Help Shape History with Ara: History Untold’s Technical Alpha 2

Hello, Michael Calif, Lead Designer at Ara: The Untold History Here!on behalf of the whole Ara Since the team at Oxide Games unveiled the game on Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in June, we would like to thank everyone who has expressed their excitement for the game, and everyone who has played the game and shared their feedback. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Recent and first technical alpha. Your enthusiasm ignites our fire and drives us to create the best grand strategy games we can!

Based on the positive response to our first technical alpha, we feel like we’re on the right track, but that’s just a glimpse of what’s to come Ara: The Untold HistoryPlayer feedback has been invaluable in building the game, and more people were interested in trying our game than we expected. I found crafting intriguing, building satisfying buildings, and managing civic stats alluring.

Clear areas that needed improvement were also highlighted. Combat stats were confusing. Information was sometimes difficult to access or simply missing. Part of it resulted in an incomplete UI. This is usually one of the last features we finish, but we’ve already made a lot of improvements. We’ve also received feedback that cities don’t feel or look like cities, and supporting the establishment of new cities or expanding borders is unnecessarily vague. The last one comes from solid data rather than direct player feedback, but both are important to keep iterating.

Of course, iteration is exactly what we’ve been doing. In the months since the first technical alpha, we’ve been working his way through two interwoven tracks. One is to evaluate and respond to player feedback, and the other is to continue implementing planned features (with some changes based on what we hear).Both of these tracks are well advanced and we are ready to announce the next opportunity to see how the community works Ara: The Untold History In Progress: Technical Alpha 2.

Technical Alpha 2 adds more features to the game for players to test, including some of the most requested features from the first Technical Alpha. You’ll be able to play more games, talk to more players, and spend more time playing. And we’re especially excited to announce that another historical act will be available that will allow players to advance their technology right up to the Industrial Revolution. I was. Perhaps most importantly, it will increase the variety of maps and give you access to procedurally generated maps.
