Evaluation
Guild Quest entered Steam Early Access on January 26, 2017, and remains in that state as of June 2026. The developer, a small three-person team at Hyper Hippo Games, was very active in the first half of 2017, shipping updates on a near-weekly basis. These included new islands (Icevale in March, Challenge Island in May), major system overhauls (a new prestige system in March, Final Ascension levels in April, a complete card upgrade system in July), and a sweeping world map and balance rework in August 2017.
The last recorded developer communication was on August 30, 2017 — a major feature patch delivering the new world map. After that date, there are no further posts, patches, or announcements in the available record. The game has remained on Steam in Early Access for approximately 9 years since that last update, with no 1.0 launch, no developer statement about the game's future, and no indication of whether development is ongoing or has been quietly abandoned. This prolonged silence following an otherwise very active update cadence strongly suggests development has stalled or ceased, though no official statement to that effect has been made.
Evidence
Major update shipping a completely new world map, full game rebalance, and prestige overhaul. This is the last recorded developer communication.
Challenge Island launched as a limited-time event island, with developer asking for community feedback on this new gameplay direction.

About this game
You’ve just bought yourself a new island with a derelict Guildhall and it’s time to fill it up with QUESTS!
In fact, it turns out that first island is just the start of many, and soon your quest empire will grow. Fill each island along the way, and unleash your guildians onto your own custom quest lines. You pick the types of quests you want and then reap the rewards.
Want to take it slow and safe? Create a bunch of adventure quests. Want to indulge in the thrill of battle for higher danger but higher rewards? Build battle quests and reap in the XP to level up your guildians. Collect cards and equip them to gain permanent boosts, earn star points and invest them to even change the look of your guildians!
Collect different guildian classes and equip them to whatever islands you have. Swap them out and find the best combinations for the job. Having trouble with some nasty orcs? Make sure you have some Knights to help protect the others, or maybe a Cleric will do the job and keep everyone healed. It's up to you!
Once you conquer an island and move onto another one, you can either leave your guildians behind or bring them with you to tackle new challenges.
Luckily, your guildians are smart enough to do your job without question, even when you're not around! So come back later, collect your rewards, and expand further. Guild Quest has been designed to be much more of a Second Screen kind of game you can run on the side (even while playing other games).
The challenge curve is up to you. Build the world you want to see then sit back and watch your Guildians go!
