Arkhangel back on Steam...and FREE! — Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars News

Hey everyone!

This is Zack, formerly with WNG. I'm excited to announce that I've successfully transferred Arkhangel to my own business entity. Working closely with Valve, we've managed to relist it on Steam, and I've decided to offer it for free from now on.

I apologize for any confusion caused. This change was necessitated by the dissolution of WNG, as the operating costs significantly outweighed Arkhangel's revenue. Additionally, the transfer process was delayed due to the setup of the new business entity for game publishing.

Regarding Arkhangel's future, I don't plan to make substantial updates to the title. Maintenance builds have become quite time-consuming, and updating the entire code for compatibility with the latest version of Unity is not a small feat. However, I'm still passionate about this project and might revisit the codebase occasionally, so I won't say it's the end.

For Mac users, I'm aware that Steam lists the game as incompatible post-Catalina, but I've managed to run it successfully on Ventura. I will create some tutorials and share them both here and on the itch.io page. In addition, I'll be posting a full walkthrough on these platforms, as the WNG website will also soon be decommissioned.

I hope you're all doing well, and I apologize again for any confusion. A big thank you to Valve for their support in this transition.

Best regards,
Zack
