It's been a week since New Arc Line launched into Early Access and the support and feedback we've received has been tremendous so far! Thank you very much, it is truly heart-warming to know that you enjoy the game and that you care about it; which you keep showing us by letting us know what should be fixed, changed and improved. Based on that, we are already hard at work on a quality-of-life patch that we hope to have out before the Holidays, but we cannot firmly promise that at this point - New Arc Line is not a small game and we want to test every update thoroughly rather than risk releasing a version that would not be enjoyable to play.
Among the features and improvements we plan to bring in this upcoming patch are:
- Separate sliders for SFX and Music volume controls.
- The ability to continue exploring the world even after the main quest has been completed.
- The ability to read through the entire currently active dialogue (including previous replies).
- Bug-reporting tool inside the game, to streamline the fixing process.
- Fix issues with performance in the menu when players have many saved games.
This is not a complete list, we are working on other additions as well, but we are also still evaluating what is realistic to finalize and properly test before the Holidays.
There is also a Holiday tradition for indie games: the annual IndieDB Indie of the Year Awards, and 2024 is no exception. You can now vote for all your favorite indie games on the site and select the Top100 - this round of voting will close on December 10, and voting for the prestigious Top10 will begin a day after that. We therefore humbly ask you to consider voting for New Arc Line - all you have to do to is follow this link and click VOTE NOW. It's that simple, no registration or e-mail verification is needed; so you can tell your friends to do the same!

Until next time!
