Shell Island Screenshots

Here's some pics showing a bit of Shell Island, the latest island added to the game and probably my favorite that I've made due to its scale, verticality, structures, and music. Still need to add quests and NPCs to it. Also, happy new years!

Another thing, the early access trailer is still being made public on Roball's youtube channel on Friday, I'm not sure if I specified that when I posted it on here or not

**Arcane Odyssey Early Access Trailer**

The trailer is finally done! Big thanks to the testers for getting the footage and Roball1 for editing the video. 

After more than 2 years, release is finally getting close, and I can't wait to be working on this game for years to come. The thing I'm most excited for is people to experience the story, cause this game's story compared to AA's is already a lot more in-depth and better written even after only 1 sea, and knowing the plans for the Nimbus Sea's story, it's only gonna get...

Showcase Video by Soliel

Hey all, I just wanted to say I'm amazed by the amount of support on here over the past month and never thought that this could earn me enough money to support me until the game releases, so for that I give you all my sincerest thanks. 

It kinda makes me feel guilty that posts on here have slowed down, but in phases of development like this where I'm mainly working on story or quests, I'm never really sure what to showcase.

For now, here's a private showcase video made by Sol...

Small Freerunning Areas

I added these poles and beams that you can freerun across in some areas by sprinting, will probably be used more and more in future islands

Ice Magic effects

Recorded by Herodue. I haven't really wanted to post magic visuals as much since I feel like its lame since its basically just seeing visual variation but if you guys want to see more magics let me know. When Sailor Style is done I'll prob record a clip of that since its visuals and functionality will be pretty sick.

Personally not that excited about how Ice turned out cause I didn't have much inspiration when making it, but it definitely looks better than before. There's a f...

Severe Thunderstorm visuals

A clip I managed to get before recording the deckhands when I saw an insane storm happening at Sailor's Lodge. I need to tone down the lightning from them a bit though since it spawns a bit TOO fast. You can also see how the large waves were slowly flooding and destroying parts of the island

Deckhand System

A system I added a few days ago that lets you permanently recruit NPCs to your ship to give it certain stat boosts, that also ties into Renown, making it a way for players high on the leaderboard to get insane ship boosts, but also a way for casual players to get some extra stats on their ship as well. 

For more on how they work: https://trello.com/c/jMpITTuo/199-deckhands

Wood Magic Visuals

Here's a clip of birch wood magic visuals by Soliel. Sorry for not being as active on here I've been busy trying to finish the final story boss of the Bronze Sea and I don't really have time to get clips for things myself anymore

Castaway Rescuing

A small feature I added 2 days ago, you can now find stranded NPCs out on the ocean and either rescue them or plunder what they have for a small reward. While working on the final story boss of the Bronze Sea, I'm also going to add another feature called Deckhands, and then add the Sailor Style fighting style.

On another note, I've paid off that ER medical debt thanks to patreon, so I don't have to worry about that anymore. I've also started working on AO 11-13 hours a day instead of 8 ...

More Ship Combat

(music isn't from in-game, clip by Soliel) 

Sorry for not posting on here as much, I've been busy with working on the game and setting up the start of the game trailer

Small Ship Combat Showcase

(music in the clip isn't from in-game) A short clip by Soliel showing cannon firing and ramming with a Caravel. I'll try to get other ship combat clips tomorrow if I remember, today I completed AO's current longest cutscene which is about 2 minutes long and full of cool action scenes. 

Plasma Magic Visuals

(Clip by Mimhere)

Shown in the clip is an Ultimate Art blast, an option available at 200 Magic stat which increases the size and damage of the blast and adds additional visuals in exchange for making the cooldown 30 seconds. I'll most likely be posting shark or ship combat related clips tomorrow.

Also, thank you all so much for the insane support on here, thanks to your patronage the game will not need to be rushed to release at all anymore, and I'll be financially stable until th...

Character Appearances

Some pics of some testers' characters and also a random NPC with a nice appearance I found earlier

Short Thermo Fist fighting style showcase

Here's a short clip by Herodue of the Thermo Fist fighting style. (he used a bug in the beginning to charge the heat sadly, also some of the effects of the skills didnt show for some reason)

Shipyard UI and various items

Here's a short vid showcasing what the Shipyard UI looks like, some of the different ship part types, and ship stat descriptions.

Fire Magic Visuals

Here's a clip made by Doc showing Fire Magic's revamped visuals. Let me know what you guys want showcased cause I don't really know what people want to see

(Patreon only) Grand Navy and Assassin Syndicate uniforms

The uniform appearances for each rank of the Grand Navy and Assassin Syndicate. The highest ranks that are bald in these pics are able to see accessories equipped along with their uniform. When being in the Assassin Syndicate or Grand Navy, your character will always be wearing the uniform of your current rank, and you can view all ranks and the requirements for each in the "Clan" UI in-game.

Put "patreon only" in the title just to make it obvious this post shouldn't be leake...

Potion/Brewing System Plans

FayBank asked me to post the current plans for the brewing system in AO, so here you go. These are the plans for how potions will be made, how they'll work, all the types of status effects they can give, etc. This post is public so feel free to repost these anywhere you want

The system for it has been planned for many months, but brewing will probably be one of the last things I add before early access, and be worked on alongside the dark sea since a lot of rare reagents are ...

Sand Magic Visuals + info about what Patreon funds will be put towards

Thanks to Herodue for recording this short clip showing Sand Magic's new visuals. What other things would yall like to see from the game besides just visuals? Like a quest or something?

Also I wanted to inform everyone what I'll be putting these Patreon funds towards. As you all probably know I'm pretty much poor right now and that's why I decided to make this. World of Magic's income has been steadily decreasing each month and it was at a point where I could only afford to pay bills, ...

Random World/Character Pics + Trailer News

Here's some random pics I've taken over the past few days, as well as a look at a boss cutscene. Also, I have a sick announcement to make: work has started on the Arcane Odyssey Gameplay Trailer, which will be composed by MineyRX, edited by Roball and uploaded to his Youtube channel, as well as posted on here and on my Twitter. 

I'll probably post the trailer on here earlier than anywhere else, so keep an eye out! It'll showcase a lot in a short amount of time, and be en...

Short Cannon Fist Showcase

Hey yall welcome to my patreon. I'm gonna start posting lots of pics and clips here, as well as in the patreon channel in the Discord. 

For the first one I wasn't really sure what to post so here's a clip of the Cannon Fist fighting style's M1s with Grapeshot cannonballs selected, also a nice view of the sunset lighting and a tornado in the distance
