A Quick Note 💬

I shared this on Discord, but I want to say it here too because I believe in being open with you all 🙂

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:

Update 0.9.5

• 🚀 Improvements

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 🙌

This week, amongst other things, I’ve been trying to answer everyone who reached out and I’m super grateful for all the bugs reported, ideas, suggestions… as well as your patience on me working on these things 😄

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:

• Improving Unbreakable: Exiting a dungeon no longer triggers negative effects (such as hunger or weather conditions).
• Fixed water step sounds outside of dungeons.
• Added Gunpowder to the possible recipes to be found or bought.
• Made it possible to buy race-specific recipes after ascending.
• Checked several bugs that I couldn’t reproduce (e.g., selecting a race and wizard advantage can result in different spells each time you start a new game, or the issue with armor recipes greater than bronze appearing in shops).
• Various minor fixes.
• Added a new Island type! (Very low probability of appearing)

PS: Soon, I’ll try to write a post explaining why there haven’t been any updates about RAR III and share more details on another side project. Stay tuned! 😄

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. 🤓
