Arctic Awakening Delayed

19 de nov.

Hello Arctic adventurers!

We started working on Arctic Awakening nearly 5 years ago. Our team has poured all of our creative efforts into bringing this thrilling tale to life, and we can’t wait for all of you to start exploring the wilderness with Kai and Alfie.

We're in the final stages: mechanics are being finalized, QA is squashing the last stubborn bugs, performance is being put on overdrive and every last leaf, trail and mysterious moment is getting the polish it deserves. Localization is also in full swing to make sure the game speaks to adventurers all around the world.

Today, however, we have to ask all of you patient adventurers to wait just a little bit longer. We have to delay the release... one more time. We're truly sorry to keep you waiting longer than we hoped, but we're committed to making this experience something truly unforgettable.

We know delays are frustrating, and believe us, we'd love nothing more than to have the game in your hands right now. But we refuse to settle for “good enough.” While we can't announce a release date just yet, rest assured it's coming soon, and we're so excited for you to experience what we've been working so hard on.

Thank you for your patience and support. It means the world to us, and it's what keeps us pushing to make Arctic Awakening the incredible adventure you deserve. We can't wait to share it with you – see you in the snow soon!

-The GoldFire Studios Team

We also recently updated the demo, which includes a bunch of improvements including:

A long list of bugs and general polish (including some crashes).
25-50% performance improvements across the board.
Various navigation and flight improvements to Alfie.
Improved gamepad support.
Fixed various issues with the save system.
Level design polish.
Added some new settings including FOV control (more coming soon).
Further sound effects and music polish.
Full professional translations for Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Portuguese (Brazil). German, Spanish, French and Russian coming soon.

We really appreciate all of the feedback on the demo -- it's been truly invaluable to the development!

Demo opinion

Story was interesting, voice acting was great. Disliked the lack of options for graphics, the inability to change your controls, the lack of a button to simply pick up an item and put it immediately in your inventory rather than inspect it and then pocket it and the lack of a hotkey to see what is in your inventory already. Story wise, graphic wise, everything else is in place for me to enjoy the game but the lack of proper graphical and control options really make me concerned....

Enjoyed the demo to a point

The story is interesting and the voice acting is solid. I like the art direction for this sort of game, too. And I didn't mind that the objectives were vague and I had to use common sense to figure some things out. But I had to stop after running around in the forest trying to find a rustling sound to scare away. I'm not sure if I had a bug or something but I waved the torch in two different places and then I couldn't hear any rustling anymore. I wandered around in a big area outside the plane but nothing...

Release date?

2024 is still marked as the release date and yet, we're under 2 months until the new year. Is the game still on track to release this year?

Abandoned the demo - couldn't make progress

I was trying to follow the prompts, there didn't seem to be anything more I could do near the plane after gathering the sticks and fire starter, so I stared to explore the area. I got badly lost (the map is quite large apparently), but I found the Get Unstuck button to take me back to the plane. Back at the plane I now had a prompt to start a fire, which I did successfully using some seat foam and now there is nothing I can find to interact with at all except for the chairs in the plane which I can sit ...

Demo Review. Meh

Okay before this gets started. Love the concept, seems well funded. But It's missing a lot of common sense gameplay mechanics. This will go over a list of things I consider NEEDED to be in the demo but were completely missing for us to test things out or issues about some and some complaints on story telling. +++++ Story needs to be more catching .. I felt more attached to the gameplay mechanics then story options. Would rather have better gameplay and a on the rails 1 track story then a " Your Choices E...
