✨Translations - Ready for Primetime✨

4 Dec, 2024

With this build, we're taking language support out of "Beta" status. This means languages are available on non-steam platforms and we're satisfied that the major issues with the translations have been solved. 📝

Steam build was uploaded a few days ago, so you should've been able to enjoy the latest changes already! 🥳

For those who missed it last time, the supported languages are:

Spanish - LATAM
German
Simplified Chinese
Russian
Japanese
Portuguese - BR

Many issues with translations (small and not-so-small) have been fixed since the last build. Thanks to everyone who has helped with testing! 💪

If you have any further issues please keep the reports coming - after making extra sure your copy is up to date!

The other changes have been fairly minor but will un-stick a few people ✨

- Soft-lock in Act 3 when running a translation fixed
- Crashes with very specific item equips fixed.
- Time has been added to the manual save slots in the pause UI for some dedicated players trying to see every last dialogue line!

There has also been a very positive review of the game over on Polygon, we can tell the reviewer really vibed with the game! Give it a read if you're still on the fence👌

Thanks, and enjoy! ✨

New languages have arrived to Arco! 📚

24 Oct, 2024

We are very happy to announce that Arco is now available in the following languages:

- Spanish - LATAM
- German
- Simplified Chinese
- Russian
- Japanese
- Portuguese - BR

We want to say that, since the game has a lot of text and we are a small team, we are aware that you may find some misprints here and there.✍️

Even though we are checking that everything looks perfect for you, in case you find some misprints or bugs, it would help us a lot if you could report that at Steam forums.

Besides the localisation, we've made some minor audio and performance improvements, as well as some background changes to implement better the localisations.💪

Thank you so much for your patience, we hope you enjoy Arco a lot in your languages!✨

Bugfixes, Demo, Assist Mode, and What's Next

23 Aug, 2024

First of all thank you everyone for enjoying Arco, and reporting all the bugs!

If you played Arco but haven't left a reivew yet, please do, it helps 💕

Patch summary

Lots of crash and bug fixes. Let us know if you find anything we missed.
Demo! Some people asked so we brought the free demo back! It's important to notice that the demo is the first 2-3 hours of the game and that the saves carry over to the final, if you choose to buy, so it is the best way to see if you like the game!
Assist mode in settings for players who care about the story but are struggling with combat. You can use it to blow stuff up, skip combat and turn off ghosts. We recommend experiencing the game without it, but we want to make sure everyone can get the most fun out of the game.
Option to skip Act I when replaying the game. To make Obelisk hunting and looking for alternate paths a more pleasant process.
Holding space previews bullet paths. Thanks for the suggestion.

What's next

Localisation. Arco will be translated into 6 languages:
- Spanish - LATAM
- German
- Simplified Chinese
- Russian
- Japanese
- Portuguese - BR
The translations are planned to release before end of the month on Steam.
Switch patches. We realise Switch version of the game runs worse than PC and has additional bugs. There's a Patch on the way addressing the main issues. As we can't instantly push new changes to Switch, the fixes there will lag behind the ones here. Hope you understand. We hope that the upcoming Switch patch will be accepted by Nintendo in the following week.
More and more fixes. Hopefully, most of the issues are now resolved, but we'll keep an eye out for more bug reports and tackle them asap.

Changelog

- Fixed 2x Mana Buff sometimes not working in combat
- Assist Mode
- Added Act 1 skip when replaying the game.
- Fixed some Achievements not triggering.
- Changed scenario summary presentation a little
- Patched accidentally leaving Zoka behind
- Typo fixes
- Increased draw scale for the pre-fight UI in encounter for comfortable reading on Switch/Deck
- Fixed use button visible for one frame if it shouldn't be on opening inventory
- Fixed crash in boss_moth
- Rattler mission hints
- Fixed lizard egg softlock
- Patched items that do damage when consumed so they don't break the game if used in pre-battle
- Fixed Chali trader shop crash
- Fixed wrong-size overlay with funny res
- Less blinding crash screen
- Reworked Sprite Caching
- Fixed infinite money loop (one of em at least)
- Bunch of skill description fixes
- Fixed Revive Corpse crash

- Fixed being able to take Zoka past the forest

First person to find another crash on Steam and ask gets a key for their friend >:)

IGN EXCLUSIVE ARCO PREVIEW - They like it!

5 Jun, 2024

Hello folks! 🦙

Today is a pretty exciting day for our crew, as IGN published their exclusive preview of the game (the first two acts), and it turns out they think Arco is a pretty cool game. WE TOLD YOU!

"It's been a while since I've felt so captivated by such a minimalist game as Arco," says Leana Hafer from the IGN team.

We've been in the weeds getting the game ready for launch later this year, and hearing that it sounds like we are on the right track has been a nice morale boost. We hope you take the time to check out their wonderful preview to get a new look at what we are cooking up in the game.

That's not all!

The fine folks at Latin American Games Showcase[www.lagshowcase.com] have invited us over again for the Summer Game Fest edition of their show, and we are showing off a pretty neat boss fight with them on June 8 @ 10 AM PT. Here's a hint for that boss - 🐐.

That's all for now, we will see you later this summer with a release update for Arco.

Take care! 🤠
