- Roadwarden, one of the best RPGs ever made, launches final update - 12 September 2024
All good things come to an end and exactly two years after launch, Roadwarden has received its final update. This beautifully written game has won tons of plaudits over the course of its lifespan, with some reviews anointing it as one of the best RPGs ever made. With all updates completed and the game reaching its final form, there's never been a better time to try it for yourself than right now. Read the rest of the story...
- The Final Update - 12 September 2024
Dear Travelers, It’s been two years since Roadwarden’s release. I can’t believe that over this time my humble game passed 3000 reviews on Steam - I’m honored to know that my stories keep reaching new ears. For this anniversary I prepared a final bug-fixing patch. Nothing too large - most of the addressed issues were either typos or misplaced lines of text, like when the game used to display almost identical paragraphs in Creeks, or it put a “0” in the journal instead of a summary of one of the quests. The other fixes include, but are not excluded to: When discussing the job, Photios now mentions correctly that he wants you to approach him right after dawn, instead of dusk, The healing ritual (available to mages only) now works as intended when you pay for rest in Gale Rocks, Foggy got slightly more responsive when asking her about one of the tribes, It’s now more clear that one of the d…

- Roadwarden Patch 1.1.31 - 18 September 2023
Fellow travellers, some mean bugs were hiding in the recent Anniversary Update, but I managed to tackle them rather quickly. Therefore, sorry for any inconveniences caused by this - and thank you for sharing feedback, bug reports and love, of course. Here's a brief changelog for this rather small patch: There has been a major bug that blocked some of the players from selecting the main quest for their character. Specifically, it affected the playthroughs that selected a custom difficulty setting (one that's not among the prepared presets) and didn’t skip the prologue section. Because of this, those players are going to omit a large part of their narrative arc. The bug has now been corrected, but, sadly, the only option to fix it in your playthrough is to start the game from the beginning. Fixed the bug tied to the scholar's Knowledge in the new quest. Fixed the bug tied to typing either…
