We are back

It's been a few months since the 1.4 update but we haven't stopped working on the future of Arker: The legend of Ohm in different ways.

Today we bring you the news we have been working on during this time; including an important and promised update and the plans for this new year.

v1.5. Work in progress

Version 1.5 is already underway for review in the App Store and Google Play Store. Recall that one of the main novelties of this release is the new perspective of the game, which has been redesigned to cover a spectrum of 2.5 dimensions; this will transform battles into an amazing experience with a ton of cool effects, each of them designed and crafted for every intense moment of the battle. We have also redesigned some aspects of the interface, with special attention regarding the user experience, such as the main screen and navigation between menus. We want you to have the smoothest experience as possible. In addition, we have managed to reduce the weight of the game up to 50% in some versions and devices! Now you will be able to throw a party with all that crappy tech that you keep in the alley.

We have also added multiple feedback animations during battles. We knew that the given feedback wasn't enough to convey the real spirit of Arker's battles. Among that feedback, we have created damaging, healing animations aswell as a powerfull screen shake effect. We encourage you to discover all the new effects for yourself!

Steam and Nintendo Swicth release

As you all may know, we announced the port of the game to the desktop platform through Steam. We havent forget it and we will try as hard as possible a Steam version during 2020. We want to laverage this situation we would like to announce our future plans to publish Arker: The Legend of Ohm in console platforms beginning by the Nintendo Switch.

For this reason, in January, we will start the two ports of the game thanks to the incorporation of a new team member. we will keep you informed about all the news regarding both ports and their possible release date. We hope that it can happen during 2020.

History mode

On the other hand, we have not forgotten the two pending features: The history mode and the new character. The first one is still in our roadmap, however we have been forced to lower its priority. With respect to the new Soul Hunter - temporary name- character, it will be released after the ports are published. We leave you the final concept art of the new character that we showed you in the last weekly.
