As the Sheriff, the journey on the trail will effect you just as much as your cowpokes. You'll face a few events near the start of your journey that will stick with you and provide different buffs for the rest of the campaign #gamedev #indiedev
In addition to battling bandits, wildlife, and overcoming the trials of nature itself, your party will also encounter a myriad of other travelers on the trail when going between towns. Should you choose to help, harm, humor or hinder them is all up to you #gamedev #indiedev
Man and beast may be one of the many problems your party will face out west, but the environment itself is no joy either. Harsh dust storms, oppressive sun, and bone-chilling nights are just a few of the obstacles your cowpokes will need to overcome or succumb to the elements #gamedev #indiedev
In our next big leg of development, your cowpokes will be facing their toughest obstacle yet. The Blademaster, a samurai and lone survivor of a shipwreck harboring the Japanese ambassador, ravages the wild west with a massive language barrier and a rage driving him to madness #indiedev #gamedev
Roving bandits thirsty for blood and cash won't be your party's only problem on the trail. The wildlife itself will also pose a challenge on your wagon. Take down these varmints to receive meat, pelts, and a moment of respite from the stressors of the trail
#gamedev #indiedev
The Badlands, the essential backdrop of any classic western, is where your town is located and your journey begins! A biome without too many bells and whistles, but still rather deadly with a variety of terrain and bandits on the prowl, eager to rob any passing wagon
#gamedev #indiedev
A war-hardened, frontline lieutenant, now in the throes of the ongoing Civil War. The Buffalo Soldier is a tanky frontliner capable of taking hit after hit, along with whipping his fellow party members into shape under the banner of his grand old flag
#gamedev #indiedev
The Inventor is a young wunderkind from the steam-powered town of Neo Babylon. With a myriad of volatile chemicals and inventions, she's a master at disrupting and overwhelming foes

Have another sneak peek at some of the consumables and held items your cowpokes will be able to equip
#gamedev #indiedev
🎶Love in a bottle, love in a bottle
Don't need love when it comes in a bottle🎶
Our next leg will feature consumable items in the form of various tonics, tinctures, and other items your party will be able to use during combat when in a pinch.
#gamedev #indiedev
The Skeleton Soldier is a horde enemy your cowpokes will need to fight in large numbers. They go down fairly easily, but it's also quite easy to be quickly overwhelmed with Terror and rusty bayonets to the chest
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
A new ne'er-do-well your party will face is the infamous Bandit Mariachi. Whether he's playing a fun tune to buff his allies, a gloomy dirge to lower your party's morale, or simply giving a swift KABONG with his guitar, this slippery showman is a nasty force of support #indiedev #gamedev #cowboy
Home is where your horse is! As sheriff, you're now in charge of the small podunk town of Mud Gulch, located smack dab on Four Corners. It's up to you to make this thrown together little settlement thrive #indiedev #gamedev #cowboy
Happy Halloween, y'all! Our progress continues with a new spooky enemy for you and your cowpokes to encounter! The Skeleton Soldier is a hoard based, undead enemy capable of striking Terror into the hearts of travelers and attacking with vile, occult abilities

#indiedev #gamedev #cowboy #indierpg #wildwest
