- Very Late Anniversary Developement Update - 29 May 2026
Hey folks, been a while since I made any contact with the world and I just now realized that the Early Access release was already (quite a lot more than) a year ago, so I suppose it's due time that I gave you people a little update on what's going on with the game.The progress to the next big update...... is miniscule :(The last couple of months have been very rough on my free time, and one of the things I had to sacrifice was dev time. Sorry about that.Things aren't looking that bright either for the next month or two, lots of things to get done, so little time to do so.After that though, I think I'll have some time to work on the game.So, update when?Can't say anything specific yet. I do have a content plan ready with lots of stuff I want to implement and improve in the next update, but it's hard to estimate how much it would take to get all that done and especially hard to estimate h…

Hey folks!Been a while since the last update, life's been getting real busy around these parts.

- Small update adding partial gamepad support and fixes - v0.3.1.0 - 22 May 2025
So, ladies and gentlemen, after squeezing out as much work as I could in the last few days I can proudly announce that the game has gamepad support now! Well sort of... This is far from a complete and proper implementation, but it is a start. The game can be played fully with a gamepad, but input rebinding and glyphs indicating inputs are missing. The menu and map navigation can also be a bit tricky. But it works, so go try it out! And if you encounter any issues or have suggestions, be sure to submit them via Discord or the feedback button in the main menu. Also, this update has a bunch of fixes and balance improvements, but I couldn't fix every bug and issue that came up the last few days. I'll be working on them in the coming days. Features Ad-hoc gamepad support Fixes: Fixed miswritten description for the Power Of Greed perk Fixed a few perk descriptions Fixed a few status bar toolt…

- Rustwing released in Early Access! - 19 May 2025
Rustwing just got released in Early Access! The game's out! Very exciting isn't it? Well at least it is for me. At this point I've been working on it for more than 1.5 years and poured a ton of effort into it. The game came a long way and I anxiously await what you dear people think about it! It is not perfect, and I'm sure many issues slipped by me during testing, but I really hope some of you at least will enjoy it! So here's a launch trailer: If you give the game a shot and encounter any issues or have thoughts about it feel free to submit feedback through the button in the main menu, or join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/Ng4Ve6UeZg

Here's an invite: https://discord.gg/Ng4Ve6UeZg
- Rustwing coming to Early Access! - 26 April 2025
So Ladies and Gentlemen, after careful consideration I decided that an Early Access release would be the fitting choice for the game right now. I've been making this game by myself for quite a long time now, with very little player involvement. The game is in an acceptable and playable state now, so I thought putting out an early access version could help me get some feedback from the people who are truly interested in the game. Which, if you read this includes YOU, dearest reader of random announcement of obscure indie game. Anyways, I've been working hard in recent weeks, expect some other announcements soon!

- Demo Fixes - v0.2.1.5 - 1 March 2025
Another small update just came out fixing a bunch of things that came up the last few days. As it turns out there was a catastrophic bug with the tutorial, that somehow slipped by. Should be fixed now. Thanks again for everyone who filled out the Demo feedback form, it truly is an enormous help!
