Merry Christmas Banditos! Also happy late holidays for anyone who celebrates on different days and different holidays. Was Traveling a bit but also finishing up the story and script of the game.
I am shooting for around 30-50 hours of story not including side quests and other things you can do. Remember I am having Farming, Banditry, Brewing, Crafting of the deep plates meaning not just "oh I can make tacos" no I want many types of food not just one bland thing of cooking a simple meal. Oh and Ill also be adding buffs to certain foods that way in the winter you can run faster and yada yada food buffs, food good we like food especially tacos!!
That being said as well I have added the abilities to milk the cows and they are actually moving around, For some reason the interact didnt like the cow being able to move free and willing. One bug is the Milk follows the cow so you're chasing him down so that has to be fixed.
On top of that questing is coming great but we have some visual bugs as in the notification won't leave the screen and even completing it wont tell you that you did. Thats is frustrating enough to not push that out yet because as a gamer I would be pretty upset if the quests are broken at launch.
I also am planning future states and what would make them worth it based on what they were doing in that time. That comes later after the game is feature complete as I plan on maintaining the game for years to come.
Also I am looking into Co-Op mode and a online mode. The online mode takes a lot to learn and get going and no I will not put microtransactions in the online i'll make them just unlockable.
Sorta it for now so be Safe enjoy video games and being with Family!

Oh I hired a actual artist to re do the poster and cover of the game. I suck at that art style so I know it could be fluffed up and it can be way better
World Fixes small patches mean big progress!
Ayo Banditos got some bugs whacked as they weren't paying us.
The Cantina was having a problem letting you walk through walls. Allowing you to get caught in the abyss.
Ontop of that when you want to go back to mexico i have fixed that to be interactable and the Bedroom Door interaction collison was expanded because it was hard to activate.
Saves are getting closer, on top of map expansions, lakes, forrests, towns and random npcs. I am writing and finalizing the script and quests that are tied to the story along with random and repeating quests as well.
Hope you all had a great holiday for thanksgiving and happy holidays around the world. Including a very big amount of people in Germany that like my game, Means alot not just Germany but around the world.
Thank you again, enjoy the update Sorry trying to tackle this and job while other things are a little slow.

Update on progress!
Alright so here is the bad news first well not really bad.
So as you all know it is writing a save file but for some reason its not pulling the data correctly. As I am getting close to fixing it I am also going to flesh the world out and finalize the script and story.
Along with that will be an inventory fix and weather with day and night.
This will make it a full game but the only thing is the saves and some bugs. Oh Oh Oh and pre orders so I am going to not only make a little mini of the player but it will come with some post cards with art of the game and hand written notes from me. I will also have them in a box when i can figure out a cool day of the dead themed box.
That means when the Game is ready to go the pre orders on the supporter pack are done and the price will never go above 15.99 usd.
This does not mean the end of the development either as I will continue the improvement and additions of other state and regions in the game for free. I have also looked and researched multiplayer and would like a Co-Op and Online mode. Not only that once i get the Inventory working that means new guns and outfits. Crafting and when you cook food you will have many options not just plain Tacos.
I apologize that the game has taken longer than expected as I am one guy doing it all with a passion for us gamers to enjoy something without pay lock.
Again thank you to the people playing the demo and supporter pack it means alot. keep the bugs coming in and ideas and I will look into it. The website is still under construction as I have big ideas for it.
Games for Gamers Always!!!!

Saves are here! Well Sorta
Ok so saving and loading seems to be working at the moment. I will say sometimes it bugs out so let me know if you guys are having issues.
On Top of that most travel locations are on command now! Making it way more streamline and stopping you from teleporting mid conversation especially when talking to Salem the cat outside the Cantina.
Atm that is sorta it until i really nail down this and some bugs and we are really in the home stretch with almost completing a game.
It has taken me years of the coding, art, marketing and a bunch of losing my mind and a long amount of research into what things looked like and what was happening where to hone in on the western with day of the dead theme.
That Being said I am working on a Trailer with some stuff I have been testing that isnt play worthy yet but its working enough for concept footage, feel me?
Again Thank you for the Thousands of people playing this and the demo I love you all, I set out to make a game against microtransactions and by doing it alone and life happening it definitely changed the pace.
I just want a game that im not stuck doing one thing but also freedom to do other things without my wallet breaking.
Games for Gamers Always!!
Oh getting close to getting models 3D designed to test print for a thank you to supporters along with big Mouse pads and maybe shirts or poster it really depends, but I will come up with something like the good old pre order days.

Upcoming Update!
Ok so my banditos we are getting closer to being able to save the progress and have you save your game! That being said once that is done boom smooth sailing on getting the game done!
Also I will be releasing bug fixes and a huge quality of life update being able to save through player beds and, also when you travel to different locations you can now see a interact button. You can now travel on command no more just being booted to a new location when you are talking to npcs.
I apologize for the slowness as being one guy is really hard to juggle but you guys really keep me going. also for the support back reward im looking into 3d printed figures and game pads like the big game pads. Let me know how you feel about that.
Thats really all summed down really small. Once saves are in I can spend time getting quests and the story completed and then shops and crafting, farming is a little later as its not required in the game but is very useful depending on your play style.
Catering to alot of styles and gameplay is what takes so long. I dont want this to just be another farm game or some shoot em up small puddle of a world product. That is why I wont do Procedural worlds, it just takes away from the art and style. While also making the art and music for myself and the coding, it has not been easy. I do it for us the gamers who want real experiences and playability without 40 dollar content locked as DLC's
Thank you as Always, Games for Gamers Alwayss!!!!

Getting Closer to being able to save and continue!
Ayo Ayo hope everyone is enjoying the fact it is getting colder outside. Let's talk about saving and loading. I have it loading saves now which is nice but, I still need to have it load when you close the game not just go back to the menu.
So that being said just keep the comments rolling on and telling me if anything is broken or anything you want changed or added.
Thank you banditos. BTW when you buy the supporter pack keep the receipt because I am talking with getting really cool merch done like the old days when you pre ordered something.
Again i know asking for the supporter pack is a lot seeing the game industry state and economy. That being said I am one guy and it really helps me push this more while I work a job and train for Bodybuilding competitions.
One last thing. Controller support I have really nailed it to comfortability when you want to play with controller you just pick it up no setting to mess with. I just need to get the Crosshair to move with the stick. I am trying to make this game enjoyable to anyone and alot of people are more happy with controller. Or you just had a long day at work and just want to relax trust me i get that.
Thank you again, Games for Gamerssss Always!

Let us talk about what is being worked on
So right now you may notice when you go to the menu and hit start it is saving your progress, but will not when you exit the game. Hence why you see the continue button that being said, Working on save files that way you can actually roll through the story and keep any progress that you are doing in the world.
On top of that since i have working dialogue now to flesh out quests and fix the inventory. Once that works it will come with shops with selling and buying along with farming. With that when i can get the economy working I can get the first mini games working, Poker. Then it wont stop there for those gems.
I have also been trying to keep some enemy types under hush but I will announce our newest enemy. (The Yodeling Bandit) can't say much but oh boy the humor.
With that comes alot of me bug smashing at the same time making it as bug free and no performance hogging.
Again I got tired of non enjoyable games that matter and allow freedom, Especially coming home from work and just wanting a great experience not muddled with microtransactions and locked content that should be in the game already.
That is all for now enjoy and let me know if you encounter anything or want to see something in the game I will see about adding it.

Branching Dialogue fixed!
Banditos Banditos I have done it. I fixed the branching dialogue now when you finish a conversation and come back it will move on to other talking points.
Not only that but some bug fixes here and there! got the shops sorta working so that's later when the inventory is done and linked up to the dialogue!
Btw i was kinda keeping it hush hush but when the inventory works you'll be able to set up camp anywhere and hang out and chill between adventures!
Also Horse Riding is nearing the middle point of dev and i am using the cows for now thats why youll see a cow standing and not moving outside the cantina.
Also I would like to ask seeing how you all are the players of the game. Would you like the cantina to be moved into the city or should I keep it at the border and build a town around there. To me it doesnt make sense the cantina is in the middle of nowhere.
Banditos with Bandanas including a few new colors like red. This makes it so i can have henchmen in the gangs and work on the leaders as well. Yes I will make them joinable or not your choice because thats a video game, choices and fun.
Working on bounty hunting as well for free no micro transactions for gameplay.
Thats all for now. Games for gamerrrrsss Always! Blake"AggressiveKiwi" Out!
Free Demo Update!
Hey Banditos its time for me to update the free demo.
This is about three updates behind so you get the old dialogue(RIGHT CLICK TO START DIALOGUE) Bug fixes. new animals. better weapon handling. Bigger maps more towns and the first city in Mexico!
You will get the first part of the inventory system as well along with bug fixes from the older build. I recommend full delete and reinstall to have the proper download!
Again bugs are expecting to happen so please let me know!
One man team with a dream for us gamers. Thank you. Games for gamersss always!

Some Bug fixes, Crash Fixes and more bandidos!
Hey Hey so I noticed a lot of stuff went wrong with the update so this package should help fix some stuff, let's break it down.
1. I noticed things in the dialogue like the wheel and choices not showing up in the right spot, fixed that and now i'm fine tuning the ability to go to other states and come back and the story progresses so dialogue saving and game saving are on the way!
2. Noticed some people are crashing or just freezing when going to other areas or just stuck in the black screen of death. Fixed so hopefully when you travel it wont crash.
Added bandidos with bandanas to all the gangs also added yellow gangs and red. gotta finish the others and once dialogue works i can get reputations going.
Inventory is still buggy but that is fine right now farming is not a huge part of the game atm so you dont have to worry about that.
Thats a little break down. thank you for the support I know its taken a while but one man team gets the dream!
