- Release is HERE! - 28 August 2025
Hello everyone, the release is HERE! Thanks to everyone who played the demo and the prelude, and for all the feedback, that really helped. For the next month I will try to improve the network performance and fix all the bugs that you all will eventually find. After that I plan on adding some more content, like new skills, skins, maps and some weapons. Save Files Sadly the prelude and the demo were development builds, and thus their savefiles are located on a different folder than the release version, if you intend on using the same save, it's possible to transfer the files from the older folder to the new one. Here are the steps. First install and open Roguevive First you have to go to the Installed files of the Demo or Prelude, you can go via Steam. First you right click in the game name at the library. Go to Propreties, a new window will open, thre you go to Installed Files and click…
- Release - 15 August 2025
Hello everyone, It's been a while. I bring news about the game, it's finished. I am only going through some final testing to be sure the release can go smoothly. The game will be released 2 weeks from now, on August 28th. A lot of the bugs have been fixed, there's a lot more content, and the performance of the game has been vastly improved both offline and online. But to achieve this, I had to rewrite a lot of the code and update the engine version, sadly the save location files have been changed with these updates. The save file still works, but it needs to be manually transferred to a new folder. I will make a guide on release about how this can be done. To make up for this problem and for the great delay of the game, I will make a release discount, I am still looking at how much of a discount I can provide, since this is my first paid game and I am not familiar with a lot of the opti…
- Prelude is here - 28 September 2023
Hello everyone, The prelude is here and available to download. I will keep the updates coming to that version, seems to make more sense. I activated the Cloud Saving, so if you open the Demo and afterwards open the Prelude, it should carry your progress, but in case it don't, here's a tutorial on how to manually carry the save file. Save location tutorial On your steam, Right-click the Roguevive and go to Managa > Browse Local Files Once on the Local Files, access Roguevive > Saved > SaveGames There is a file named "saveGame.sav", that is the one you need to copy and paste to the same directory on the Prelude. That's it, any problems, feel free to send a message or leave a discussion on the forum, I will help those who need it. Also I made some fixes, mostly multiplayer QOL. Patch notes: Changed reload bar color for better visibility Slightly changed the Shotgun Wolf color in comparsion…
