On Rusty Trails News

Dear Steam community,

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that we will be increasing the prices of our games on Steam starting next month.

We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we want to assure you that we have not taken this decision lightly. As you're surely aware, over the past decade, the cost of development and production has increased significantly due to inflation. Inflation affects the cost of materials, wages, and other expenses, which has impacted our business operations. We need to adjust our pricing to keep up with these changes.

The new pricing for all of our games, from May 1st:



All other currencies will be adapted to match the USD price using Steam's regional pricing recommendations, which of course means that actual price increases may vary. We apologize for not communicating all regional pricing updates in advance.

We remain committed to providing you with high-quality games and delivering the best possible gaming experience. We appreciate your continued support, and we hope that you will understand our need to adjust our pricing accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with great games on Steam.

Sincerely,
Black Pants

Hey there,

Just a quick update since our Steam Deck has arrived and we tested all of our games on it.



We can happily report that On Rusty Trails runs very well on the small device!
No tweaks to the settings are required, it will launch the Linux build out-of-the-box and it didn't seem to have any problems with the hardware.

You can even crank it up to 8x MSAA with V-Sync enabled, and it will push a stable 60 FPS. Please note though, that while the picture quality with MSAA is very nice compared to FXAA, it will eat more battery.

Have fun!
Black Pants

Good day everyone,

we're here to bring you an early present: you get 1GB free drive space!

We added compression support to our game engine, so all that data needs much less space on disk. After downloading, On Rusty Trails is now occupying a mere 500 megabytes. Of course, all the content is still there, it's just more tightly packed and loads up even faster!
The only downside is that this patch is much bigger than the previous ones, because you basically have to redownload the whole thing. Future updates will be back to a few megs, though.

Complete list of changes:

• Added compression for game files, which reduces disk usage from 1.7GB down to about 500MB
  
• Added multi-threaded asset loading, which improves loading times
  
• Improved controls menu, each input can now be mapped to multiple buttons or keys
  
• Added Xbox 360 controller prompts (from https://opengameart.org/content/free-keyboard-and-controllers-prompts-pack)
  
• Fixed a bug which caused controls settings not to be saved
  
• Fixed minor localization issues
  
• Steam account name and avatar are now shown in the main menu
  
• Updated Steamworks SDK to 1.41
  
• Updated libSDL to 2.0.7
