August Production Report

ARISEN · published 7 Aug 2023, 17:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello there!

As promised, here’s some fresh news about ARISEN:

  • As we talked before we are still scouting for partners to port the game on Switch & mobile. Get in touch if you are interested!
  • Meanwhile, we are planning to work on a new patch to improve the game. It should contain:
    • Gamepad compatibility is on its way: you’ll be able to play from your favorite spot in no time with the Steam Deck. We are assessing if it’s possible to make the game playable onto it
    • Maybe some new content for ACT3, but just a small teasing.

  • On a less optimistic note: in order to ensure transparency, we have to share that the 3rd act is still on hold, as we are unfortunately not generating enough revenue to support further development.
    Have a peek:
    • Since we brought the game 1 year ago, we roughly sold more than 1500 units of the games, just enough to refund the invest for the game rights
    • But not enough to invest and pay for the third act.


Rest assured that we still have the best at heart for Arisen. So be sure to share your interest and talk about it in your friends circle, it would help a lot!
We also believe that releasing the game out of Early Access before the end of the year and porting it on mobile and / or Switch will add more revenue and give a boost to sell more copies.

  • On a brighter side: we are participating in the Visual Novel Fest on Steam from the 7th to the 14th of August, where you can grab our game for the first time at a huge discount : -50%!

The next months will be dedicated to the release of ARISEN in its final version. We hope with all our hearts that it will generate enough revenue to sustain the ACT3. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay tuned!
