Note from Rockbite Games
While our new game versions are ready to handle version differences due to updates, we still have some very old game versions (lower than 0.19) that will crash if connected to a new server. We did everything we could to support this for the last 20 days, but it’s now time to update.

Updating to latest client will also ensure that your game will nicely handle all future updates.

We’ve been working on this for 2 years (or more… I …

In light of the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and after careful consultation we decided to ask our employees to work remotely. Out of an abundance of caution, the health and safety of Rockbite Games employees and families is a primary concern for us. We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide additional information as necessary. This will cause some delays in our production pipeline, and even though Sandship is nearly ready for release, these last steps will now take a little bit longer. Our thoughts are with those around the world who have been affected by this outbreak. …
