This has gone way off track..you used one specific page to address people complaining about inconsistent art and that page is not found in either of those things.Opening post.
Screenshots.
Nah, let's just REEEEEEE instead.
As a steam released game I guess they most likely won't be putting version after version for download like they did with Roundscape Adorevia.Behold, the power of reading!

Hey folks!
Today is a special day, you'll be able to get your hands on Arenus for the first time.
But, please keep in mind, that this is a Tech Demo. It's purpose is to test aspects of the game, this is not a real demo.
This Tech Demo only contains 1% of the content/Assets we've created for Arenus.
The Tech Demo consists of three aspects:
After you've completed the Tech Demo, please make sure to fill out the following survey to help us, making Arenus a better game.
- A Battle Test
- A Dialogue Test
- A Perfomance Test
Thank you for your help!

Hey folks,
it's time to talk about Arenus!
Tech Demo Results
First of all we want to thank you all for taking part in the tech demo.
One major goal of the tech demo was to test Performance, so we're happy to announce that 94,2% of you had a smooth experience. Of course we'll keep working for the other 5,8%.
Overall feedback has been super positive! Of course this was only a very small glimpse of Arenus but it represents the quality you can expect and we're proud of that.
Also you folks had some pretty great ideas to improve the game. We're already working on some ideas. The most requested feature are tooltips for states and effects, we guarantee that they will be in the final game.
Overall we can say that the tech demo was a success and confirms that we're on the right track with Arenus.
The Road Ahead
As some of you probably noticed on Steam, we've delayed the game to 2019.
I'll be completely honest with you guys.
I overestimated myself, the initial release date of 2018 was crazy.
Producing a game of this size and quality requires time, sweat and blood.
Arenus was announced two years ago and has been in active Development for 1,5 years.
Asset production is completed and now it's all about converting files into content.
But I also would like to mention: I personally prefer a Development time of 2 to 2,5 years over a publisher/investor. Of course there are also great publishers, but the selection is rather limited in the NSFW section.
We want to stay true to our vision and our community.
We want to release a fair product without micro-transactions and such.
What do you folks want to learn more about in future posts? Let us know in the comments!
Next week we're going to release a post about characters and factions in Arenus and of course there will be a big roundscape content patch this month.
Stay tuned!
Sure we won't try, you can trust us...KIWI is your guide through Arenus. This artificial intelligence functions as both an immersive tutorial, a provider of useful hints and a personal assistant. She's an innocent AI though, so don't try to lewd her!
It is looking really good cant wait to see more of it and mayybe a 0.1 version someday

Hey folks!
Today we're going to present you some of the things we've been working on in the last few months.
KIWI
KIWI is your guide through Arenus. This artificial intelligence functions as both an immersive tutorial, a provider of useful hints and a personal assistant. She's an innocent AI though, so don't try to lewd her!
Map Reworks
One thing we've noticed with some of our maps is a lack of depth. While Arenus is a 2D game, there's still ways to make the city look and feel three dimensional. Because of that the team has endeavored to rework a few maps and we're really proud of the results.
UI Rework
Another thing that's really important to us is the UI. A good user interface is easy and fast to use, while still looking good and feeling intuitive.
We're reworking the UI of Arenus to check all those boxes and i'm sure this extra effort will be noticeable once you get your hands on the game.
Vasdonas
Vasdonas was a dull, barren Planet which lacked a breathable atmosphere. Due its high concentrations of palladium and other rare materials, Vasdonas was colonized by the Jade Dominion as a mining world.
To counter the lack of atmosphere, a cheap, artificial atmosphere was created, a process considered more cost efficient than equipping hundreds of thousands of workers with breathing equipment to survive the inhospitable conditions.
In Arenus you will encounter the effects and side effects of this cheap version of terraforming. Of course, the weather will also have an impact as you walk through the cities of Vasdonas too.
During a rainy day, you will encounter fewer NPCs on the streets. While on a cold day, there may be a special offer on a warming dish at your character's local food place.
Thanks for sticking around and let us know what you think in the comments and on discord!
And as always
Stay tuned

It's being sold on Steam as well so I don't think it's coming as a 0.1, I think it's coming in a pretty big first release.It is looking really good cant wait to see more of it and mayybe a 0.1 version someday
Even better news I guessIt's being sold on Steam as well so I don't think it's coming as a 0.1, I think it's coming in a pretty big first release.
They have been working on this for quite some time.
Are you sure? Because I have a game from Steam installed right now with facesitting, pregnant cowgirl and messy foursomes that didn't require any patching. I'm sure bestiality won't be allowed, but that's a bit different than hardcore porn.Steam version won't be hardcore porn, it is not allowed there. Maybe they will put a patch on their patreon about that.
