Some of the highlights of this patch are the new upgradable doggo houses, further enhancements to the new faith system, tons and tons of new animations, the resource rate calculator, additional resource bar configurations, a new spell/disaster (a comet!), really high quality new font rendering, and a ton of bug fixes and other QoL changes.

Click here for help on accessing the Unstable branch! A long time coming, I am happy to introduce that Update 2 Unstable 1 has arrived! This patch adds a ton bug fixes and improvements, but most importantly, new content! The biggest additions are the new essence generation and faith mechanics. Now, you no longer fuel your Essence Collectors with crylithium. Rather, you now build a new building called an Essence Altar and assign new workers called Occultists to them. These new Occultists will go to the altar and pray, upon completing a pray action, they will boost faith in the area and generate

Greetings everyone, It's time to get back on the bandwagon, and explain my current plans. Although they are always subject to change, I wanted to give everyone an update on what's been going on and where I'd like to see my company, Rise to Ruins and my future projects to go in the future. As you all know, I've taken an extended break from game development as I focused on myself and my own health, my life, and the people around me. Most of you guys who follow me on Discord or Twitter have seen several of the things I've posted or said over the past year or so. A mistake I made on my previous an

Sometimes you read a story that's really hard to believe it's true but probably is. In this case it's Raymond Doerr of SixtyGig Games doing something absolutely nuts to secure funding for their games.

Greetings fellow gamers! Many of you have probably noted an obvious slowdown in development since Update 1c was released last year. First and foremost, I would like to absolutely reassure you that development is, in fact, continuing and Update 2 is currently in work, with Update 3 and 4 already planned out. But why did this happen? Well, that's a story I thought I would never find myself in a position to tell, but here we are. So strap in! There's a lot of back context needed. In 2013 I decided to learn to program as it was the only remaining skill left I did not have to make a video game. I h

‘Building’ is a pretty broad theme. There are a lot of games where you build things, after all, and they can be very different. Helpfully, then, I’ve split this list of the 20 best building games on PC into four sections, each covering a sub-category of this big, messy genre. (more…)

This is a smaller patch full of a ton of small quality of life improvements, bug fixes and balance changes. This patch was originally going into Update 2, but I decided to break out some of the Update 2 content and move it to a smaller patch, so you can get some of the new improvements and changes early, without having to wait for Update 2 later.

The Rise to Ruins soundtrack is now uploaded all over the internet, including Spotify, Amazon Music, Youtube, Google Play and more! All revenue (Less various store fees) from purchasing or listening to the soundtrack does not go to me, rather it goes to Rise to Ruins' composer, José Ramón "Bibiki" García. So if you want to support him directly by throwing a few bucks his way, be sure to buy the soundtrack! :) If you're interested in listening or purchasing the soundtrack on various platforms, you can click here to get started!
