Progress Report June 2025

Dear players!
[h3]We’re thrilled to announce that Saloon Simulator will debut in Early Access on July 15, 2025! For the past few weeks, we’ve been focused almost exclusively on bug fixes and minor polish to ensure this is the most refined version of the game you’ve ever played. We’ve got tons of new content to show you, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback.[/h3][h3][/h3][p][/p][h2]New Furniture Sets & Customization Items[/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve added a wealth of new decoration options and patterns to let you personalize your saloon like never before. The design possibilities are bigger than ever, and we can’t wait to see the creative layouts you come up with![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Cutscenes[/h2][h2]
[/h2][p]While polishing the EA build, we were able to add fully animated cutscenes to several story beats. Our intro sequence, in particular, now beautifully explains how Cheyenne ended up in Blueberry.

[/p][h2]
New Quests[/h2][p][/p][p]Early Access extends the game’s storyline with additional quests, characters, and mechanics. Between managing your saloon, you can help Sam pan for gold, care for your mule, or lend a hand to the postmaster unloading the train.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2][/h2][p][/p][h2]Looking Ahead[/h2][p][/p][p]Although the game is already well-tested and polished, we’re committed to squashing bugs throughout the entire Early Access period. Soon we’ll publish a detailed roadmap so you can follow our progress month by month.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Thank you so much for your playtest![/h2][p][/p][p]We read every single one of the 1,400+ surveys you submitted after the playtest. Many of your suggestions are already in the game, and the rest will arrive soon. As promised, we’ll be drawing winners for free copies of the full game before launch. Thank you again for your incredible support![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Join Our Discord![/h3][p]We also invite you to join our Discord, where we answer all your questions. If you have anything you’d like to share with us, that’s the place to do it!

Stay tuned for more updates, and until next time!

Progress Report May 2025

Dear players,


We are very excited to tell you about the latest changes in Saloon Simulator! We are getting closer to releasing the Early Access so our main focus is polishing the game and making it more realistic with all the animation tweaks and other additions. We are also taking into consideration your feedback from the playtest survey so we can make the experience even more enjoyable for you! Thank you to all the players that took part in the playest and helped us make the game better.

[h2]1. New drink recipes[/h2]
We have new drinks available that you can serve to your customers, but even a cowboy can not only live on whiskey. Now you can make refreshing lemonade during the hottest days in the Old West!



[h2]2. Saloon renovation[/h2]
To brighten up the days that our guests spend lazily on eating, drinking and gambling away their savings during the game of Faro, we have upgraded the interior of the Saloon. You can now add a sofa and a half table to the main bar area. Some of the changes will only be available after the Early Access but you will be able to sneak a peak through the curtains.



[h2]3. New customers’ animations![/h2]
Adding new reactions to customers to make your experience even more diverse while you manage your Saloon. Now you can be sure of what they think of your service not only by listening to them but also through their body language.



[h2]4. Bugfixing[/h2]
During the polishing stage our programmers are dealing with bugs to make sure you won’t encounter them in the Early Access. Some of them are funnier than others, like Robert playing the air piano.

We Need to Postpone the Start of Playtests

I’m very sorry to announce that the playtests scheduled for today will not take place as planned. The game build we intended to share with you contains a serious glitch that, in some cases, could corrupt save files, resulting in the loss of game progress upon loading.

We’re actively working on a fix, and as soon as it’s resolved, you’ll receive an email invitation to test the updated version.

On behalf of the team, I sincerely apologize for not meeting the promised deadline.
