Howdy fellow gunslingers!
Last major update (1.2) did not go over quite as smoothly as planned. A bunch of bugs sneaked through and while the PC version got a hotfix shortly after (with some issues still remaining to this day) all console players were out of luck and stuck with 1.1 or a somewhat broken 1.2. I am very sorry for that inconvenience and that we didn't catch these issues earlier. But today this will hopefully be forgotten. I spent a lot of time reworking remaining issues and finding new approaches to allow all features to work cross-platform and hopefully without any issues, and additionally managed to add an interesting new feature.
Obviously, while console players will be mostly interested in finally getting the save and continue functionality, PC players will mostly be interested in the spicy new feature, which I think will change how players play Colt Canyon:
[h2]OPTIONAL PERMADEATH![/h2]
When setting up a new run you will now find a new option tucked away in your run settings menu! Turn off permadeath and enjoy the comfort of not losing all your progress when dying. Instead you will get the option to retry from the last checkpoint, which usually is the moment you entered the current level.
The best thing for all casual achievement hunters: Disabling permadeath will not disable achievements!
Obviously it will not have as much prestige this way, but at least you will be able to complete your collection. Steam Leaderboards are exclusive to permadeath players though. Oh, and permadeath will also not be optional once you've completed the second loop. So don't expect to keep playing the same save forever and ever.
And to all you permadeath fanatics: Let people enjoy things! It's been more than two years now, it's time for Colt Canyon to also allow more casual fun.
[h2]Have fun![/h2]
Update 1.2.1 is now available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox right now! Switch is in review and will follow as soon as possible.
