Hey Hunters,
We wanted to let you know we’ve reached an agreement with Gearbox Publishing to mutually part ways and have the publishing rights of Relic Hunters Legend returned to us.
Gearbox Publishing was a great and supportive partner. They’re heading in a new direction now along with many of the titles from their portfolio, including ours. They’ve given us full freedom to control our own destiny and the future of Relic Hunters Legend.
We’re now looking for new publishing partners and/or investors to assist us with server costs and continued development, since we have found ourselves suddenly in this very difficult situation.
Our game ran on Gearbox's servers, which are no longer available to us, but we’re proud that we rose to the occasion and set up new servers, in record time, on our own environment, so hopefully the transition should be smooth for all of you. We'll be keeping a close eye during the next few days, so let us know if anything feels off!
We've had to lay off many of our dear friends on the team due to this delicate situation, but we still believe in the future of Relic Hunters and are still hard at work on the game.
We have just released an update with two of the most requested additions to the game since launch: an Offline mode, and a restructured opening experience which no longer requires you to play any Story content unless you want to (no more "forced single-player")!
We’re incredibly grateful for all your support during these years of development, your feedback, your suggestions, and all the love you've shown to our Relic Hunters. Unfortunately, the gaming industry is going through a difficult time and that is hurting many developers and indie studios like us. Still, we’ll remain resilient to continue doing what we love the most.
We truly wouldn't be anything without our community, and from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you so much for being here with us for so many years, and we hope to be able to do this for many more years to come.
Cheers,
~Mark, Lucy and the Rogue Snail Team
