The City of Arknam: The Last Barbarian preview build 3 Changelog!
🕑 Added 2025-01-31 18:35:21 +0000 UTCGood news Everyone!
The end of the month has arrived, which means it's time to share a new update with you. What's new?
City of Arknam
The doors from the first location now lead to Arknam. This is a place where the population ekes out a miserable existence among the ruins of what was once a great city. Main locations of Arknam:
Arena
Located in the upper part of the city, the Arena can be accessed in several ways:
Crossing the bridge from the prison (you will need a collar).
Trying to persuade the guard (Lewd event).
Entering directly from the castle square (you must pass through the residential quarters).
Taking a shortcut through the tavern (show mercy to the cook).
The Arena is the main hub of content. Here, you can:
Challenge one of the beggars (the number of enemies will increase over time).
Challenge the champion (Lewd event).
Lower Arknam
Completely burned down during the orc siege. Here, you may encounter a destitute cook whose tavern was destroyed. If you show him mercy, he will help you enter the city by bypassing the residential quarters.Additionally, a hidden passage to the sewers can be found here, where Dork the Destroyer's hideout will be located in the future.
Residential Quarters
Filled with drifters (former rebel slaves) who are exhausted from hunger and searching for anything of value.This is a new enemy type. Their attacks and movements will be adjusted in the future, as I haven't yet finished their full asset set. For now, they use half-orc attack patterns but move slower.
Additionally, three new Call of Lust scenes are available for them.
You can also find the master key to the Castle Square gates here.
Castle Square
The area surrounding the Arena.In the brothel, you can rescue Helena, a dancer, from the tramps.
She can teach you how to dance (Lewd event).
You can perform in the Arena alongside her (If you have dance skills, a Lewd event with the champion becomes available).
She will also give you a dancer’s outfit.
Temple of the Three Gods
Located near the prison from which the Barbarian escaped.You can speak with the priest and choose to embrace the faith of the Three Gods. To do so, you will need a bottle of wine, which can be found in the Distillery.
After the ritual, you will receive a slave collar.
If you actively participate in the ritual, the gods will give a sign (Lewd event).
Day & Night Cycle
The game will feature time-dependent events. While I haven't finished this module yet, the visual aspect is ready. Time of day changes every 90 seconds.Currently, the state does not persist, meaning the game always starts in late evening transitioning into night.
Graphics Settings
Many have asked about graphics settings. I know this feature is important, especially for those needing lower settings for a smoother experience.
For now, a basic presetS is available in the in-game menu. A fully implemented version will be released in the next update.
Possible Issues & Limitations
This build is not well-optimized yet, as I spent a lot of time creating new locations this month.
You may encounter bugs and issues, and I’d appreciate it if you could report them in the bug reports section on our Discord channel. This will help me identify and fix problems faster.
What's Next?
I plan to fix accumulated bugs from previous releases and release a bug-fix update by mid-month.
I am actively working on a customization system, which I’ll share more details about soon.
Once that’s done, we’ll move to the next stage of development—expanding game content.
Stay Tuned!

Preview build is completley remake of the original game on the UE5. It's on active dev atm.

What’s the difference between version 0.9.38 and Preview Build 3? If we need to test the game, which one should we use?

This new build is fun, but it needs an option to modify the body, face and hair and also an option to have other clothes and also a "topless" option.

Is there an entry to my lower back or is there a future income because I could not find the entry

Do we need the older build ? Because i started a new game and i don't see anything for the touch in options and i can't fight when i play.
