Letter From the Devs
Hello everyone!
We are very excited that have launched Outlaws of the Old West! Starting today, everyone will be able to login and experience the world that we have spent so much time crafting.
It’s important to remember that Outlaws of the Old West is an early access title. And as such, there are going to be bugs...but we’ve spent a lot of time playtesting and balancing various parts of the game, while paying special attention to the quality of life experiences (yes, you can move a full box of inventory without taking everything out!). We are committed to fixing issues, first with the big ticket items like performance, AI, and anything ‘game breaking’. After we hammer out the bigger issues, we will turn our focus onto smaller, but no less important problems, like those floating torches...
We will be launching into Early Access on Steam priced at $19.99, discounted to $14.99 for you early adopters.
We need your comments and thoughts about the game post launch, as this feedback will be invaluable to the games’ success and more importantly, how we craft the ingame experiences based on what you, the players, want.
We are looking forward to working with you all in making Outlaws of the Old West the game you want to play.

Pony Express 2: March 7th
Howdy folks!
Welcome to our second installment of the Pony Express. Today we are bringing you journal pages from Joan Hartwell, an unscrupulous outlaw who finds herself out west with nothing but the clothes on her back.
Joan may get her revenge, but her story isn't over yet. Stay tuned for more stories and screenshots brought to you by the Pony Express.

Pony Express 1: March 1st
Howdy everyone!
The Pony Express will bring you all sorts of news, images, and videos regarding Outlaws as we travel from Early Access to full release.
Early Access is coming very soon, and we want to share some screenshots from Outlaws of the Old West.
Most people will find themselves settling on the more temperate plains. You will have to contend with wolves, bears, bandits, and other outlaws for space and resources.
Others will brave the cold mountains, which offer snow and ice in spades. Here, you'll find it more challenging to settle and survive, but you will have a more solitary experience for your efforts.
The deserts present their own challenges, with aggressive mountain lions and territorial rams. With fewer wood resources and hot temperatures, not every outlaw will survive in the wastelands.
Lastly, here is a quick look at an earlier version of our in-game UI. While some elements have been changed, this is what you can expect when you login to the world of Outlaws for the first time.
We hope everyone has a great weekend, and we are all looking forward to when you can spend some time here with us!
