Hey all! It's been over a year since the initial launch of Stealthscape and I've been doing some thinking. Stealthscape is a game I worked on for a collective 4 years, a lot of blood, sweat, and tears were put into making it. Upon release, the game did not meet expectations, but no first release does. I didn't even know what to expect.
But as I've moved on from Stealthscape, I've realized that I don't want this game sitting on Steam with next to no user-base. The game was designed to have competitive leaderboards within a community, a limitless Stage Editor for you to share your ideas within a community, and so much more. But there never really was a community.
So I've decided to make Stealthscape 100% free for anyone to pickup and play. No microtransactions, no paid DLC, everything is 100% free. I want more people to experience this game I worked so hard towards making, and this was the best way to go about doing so. I hope you all respect my decision :)
Thank you all for following me on this journey! See you all on the leaderboards :)
Update v1.1.0 - Ultimate Gauntlets!!
Hello everyone, I hope you've all been enjoying the game! This first major post-release update adds the Ultimate Gauntlet. This is effectively speedrunning the game without CarsOS segments. Hope to see you all on the leaderboards :)
Steathscape v1.1.0
Added the Ultimate Gauntlet. Play through every Stage in the Campaign back to back, with it's own timed leaderboards!
Gauntlet buttons are now visible when you've completed the World instead of every Stage in the World
Fixed music not looping properly if you skipped a stage from a previous world
Moved a few Gold Coins so they're easier to find
Various minor changes/bug fixes

Stealthscape v1.0.0 - COMING OCTOBER 20th!!!
Stealthscape is reaching the final stages of development, and I'm happy to say the game will enter Full Release on the 20th of October 2020!
Here's a list of what to expect from v1.0.0:
Full Controller Support
World H
World H's post-world content
3 new Music Tracks
More Palettes to unlock
8 new Ships to unlock
10 new Trails to unlock
New FX Customizations
The ability to beat the game
On top of all this, Stealthscape will release alongside "Soundscape", Stealthscape's OST, which you can buy for $1.99 if you'd like to use the music in your own projects (with credit) or to support me :)
When v1.0.0 releases, your existing save data will be wiped past World B. Meaning if you've completed every stage thus far, when v1.0.0 releases, you'll only have Worlds A and B completed, with C unlocked. Leaderboards for each and every stage will remain (as long as the stage hasn't been heavily modified)
I hope you're all as hyped as I am! Don't forget to wishlist the game if you haven't already!
