Sunset Rangers is coming to an end

Hi,

First of all I'd like to manifest my heartfelt thanks for the supporters and players who helped design and develop this game and had a good time exploring all the features it has to offer.

It's been almost 3 years since I had to wrap up development and call Sunset Rangers done and had to stop working and updating it. And, as expected, the game's been slowly dying out to the point where it doesn't have enough players online to justify keeping the servers alive.

I'd happily keep it running for a long time still if I didn't have to cover the server costs out of my own pocket, this being especially taxing to me as an individual developer. So I'm sad to announce I'll have to remove Sunset Rangers from the Steam store and shut down the login server which will render the game unplayable.

Thank you, hope you understand, and sorry for the bad news,
Fisherman.
