- Rogue Eclipse Post-Launch Developer Update [1] - 17 August 2026
Hey everyone,Thank you so much for jumping into Rogue Eclipse, it’s been so great watching your streams, reading your forum posts and diving into your reviews! I’ve just pushed some hotfixes that should resolve some input issues affecting the menus - so hopefully your controllers and mice are working ok now!One area I’m looking into next - from the outset, the earlier levels of Chapter 1 were always intended to onboard players unfamiliar with the genre. However given the feedback I’ve received it’s become clear that more of our gameplay variety should be available earlier on in Rogue Eclipse or at the least our progression needs to be communicated better.If you’ve enjoyed the game please leave a review and for any feedback please do share it in the forums. Thank you for your patience, really appreciate it and look forward to sharing more updates soon! Husban (Mcdoogleh)
