Version 93

Date: Tue, 28 May 2024
Streets of Rogue Game Banner
Genre: Action, Adventure, Indie, RPG
Developer: Matt Dabrowski
Release Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2019
Here's another 60+ fixes for ya! As long as bugs exist, I'll keep fixing 'em, so keep those reports coming in! And in other news...

So, how's that sequel coming?
While I've still been spending most of my time working out the technical details involved with adapting Streets of Rogue's systems into a large open world (no small task, let me assure you), I did get a chance to implement a couple of new features. The first iteration of vehicles has been added to the game! No actual roads yet, but they exist, can be driven by the player, NPCs know how to use them, etc. In addition, I've begun work on day/night cycles and NPC daily schedules. These new features should open up a lot of interesting gameplay possibilities.

Stay tuned to these patch notes and in the Steam forums, I'd like to continue sharing these little progress updates with you over the coming year.
