Bounty Trail

All the gameplay code has now been written, and translations have been ordered. Next week I will add the translations and do some final fine-tuning of the gameplay, then release Hard Mode on Friday, October 9. Besides simply making the bounties tougher this mode will also introduce some refinements to the gameplay, like Health and Intimidation meters that you'll need to manage. The update also comes with a few improvements that affect Standard Mode as well, like a new Final Stats screen which shows a summary of your game after you've finished it.This new content ended up being more elaborate than I'd imagined at first, which is why it took longer than planned. I can't wait to hear what people think of it!

This week I’ve mainly been working on the Hard Mode, which will need at least another 1-2 weeks for fine tuning and translations before release.I’ve also made some changes that improve the Standard Mode, mostly subtle gameplay tweaks and bugfixes, but the biggest improvement is the new Event Timer!When you perform actions the time is now displayed as a clock, which gives you a better idea of how long the actions take, and also fits the western style better, compared to the previous circular loading bar.Notes:-improved event timer display.-changes to hunt summary screen.-gameplay tweaks and bugfixes.

Spent this week working on Hard Mode. I've thought about it for a long time, but once I started making it I also came up with several new ideas for it. The mode will probably require a few more weeks of work and tweaking before it's ready. This week I also fixed several bugs connected to the Standard Mode, and did a few tweaks to gameplay and difficulty. Standard mode changes: -gameplay and difficulty tweaks. -bugfixes.

Here's the week 2 update for Bounty Trail. I will try to release updates every Friday for the next few weeks, improving and polishing the game bit by bit. -you can now repay the final debt in December as soon as you have the money. -added a few more silhouette animations/poses. -more wildlife: birds in the menu and frogs in the rain. -you can now scroll the text in the Recent Events screen. -a few small additions/improvements to audio and art. -gameplay tweaks. -bugfixes. Also the game is now Steam Deck verified!
