First, let's address the elephant in the room. Yes, news about RUTHLESS:1 were basically non-existant in the last year. But fear not, it is still in active development, things were just slower than expected. What happened? Lots of experimenting with new technologies led to some time consuming tasks and since RUTHLESS:1 is still a one-man-project, this had a much bigger impact than I imagined but the results were worth it. Also, I noticed a lot of stuff that felt just not polished enough. A non-trivial amount of code was rewritten completely and lots of previously undetected bugs were fixed. What are the consequences? While this was never officially announced, RUTHLESS:1 was planned to enter Early Access in June 2024. I want to offer a great experience with the game, so that target has become unattainable. I'm really sorry, and I want to apologize to anyone, who is waiting for a new version. But you're probably waiting for that announcement. Here it comes: RUTHLESS:1 will enter Early Access in Q4 2024 and it will start at the small price of 5 (may differ in regions with other currencies). Also, from now on, important milestones during development will be shared here, so stay tuned. Greeting from Berlin, Alex
