Hi all,
I've finally finished testing on the demo for the Arcane Duels. The link below will download a zip file. Its just a folder with an exe file and some other needed files you dont need to touch.
The link may take a moment to pop up the download:

To recap, you begin your adventure as a duelist and are accepted into the duels. You spend your days training, questing and working to get stronger and get better equipment etc. You get more famous and make impactful decisions through out the game.
The controls are W A S D keys for navigating around, use space to select things and use A and D to go in and out of sub menus.
Press A on the over menu to hear your gold and how many days until your next duel.
There are of course some parts of the game that still need work, this is to show off the concept. Music has been limited to avoid license issues.
I'll be interested to see what people think of the parts of the game where you actually walk around, as I've tried a method of having the game tell you what is in front of you, but it plays the TTS on the object, so its louder when you are closer. Hopefully that works well but I'll let you decide.
I have done a lot of testing, but please let me know if you find any issues.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think, I'm sure this will only be the first draft of the game. There is a difficulty setting but as its only the beginning of the game, its not too difficult anyway.
Also if you want to follow the progress of the game, I update the twitter account pretty frequently at
