Happy New Year!
Hopefully you enjoyed the holidays. It's been a little quiet on our end, but we've actually still been working on the game behind-the-scenes all this time, slowly working on updates. We had to take a bit of a break to focus on releasing our other game, Rhythm Doctor, into its full 1.0 and then taking a few weeks to rest afterwards. But now that we're back…we have a new ADOFAI update for you, just in time for the 7th Anniversary of the game's release! Here's what's new:
World AR: Libertas
New Featured Levels: Classic Wave 12 and Tech Wave 3
We also want to let you know that we're almost done with the Nintendo Switch version of A Dance of Fire and Ice, and we'll have news on the release date very soon. If you missed the announcement, we'll also be adding local co-op multiplayer to both the PC/Mac and Nintendo Switch versions of the game.
When we first started making A Dance of Fire and Ice, I don't think we ever could have imagined that people would still be playing the game seven years later. It's been very crazy (and very fun) to see how the concept of representing music as a winding path can be iterated in so many different ways.
Thank you for playing all these years!
We're excited to add a new level to the game! Libertas is a track by Zekk, coming to ADOFAI as part of Arcaea's Crossing Pulse song exchange. Arcaea is a fantastic rhythm game that we've looked up to for a long time, so it's a huge honor to be able to take part in Crossing Pulse. It's available on mobile and Nintendo Switch. If you didn't know, the mobile version of Arcaea actually includes Third Sun, from the Neo Cosmos DLC. Check it out!
Our Libertas level also includes some guest art! A few of the segments were drawn by Juan Diego León, a Peruvian artist we've been excited to work together with! The frantic channel-flipping nature of this level was a perfect opportunity to use different art styles, and we're so happy with how Juan brought our cyberpunk and superhero ideas to life.
