A massive hotfix for Arx is in process and with your help, we hope to find and solve all or at least most of the bugs found in the whole game, one of the goals of Arx Insanity and this "quest" is to fix all bugs as possible found in vanilla 1.21 and Arx Libertatis 1.2, to provide a stable game with the best functionality and bring quality to our beloved Arx, you can also send requests and suggestions for the mod.

Edit: Don't worry about a progress update, the mod is in a very advanced state, currently working in the final levels for textures, and most of the work is now focused in audio, scripting, gameplay and item polishment, probably the final release date will be revealed along with a trailer in the next update :)

Additional details about levels:
Yesterday all the dwarf level was finished 100%, the hardest level to remaster ever to be honest, it has new lighting design and now it's more creepy, also it's improved in environments, visuals and sound effects. Gameplay design was changed here, from a persistent and more annoying black beast, it will be a new nightmare and nemesis for Am Shaegar, dwarven mines are absolutely dark, so you will need to find a torch before explore the last part, also there is a little surprise in the level. This has one of the best atmospheres in my opinion. Crypt level 5 received huge/radical changes and improvements from lighting, fog, textures, lore, level design, ambiances and music in addition with new gameplay to bring life and make this last level more interesting and interactive. I dropped a new sneak peek for the dwarf kingdom in the upper banner and below, so you will have an idea without too much spoiler about the looking, much effort was put on this level. Work this level brought me vision problems but it was worth it. Let me know what do you think about this new type of updates, do you want more?, thanks for your support and if you have read all this, have a nice day :)
