Sunset Rangers
Server Maintenance on 06/14
Also, it'll probably be reset (all saves will be lost unfortunately), that's mainly due to the base building mechanic being added to the game.
On Thursday this week we'll release an update containing the first base building version.
Stay tuned, cheers!
Base Building Updates
Howdy,
We've been working a lot on base building, trying to finish a first version as quickly as possible.
We'll leave most of the rules for building/destroying parts and the cost of each building part to be polished later, right now we are aiming towards a solid building system, with a few restrictions.
There won't be updates for now, probably one more week before the first draft is released.
Right now the system has the following features:
- Build bases using "Snap to grid" mechanic.
- Maximum of 3 stores high.
- Can't be too close to any town or fort.
- Can't build near other game buildings (other bases don't count towards this).
- Can't be wider than 150 meters (~500 ft).
- Basic "structure" rules (can't have top floors without proper supporting structures, etc).
I'll be releasing a few images of the system soon, this one is just a small sample.
Let me know what you think. :cowboyhat:

Sunset Rangers unique guns #8

This is the last unique revolver for the moment, the Shielded Papperbox.
The concept was introduced in the 15th century, but this type of handgun become popular in North America from 1830 until the American Civil War.
Pepperboxes should not be confused with a volley gun, a firearm that fires multiple projectiles simultaneously. The difference is, that the pepperbox, is a repeater firearm.
Friday we gonna start showing the rifles of sunset rangers, stay tuned!

Thirty. Yeah, thirty shots. You have thirty shots out of a single reload.
This French prototype never left the project table. But that doesn’t mean it won’t work. In Sunset Rangers, if shoots bullets, it works. And with thirty chambers filled with black powder and lead, doesn’t matter if works or not, everybody will run from you.
