To give you a small taste of how Wild West Dynasty’s survival aspects will influence your daily routine, we introduce our Wild West Diary, where we take you to different places within the rough western world. To shorten your waiting time for the next big announcement, join us on a journey into the Wild West around the 18th century.
Just another bloody hot day in the ranch. All this dirt, it’s everywhere. Can’t get rid of it. Prairie is harsh and unforgiving. It’s dangerous and deadly. Barely sleep last night, thinking about better days. No clues found so far, there’s this village hidden in the valley. Perhaps there I will find someone who can tell me what I need to know. Until then, I need more firewood it’s already sunset.
The term Wild West was first established in the U.S. in 1844 to describe a period by its roughness and lawlessness. Wild West Dynasty will mirror this time period to give you an exclusive survival experience you’ve never had before. The Wild West Diary series will give you a glimpse of the protagonist’s daily struggle of facing nature as his biggest ally while simultaneously being his worst enemy.
Only find rest in the shadows. The sunlight, always burning, the heat, constantly exhausting. Thinking about upgrading my equipment but even the best equipment can’t feed you, can’t quench your thirst. Need to hunt, need to eat, hope to find shelter in the shade. Hope is all I need.
Days of bright sunlight and a burning heat are often underestimated. It’s important to evaluate your situation under specific circumstances at specific times. As hot as the sun could be during the day, as unforgiving is the night with temperatures dropping rapidly . Without the appropriate gear, your chance of survival shrinks to a minimum regardless how trained you are.
Ordinary village, dead empty during the day, all folks gone, working, doing their everyday tasks, everyday feels the same, hard to track what’s the date, you can tell only by the wounds, old and new ones. Never-ending battle, the will to survive is stronger than everything.
Inhabitants were always alert when foreigners entered their villages or came close by. It’s humans’ nature to be anxious about the unknown. As unforgiving nature can be, humans can be far worse. Always be careful, always be alert, if you can’t fight the Wild Wests dangers, you will become part of its rough legacy.
We will continue this journey at another time, hopefully with your by our side. Please let us know what your impression about the Wild West is and how you would relate to our diary. As always: Stay tuned and keep your revolver loaded: Bullets will be shot, snakes will rustle, at the end of the day missing food will bring you in hustle.
Enjoy your week
Wild West Holidays!
Hey, cowboys and cowgirls!
We hope your horse is well-fed, your beard is weather-proof, and you have your woolen "Long Johns" with you. Winter has come to the Wild West. The trails are laden with snow and ice and your fellow gunslingers are freezing. Time to find the next saloon, grab the playing cards and prepare for the holidays!
Happy Holidays, cowboys and cowgirls!
PS: Don't forget the snow shovels!
Wild West Dynasty - Production Update No. 3
Howdy partners,
We know that you can't wait to pack your bags, set out to join us in the Wild West and explore this vast new world. The feeling is mutual. However, for a challenging journey like this, goods and luggage need to be transported safely and securely.
For this several types of wagons and carriages were commonly used in the past.
The most popular among them you might have heard about before: the Prairie Schooners, so named after their white canvas tops, gleaming in the distance like the sails of proud ships at sea.
Another vehicle, without which many a daring undertaking would have been doomed to fail, was the Conestoga.
As you can see, our goal to make the world that awaits you in Wild West Dynasty as authentic as possible extends to parts like this, too. Among all other things, we want our wagons and carriages to be true to their historical counterparts, in the tiniest graphical detail as well.
Let us know how you like them, and if you have any questions, we will, as always, be happy to answer them in the comment section.
Stay tuned for more glimpses and updates like this. Talk to you soon Cowboys and Cowgirls!
Yours, Virtual Magic Games and Toplitz Productions
A Life of a Cowboy
Howdy partner,
Come on in! It’s been a while! Although we might’ve been a bit quiet around these parts, it doesn't mean that we weren’t busy. Oh no! In fact we’ve been busy working on Wild West Dynasty’s gameplay, and that’s what we want to talk to you about.
The life of a cowboy is a hard life. After all, to survive in the wild and harsh environment of the Wild West is not a simple task. There are many challenges, obstacles, and tasks awaiting new explorers like yourself.
As the old saying goes, to get the job done, you first need the right tools, such as axes and pickaxes. Once you have them, you can start gathering materials. Collect sticks, cut down trees, and smash rocks to collect your first resources (all ranch owners start from somewhere).
Of course, sometimes it’s easier to pay for goods as opposed to trying to make them. But to buy them, well, you need money. And how can you earn money in the Wild West? Well, just don’t be shy and talk to the people that you meet! There could be plenty of tasks for you to do! By working hard and fulfilling them not only do you increase the weight of your purse, but your reputation level will grow too. And respect among your neighbors can be a very useful commodity.
Be careful, not all the locals you come across in the area are friendly. Some of them are really shady types. This is where guns and a keen eye can prove irreplaceable. After all, it is still the wild west!
And once your purse is full, it’s time to make a visit to the local shopkeeper. Mr. Johnny Market, and his shop have a wide range of goods on offer. He’s known around these parts for a wide range of goods and items, so making a choice could be difficult. One thing is certain, whatever you choose, it’s bound to be of excellent quality. Look around carefully because you can find many other useful things in the shop. One of those are clothes. Buy, collect, and combine them as you like. Maybe your unique style will catch someone's eye?
After a long day, you need to relax and recharge your batteries for whatever tomorrow brings. There is no better place to do this than the nearby Saloon. Its wide range of alcoholic beverages satisfies many men and women. Just remember that you will have to pay a little extra there since service costs too.
I hope that you enjoyed this little trip through a cowboy's day. Of course, there’s a lot more to do around these parts - but we’ll save that for another time we meet. This adventure, well, it is just beginning!
Until next time,
Your Virtual Magic Games and Toplitz Productions teams
