Hello everyone! 2 months passed since the engine upgrade was announced and deployed into a beta build for you to test. Since then around 12% of the users played in it without any new (there where still some old ones :/) issues to be found.

In particular, I focused on a long-overdue task: upgrading the underlying Unity engine. This change should enhance the graphics and pave the way for future improvements. With that in mind, I invite…

Hi Everyone! It has been a while since the last update on Rogue Empire and I wanted to let you know I am still alive lol.

In any case, what…

Ok guys the survey is closed!
