| The Final Update | 2024-09-12 | Dear Travelers, It’s been two years since Roadwarden’s release. I can’t believe that over this time my humble game passed 3000 reviews on Steam - I’m honored to know that my stories keep reaching new ears. For this anniversary I prepared a final bug-fixing patch. Nothing too large - most of the addressed issues were either typos or misplaced lines of text, like when the game used to display almost identical paragraphs in Creeks, or it put a “0” in the journal instead of a summary of one of the quests. The other fixes include, but are not excluded to: When discussing the job, Photios now mentions correctly that he wants you to approach him rig |

| Roadwarden Patch 1.1.31 | 2023-09-18 | Fellow travellers, some mean bugs were hiding in the recent Anniversary Update, but I managed to tackle them rather quickly. Therefore, sorry for any inconveniences caused by this - and thank you for sharing feedback, bug reports and love, of course. Here's a brief changelog for this rather small patch: There has been a major bug that blocked some of the players from selecting the main quest for their character. Specifically, it affected the playthroughs that selected a custom difficulty setting (one that's not among the prepared presets) and didn’t skip the prologue section. Because of this, those players are going to omit a large part of th |

I’ve been on a few adventures since Roadwarden’s release, but once the dust had settled, I realized there are still a few issues with the game I wanted to address.
