Hi, everybody! We’ve got some news to share. But first, thanks for waiting for this update—this one includes a lot of requested fixes and we really feel the gameplay has been improved by this overhaul of bugs. A special thanks to our game testers for their contributions!

This is very likely the final update to our Acts 1-3 of The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout. As you may know, we’re thrilled to be releasing The Scout Anthology in the coming months, and in lieu of this updated edition, these separate acts of The Scout will be retiring from Steam.

We’re so grateful to everyone who purchased these individual acts; and as part of that thank you, our programmers, artists, and testers worked on getting this massive final batch of bug fixes out to you. We appreciate you, and we hope we’ll see you again for The Scout Anthology this holiday season!
