Thank you all for being patient! Apologies again for the delay. I'll be working on improving issue 2 and fixing any issues that come up. Update for some of those improvements drops next Wednesday 07/20/2022. I hope you all enjoy the new content and have a great weekend!

Spryward Boss Fight

Hey everyone, it's Noah. I contracted a virus 2 weeks ago and I've been affected really bad. It's hurt my ability to finish issue 2. I will be postponing issue 2's launch to 07/14/2022 in order to get healthier. I apologize for the delay. I'll continue to keep you posted just in case anything changes. I hope you all have a good week.

Preview for Issue 2 : The Apastron will make her return in Issue 2. Apastron kicked off this shared universe of games and is on sale for the Steam summer sale! Check out episode 3 of Apastron to see Spryward's involvement in the multiverse. In issue 2 Spryward takes on the Metroborg as a crowd of civilians gather. The interim CEO of the Adams Corporation makes an offer to Spryward, but does his friend Neha have a better one?

[h2]Note From Dev : [/h2]
Welcome new players! I'm Noah a solo developer. I've been making stories in a shared universe since 2019. This is my 3rd early access project. Spryward is the sequel to my zombie game Vacancy Unlimited. I'm going to attempt launching monthly issues while in early access. I'll be using community feedback to improve the base game on top of making new content. Feel free to use the steam community forums for suggestions and bug reports. To learn more about me and what I'm working on check out these links below :

Here's an audio post I made giving some thoughts about releasing my first issue!
