Thanks Zack. It looks good. It shows specs as Minimum Windows 10. Is that correct? Will it play on Windows 7?

Hi! It's a Unity game, so it should work fine on Win7. Looking at the min specs for Unity 2018 (which is a newer version than what Arkhangel is built on) and it can go all the way back to Vista. It might not perform as well, but it should run. I'll do some testing!

OK, just wanted to ask the question since some of us have not gone to Win 10 yet, although we'll be forced to soon I guess.

ARKHANGEL: THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN STARS

July 19th, 2018 – Seattle, WA

Winter Night Games, LLC has announced that its first game, Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars, will be released on Steam for Windows and Mac platforms on Friday, July 27th, 2018.

Michael, Lily, and Gabrielle have recently moved to the frigid town of Haven under tragic circumstances. As they begin to rebuild their lives in this new home and meet the townsfolk of Haven, they quickly discover that not everything is what it appears to be. Michael struggles with dreams of dark waters and an unknown ancient evil resting beneath the cold waves. Are these simply dreams or are they a premonition of things to come?

Inspired by the classic point & click adventure games of yesteryear, Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars is a story told through the eyes of a family that has recently moved to an isolated town in the frozen wilderness. Explore, unearth dark mysteries, solve puzzles, engross yourself with deep lore, and interact with a large cast of characters in this rich and layered narrative beautifully underscored by a thematic and emotional musical soundtrack by composer and conductor Chad Seiter (ReCore, Super Lucky's Tale, Star Trek, FRINGE, Lego Jurassic World, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses).

Availability and system requirements:
PC - Windows 10 (Windows 7 SP1+ compatible but unsupported); i3 Core @ 2.9 GHz; 4 GB RAM; Graphics card with DX10 (shader model 4.0) capabilities; 5.2 GB available space.
Mac – macOS Sierra; 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7; 8 GB RAM; 5 GB available space.

THREAD NECROMANCY!

Hey everyone. Long time no talk. I've sort of disengaged from all forums but I did at least want to let everyone know that I've released the final major content update for Arkhangel. It's a big one. This finally brings traditional point & click navigation to the game along with a ton of additional updates. There's actually been a number of updates since release. Here's a bullet point list of high level things:

+ Added traditional point & click navigation - This is now the default and recommended method of navigation.
+ Multiple direct input updates including faster turning and transitions and allowing the player to continue walking in the direction they are facing after a camera change if input is still active. The direction will update when the user actively changes their input direction.
+ Added game controller support.
+ Added a run option.
+ Added a method of fast travel that unlocks at a certain point of the game.
+ Interface updates that include opening the inventory on a hotspot interaction.
+ Updated Menu Flow & Tutorial
+ Inventory redesign.
+ Adjusted and revamped a ton of camera angles/transitions
+ Reconstructed & revamped many areas to better fit point & click navigation (and just general flow improvements)
+ Steam achievements
+ Several bug fixes and bits of polish throughout including changes to dialogue and some characters.

Here's a video:

Hi Zack smile

Great news !!

I played Arkhangel when it was originally released and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just didn't like the rather poor navigation mode.
So .... Wonderful to hear that that has been fixed dance

Is this new version then a patch or a full replacement ??

Cheers.

Hey Mad! Thank you so much!

It's somewhere in between. smile Obviously, the story and all of that stuff is all the same, but there are lots of locations that I completely rebuilt in order to retrofit the point & click navigation mode. Loads of new camera set ups and transitions as well. I think it feels more solid and polished. I will say that I would NOT try loading an old save game after this update. Since there was so much invasive reconstruction, I would have no idea what to expect...so restore pre-1.5 games at your own risk. smile

Well I burnt the game to disk but I do still have the original files in my Download folder.
So does this new download come with instructions as to how to use it ??
[ I am not a techie person blush ]

Also .... Is there a charge for the new files ??
I just visited itch.io but couldn't find a specific "update" download.

Of course, if it's a new full game I am willing to pay for it !! lol

Thanks Zack. I finally installed the game earlier this year but still haven't gotten around to playing it. I have the game from Steam and I was alerted to the update and did it yesterday.

Oh, I see what you mean. So, when you download this, it's a complete replacement. The way Unity handles an update is that it's essentially a new version from top to bottom. I wish that itch.io had a little better communication on updates, but essentially, you just need to download whatever is on the main page for whatever platform you need and run that instead of your old version. If you've already purchased it, there is no additional charge. Just a free update. smile
