• July 2025 - What We've Been Upto! - 16 July 2025

  Greetings, folks! We know it’s been awfully quiet this past month. However, we’re back with important developer updates for Winds of Arcana: Ruination! As you may recall from our last update, we had taken the decision to skip Steam Next Fest: June 2025 Edition and target the festival after. We’re glad to report that we are making good progress on the Final Demo for Steam Next Fest: October 2025 Edition (October 13 to October 20). You can expect a host of changes made based on our amazing community’s feedback. Expect a ton of improvements, including better controls, more animations, visual effects, sounds, and new content in the form of a new biome, several yet to be seen enemy types and of course, a brand new boss fight. We’ll have more to show and discuss once we are closer to October! Apart from that, progress on the Full Game has also been slow but steady! In addition to the above me…

• May 2025 - Dev Update on Final Demo - 21 May 2025

  Greetings, folks! It’s been a hot minute, but we’re back with some very important updates to share with you all. So strap in, because it’s a bit of a doozy… Let’s get the big one out of the way. As you may recall, we had promised in previous dev updates that we are looking to release the next and final Winds of Arcana: Ruination demo for the Steam Next Fest: June 2025 Edition. However, after much discussion with the team, we have taken the decision to push the Final Demo to Steam Next Fest: October 2025 Edition (October 13 to October 20). This was not a simple nor easy decision for us to make. But after reviewing all the feedback we’ve gathered since the last four physical events, the IGU Steam demo (which you can still play!), content creators and our amazing community - we felt it was the right call to delay the Final Demo to October 2025. We do apologize for not being able to meet th…

• Play the New Winds of Arcana: Ruination Demo Today! - 17 April 2025

  ⚔️ Surprise! A new Winds of Arcana: Ruination demo is available to download and play on Steam ⚔️ That’s right! After premiering our latest demo at GDC 2025 - we are now ready to unleash the floodgates and have it available to EVERYONE during the Indie Game Utsav 2025 festival. A couple of things to note: this demo is NOT going to be the last one. The Final Demo, which we are still slaving over as we speak, will be premiering closer to the Steam Next Fest: June Edition 2025. But until then, we wanted to give this as an appetizer before the main course, to show our huge thanks to our amazing fans and supporters in our community. Seriously, you guys rock and we would love to know what you think. Lastly, because this demo was meant for physical events, there might not be as much content in this demo compared to the one from last year. This was intentional and is NOT fully representative of…

• April 2025 - Indie Game Ustav Announcement! - 8 April 2025

  Greetings, folks! Last month was quite busy for us, but we are back from GDC week and have some news to share! For those unaware, our team debuted a special Winds of Arcana: Ruination demo at three major events back to back in March. We got to showcase the game at Courage XL, Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco, and finally GDAI’s India Pavilion at GDC 2025. The response was fantastic and overall, we feel it was a great opportunity to demo and collect feedback from a new audience. With that being said, what does April have in store for us? Based on everyone’s feedback, we are continuing to refine and work on the next major demo. While we can’t say for sure when we will be able to give a definitive date, all we can say is that this one is going to be HUGE. We’re talking a new biome, a new boss fight, more platforming… essentially, this will be the final demo leading up to the game’s offi…
