PS: I'm sure some of you are wondering if now that the game is fully released if that means it will no longer receive updates. That is not the case, I always continue to fix and improve my games over time. I also plan to add some extra free content additions here and there when I have the time.

Corrosive Supporters,

The time has finally come! Lawless Lands will charge out of Early Access this Friday!

Today, I'm finishing the game and will release the final update later on this evening! Tomorrow is for testing and finalization and then Friday the game will fully release!



Thank you to everyone who has stood by me throughout this time! I'm absolutely excited beyond belief and hope all of you are too!

Lawless Lands,

Hey everyone!

So, the story with this update is that it's come early because there were some bugs which halted progress on the current main quest. This is to remedy that, and also add all the other new stuff I've been working on.

The final update/final release is still planned for mid-late August, but it's looking more like late August as I have been very busy with school - I'm graduating with my bachelor's soon and the work is piling up. Bear with me and please have some patience if I'm delayed a little.

This update was exported with me right in the middle of working on the final stages of the main quest. That said, if you play through it, you'll eventually come to a door which cannot be activated when it should obviously be usable. That is the end of what I have right now. You DON'T have to report that to me - that's intentional for the moment.

Check out the complete change log below!

Lawless Lands,

Hey everyone!

So, I decided to break the final update down into two large updates instead of one gigantic update. Originally, I wanted this content to go with the remaining work, but I found that some people are willing to go above and beyond and help me with bug testing, and that certainly helps me a lot. I can get content created, get bug reports and fix them, and continue on without being slowed down.

This update adds chapters 3 and 4 of the main story, a bunch of polish and bug fixes, and a lot more content as well. General improvements and so on.

The final chapter of the story and the rest of the content for final release will be available within the next few weeks. I'm working as efficiently as I possibly can by fixing problems as I go and also adding new stuff, so please be patient with me as it's a lot to do.

Another big reason I'm releasing this update now is because it patches a lot of issues that were present in the current build and I wanted them removed so people can enjoy what is currently available without the painful bugs.

All currently known issues are fixed - 100% of them. If you have any more issues, please do let me know so that I may fix them and deliver a better final product.
