Archaica: The Path Of Light
Version 1.18 is live!
Hi there,
This is the first update after the Release!
Big thanks to all of you who helped us by giving a detailed feedback and share a good opinion during the first days after the launch!
Here is the list of fixes and improvements in this version:
Fixes
World Map: if current stone is not active Play button is disabled
Small Chinese translation fixes
On second map (0_02) in case of using 21:9 resolution You can find all hidden objects now
Fixed bad field on map 3_04 (lava)
Fixed bad fields on map 2_06 (dam)
Map 3_06c has less solutions now (map state will be reset)
Bug with resetting music volume to 100% when entering some levels is fixed
Alf-F4 for exiting the game works now
Improvements
Added WIP language slots for testing translation (Czech, French, Spanish)
Space key and middle mouse button resets camera now
These are not all fixes from feedback - rest will be soon!
Important note:
We received a few messages that the scene in the game does not show (only fog is visible). Solution to this issue is:
1. in NVIDIA Control Panel - set anti-aliasing mode to application-controlled
2. and (in the case it not helps) upgrade NVIDIA drivers.
Best Regards!
Notes on the Launch!
Hello, everyone!
Our game - Archaica: The Path of Light has launched a few hours ago. We've tried our best to make it a good game. Hope You like it!
Here are some facts that may interest you:
We are two brothers: Piotr (programmer) and Marcin (artist)
Piotr made 99% of the code, Marcin made 99% of the Art
Work on the game took us more than 3 years. It started with a simple idea that evolved over time. During this time Piotr created from scratch an engine and tools for this game (work on the engine started a bit earlier) and Marcin learned 3D modeling (also from scratch).
At the beginning we worked half-time, after a few months - full-time.
We deal with marketing, publishing and promotion ourselves
We had a special diet during the development: See here
Without the support of family making this game would not be possible!
And of course - many people helped us in various parts of the project!
If You like our game we would be very grateful for sharing information about it on social media and here on Steam.
Hi
In this version, we added support for the Russian language in the game. Also, we added descriptions on the Steam Store page in Chinese and Russian languages. Both these languages are now marked as supported on the Store page.
Big thanks to Vlad Remezov for Russian translation!
Best Regards!

Hello, everyone!

We have big news for players from China - Archaica supports Simplified Chinese now! Note: it's still WIP and not all texts are translated. Also - this language is not marked as supported yet on Steam page. You can select it in Archaica Launcher and it is also recognized automatically (from Steam settings).
Really big thanks to Leon Wong for this translation!

after returning to level (after solving it) camera will not move back and forward between the last two stages
map 5_03 is corrected (invalid field was marked as valid)

Pre-release version 1.14
Hi
In this version, we fixed a few important things at the beginning of the game. Here is the list:
Game bugs fixed:
no shadows on Totem
showing Totem with 'null' achievement after first round (sometimes)
entering tutorial even if the Player selected 'No'
hints from earlier stages are cleared now (in multi-stages levels)
Known and still not resolved bugs:
Unfortunately this is still valid (and rare): sometimes game locks on incorrect camera in level making the game impossible to play - use RESET button from in-game popup menu in this case as a substitute solution.
there is still possibility of placing devices in incorrect places
Best Regards
Archaica release date is finally set!
Hello, everyone!
Finally, after some delays, the release date is set:
