Supporter's Pack DLC Releases Soon
It's finally coming. The paid DLC pack features content such as archive documents, a retrospective, and additional playable versions; an alpha build, a 2018 Deluxe Edition demo, and an additional special course.
Please note, that this DLC will not effect your copy of The Bounty V2 in any way, and is a completely optional way to show support. It will consist of a .zip file that contains everything for you to peruse in whatever manner you wish.
The Bounty V2 has a broad international audience; and while the original game is still only in English, the DLC's PDFs have been translated into the following languages, in no particular order;
Chinese
German
Spanish
French
Italian
Japanese
Polish
Brazilian Portuguese
Turkish
Russian
I had planned on additional languages, but limitations of the service I hired and cost to do so forced me to limit to those with the largest player counts.
This DLC is really just a way to get some cool stuff and to show support; hopefully it makes enough of a stir to help fund a big multiplatform reimagining.
Thank you for playing!

The Bounty V2.2 Final Update is Live!
The final update (barring emergency bugfixes) has been uploaded and is now available on Steam.
I'll be doing some reaching out and rounds of promo and everything as time allows, but there's a lot
going on between this, work going forward, life, and MO Gamecon coming up... so as the story has been
during this entire rebuild/refresh, I can only devote so much time to this game.
A few changes-
Updated resolution to fit Steam Deck requirements
Tweaked code on spike traps
Updated monster sprites
Updated some character/event sprites
Updated font
Updated dog- you name them, they follow you on the map screen, and you can pet them!
Approximately 23423432 bugs found/created and fixed
Audio tweaks
Store page has been updated with a brand new trailer, and several new screenshots.
You can find more complete lists in other updates.
I'm extremely proud of , and hope people enjoy playing it as much as I did creating it.
Home stretch!
So, I thought it might be fun to share the worklist. I typically use a kanban board for overall project management and these for smaller day-to-day tasks but as this was supposed to be a relatively minor (surprise, it wasn't) update, I just ran with this. These dynamically grow as new sub-issues are found, and can be chaotic, but still. Fun to share.

New content showcasing at MO GameCon 21
The Bounty V2 has another game mode coming, with the first scenario debuting in live competition at MO GameCon 2021.
These EX Courses (as they're called at the moment) are small sets of new levels, clearable in well under 10 minutes (closer to 5); perfect for head to head competition. The goal is, of course, to save Walter Day and score as many points as possible; but also as quickly as possible, as you are rewarded a time bonus that ticks away with every second spent.
This first course will be coming as an update to your Steam copy of The Bounty V2 shortly after MO Gamecon's September 18th event date.
You can learn more about MO GameCon here.
See you soon,
Dave
Game On!
I didn't think this would happen; my backups were all lost- the only thing that survived anywhere after catastrophic data loss across multiple drives (it's a long story), was the packaged release.
Or so I thought. I recently came across a partial mobile build that I had been working on last year, that OneDrive had taken upon itself to start uploading before the connection was severed. Fortunately, all of the code survived.
So! The past couple of weeks I've spent a lot of time re-importing and fixing assets from the Steam game, as well as rebuilding lost scripting; the stuff that had been changed to facilitate the mobile game. Thank whatever gods there may be that I left all of the level data!
Bottom line, this journey is finally coming to a close. There's a lot of work to do, but it's progressing very quickly.
Stay tuned, and thank you for your support.
