  • Just over one year later... - 25 November 2021

    Hello, It's been 1 year since you guys have heard from me. I apologize for that but a lot of stuff has happened in my personal life. aside from that The River is undergoing a complete revamp of its game play and mechanics on how the game is played and the background stuff no one sees. to make a better play experience all around for you guys. I hope to have a teaser video out for you on or before the 1st of January, 2022. Thank You, Josh.

  • Silent Progression - 12 December 2020

    Well Hello, It's been a while since you guys have heard directly from me. Josh the owner and creator of The River, I would just like to say thank you to all of you who have taken the time to either play the game or at least look at the games page. I have been working on another update and this update will bring bug fixes more than it will new content but I will attempt to push a little of that in there too for you guys!. during the week I only have about 2 hours of free time to work on the game before I have to put my little one to bed and then so myself. On the weekends I try to work late into the night to get progress made. The next update may take a month or so (holidays and all that) but I promise you that when this update drops you are going to want to play it and see what it has to offer this time!. Thank You, Josh.

  • The game is not dead or abandoned - 4 April 2020

    as the summary said (if you read it) so ill post here as well... "So basically I'm a one man team at this point and trying to get the game better for a future update with a day job working 9 hour days 5 days a week" I am still working on the game slowly with the free time I do get. Please do not think the game is dead or abandoned cause it simply is not. For those of you who have played it so far yes i know a lot is most likely broken and does not work correctly I am working on that (obviously) but please have patience with me and most likely the game as you know it now will not be the same when I release the 1.0 update. I do not have a time frame for release but if i did i would say around end of summer this year 2020. Stay safe have fun and avoid Covid-19 at all costs. Thank You, Developer Josh
