Hi everyone,

You may have noticed a small update going through earlier today. The current version of Vigilantes should be considered a release candidate, meaning it may or may not be the release version, depending on whether an issue of sufficient severity to merit a rebuild is found in the next few days.

While Vigilantes won't change substantially before release, if you want to ensure you are playing the release version, or benefit from the release discount, which will be available from 04 October, my recommendation would be to hold off until then.

This update is, by design, small, conservative, and important. Most significantly, it adds the voiced endings to the game. Which of the two endings you get depends on Sam's reputation when you defeat the third and final gang boss. They represent two very different outcomes for Sam and Reiker City (and perhaps beyond), and we hope you enjoy them!

There have also been a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements, which are outlined below. The trailer has been updated over the last week, and in case you haven't seen the updated version, it's linked below!

As always, your comments and questions are most welcome.

Thanks for reading,
