Kickstarter campaign + Prologue new patch change log
Hello travellers!
Today is an important day for the team: our Kickstarter campaign is live and you now have the possibility to help us!
[previewyoutube="UTK-Dd4aO7k;full"] But why Kickstarter and why do you need our support?
70% of our development budget is already funded.
Your support here on Kickstarter enables us to finance the full development of ARISEN! We want to have the chance to add the missing features and illustrations, to offer more and more story content, and of course to give ARISEN the best English translation.
We also want to work with our community to get as much feedback as early as possible to make our game the visual novel the gamers actually want. Don’t be shy! Tell us what you like in the alpha demo, share your opinion with us. We love interacting with players, whether it be on Discord or social media!
We can make the dark fantasy narrative game you are waiting for! You can support us here: Arisen Kickstarter
But that’s not all, we have also updated the Prologue with some new things and you will find below the full changelog:
Bugfix :
Adding screens resolutions
Small visual bugs fixed
Better performance and optimization
New content:
Journal: more previews
Adding new settings (volume, open dyslexic, nudity)
Adding new animations when characters appear
Adding new feedbacks when a character speaks
New colour for the narrator

Dev's News #5
Last Saturday was a wonderful day for the fellowship of Maratus, because we released the free prologue of ARISEN: Chronicles on Var’Nagal on Steam! After more than one year of hard work, we were proud and excited to share it with you!
Among the 2250 who added the prologue to their library, 350 of you beautiful people played it until now. Thank you, and thank you for the ones who let us some reviews! Actually we read them carefully and we take good note of what you have to say about the game.
Because we always try to do better for you travellers, we are working on these issues:
The English translation, even if we hired a professional translator to do it, was pretty bad so we asked to another company to do it again. As soon as we receive the whole text well translated, we will let you know!
Some of you were a little disappointed that you couldn’t choose another face or body for your character. We totally understand but we can’t afford multiple appearances for the player due to the fact that your character will appear in illustrations (the so called CGs). We may think about personalization in the next games ;)
A few people were wondering how we are dealing with mature themes and delicate subjects like misogyny, racism, transphobia, etc. We are working with two different (and wonderful) proofreaders: Racky, who is specialized in the subject of racism, and Johanne, who will check if the script isn’t offending about trans* people.

Hello traveller,
Nice of you to pay me a visit. Have a seat. You came to me for news, didn’t you? You want to know more about ARISEN… What can I tell you?
A NEW SPECIES
In Var’Nagal, my friend, there is so many elves! I barely can tell how much elven species still exist… Some of them are so rare you can feel lucky to meet once in a lifetime. For example, the aquatic ones. I think only one tribe remains…
WORKING ON THE CARDS
To express yourself, maybe you’d rather use this new Cry card… What do you think of her? Do you feel her sadness, her sorrow?
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GLOBAL MAP
In the Land of the Scattered Sources, you’ll avoid the Swamp of the Flying Fool, the Mexevore Forest and the Butterfly Mountains… They’re very dangerous! Darlamil is a young dynamic city-state ruled by a Merchant-King… Who is said to be chosen by the god of the city himself!
SOME HELP FOR THE FELLOWSHIP OF MARATUS
The 2D artist Lycoris, you can find on the magical network Facebook, has accepted to work with the fellowship of Maratus. She is the one who draw the concept and the card with the aquatic elf. Her support will be precious to the team as the amont of work is getting bigger and bigger! There will be more surprises in the future...
Thank you for listening to an old crazy lady, traveller. We’ll meet again I promise: then I will tell you more about ARISEN, Var’Nagal and the fellowship of MARATUS...
Have a nice day, Sage Zorah

Hello traveller,
Nice of you to pay me a visit. Have a seat. You came to me for news, didn’t you? You want to know more about ARISEN… What can I tell you?
WORKING ON THE CARDS
As you may know, Elene, the artist, is always looking for improvement in the cards you will use to communicate. Here is an example of her work. Do you enjoy it? The team want them to be more simple, easy to understand. It is not over. Other paths are considered, traveller.
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GLOBAL MAP
In the Land of the Eleven Cities, there are only cities-states. People say that the Dreaming Island is a god fallen asleep. Non-humans rules the Territory of Ancient Cults… What secrets are hidden in the Cursed Ruins?
A GIF TO SUMMARIZE THEM ALL
Here, traveller, watch carefully. This is an overview of the future… Here is Koda, the second brown elf you will meet. Do you find these choices intriguing? What would you choose to do?
Thank you for listening to an old crazy lady, traveller. We’ll meet again I promise: then I will tell you more about ARISEN, Var’Nagal and the fellowship of MARATUS...
Have a nice day, Sage Zorah

Hello traveller,

GAMESCOM
The fellowship of Maratus met a lot of people in Köln! Warriors, mages, bards, druids… It was an exhausting yet terrifying journey. The feedbacks about the demo were excellent. Elene, Sylvain and Anaïs were pleased to be introduced to new, interesting, crazy people in the taverns of Köln.
Elene is on the left, Sylvain is on the middle, and Anaïs on the right. They seem harmless but they are mischevious creatures, so… Be prepared!
KODA’S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
Now Koda is able to show you his feelings. Joy, fear, disgust, anger… Will appear on his face. He can be rude sometimes… But if he trusts you, he will be the sweetest man ever, dear.
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GLOBAL MAP
Here is the south east of Var’Nagal. In Woshuxi you’ll find nomadic clans of humans and orcs. They’re kept under surveillance by the winged halflings and suspicious gnomes living in the closed mountains...
Thank you for listening to an old crazy lady, traveller. We’ll meet again I promise: then I will tell you more about ARISEN, Var’Nagal and the fellowship of MARATUS...

A CURSOR
See, traveller? This is not the usual cursor. It has been forged in Maccialatt, with the purest gold… Sadly it has cost a lot of innocent lives...
THE CENSUS TAKER
Huh… You know, my friend, this man… Is not a good man. He will be the first to greet you in Maccialatt. I am sorry to tell you it won’t be the last time you see him. Be careful when you speak to that human, traveller...
AN OVERVIEW OF THE GLOBAL MAP
You haven’t seen this part of Var’Nagal’s map, have you, my friend? This is the south east of our world. It’s a beautiful place! Maccialatt is my home… And it will be yours for a moment… Maybe you will learn to love this country. Maybe you will try to destroy it. I couldn’t be mad at you if you do so...
GAMESCOM
You know, the fellowship of MARATUS is looking for going on an adventure! They will ride a silver horse to the city of Köln, in Germany, in order to meet publishers. Who are they, you are going to ask me, traveller? They are companies who publishes video games that have been developed externally by someone else. For example, MARATUS. The fellowship wants to convince someone that ARISEN deserves to be chosen!
Thank you for listening to an old crazy lady, traveller. We’ll meet again I promise: then I will tell you more about ARISEN, Var’Nagal and the fellowship of MARATUS...
