An update on the status of Runic Survivor

Runic Survivor

Combine Runes to craft unique spells! Survive the endless hordes of monsters as you work to break the four Runic seals! Runic is a casual horde shooter with rogue-lite elements and a charming retro aesthetic.

Hi, As many of you probably know, Runic Survivor has been in early access since it's release about a year ago. When I released the game I had plans to expand on it, but shortly after it's release, I suddenly found myself in a new career (Runic was not enough to pay the bills) and a few other life-events happened at the same time, and Runic took a back seat. As time passed, the pressure of not having made any updates for the game started adding up, creating a spiral of anxiety keeping me from working on it. I fully understand the accusations of vapour-ware in the various reviews, but I truly had every intention to update the game with more features. With all that said, I have decided to take the game out of early access. Again, I had hoped to do this along with a large update to the game, but again the anxiety got in the way. I am hoping with this post and the move out of early access I will be able to work on the game for my own enjoyment rather than any external pressure. I apologize to those of you that purchased the game with the expectation that more content would be released, and I hope you understand my reasoning. Let's hope for a better 2024! - Jakob Stålander Sigvard
