Vanguardian Farewell

Hello,

Considering this project is no longer in development, and since I have no plans of continuing development, I have reached out to Steam asking to remove this project from the Steam store.

The deeper reason:

I don't want to contribute to the sea of unfinished early access games. As someone who buys games on steam, I struggle to find games worth playing myself, and as a developer, I don't want to contribute to that experience, however minute it may be.

Although I doubt anyone will see this, I thank all who supported me early on, it has not gone to waste, as I have continued my path of game development, and this experience was a valuable lesson.

Updates (Graphics)

So far, it appears the vote goes for the original graphic form, so for now that form will remain. Thanks for letting me know. The more opinions, the better.

Also, I might change the game-play mechanics of the game, it would be less open world and more of an arena/dungeon type of room. With a layout setup similar to The Binding of Isaac. Ultimately the goal would be more direct action rather than "wandering around".

Left is the origina (pixelated)l, right is the new graphic form (vector-based), which do you prefer?

Updates (Graphics)

I have now begun working on changing some of the art, hopefully it will be viewed as an improvement.

Updates

-Added Background Story (can be viewed when clicking "New Game" on the title screen)

It's a rough draft, some things might change, let me know what you think, good or bad.

Thanks,

Updates

-Treasure Chest Bug Fixed
-Exiting Gatewood Shop Bug Fixed
-Optimizations to CPU usage

Updates

Added particle effects to enemies when they are damaged/destroyed.

Updates

The ability to chop down trees (not all trees) and to craft arrows from the wood has now been released. I haven't had much time to bug test this release, so please message me if you have any problems.

Thank you for your support,

Update in Progress

Hey guys, almost done with adding in some trees you can chop down to gather wood. So you can expect to at least be able to craft more arrows soon.

To those who are wanting game-pad support I can work on that, however since I don't have a game-pad myself I will need some designated testers. If you are interested just let me know.

Future Goal: add more craft-able items to the workbench. (After this update)

Thanks for your support.

The first true ranged weapon can now be found in the tool shop at the top of Gatewood.

Next focus: Adding the ability to chop down trees.
