Rise of Gun news & patch notes

Hello everyone! The demo version is now available!

I would be happy to hear your feedback.

This demo is very important to me. It will help determine the future of the game, as it features a fairly unusual crafting system and gameplay loop.

I'm very interested to see how you feel about this type of gameplay.

I tried to make the game immersive while avoiding unnecessary complexity.

There is no traditional inventory. Instead, you only have two hands, allowing you to hold two items at once. You can also combine items together to create new ones.

But don't worry, the game includes various storage options:

• Pockets (quick-access slots where you can store and retrieve items) • Backpacks • And much more

Difficulty settings are not available in the demo yet, so the default difficulty is enabled.

What's available in the demo:

• 1.5–2.5 hours of gameplay • Crafting • Quests • Bonus system • Building • Farming • A world with varying gravity • Achievements • Trading • Progress saving • And much more

Plans for future updates:

The demo will continue to receive updates with more content, bug fixes, and new features.

Closer to the Steam Next Fest, I plan to add localization for multiple languages.

Hello everyone! A small pre-summer sale has started. This is a great time to get the game at a discount.

Discounts are also active for all my other games.

A demo version of the new game will be available very soon. Also, this summer I will start working on an update for Rise of Gun, so stay tuned for more news!

Hello everyone!

Today I’ve released a new test branch with the game updated to Unreal Engine 5.4!

This version should fix several old issues and significantly improve performance and optimization. Visually the game looks almost the same, but the lighting is now different, some parts of the UI are slightly broken, and a few animations have issues. These are minor problems that will be fixed later.

Switching to the new engine version is very important for us. The old UE4 version is no longer supported, which made fixing many bugs extremely difficult or even impossible. Moving forward, implementing new content and updates will be much easier.

⚠️ Important Warning:

Saves made in this test build may break your main game.

Therefore, if you have unfinished playthroughs and don’t want to lose them please do not download this branch.

You can safely test the new version after completing the main game.

How to restore your game if something goes wrong:

- Disable Steam Cloud

- Delete the folder with the new saves

- Launch the old version of the game

If that doesn’t help, completely delete the saves folder.

Test Branch Name: ue5_test

Password: IloveRiseOfGunUe5

You can find a detailed tutorial on how to activate the test branch in our Discord server.

Thank you all for waiting for the updates! I hope you’ll like the new version and that it will run much better and more optimized. This build should especially help those who couldn’t launch the game before.

I look forward to your feedback and impressions in our Discord!

Hello everyone!

Today is a great time for those who’ve been waiting for a discount!

The game is currently 50% off a perfect moment to grab it!

The Easter Event is still running until the end of the month, so you still have time to take part!

Also, a quick update on future plans: I’ve started porting the game to the new engine version Unreal Engine 5.4. It looks absolutely amazing! There are a few issues that have popped up, but I hope they won’t be too difficult to fix.

In the near future, I’m planning to create a separate branch for testing the game on the new engine. It should become much more stable and beautiful.

More news is coming soon! For the latest updates, join our Discord server that’s where all the freshest information appears first.

Thank you for being with us!

Hello everyone!

New game Kingdom Craft announced. Kingdom Craft is a survival game set in a world of floating islands with unique gravity. Craft items by combining different materials, explore, build, and progress to reach the ancient portal and return home. Rise of gun - As I said earlier, it will most likely be in the summer. In this update, I definitely want to add new workers and many other changes. Most likely, the DLC that I talked about earlier will not happen, since my plans were slightly disrupted, but closer to summer it will be more clear. Add games to your wishlist. Playtests and demos are coming soon. Also, join our Discord channel for all the latest news on all our games. I'd love to see you there.

Hello everyone.

A 45% discount on the game is now in effect. For those who were considering whether to buy it, now's a great opportunity. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

I'm waiting for you in our Discord channel for all the latest news on the game and more. Enjoy the game.

Hello everyone

Here’s a quick update on Rise of Gun.

Cloud saving has been added to the game. Now you can save your progress and continue playing on different devices. Many of you have been asking for this feature for a long time, and I’ve finally managed to set it up properly.

Is the developer still alive?

Yes, everything is fine. Due to the war, there are frequent power outages, so I’m only able to work about 3–4 hours a day. Progress is slower than I’d like, but I’m here, so don’t worry.

Why are there no updates for so long?

I’m currently developing two other games as well. As soon as there’s any news, I’ll let you know on Discord. Because of this, updates for Rise of Gun are slightly delayed.

What’s next?

The next update is planned for late summer or autumn.

What will be in the update?

The final list of changes is not confirmed yet, but I’m planning to add a weapon crafter and a workshop assistant. The assistant will help manage the shop, carry ammo to the shooting range, refill water, and craft weapons.

When will DLC be released?

If everything goes according to plan, the first DLC will be included in the next update.

Thank you to everyone who continues to play and support the game. I truly appreciate it. Don’t forget to subscribe to our Discord channel, where I post the latest news.

Enjoy the game.
