Description
Environ has been shattered in the wake of an unknown cataclysm, with only small pockets of humanity left in its wake... What will you do in this strange new world?
The creators of AI War bring you a procedurally-generated 2D side-scrolling adventure of limitless proportions. Survive and explore a vast persistent world filled with dangerous creatures, powerful magic, and ancient technology. Do so while helping other survivors establish settlements, gathering resources to craft, fending off evil invaders, and more.
Features
- Explore the beautiful and dangerous regions of Environ in a sprawling adventure. Travel through lush countryside, ruined towns, deep subterranean caves, and buildings of all shapes and sizes.
- Procedural-generation ensures no two worlds will ever be the same. Your planet unfolds as you discover it, and once you've discovered something it becomes part of your Environ for good.
- Take command of survivor settlements. Scout surrounding areas for rare crafting materials and fend off invaders in the turn-based strategic overlay. Improve resident productivity and quality of life through the city-building interface at each settlement.
- Bring to life an infinite amount of characters, settings and stories. You don't just represent an individual, you represent an entire civilization and its indomitable will to survive in a shattered world.
- Everywhere has treasures to discover, people to help, and evils to confront. Craft a variety of spells, scrolls, and traps to help you on your way.
- During beta, there are new updates nearly every weekday -- packed with additional content, improvements, and much more.
This Game Is Still In Beta!
A Valley Without Wind is currently in beta and as such is still very much in development. The game continues to evolve, with new content and improvements added nearly every weekday. When you pre-order AVWW, you'll be getting access to the current beta version and all subsequent updates through launch (v1.0) and beyond -- and at a substantial 50% discount, we might add! That said, don't let the beta label scare you off -- it's still early days, but players are having a blast with it, as you can see from the forums and elsewhere! You can also get a demo of the latest version at any time.
Multiplayer Currently In Opt-In Alpha Phase
At Arcen, one of the things we're known for is our co-op multiplayer. The multiplayer features for AVWW have been added, however there are still a number of kinks we want to iron out before we do a wider release of it. Right now we have folks from the forums who are playing and testing the multiplayer capabilities, and if you want to opt in there are simple instructions on our wiki.
Release Date
Public beta is in full swing, and players can download the demo and preorder it from the Arcen site, GamersGate, Impulse, or MacGameStore.com at this time. Other distributors will be following in the weeks and months after. A Valley Without Wind will probably have an official release in Q1 2012.
All of the above is subject to change, of course, but we'll be sure to keep folks updated as we gain greater clarity into the exact timeline of the project.
