Hi everyone,
I'm writing to let you know that development on Survivor has officially ended. [v0.41] is the final build, there won't be any further updates and the game will be delisted in the coming months.
Survivor has been up for 5 years. Some of you have been here since the beginning, and a lot of you stuck around through the long stretch where I went quiet and nothing shipped. I've never properly accounted for that gap, and I should have — [the honest reason: burnout, other work and mainly not sure if game development was something I was interested in full-time].
I'm glad I came back for the rework rather than leaving it as it was. Finishing something properly, even late, feels different from abandoning it — and it's the reason ending development now feels like a conclusion rather than a retreat.
What this means practically: The game will be delisted. On September 24th, Survivor will be officially delisted from the Steam store.
If it's already in your library, it stays there permanently — delisting removes a game from the store, not from the libraries of people who already own it. Survivor remains playable either way.
Thank you — genuinely. 230,000 of you have this game in your library, and a solo project reaching that many people still doesn't feel real to me. The feedback, the bug reports, and the people who kept posting in the hub during the quiet years all mattered more than you'd guess.
I'm now working full-time on a new game called Crownfront — a turn-based strategy game where you build a medieval kingdom and fight for control of the map. It's heading to Early Access, and there'll be a demo during Steam Next Fest in October. If you want to follow along, the store page is here:
Thanks for playing.
