. We're not 100% sure what the outcome is going to be and we are fairly positive that it's going to be a very invasive update, so we are going to take our time with it and keep you posted on our progress.

As always, thank you so much for the support. We really appreciate you all and we are looking forward to what the future will bring for Arkhangel.

Have a great weekend,

We recommend playing Arkhangel with a Game Controller!

Greetings friends!

As we get more players popping on through the Halloween sale, I just wanted to remind everyone that we do support game controllers with Arkhangel. In fact, that's how I tend to play it any more!

So dust off that old 360 controller, plug it in, set your preferred input setting in Akrhangel, and get to explorin'!

Oh yeah, you can modify your controller layout however you'd like!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

The Halloween Sale is ON!

The Halloween Sale is now ON! Arkhangel is 80% off for a limited time. What a sPoOoOOooooOOky Deal!! ːsteamhappyː

August 17th, 2019: Maintenance Patch!

Hey all!

Just a quick note to let you know we pushed a small update to Arkhangel. This is more of a quality of life/maintenance patch than anything. Here's a brief rundown:

* Fixed an audio oddity in the Asylum on Day 1 when you talk with Elizabeth

* Adjusted Gabrielle's dialogue when she's standing in the attic in Day 1 when you are playing as Michael

* Fixed a rare (but potentially evil) save/load bug in Day 6 that could promote a progression issue.

* Provided an additional fix for people that might have already experienced said save/load bug.

Mac OSX, Windows 32-bit, and Windows 64-bit builds all updated.

Have a great weekend,
-Winter Night Games
