Eurogamer • • technology
Key Points:
- Embark Studios is revamping the crafting system in Arc Raiders to address player feedback about the time-consuming process of gathering missing materials.
- The developer introduced an "Acquire Resources" button that provides a streamlined list of all available sources for needed materials, eliminating the need to navigate multiple menus.
- This change aims to reduce frustration and make crafting feel more purposeful, allowing players to spend more time raiding instead of managing inventory.
- Embark acknowledges that improving crafting is an ongoing effort and plans to continue addressing related pain points systematically.
- The studio also recently re-recorded some AI-generated voice lines to improve audio quality, recognizing the difference between human and AI voice acting.
