🏝️ RAR II Update 1.4.2

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0200

Hello there!

I’ve been working on some small changes and QOL improvements on Random Adventure Roguelike II that I’d been wanting to do for a while, as well as trying to fix some issues you’ve been reporting through multiple channels 🙂.

Let’s go!

🕹️ Before RAR: My Old (Terrible) Games

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 00:08:00 +0100

Hello everyone! 👋

In my last post about CORELOCK I mentioned, almost in passing, that RAR was not my first game: that before it I had published some other small ones, and that they were terrible.

I thought it would be nice to share them on a post, for those of you who are curious.

🎮 New Game: CORELOCK

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 23:00:00 +0100

Hello everyone! 👋

In my last post I told you that I’ve been working intensively on RAR III for some months now. That’s true, and that’s where most of my energy is going (besides my main job, as usual!).

But it’s not the only thing I’ve been doing!

🏝️ RAR III is Real

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0100

Hello everyone! 👋

In my last post , back when RAR Islands 1.0.0 landed, I said I would soon write about something I was getting very excited about, and that many of you would probably guess it right away.

Well… the time to talk about it has come:

RAR III is back in development. And this time it’s real. 🎉

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.4

Sat, 25 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0200

Hello everyone!

I’m back with a new update for RAR II (yes, Random Adventure Roguelike II, you read correctly), and this one comes with a feature that’s been requested for a long, long time! 😄

I had to do an update for some Android version required by Google, and took the chance to add some more changes since I had to touch the code anyway 😜

🏝️ RAR Islands Update 1.0.0

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Hello, Explorers! ⛵

Version 1.0.0 IS HERE.

I have been working on this update for so long, and finally, I am happy to say, it’s ready for you all!

Before I jump into the (almost) full changelog, I want to thank, as always, Zeke (@MrDaGrover) who has been testing the hell out of it, and giving lots of ideas, suggestions and supporting me these months… THANKS A LOT ZEKE, RAR Islands wouldn’t be the same without you! ❤️

Without further ado, let’s go to the changes…

🏝️ Upcoming: Version 1.0.0

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Hello, Explorers! ⛵

Version 1.0.0 (coming soon™️), the biggest update I’ve ever done, will bring major post-game content and new experiences for all types of players (whether you love doing new cycles or prefer exploring at your own pace).

Since this is taking way longer than I expected, and it will include a lot of changes, I thought of sharing already some insights to keep you posted, while I tweak the final things and we are testing and improving things (with the incredible help of Zeke/MrDaGrover, as always! <3)

🏝️ RAR Islands Post-Game

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

How are you doing? 🌊

On my side, I wanted to share a bit of “behind the scenes” about where RAR Islands is heading and why it’s taking so long for the new update I’m working on.

After releasing the game, I couldn’t resist adding a few extra mysteries for those of you who like to go beyond, once completing the game: things like the Silent Trader, the Shaper Ruins, ….

🏝️ RAR Islands Update 0.9.8

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

How are you doing?

On my side, I’ve been squeezing the last few days before I start my new job on Monday. Not only polishing RAR Islands with more fixes and improvements, but also trying to wrap up a few personal things (some random Udemy courses I had pending, some songs polishing, and other bits!).

🏝️ RAR Islands Update 0.9.7

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

This new update is going to be a small one for various reasons, one of them being the fact that I need to slow down a bit on the development since I’m going to be back at a full-time job again soon; the other being the fact that I’m spending time defining the post-game content that I will be adding to RAR Islands soon!

🏝️ RAR Islands Update 0.9.6

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

I’m incredibly excited to share this update with you: it’s probably the biggest one I’ve ever released!

I can’t wait for you to dive in and enjoy all the fixes, improvements, and new additions.

The changelist is quite extensive:

🏝️ RAR Islands Update 0.9.5

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

The last few days I’ve been working on the next batch of improvements and fixes for RAR Islands , and I believe the game is getting better and better thanks to all your help, reporting bugs, suggestions, etc. I may not manage to implement everything as fast as I’d like, but I’m doing my best with the time I have! 💪

Let’s jump straight into the changelist:

🏝️ RAR Islands Update 0.9.4

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 18:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

It’s been just over a week since the release of RAR Islands and I couldn’t be happier with all the positive feedback you’ve shared (through Play Store reviews, Reddit, Discord, and even emails!) 💜

was half-expecting to need a quick “day-one patch,” but no major issues appeared, thanks to the incredible testers who helped polish the game before launch, especially @MrDaGrover, who tested tirelessly day and night 🙌

🏝️ RAR Islands releases… TOMORROW!

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 17:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

After years of coding, exploring, testing, and countless islands discovered…

… tomorrow, RAR Islands finally sets sail into the world! 🌊

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post VII

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 15:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵

🎵 I’ve published the RAR Islands OST (together with the RAR I and RAR II tracks)!

I’m nearly as excited as when I finally publish RAR Islands!!! 😄

The album can be find in multiple platforms, but I’m sharing the links to the main ones here:

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post VI

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 15:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵

I’m really excited to share some great news: over 2,000 people have pre-registered for RAR Islands already! 🎉

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post V - Trailer

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 17:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵

This will be a very short post:

I’ve just finished creating the RAR Islands Trailer and uploaded it!!!

I’m really excited — I hope you like what you see!

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post IV - Pre-Registration!

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! ⛵

Intro

It’s been a while since my last update (back in April!), but for a good reason: I’ve been pouring an enormous amount of time, focus, and energy into RAR Islands this past year. On top of the years of work already invested, the last months have been fully dedicated to bringing the game to the point where it finally feels complete.

Before diving into the news, I want to share my appreciation for the people who helped me during this stage of testing.

Without them, I wouldn’t be writing this post today. 🙏

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post III

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0100

Hello, Explorer! 👋🏼

April is almost over, and I’m back with a new post about RAR Islands!

I’ll share what I’ve been working on over the past few months, and what my current focus is. Let’s dive in! 💪

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post II

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 19:00:00 +0100

Hello adventurer! 👋🏼

I hope you’re enjoying the start of December, wherever you are. Today, I wanted to share some updates with you—both “bad” and “good”—as well as some thoughts and projects I’ve been working on.

🏝️ RAR Islands - Post I

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 10:00:00 +0100

Hello!

As recently promised, I’m writing the first post to share some information about RAR: Islands! 🎉

🏝️ RAR III - Post VIII

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +0100

Hello everyone!

First, I want to apologize for the long silence 🙏. Life has eaten me, with my main job taking up most of my time (as usual…!), and personal matters demanding attention. Despite these challenges, I know they aren’t enough to excuse my absence and I could’ve written something earlier… I’ve missed sharing updates with you all and have been eager to get back to it 😄

I’ve been sitting on some exciting news for a while, waiting until I felt confident enough to share it. That time has finally come, and I’m thrilled to bring you all up to speed!

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.3.0

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 19:00:00 +0100

Hello everyone!

It’s been a long time since I last published an update for RAR II (or since I wrote a post here 😅), I know…

…but here I am, finally publising RAR II’s version 1.3.0!

It’s not a big update, but it includes a few bug fixes and improvements suggested by some players, along with a (hopefully) nice surprise (check the last bullet point).

Without further ado:

🏝️ RAR III - Post VII

Sat, 03 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0100

Hey there!

Again, it’s been ages since I last wrote a post about the development status of the game 🙈

No excuses, BUT as usual, I’m getting sucked by my main job and other personal things… plus we’ve been quite busy with my wife looking for an apartment which we finally signed the mortgage and got the keys! 🥳

🏝️ RAR III - Post VI

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0200

Hey there!

It’s been really long since I last wrote a post about the development of RAR III.

Short update on my life:

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.2.6575

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 19:00:00 +0200

It’s been a while! 🤗

As some of you might now from some of my Discord or Reddit messages, in the last few months, I’ve been very focused on my main job and organising our Wedding party (which will happen in a week from now!). ☺️

That’s the main reason why I have been less active than usual (both for RAR II and RAR III development).

These last few days, I was able to squeeze in some time to code some bug-fixes for RAR II and I even added a couple of new features. 🤓

🏝️ RAR III - Post V

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 14:30:00 +0200

Hi!

A new update post for RAR III is here. Wanted to write this one for a long time 😄

The last few months have been quite interesting in my personal life, as we’ve been setting up a second place to stay when we travel to Turkey to visit my wife’s family in Ankara. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. I never saw my wife as happy as she was to be able to spend more time with her family 😊

🏝️ RAR III - Post IV

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 14:30:00 +0200

Hi!

This is the first RAR III post of the year! 😇

Took longer than expected to write this, and I apologize for it, but, you know, between Christmas, some travelling to visit my wife’s family in Turkey and some other personal stuff (and my main job, which some of you already know, sucks almost all my time and energy 😅), I couldn’t find quality time to write this. But here I am, finally! 💪

🏝️ RAR III - Post III

Fri, 24 Dec 2021 15:00:00 +0200

Hi!

A new post about RAR III is here (and probably the last one of the year)!

🏝️ RAR III - Post II

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 14:00:00 +0200

Hello!

A new post about RAR III is here!

Foreword

First of all, I want to share that since this weekend, my wife and I have been sick and we’ve tested positive on COVID (after almost two years of escaping from it!). It’s not being easy but could be worse, so, we are grateful that we have it under control for now. 😅

Now, going back to the game!

🏝️ RAR III - Post I

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 18:00:00 +0200

Hello!

I’ve recently posted a teaser video of the new game which I’m working on, which, all of you already know is going to be Random Adventure Roguelike III. Yes, very original! 🤪

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.2.5814

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 12:20:00 +0200

Hello!

A very tiny update for RAR II with a couple of bugfixes and a couple of changes for the first islands. 🚀

Changelog:

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.2.5729

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 10:30:00 +0200

Hello!

A small update for my little baby should be available soon. I’ve been able to find time during the last few weekends to try to fix most of the bugs I’ve been reported (probably some of them are already there, forgive me if that’s the case!).

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.2

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 13:20:00 +0200

Hello, heroes!

Yes, a new update has come to RAR II, it’s probably one of the smallest I’ve done so far, as many of you know, due to my full-time job I can’t find the time or energy to work on this, but every now and then I try to do some fixes and additions to the game. So, today I decided to send this new update with various fixes I’ve been working on in the last few weeks and months.

This is the changelog:

Past, Present and Future.

Sat, 21 Nov 2020 14:00:00 +0200

Hello!

It’s been a month and a half since the last post, and I’m sorry for that. Since I published RAR II and created this web, I’ve wanted to update both the game and the web more frequently, and be more active both on Reddit and Discord . Sadly, I haven’t been able to do that as much as I’d have loved to. That’s why I thought I should write this post, a different one, a way to share with anyone interested. 🙃

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.1

Sun, 04 Oct 2020 10:30:00 +0200

Hello!

After a couple of months of being able to work every now and then during the weekends, I’ve finally decided to make this udpate!

It’s not the biggest update so far, but I think it adds a few improvements, some known issues have been fixed, and it even contains a secret “community event”!

As always, if you find anything wrong or have any issues, please contact me via Discord, Reddit or email :)

Okay, so here it goes the changelog!

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.0.4506

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 14:34:20 +0200

Hello folks!

A new update for RAR II is here (finally!)!

First of all, let me apologize for taking so long to update the game. As some of you may know, I started at a new job almost 3 months ago and it has been quite a ride. I try to take some time in the weekends whenever I have some time and energy, but it’s not the same as before. I may write a different post regarding the last months of mine.

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.0.4227

Sun, 10 May 2020 13:38:05 +0200

Hello!

I’ve pushed a new update of RAR 2, it’s a small one, but I wanted to fix some issues and try to improve a couple of things before starting adding new features.

I want to thank everyone who is participating in the Discord and in the Subreddit and also adding nice reviews in the Play Store, thanks, really!

About the UPDATE 1.0.4227, it contains the following changes:

🏝️ RAR II Update 1.0

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 20:11:43 +0200

Hello!

YES! The new update is coming! 🎉

UPDATE 1.0 is the biggest update I’ve ever made, and I’ve been working on it for the last two months. You can’t imagine how excited I am to finally be able to share it with you all! 🤩

I’ve had a lot of help from people at Discord with testing. Special thanks to BearerOfTheCurse and MrDaGrover, who have been helping me a lot). More recently we have had many other beta-testers giving a lot of feedback.

🏝️ RAR II Demo

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 16:23:31 +0100

Here it goes.

🏝️ RAR II - February

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 14:36:03 +0100

Hello again! 👋

After a few months working a lot on new updates for Random Adventure Roguelike II, I thought it’d be a good moment to share some numbers (30 September 2019 - 17 February 2020).

Here we go!

🏝️ Hello World

Sun, 20 Oct 2019 17:39:10 +0200

Hello world! 👋

I’ve just finished configuring this new blog I’ve made (using Hugo and a theme made by panr, whose credits are at the bottom of the site), and I though it could be a nice opportunity to share some thoughts about my last project Random Adventure Roguelike II .
