Hello again players! There have been some mysterious sightings near Draynor Manor recently. We had many reports of Dev Sean constantly disappearing into the haunted mansion, followed by Ryan and Onur. Something is definitely going on in there, and we need players to investigate what exactly they are up to!

RuneRebels 2.5 Andromeda

---

Hello everyone! We are very excited to finally release this massive update to RuneRebels. Andromeda is packed full of tons of bug fixes and new features for everyone to enjoy, and is probably our largest update this year. We hope you enjoy it, and we have additional content already in the pipeline!

---

I do want to apologize about the delay with this update, I was traveling across the country this week and had to handle a lot of unexpected things that came up which caused this to get delayed a bit more than usual. In the future I'll try to post on the forums in advance when a delay is expected. I hope you enjoy the update!

We hope that you have been enjoying the last update! We haven't been standing still and have spent the last month tweaking and fixing many of the bugs that you guys found with the last update, and many long standing bugs that players have been encountering. We've also continued to polish the tools and processes that we use to development the game, which will enable us to bring you higher quality content at a faster pace.

---

As promised, this is our second update for 2018 following the monthly release schedule. I hope that this shows that the team and I are dedicated to keeping this release cycle going, and we are happily looking forward to the rest of the year!

Welcome to RuneRebels 2018!
We are excited to release this to you guys, as it will be one of many.
We will be doing monthly updates, focusing on consistency, and quality over quantity.
With this update we wanted to focus on something easier to work on, rather than tackling a beast that may put too much of a weight on our backs.

---

More personally, for me it has been very tough recently to balance working on the game with everything going on in my real life. It is much harder to find time to work on things that you enjoy when doing schoolwork, paying bills, and other aspects of life. However, I would like to reaffirm that this project still holds a special place in my heart and will continue to be supported and updated.

I am extremely excited and happy to announce with the team that as stated above, we will be releasing at least one update per month with no exceptions for the foreseeable future. The amount of content in these updates may not always be equal, some may focus more on specific areas where some may focus more on the tools that the developers use to do work independent of me. Regardless, we plan on keeping the momentum and communication going to keep the server and community alive and kicking. I am a huge fan of the Dolphin Emulator blog, and we are looking to model our communication style after theirs.

Lastly, as we work on more tools and automation to aid with the development of the server, we will be looking out for more developers, bug reporters, and testers. You may also notice that some of our staff appear as online in game on the "Telegram" world, which actually redirects private messages to their mobile phone. We hope to roll this feature out to players soon as well, but having constant access to staff for any questions you may have will hopefully help reaffirm that we are there for you guys.

Enjoy the update, and we look forward to next month's release.
