Great and terrible things can come in small packages 🩸
That’s why we’re excited to announce that Scathe will be taking part in Yogscast’s Tiny Teams 🔥
Tiny Teams is an event designed to spotlight indie games that have a solo or micro developer team and prove that size doesn’t matter when it comes to creating incredible games 🎮
Scathe will be featured as part of the action-packed livestream on the Yogscast Twitch channel, so tune in live and you’ll get the chance to see some exclusive gameplay 👀
So why does Scathe qualify for the event?
That’s because Scathe is being developed by a micro team of just 3 people!
Damage State is made up of programmer Chris, and artists Tim and Manuel. We all previously worked in the triple A industry and together we have over 40 years of combined experience in game development. What started out as a passion project between the three of us has now evolved into a glorious beast that we’ll be unleashing into the world on August 31st 2022 😈
“While the Syndicate and Steppenwolfs are fighting each other, we are trying to focus on what matters most — the survival of our species.” — Riley, the Dawn’s Children.
A new artwork — a melancholic picture at sunrise somewhere on the outskirts of the Peaceful atom. The inhabitants of the Valley flocked to new lands like bees to honey. Who knows what they will find in the cellars of these ruins?

The Wilderness enters a new era this week with a fresh look and a fiendish new PvM system. We've also put an exciting new quest in there – so you've got the perfect excuse to take a look around! Read on for all the details, plus new merch, community updates and more.
An iconic location gets a major revamp today – it’s time to return to the Wilderness!
The area has a new PvM focus, a ‘Threat’ system that adapts to your unique style, a high-risk-high-reward Slayer experience, and a new opt-in system for PvP!
And it’s not just gameplay that’s changing – we’ve brought the look and feel of the place up to date with improved graphics, as well as new hazards to keep you on your toes.
Yes, what was once a PvP warzone has now become a high-risk, high-reward PvM area. Our goal is for the Wilderness to be the best way to train Slayer, with the highest enemy density and rewards.
As you spend more time in the Wilderness completing activities or Slayer tasks, your Threat level will rise. As your Threat level rises, your risk of death increases - but you'll earn Slayer streak bonuses in the process. This will give you opportunities to snag Reaper Points and shiny new rewards!
Looking for a good place to start? Head to Mandrith, who is now located at the Pirate House, to begin your Slayer tasks. You’ll need Slayer 85+, Combat 120+.
Still, hankering for good ol’ PvP? Speak to Vala at the border of the Wilderness to opt-in and get that iconic Wilderness Skull. Any Skulled player can attack other players who have their Skull enabled.
Phew, big changes for the Wildy! Want to know more? Check out the newspost for all the granular details: Wilderness Reborn
An important message about the early hours of this update...
It’s pretty major work to take a significant area of the game and transform the way it looks and operates. An update like this will therefore bring with it some risks. We want to be ready – even over-prepared – for the unexpected.
When the update deploys, we will be taking our Worlds down for a few minutes to take a snapshot: a picture of your account, who owns what, etc.
If any major issues occur, we will then have this snapshot to roll back to if absolutely necessary.
For this reason, we recommend that up until 16:00 Game Time you do not take part in any activities where you might gain something valuable that would be painful to lose.
Again, we don't expect anything bad to happen, but it may be best to remain cautious!
As the new Wilderness is revealed, our Legacy of Zamorak storyline begins in earnest with a new quest – Daughter of Chaos.
If you’ve not been following the recent Zamorak craic, or aren’t quite ready to face the daunting Elder God season first, this is the perfect jumping-in point for the whole storyline!
This new quest will have you exploring the Wilderness to investigate rumours of a Zamorakian Civil War. Complete the job and you’ll be rewarded with Wilderness buffs including a 10% damage reduction and 5% damage increase against monsters.
Start the quest by speaking to Adrasteia in Falador Castle Throne Room. You'll need 40 Archaeology and 40 Divination to get started, with no other requirements. Easy!

In order to best maintain the services that power RuneScape, we're introducing a recurring maintenance window to health check all our systems and ensure everything is optimal.
This week's maintenance will take place at 10:30am Game Time on Wednesday, August 3rd. We expect the maintenance to last between 2-3 hours.
General
Fixed an issue where Super Mining Potions would be renamed Mining Potions after consuming a dose.
Viewing products in the Oddments Store will no longer cause crashes and log players out of the game.
Gathering from decaying guards outside of Croesus no longer cancels the action after successfully gathering an item.
Requirements Changes
In the coming months, RuneScape will no longer support Windows 32-bit builds or graphics cards that do not support OpenGL 3.0 or higher. This change allows us to focus our technical development and testing resources on more commonly-used platforms.
For more information, and to check if your system meets these requirements, head here.

Like Dreamer has been updated to Ver. 1.05. A bug has been identified that could impair the playability of the game and has been fixed.
Fixed a bug in which bombs immediately after being hit by a bullet would not trigger during Fever activation.
Replays prior to Ver. 1.04 that attempted to use a bomb immediately after being hit during Fever will no longer play correctly. We apologize for the inconvenience.
[ Postscript ] As the correction was not made correctly, the file was replaced with the correct one in a hurry. We apologize for any inconvenience.
