Howdy once again you gorgeous people!
It's a new month which means a new Arcadian Update, where we share new features, skills, maps, and everything Arcadian Atlas from the Twin Otter team!
But let's not wait - we're diving on in!
Steam Next Fest Improvements
We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who played the Arcadian Atlas demo for Steam Next Fest and provided a wealth of improvement ideas and bug reports!
It was truly a humbling experience seeing the outpouring of support from fans and newcomers alike, and we've been working away at all the feedback to ensure the game is even better! A sneak peak at what's in the works below:
The Heavens Roll In
Many of you wanted to see a more vibrant, active world map - so we've listened! Now you'll find billowy clouds rolling in and a gentle breeze blowing across Arcadia!
New Button Prompts
Want to know when more information is available on options, items, unit promotions and when you can undo movement? Look no further! We've been adding additional callouts for Undo Movement and More Info Boxes on top of existing skill tooltips to put more features at your fingertips
Bug Fixes Galore
We've gathered all the detailed bug reports from the countless demo players and already gotten to work squashing those pesky guys - a huge thanks to everyone who documented bugs for us!
New Key Art
We commissioned the extremely talented artist Jasmin Darnell to hand-craft some lovely new key art for the game. You’ll see this art on Steam and other sites as our MAIN advertising illustration from here on out.
We’re extremely excited to present to you….

The Monk
The Monk, one of Apothecary's advanced jobs, has spent years rigorously training their body and pouring over books of the arcane, using their Furious Blows tree to strike so quickly and so often that they bypass DEF, only considering the MDEF of their foes and attempting to chain their skills endlessly one into another, while those of the Arcane Energies tree channel that energy into powerful bolts to heal or harm and alter time itself to haste allies or slow their foes.
Arcane Bolts
Arcane Bolts sends 4 bolts of pure, element-free energy towards the target, not only damaging them but guaranteed to inflict Slow Status, ensuring their turn is delayed in combat.
Blinding Spin
Blinding Spin is an invaluable AoE skill for damaging units directly around the Monk while also making it more difficult to hit them by inflicting the Blind Status effect.
Martyr
A Monk's last - and most powerful - resort, Martyr deals the full Max HP value of the Monk to their foes, but leaves the monk completely drained, with only 1 HP and 1 SP remaining.
New Social!
