    Glad to see that it's still in development, even if there's a few bumps in the road to getting it finished. This was one game I was definitely looking forward to

    Oh and glad you're doing okay too of course :)

    Forum on the official website seems to be down and there are hints here and there on Twitter but no vids or hard facts like how much progress has been made or a release date :(

    Just came across this forum....wow, I completely forgot about this game! I remember I used to be SO pumped for it!! I had so much love for Plunderland that I could barely wait for the release of Prevail.

    I guess at some point I lost hope and gave up believing that it would ever come out, because I completely forgot about it until I saw this forum =P

    When was the last official update from the devs???

    I remember hearing that they are putting this project on hold until they make enough funds to continue development. Apparently, Plunderland didn't really make the amount of money they hoped for and obviously it doesn't look Icebreakers made too much considering that they haven't mentioned the continuing development of this game. I'll safely says this game is on hiatus until more funding is available.

    Ok some good news guys (finally)

    I've recently started development on Prevail again after so many problems came our way. This is now just a one man team but don't worry I've found a way to finish the game with a bit of a change to it.

    I've been working on this for the last few weeks and have developed randomly generated galaxies. So the game now will have a lot of play time and I don't need anyone to make the content it can generate itself.

    If you find a cool galaxy your can share it's id with a friend and they can play through the exact same place.

    Also given the dynamic ai there are tons of funny and unexpected events that happen.

    I hope you like the vision I have for the game will be about exploring and having fun with the game mechanics.

    Sorry about the wait! Look forward to seeing what you all think.

    Just spent half an hour playing and having fun with it and I've known this game for years, seems like a good sign.
