    Perma-death? Random level generation? Roguelike-like?! I'm buying this game so hard.

    I didn't buy Mage Gauntlet because it always seemed like they were testing the waters for something better, and here it is. I wouldn't necessarily call it a spin-off though, more of an evolution.

    Edit: Also, this might be slightly confusing for some people: http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Wayward

    I was wondering when this game is going to be released? The last known update was late March and it was suggested this would be out by the end of May? It is almost mid June and no word yet?

    I am not being critical, I am just hyped for the game and would like some info on an updated release date.

    From their Twitter, it sounds like the game's being finished and/or polished currently. And I think the name's been officially changed to Wayward Saga.

    Damn, really sucks to see the drop-off in anticipation for this game, my most eagerly anticipated iOS game ever. There was a 3-month gap between posts, and then another month-long-plus gap? I hope Rocketcat are still hard at development here, I hate to see the interest waning for this game the way it appears to be. :(

    I completely agree with you on the interest thing. Hopefully the game will be released in the next few weeks or so.

    Does anyone have any new information/updates on this title?

    On August 1st, I had messaged Rocketcat on Facebook, asking about Mage Gauntlet and some proposed content that had been mentioned in the forums here

    Their response:
    Nothing specific there, but the response suggests that they're still working it.

    Welp, another month, another 0 posts about this game. Whatever personal issues are bogging down the development and release of this game must be really bad, since they've been holding the release of the game up for the past 4 months. I hope everything is ok for the 3 guys at Rocketcat, but damn. This delay and loss (see: stop) of momentum for them could be very detrimental to their business. Fingers crossed for the best.

    They said a while ago that they're aiming for an October release. They also said most gameplay stuff has been added, and it's just down to the 'boring' stuff.

    Well, just downloaded mage gauntlet. I'm excited for the new game and will probably give it a shot if I enjoy MG. I can't believe that I missed MG for all this time. My favorite type of games are ARPG.

    How’d it go?

    I believe I heard Wayward Saga should be out in February. I’m not sure where, but I think they said they’d try for the beginning of December, and push out to February if they couldn’t make it. Anyone else hear anything about a release date? It needs to come out already so I can throw money at it.

    if i'm not mistaken the game was put on hold since the guy from rocketcat started working with another dev to make death road to canada and doesn't look like that one is out yet

    http://www.deathroadtocanada.com/

    but in their twitter account there is some info

    Aren’t there two different teams working on the games? So they could work on both games simultaneously without one slowing the other down—I remember him saying something like that.

    Check out their Facebook. He posts weekly updates there. WS was on hold at one point, but now they're back to working on it. Last I checked he mentioned he was working on polishing a build to show at PAX east. He's also working on polishing the hard mode or whatever for when you beat the game, so I'd say this is pretty far along.
