I started working on #ARCRaiders nearly 7 years ago when it was just a bunch of wild ideas in documentation and concept art sketches. It's cool to see how many of the original ideas made it in - this launch trailer really captures how fun and epic the game turned out to be: youtu.be/IpeJjQDXNAE?...
