Service with a Shotgun News

[p]5000 wishlists[/p][p]This is… a lot.

I was halfway through writing a post about 4000 wishlists and then I blinked. I honestly didn’t think we’d get here this quickly, but here we are.

So, in true awards-speech fashion, I’d like to thank:[/p]

• [p]Everyone who wishlisted (you made the number go up, and that helps more than you think)[/p]
• [p]Everyone who played the demo and gave feedback (you saved me from at least 14 bad ideas… maybe 15)[/p]
• [p]Content creators (seeing streams and videos of this game is still completely surreal)[/p]
• [p]And finally, myself, because there’s only one dev here and it's important for my self esteem.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Here's a shoutout to some of my favourite videos about SWAS. Thanks for making this way bigger than I thought it could be. You’re the best. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]Could I have another wishlist, good sir?[/h3][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p]ok listen.[/p][p]could you guys maybe chill?? [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]the trailer for SWAS just hit 52,000+ views on IGN channel and i’m over here like 😳👉👈 that is an unholy number of eyeballs.[/p][p]
like. i never thought this type of thing would happen. it’s kinda scary tbh. but i really want this game to be the best it can be for all you people, so yes, i am currently in full panic-mode-developer-grindset, trying to deliver something worthy
[/p][p]and YES, i’ve been reading the comments. some of you are hilarious. some of you are concerning. all of you are right about the “where shotgun???” thing. i hear you. shotgun justice will be served.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]in the meantime, here's some things you can do instead of watching the trailer:[/p]

• [p]send it to your 3 closest friends[/p]
• [p]send it to your 3 worst enemies[/p]
• [p]leave a youtube comment that makes me question reality[/p]
• [p]comment 'nice shotgun, bro', so I know if you actually want the shotgun in the game[/p]
• [p]show it to your grandpa and tell him it’s “the new Top Gun”[/p][p][/p]

[p]ok thanks bye.[/p][p]– nolyn

[p]Nolyn here![/p][p]Back atcha with some more pixel art updates. Let's chat Rus.


The Original Art [/p][h3] [/h3][p] Rus was obviously themed after JSchlatt. Now, full honesty? We probably can’t just throw that on the Steam page without… legal eyebrows raised. That’s mostly just his looks though. The real magic? Accidentally happened while I was hanging out with a friend. Her personality just kind of… bleded into Rus. Completely unplanned. Totally an accident. But somehow it fits him perfectly.

[/p][h3] Final Design [/h3][p]he's very quiet (which is why his text is lowercase). to himself but really cool guy and a lot of fun to be around once you get to know them. it’s subtle, but it’s him. the kind of guy you wouldn’t notice at first, but then he’s stuck in your head.

I’m still blown away at how much life Sorahn (shoutout again!) managed to give the character visually. He nailed the vibe from the start, and now Rus really feels like someone you could meet in the world we’re building. he's just a chill guy.

[h3]🚨 Y’ALL. We just hit 3000 Wishlists!! 🚨
[/h3][p]I honestly don’t even know what to say. When I started this journey, I was like 'okay so a 1000 would be nice', and now here we are… smashing milestones left and right.
[/p][p]I’ve got some really fun stuff cooking. As you know, we've recentle released a new, extended demo, which means you can now play CHAPTER TWO!!!

Please, let me know your thoughts, I'm keeping an eye on every feedback! [/p][p]You’re all making this adventure way more exciting than I ever imagined, thank you a thousand times over (well… I guess three thousand now 🤯).

Here's another sneak peak for ya. Can you get right what character this is (was) in early version of the game? : D

[/h3][p]
Seeing our little zombie-filled retail nightmare alongside so many amazing games was a real “pinch me” moment.[/p][p][/p][h3]And to celebrate… we’ve dropped a brand new Extended Demo![/h3][p][/p][p]
For new players, you can now play through two full chapters: meet new characters, make some questionable choices, and see just how wild things can get when you live through THE apocalypse.

For pre-existing players, your save data will be saved and you can continue from where you left off on chapter 1, or choose to replay chapter 1 for a refresher!

[/p][p]In the extended demo you’ll:[/p]

• [p]Explore a NEW AREA[/p]
• [p]KILL MUTATED BUGS[/p]
• [p]Shoot EVEN MORE zombies!
  [/p]

[p]If you played the earlier demo, thank you so much! Hope you'll enjoy this one! (And maybe it will make you hungry for brains more!)
[/p][p]Grab the new demo, blast through both chapters, and let us know what you think. [/p]

For existing players you will be able to pick up from where you left off on the final day of the first

[p]Thanks for sticking around, we’re having a blast making this game, and your support means everything.
[/p][p]Stay safe out there,

Nolyn & Silver Lining Interactive[/p]
