2021 is ending, and we have to say that we've come a long way this year. Rustler launched in Early Access in February and premiered in full version at the end of August. During this time, we've managed to fix numerous bugs reported via the in-game bug reporter. Thank you for using our tool! It helped us with finding the cause of reported problems much faster. We've also prepared special events (Halloween and Christmas) and delivered two DLCs.

Because you like Rustler and share our love for this project. Because you believed in it! Because your support helped us fix many different problems that have appeared since the game's launch in Early Access. Because you are the best rustlers around!
Thank you for being with us and supporting the game through all this time!

Somewhere in our heads, there is this thought about continuing our journey with Rustler. Should we do it? What would it be about? What world setting should we choose? There are so many questions! So we've decided to ask you about your expectations.

Help us get some insight into players' preferences by completing this super short survey!



Oh! And know that those who provide us with the most valuable feedback will win a free Steam key to one of our selected games! You will find all the details in the last question of the survey.

Doesn't it seem like a perfect Christmas gift? Especially that there's a Santa event going on! You can deliver gifts to the nicer fellas... or attack the bad ones who dare to impersonate Santa! With snowballs, of course!

Treat yourself with two great DLCs! Hire mercenaries, bring chaos to the medieval folks with a Flamethrower, ride a Chariot and help Vinci with his inventions!

Here's a quick changelog:

• Taunting is in da house! If you have a sword and a shield, you can taunt and provoke your enemies by hitting your own shield with your sword. [Tip: When Guy uses a sword with a shield, press RMB + Tab to taunt during the fight.]
  
• Tank's image will change according to how damaged it is.
  
• You can see the damage done to the tank more clearly now thanks to the smoke and splinters coming from it after each hit. You can also hear a "boom" when it breaks down.

And here are some minor bugfixes:
[expand type=details]

• You can't push the priest into the church anymore in the A-men side quest.
  
• Mercenaries shouldn't disappear from the map anymore.
  
• Fixed a bug when the player is given a screen where it is monotone and a tutorial prompt is shown, if the player returns back to the main menu and selects a new game, the game will play very slowly.

Merry Chri-... Well, it's not THAT time of the year yet. However, we have a special Christmas event for you!



Please, welcome our Santa Guy, who is here to give gifts to those who've been nice! His mighty red-nosed reindeers (who: 1 -> are not named Rudolph, because, come on, Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer is one and only, 2 -> are not reindeers, but horses, because the real Santa didn't want to borrow Guy his ones) are awaiting your orders!
If you've been naughty (be naughty and save Guy the trip), take a look at the snow around you and prepare for a snowball fight!

Christmas Event starts on December 1 and lasts until the end of the month! You have plenty of time to give it a try!



Take a look around and find a Santa cart (the one with gifts on it!). It should be waiting for you in one of the carts' parking lots. Just hop right in and bring happiness and joy - or mayhem and despair, it's up to you - to the world

And now: look in the Rustler's game window and sing with us: Baby, it's Guy outside!

Oh, and we have some new fixes for you!
[expand type=details]

• You can now run your enemies - or any NPCs - over with a tank!
  
• Tank leaves a bit more dust behind.
  
• Now you can find a horse at Vinci's location to spare you some time :)
  
• The Flamethrower shouldn't keep firing during cutscenes.
  
• When buying a new weapon, you will now see information in the right top corner of the screen about what will be replaced with it.
  
• While riding a horse together with a hired bard, you will now be able to shoot him and fire him this way.
  
• We've also looked into any crash logs you've provided us with and fixed them.

Rustlers
we've prepared a little something for you to celebrate Halloween! I know, I know, Guy doesn't need much more to scare people. Still, we've decided to up his game a little with a new time-limited mini-game. It will start around 6 PM CET on October 29 and last until November 12.



Every killed NPC will drop a candy. Be careful though, as each collected candy has a different effect! Get ready for a little trick or threat game! Oh, and don't forget to collect your prize! It will await you somewhere near Guy's house.

You will also be able to gain an extra achievement "Double, double toil and trouble" (even though Guy probably doesn't know Shakespeare's writings or Harry Potter) for successful participation in the Halloween event!

We hope you didn't miss the latest DLC: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1628870/Rustler__Murder_Madness/

We have fixed some minor bugs and improved the game's efficiency. F.ex., the bow will now take less time to load and while buying a bow, you will get a set of arrows with it.

Boo to you from our crew,
Team Rustler

The wait is over, and the Murder Madness DLC is out now on Steam!
