"Runt plans to release many demos before the final release of Rapscallion. It’s an excellent way to get feedback from our fans as we progress in the production of our game," said Tobias Batton, CEO of Runt. "We are excited about the opportunity to work with Fileplanet and IGN for our first release, and extremely excited to gain valuable feedback from our fans on the direction of our game."

Runt began working on Rapscallion late 2010. They anticipate a multi-platform release for PC, MAC, and potentially consoles during Q1 2012.
