Bounty of One
Quick news on the beta and the Horde Survival Bundle
We have two news for you today!
Firstly, Following the poll we shared on Thursday, it seems that you tend to wish for the game to last around 24 minutes. We updated our beta, for you to try that out. You will have 3 acts of 8 min all ending in a boss battle (at the moment, you will fight Denzel a second time at the end but it will soon change). We're curious of your opinion regarding enemies balance and the overall feel with this duration. To switch over to the beta version, go on the Bounty of One page in your library and go the settings (the gear icon on the right) before launching the game and click on property. In properties, go to the beta tab and select the beta branch in the drop down menu. Exit the settings and you should have a small update, you're now playing the beta.
To go back to the main branch, take the same steps and select none in the dropdown menu.
⏳Secondly, the horde survivor bundle with Spellbook Demonslayer and Nomad Survival will come to an end on December the 14th, hurry up if you want to pick it up!⏳
It was an honor to cooperate with Xendra, the maker of Spellbook Demonslayer, and with The Fox Knocks, the maker of Nomad Survival. They are amazing and we are really happy we could use this opportunity to work with them on the collaborative bundle.
👉Horde Killer Bundle will end on December 14th. Hurry up!"

Patch 0.13 : An ingenious addition!
The new update is here!
Hello fellow outlaws,
Bumpty is back and you know what that means? A new update is here!
We know you're looking forward to the Undertaker and we're working hard on it (as you can see in the following gif) and can now say it'll be here shortly.
In order to include the Undertaker in the game, we will have to re-organize the waves and, therefore, the average duration of a run. At the moment, with 2 acts and without counting the boss fights, a run lasts 16 minutes, we were wondering how long you would like a run to last for. 18, 21 or 24 minutes? You can vote for your preference on the following link:

In the meantime, however, leaving you with nothing is out of the question. Give a warm welcome to our newest addition (- spoiler alert - click the black bars for more): R0B3RT!
When he was still human, Robert was the greatest genius the world ever knew. Above all, he wanted to improve and facilitate the lives of as many people as possible on a day-to-day basis, but in a world where the only available energy is that of steam, his endless ingenuity required a quantity of physical and financial resources far beyond his means. To carry out his research, he therefore had to appeal to generous donors, which is how he met the sinister Undertaker whose wealth (admittedly of dubious origin) was considerable.
Unfortunately, where Robert thought he could use his patron's resources as he saw fit, he quickly realized that such resources did not come for free. The majority of his time was therefore devoted to the creation of weapons and / or technologies allowing the Undertaker to always be one step ahead of its competitors.
Robert knew that he could never be able to concentrate on his great humanitarian project while he was under the yoke of this evil stockholder but he could not simply escape his grasp either. He secretly developed the R0B3RT project, a metal body unbothered by time and primary needs in which he could transfer his consciousness at the sole cost of losing his weak carnal envelope. On a world scale, an affordable price in his eyes. After months of work, the project was ready and before transferring his consciousness into this new body, Robert destroyed all his research and as many weapons as he could. Robert, now R0B3RT, pretended to be dead and escaped from the clutches of his "benefactor".
Now, R0B3RT is trying to complete the first step of his grand plan: to rid the valley of the menace that is the Undertaker.
In addition to this new character, you will find the rest of the set of objects that we shared with you on our discord (as a reminder, if you want to join it, here it is: https://discord.gg/Xtptj5UPWQ).
And that's it for today, see you in 2 weeks for the next update.
You can read the entire patch below.
Enjoy!

Patch 0.12 : Shake it up!
The new update is here!
Hello Fellow Outlaws,
Like every two weeks, here is the new update.
You'll be happy to know that the administrative setbacks we had been experiencing lately are, mostly, over (Yeah!). However, those who follow our updates closely will know that Bumpty, our one and only dev, is going away for 3 weeks, a holliday period that he truly deserves for his hardwork the past few months (hats down to you my good sir!). Unfortunately, this means that there will be a break regarding updates within that time.
But we we're not about to leave you without something to work with during that time. Indeed, we conducted a poll on our Discord server and 5 new incredible, 3 legendaries and 2 epics, items were chosen to shake things up during this down time.
You might also have noticed that we are part of a bundle with Spellbook Demonslayer and Nomad Survivor! If you'd like to purchase those games as well as ours, this is the right time!
In addition, we worked on balancing our favourite ex-sheriff Nigel as we felt that, though strong in its own right, he was lacking a bit.
We also took the opportunity to add new languages, German and, as you may have seen last week, Arabic. Thanks to Oskar Kalkbrenner and Khaled Alfares (Falcon_F5) for their help in translating the game!
That's all for today, you will find the list of changes below.
Enjoy!
