Is Vetex willing to uncopylock Arcane Adventures? It’s fairly old by now, and very much broken due to FE. A good majority of the assets are outdated as well, so there isn’t much reason to keep it locked. (I’m also pretty sure due to AA not being FE’d, there exists rips of the full game out there)
Personally, I just want to look at the assets and use them in a fan-project I’m working on, without using a cracked copy of the game (which kinda feels icky). I’d also love to work on a restoration version of Arcane Adventures, mostly because I loved AA but also because a lot of players (including myself) have a distaste towards the direction Arcane Reborn took with the game.
That may have been true for the first few years after FE, but nowadays there are so many games that have since surpassed Arcane Adventure’s art-style (Arcane Odyssey itself being a great example of this).
Realistically, the only usecase for AA’s assets now is for fan-projects and recreations of AA, which is more of a net positive for the community I’d say.
restoration, not remake
theyre just updating the assets, thats it
or at least, if they want to give it the OG vibe, keep the assets but update them just enough for them to not break and fix the bugs/problems
Making remakes isn’t exclusively the only thing you could do with the game. Stuff like animations, art, smaller fan-games, stuff like that.
Honestly? I really only care because I’d love to use the character models in AA (such as Theos, Averill, Trigno, etc) instead of using placeholder models for this animation I’m making.
we dont need more arcane reborns
creating ambitious ideas that wont be made in reality
