Hello everyone,
As you may know, we have been busy working on bug fixes and various technical improvements to Sir, You Are Being Hunted: Classic Edition, in anticipation of our new product, Sir You Are Being Hunted: Reinvented Edition. There has been some confusion about this, and I wanted to address this and explain the differing development goals of the various products.
The studio currently working on the Sir IP is Den of Thieves Games: we are a different company from Big Robot, the studio that made the original game in 2012 and 2013. We founded our company in 2020, and are a completely separate team from the team that made the original. We have been working on the Sir codebase since April of this year and we’re the people behind the 1.5 and 1.5.1 patches for the Single Player and the 1.1.1 patch and relaunch of the multiplayer.
As a personal aside, I love this game and a big draw to working on the IP, for me, was fixing some of the most long-standing issues that this game has. I believe that this game deserves better than it got back in the day, and we made these patches to give back to a community that clearly believes the same thing.
Reinvented Edition, which is our new product that we will be launching in February, is a remaster, but it will also feature many significant overhauls in terms of balancing and gameplay- for that reason it is important to me that we continue to offer the original in playable form: we want Classic Edition to be a up-to-date, bugfree and improved version of the 2013 original but we don’t want to change the gameplay and balancing, which made the original exactly as unique as it is. Since Reinvented Edition is based on the original source code, making these patches has been doable because much of these bug fixes will carry over into the new version. It is my hope that with these patches we’ve gained some trust in the community, and proven that we are not a fly-by company that will release just another shitty remaster and console port.
However, the same is not true for the multiplayer: because the codebase uses the old multiplayer framework, we are stuck using old versions of Unity (unlike the single player, which has been ported to run on modern versions of the engine). The multiplayer has always been a separate codebase, and if we had to upgrade it we would probably be better off remaking it from the ground up. That’s not something we can afford to do!
However, we can meet the community halfway: if we can’t modernize it, then we can at least make it playable; that’s exactly what our goal was with the version 1.1.1 relaunch. The multiplayer as it was, back in 2014 has turned out to be a lot more glitchy than the way people remember it (it really always was this glitchy): a lot of players found it unacceptable and frankly, I agree. This is why we went back and fixed the biggest, most game-breaking issues that were left in the last patch from 2014.
Because the multiplayer technology is this old (so old, in fact, that it’s replacement system, UNET, has also been removed from Unity) it has been a hard two weeks at the studio doing a lot of in-depth analysis without our usual many modern tools. Most of our development manpower these past two weeks was spent on fixing the multiplayer: as a closer, I’d like to share some snippets of code that might give you a glimpse at the sort of issues we had to deal with.
Stay Frosty,
Anne “Yuang” Wijning

Hello there.
You probably saw this already, but ICYMI: Sir, You Are Being Hunted has been updated for the first time in several years, with the 1.5 patch. 64-bit Mac support is now a thing, loads of bugs have been squashed, and the servers are back online for multiplayer.
Not only that but we've announced future plans for a remaster of the original game in 2022, produced by our friends at Dutch studio Den Of Thieves Games. They are long term fans of the title, and understand exactly what makes the game tick. We're excited to confirm a new, standalone game, with new gameplay options, new UI, and overhauled visuals, all developed in the charming, silly, scary spirit of the original game.
Discounts will be available for everyone who owns the classic edition of Sir, You Are Being Hunted.
If you would like to support us in this new venture, then a wishlist always goes a long way.

The robotic gentry are returning, gunning for your hide as you try to escape the horrors of the English countryside. And in the game, wahey! Which is to say that Big Robot, the studio of RPS co-founder Jim Rossignol, have announced a remaster of their 2014 sandbox survival shooter Sir, You Are Being Hunted. That'll be a whole separate game but the original isn't forgotten, receiving a big ol' patch which spruces up the look and technoguts while restoring multiplayer.

Well look at this! For the first time in nearly six years we are rolling out some patch notes for a Sir update thanks to amazing work by our Dutch friends, Den Of Thieves Games. They are long time fans of the game, and are responsible for this comprehensive update.
It's a doubly special occasion, of course, because we are announcing Sir arriving on one of those console machines in 2022, also thanks to Den Of Thieves Games. The console in question is Nintendo Switch. But more on that elsewhere!
And there's more! The Switch version will be a comprehensive remaster, and that will return to PC as a new standalone game, with enhanced visuals, new gameplay options, a modern engine, bigger islands, faster procedural generation, and more! It will be a Reinvented version of the game we love.
You can wishlist it now!

Hello, (procedurally generated) World!
As the headline quoth, we are out of Early Access and on to v1.0!
Here’s a trailer for you to get those v1.0 chills...
https://youtu.be/61k1QHWn9go
For this update we’ve just pushed to Steam there are some minor gameplay tweaks, bunker layout changes, and audio fixes. We’ve gone back in and messed about with the generation templates - the menu we give the level-generation system - so that the levels produce better environments. The initial zone is unchanged, but you’ll find the others now build tweaked worlds that are slightly more challenging. (Don't forget we addressed issues with the spider-craft in an earlier update.)
There are also performance tweaks in this version, although there are still some odd generations that seem to hit performance without our profiler giving us a clear picture of why! We’ve tried to streamline shaders and such to avoid that.
BUT the main change - reflecting the template tinkering - is that there are now overall difficulty levels. You can select these on starting a new game, but also change them in current savegames, which default to normal, which gives you a difficult the same as the earlier updates. (Please note that difficulty can be changed in-game during play, so if you are having a tough time turn it down, or an easy time turn it up, etc!)
Thanks for all the support we’ve received for this, our weirdest and most atmospheric game to date - and please do leave a Steam review if you’ve enjoyed yourself so far!
We’ll have more news on Big Robot things for you soon! <3

Hello you.
Just a quick update about two things, the first is that ANCIENT ENEMY, the card game that Jim has been working on with Grey Alien Games, is available for wishlist, and isn't too far off release (date TBC!) and if it's your sort of thing then we'd definitely appreciate support!
Jim has been overseeing the art direction (his first 2D game!) and wrote the story. We're hugely excited to have worked with two fabulous artists, Dan Emmerson and Jen Pattison. Jake at Grey Alien has had years of experience at this sort of thing, and we're anticipating a tremendous game a bit later this year.
Here's a teaser trailer!
