About Project Arkavite

Project Arkavite is a H-RPG game about experiencing the adventure of a lifetime. Our tale begins in a land rich with fantasy and sprinklings of dungeon-punk. This is a world of magical guns, swords and sorcery -- sporting lecherous lewds and magnificent mysteries!

Broadly speaking, I’m designing an open world in which you can go around adventuring, surviving and exploring endlessly. Something with many JRPG fantasy traits, but doesn’t strictly lock you down the path of a linear story. While the game will have a core narrative, there will be plenty of other aspects focusing on exploration, combat, survival, romance, "romance~", and customization.

◉ Customization - The player character is provided with numerous slots for apparel, but customization doesn't end there! Magical potions, curses, and esoterically induced transformations will present an added layer of customization, allowing you to alter your body in lewd and perverse ways.

◉ Romance - In Arkavite you will find traditional romancing akin to what you'd see in otome gamu, and that other kind of "romancing~" you may find in eroge. Let your mind run wild! We have a main cast in mind. Pretty bois and some lovely ladies. Capture targets are key!

◉ Survival - Food, drink and rest will be present in this game. When the going gets tough and supplies start dwindling, you may find yourself forced to dine on things you probably shouldn't be eating. Crafting, and construction are also a given. In later stages of development we will tackle weather systems and environmental hazards, both standard and magical.

◉ Exploration - We’re aiming for an open and somewhat organic world. From cities and villages to castles and ruins, a large portion of the world will be hand-crafted. To make the world feel truly larger than life, portions of the world will be procedurally generated. Devious dungeons and wilderness that'd swallow you whole. Our goal is to create an unpredictable, yet enjoyable experience in this endless world of Arkavite.

Project Arkavite [0.1.0-A]

Chuuni Insanity Edition

Hey everyone. A new build has arrived~
• Download [0.1.0-A]
• Changelog

Changes:

• I've added [Chuuni-Mania]. This is a new curse for the Character Creator. It's really a blessing in disguise don't you think? Upon taking this choice you may notice some interesting changes in regards to your Archetype.

• For traits (Blessings & Curses) as a whole, I've brought back the extra context function. Traits will now provide some much needed added context elaborating on how they function, what they do, etc. In addition to this, I've also added explicit choice stats. Selected blessings and curses which impact stats will now be taken into consideration when calculating starting stat levels. For the time being this level tally is displayed in the character description window. There will be some re-balancing once the stats come into play in-game. Please note, archetype stats are not currently accounted for.

• I've added Prosthesis Leg models for the choice [Limbless].
• Added a display settings toggle for the startup alpha notice message.
• Added "On Click" SFX to Build & Sex Buttons to improve UI responsiveness~
• Changed the games back-end native UI scale. Aside from some background UI elements (space background on the main menu and logo spinner), most of the games UI has been updated to the new native scale. If I've done my job right, you shouldn't notice any difference aside from perhaps some smoother UI animations.
• Changed background of the the choice description window to have a slight level of transparency.
• Fixed bug where selecting [Birthday Suit] followed by any build type would result in the player re-equipping clothing.
• Fixed bug where [Magical Affinity] would break the blessings list.
• Fixed slider / outfit clipping issues for the new Adventurer clothing set.
• Increased minimum butt size to avoid bad mesh deforms.

Build Scheduling & Development Updates~

Hey hey people. Let's get right into it. With the major Character Creator issues now addressed, the sandbox is overdue for some attention.

Here's what we have so far.

I've been heads down preparing the map, so that within a couple weeks’ time it will be added to the experimental branch and opened up for play.

Like our player character, as time goes on I will develop this map further, iterating on the design until I'm satisfied with the look and feel. Even though it's just a test map, I intend for it to serve as an analogue for subsequent map designs and procedural generation. There's not much to do just yet. At the moment it's just a little map you may run around and explore. I may add some hidden elements here and there the map develops. We'll see~

As of now, I'm putting together the in-game UI (inventory, HP, MP, Character Description, etc.), and handling environmental SFX. Following this, I feel it prudent the command and dialog systems be brought online so that I may once again produce item content. I foresee combat and enemy development taking a lot of energy so it would be wise to get those (command and dialog systems) out the way first.

More Character Creation Updates To Come

Updates to character creation won't suddenly stop. There is more to come on that front, such as:

Build save slots
Further improvements to character design
Additional outfits
Outfit color sets
Makeup
Additional choices (blessings, curses)
Choice art
New hair styles
New brow styles
Preview poses

Recently, I've been experimenting with clothing. You may have noticed a new outfit at character creation. It's not exactly what I have in mind for the final default starter outfit, but for now at least, it's the new adventurer drip.

With this outfit I decided to lean a little more into that lined anime aesthetic, and it turned out rather nicely. The boots are as they were before so they look a little out of place, but as for the rest of the composition, I think it works well. I'd like to take this approach to style moving forward and will be updating the previous bits of apparel to match.

For this design I also had the idea of creating an overcoat, but it needs some more time in the oven.

There is much work to be done so I'll try to keep those updates rolling as regularly as possible. Speaking of regularity~

Build Scheduling

At this point there's a lot to keep track of so I'd like to have a go at establishing a more predictable build schedule. It's been rather difficult to have anything approaching such given IRL work commitments, but structure is key to survival so let's see how I do.

I'm going to shoot for a new public build every 3 weeks on Friday, and an experimental build on the Fridays in between (keeping them as in-dev snapshots).

General fixes will continue to come out asap, independent of any scheduling, and I may still put out the odd experimental off-schedule if I get a lot done or I want to show off an early snap of the public build before it goes live.

To view the upcoming release schedule and expected content see HERE. I've cleaned up the codecks so that it's a little easier to navigate and will keep it updated as releases roll out.

With that said, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your weekend, and I hope you look forward to this Friday and the Fridays after~
