- LONE RUIN - What's Next? - 16 January 2023
Hello! It’s been an overwhelming week in a lot of ways after launching LONE RUIN this week, so thank you all for your kind words, support, and feedback so far. The reach my little twin-stick roguelike has made has really taken us by surprise – we never really expected so many people from all over the world to play. It’s been super fun to watch LONE RUIN be played on Twitch and have so many people engaged with the game on Steam and social media. Speaking honestly and transparently, some of you love it (thank you!) and some of you didn’t. While I’m keen to not completely change the core of LONE RUIN and what it’s about, I’m working hard alongside Super Rare Originals to make improvements, fixes, and increase replayability. I’m the only developer, artist and designer on this project, and I’m going to be careful not to overpromise, but we have some ideas how to maybe make some of you happie…
