Brutal Gamer recently had the opportunity to chat with Chris Park and Erik Johnson of Arcen Games. With two hits under their belt already, this indie company will be releasing an action adventure game titled A Valley Without Wind in the fall. Read on to find out what Chris and Erik think about indie developers, the future of gaming, and….trees?
Arcen Games, which had just released Starward Rogue to much positive reviews, had to lay off almost all its staff, effective from this coming Monday.
A great video game chat for you today. theMulticast is joined by Josh and Chris of Arcen Games. These guys know games and come from a great history of them. They bring with them their newest game, Skyward Collapse. This game is something else. Skyward Collapse truly makes you feel like an all powerful...A-hole. We get to the bottom of what makes a videogame difficult and challenging yet at the same time rewarding and fun.
Listen to these gamers drop knowledge while you can. I'm sure my constant fighting with @Corib3ar scared them away for life.
MWEB Gamezone: Tiny indie game dev studio Arcen Games, known for their popular genre-stretching strategy and puzzle games AI War: Fleet Command and Tidalis respectively, are on the brink of releasing their second game this year. It's called Skyward Collapse, and it's a strategic God-game that has you, The Creator, balancing two opposing factions as they fight out their differences.
I like the synopsis of the game, it will be interesting to see how the gameplay incorporates controlling all the different entities
oh no, not another godgame, my ego is already so inflated, it want to start managing things in RL like this...
Hahah. If I could manage my IRL finances like I can manage finances in videogames (like the X universe games) I'd be sorted. :D
Yeah, Arcen Games are putting out some great stuff. This is their second this year not counting their re-release of overhauled A Valley Without Wind, and according to their site they've got even more games planned to come out later in the year. Productive studio!
