I'm happy to go into any questions you might have, and take your suggestions and feedback. The Demo will be ready for you to play in June, and also be part of the Steam Next Fest.

Anachronia gets a skilling update this week, and Vic the Trader is back in Burthorpe! Plus, we’ve got Kickstarter dates for the RuneScape boardgame – and that all-important box art reveal...
This update brings new training methods for a couple of under-served skills. Firemaking and Fletching, it’s your time to shine!
The action takes place down on Anachronia Farm, where Prehistoric Potterington is embarking on a new project to rustle up high-yield fertiliser. She’s making use of the area’s stinkiest (and most distressingly abundant) resource: huge dollops of fragrant dinosaur doo-doo!
Hold your nose to hit the new training stations and you could score some fantastic fletching components and lots of lovely XP. Plus, you’ll have the chance to create best-in-slot T95 arrows and imbue them in one of four ways, making awesome Elder God Arrows with specific combat effects. It’s the perfect preparation for the upcoming T95 Bow, arriving with the fifth Elder God boss this summer!
To get started, visit Prehistoric Potterington and ask her about zygomites to begin this update's tutorial. You’ll need the following:
At least 82 Fletching or Firemaking (95 is required to engage with all of the content).
Completion of Elder God Wars: Extinction
Anachronia is a members-only area, so make sure your subscription is up to date! For all the poo-ey details, check the blog: https://rs.game/mayskilling
Vic The Trader is back in Burthorpe for two weeks from May 3rd! Trade your Bonus XP for XP lamps, skilling outfits and other goodies.
It's an easy way to stock up on essentials, so be sure to visit Vic before he leaves Burthorpe on May 16th!

You are no longer able to craft more Vulnerability Bombs after dropping any of the required items during crafting process.
Runes are deducted correctly when the Rune Pouch is in the quiver slot.
Runes are deducted correctly when using the Wicked Pouch.

Join Art Lead Damien, Associate Producer/Game Designer Tom, A.K.A. "Borzorkor" and Lead Jeremiah, A.K.A. "Jezza" as they fumble their way through the janky build, but have a blast all the same.
Quite often when developing, the theoretical design may seem legit, but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, it could be that said features need to be tweaked or simply cut. At the end of the day, it's an iterative and most importantly, a collaborative process. That's why we've started doing these devs play sessions!
That wasn't always the case with our team, however. Initially, we had a very structured hierarchy which we strictly adhered to. There's something to be said about hunkering down and just "gettin' it done", but this removes ownership of features and is not the ideal method of collaborating. We have so many brilliant and talented people on the team, and it was a major mishap that we didn't take all of their ideas into consideration initially.
Our biggest fear with the thought of having a flat hierarchy was that there'd be simply too many cooks in the kitchen, and the thought of being slogged down by lack of decision, or coming up with a "meh" solution that no one is happy with could be the death blow to a project.
Moving forward we are a lot less structured when it comes down to input. If one of us can't reasonably convince the rest of the team to add a feature or remove it, then hey, it is what it is. We are all trying our best to make something unique and fun for players. Are we there yet? Heck no! BUT, we are most assuredly on the right path. :)
WRAP UP
It goes without saying that Rough Justice: '84 is currently in development and the info as well as the above-showcased videos, images, and GIFs are representations of the current state and are subject to change.
Our discord server is alive! You can join the conversation and hang out with other fans on the discord server and talk directly to us regarding your thoughts and ideas about Rough Justice.
Had a little extra time so I decided to tackle some larger features and release a second update this week. My two favourite things about this update are the rumble support for gamepads! Finally, woo! And a much-needed rework to the inventory selection system. Enjoy!
Features - Zombies bleed with unique zombie blood. Ew. - Added rumble support for gamepads. - Redesigned and improved inventory selection and management.
I reworked the .fbx 3d model import and tested it with models from Daz, iClone, MakeHuman, and Mixamo- other humanoid models should work when you use our RigDefiner script for Unity here
Please let me know of any new bugs you find here on Steam or on our discord
