West Hunt 1.0 March 23rd

Howdy folks! We have a big announcement to make that will have you shaking in your boots: West Hunt is coming to 1.0 March 23rd!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The wait of the West is over, and how many fun expansions have we had in our little neck of the woods! From our handy dandy map highlighting outlaw missions to help out our dear Sheriffs, to brand new towns like Mexico City, we have grown so much over the last few months.

Outlaws have more abilities than ever with their distraction, taunt, and running abilities; giving our Sheriffs a run for their money. It gets even crazier when they Shapeshift or Teleport like something from out of this world.

All the different faces we see in town even bring a smile to our faces. With those monstrous appearances to our tried and true OG townsfolk, this town has something for everyone. Even our furry friends get a new look if the right person applies themself! But no matter your appearance one thing remains the same, you can’t escape the best Sharpshooters in the West!

And where would we be without our reliable Sheriffs and Outlaws keeping this rowdy bunch of citizens safe? We couldn’t be more grateful for this incredible community we have found ourselves in. From Discord to our Town itself you have made this game something memorable to be a part of, and we want to give shiny golden stars to every single one of you.

[h2]Keep a lookout for more exciting news next week when we officially go 1.0![/h2]

As always stay safe out there, and Happy Hunting!

Update V0.995

Hello everyone,

In this update, we made many small fixes and collision improvements.
But most importantly we improved the "Teleporter" outlaw experience.

As many players had difficulty teleporting or canceling the teleportation.
Now,everything should be good :D




And stay tuned for a huge announcement soon ːsteamhappyː+


+Quality of life update:

Side missions outline is not visible behind obstacles anymore (reducing the number of unnecessary highlighted objects on the field of view )

Update V0.99: Treasure Hunt!

In a place beyond the reach of light,
A secret tunnel hides from sight.
But to enter, you must first behold,
The key that's cast in shining gold.

This key, a treasure to behold,
Can open gates to the untold world.
But to obtain it, you must be bold,
And pay a price that's worth gold.

Many have sought it, but few have found,
The key that lies beneath the ground.
But if you have the means to pay,
The key may be yours, on this very day.

So gather your riches, and seek the way,
To the forge where the key may lay.
For with it, you'll unlock a world unknown,
And find treasures that have never been shown.

Good Luck.

Update V0.98

Hi,

We have noticed that some "pro-Sheriff" players are dominating games vs new outlaw players.

So we made a few changes to the outlaw and NPCs so they can better blend and avoid being discovered so fast by pro players.

The update includes:
  • Major outlaw character controller changes.
  • Major NPCs navigation and movement changes.


+bug fixes.

Stay tuned, more fun coming to West Hunt soon :D
