Now you can have the world of ARIDA on your phone!
Sign up for our newsletter to download the sticker pack for Whatsapp and Telegram, after all, why type if you can use a funny expression from our Cicera?
By subscribing to the newsletter you will receive cute letters made directly by the characters from the backlands of ARIDA, with news of how things are going there and information about we are creating for ÁRIDA: Rise of the Brave!
Who played ÁRIDA: Backland's Awakening experienced a little of the importance of the banners in Cícera's journey.
Now, in ÁRIDA: Rise of the Brave, this importance unfolds in new information that connects to our protagonist's dream: crossing the backlands on foot to find the village of Canudos.
Banners are symbols used in many contexts, almost always as allegories of beauty, guidance, and devotion. Critically embroidered or made in a stripped-down manner with a piece of cloth, they hold the history and identity of a group of people.

In ÁRIDA: Rise of the Brave we will apply new visual techniques that will give more life to these elements, which will also have other symbols and other colors.
When you are in the company of Cícera and Titela inside the backlands, do not ignore the presence of the banners. They say more than our eyes can see.
Aoca Game Lab's Discord is active again!
As we did during the development of the previous game, now with ARIDA: Rise of the Brave we will use Discord to bring our community into Aoca.
The previous experience was great! People from around the world helped us with development by reporting bugs, giving opinions on choices or simply getting to know more about the people who make Aoca exist.
We learned a lot about how we can improve interaction with you, so we changed the structure of the server. But, of course, your feedbacks are more than necessary!
We will continue the posts on our social networks, but if you want to be closer to the universe of ÁRIDA and have access to exclusive content, our server at Discord is your place!
Changes require transformations. Or is it the other way around?
Whoever played ARIDA: Backland's Awakening knows that Cícera faces a challenge of great proportions. A condition that questions the limits of what it means to be a child in the Brazilian backlands of the 19th century.
The new game in development, ÁRIDA: Rise of the Brave, will have some transformations as well. The central experience that defines the world of ÁRIDA remains, but we will present new ways to dive into this connection with the backlands and its stories.
After all, we at Aoca are also constantly changing. Learning to leverage what we do best and adjusting where we need to grow. Very tuned with the feedbacks from people playing ARIDA around the world.
In this moment of global changes, we remain focused on creating this new game, with the conviction that it will be another beautiful path that we will create together!
Many people already have ÁRIDA: Rise of the Brave on their Steam wishlist. Go there and show us some love. This is the best way to put more and more people in contact with the new ÁRIDA! ❤ 🌵
Survive the challenges of the backlands is the least you will need to do.
In ARIDA: Rise of the Brave, in addition to survive to overcome the drought and cross the backlands, you will need to find the clues that will take Cícera to Canudos. The place where dreams dwell, according to some.
There will be new and bigger areas to explore, other stories to discover and new connections that will be made by our brave protagonist.
The paths of Cícera will intersect with those of this formidable little goat named Titela, and from the difficulties of this journey, a strong bond of friendship will be born. 🐐 ❤
Titela is very cute! A goat still very young, a little flustered and quite loyal. Don’t judge his strength by his size.
He's beloved at Aoca and we believe you will fall in love too. 😍

We made adjustments to some transitions of the scenes. In this way, important moments of the game became visually smoother.
Languages
We reviewed the text in both available languages, and now everyone in the backlands speaks properly, in English and Portuguese! If you still find something in the texts, feel free to contact us.
