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!
