Ranger Quest is live!
Ranger Quest 1.0.0 launched on Google Play on 25 May 2024, with a balance patch planned for 7 June.

Ranger Quest launched. The first version, on Google Play only, for the moment.
The original post opened with a gif of someone falling down a water slide, which was the mood: the game was out, and the polish was not finished. That gif lived on Giphy, so it is not embedded here.
It took nine months of design, development, animation, score, and interface work. Version 1.0.0 was the start, and it was a milestone I am proud of.
Download it on Google Play: Ranger Quest.
What was next
A patch was planned for 7 June 2024 to nerf the Hobgoblin Warchief a little, raise the experience you earn, and add a game-speed control that players had been asking for.
Bigger systems were meant to tie the rest together. Once the game was public, feedback was the point.
The roadmap, in no particular order, for the months after launch:
- Talent system
- Active abilities
- 3 new bosses for the Goblin Glades
- Cloud saves
- Achievements
- Leaderboards
- Quests
- More worlds
- iOS
iOS?
iOS was still underway. I paused it to put more into the content, and planned to ship a more polished build there later.
The public page is Ranger Quest. The press kit has the fact sheet. Privacy notes are on the Ranger Quest privacy page.

State of development

Patch notes · 10 June 2024
v1.0.2
Ranger Quest 1.0.2 added a 1x, 1.5x and 2x timescale, and raised experience from high-tier enemies so ads were less of a path through the game.
