Sunset Rangers is coming to an end
Hi, First of all I'd like to manifest my heartfelt thanks for the supporters and players who helped design and develop this game and had a good time exploring all the features it has to offer. It's been almost 3 years since I had to wrap up development and call Sunset Rangers don

Karma/Factions

Being a Lawman or better karma and interacting with Lawman NPCs will now give you the position of a bad karma player in the server for a time.
Reduced faction gains by a factor of 5.
Base Building

Added a set of decor objects (chairs, tables, shelves, benches).
Gameplay

Reduced overall amount of ammo in loots.
Reduced the amount of trash itens in loots.
Reduced price and weight of tea components.
Reduced the amount of food available.
Increased food price.
Added townsfolk travelers.
Hello supporters, this version is the first Release Candidate, it's been a challenging journey creating Sunset Rangers and I feel I created a good experience being a solo developer creating such a complex game.
I'm moving towards putting Sunset Rangers out of Early Access and releasing it. Sadly I need to work towards wrapping up the project so I can move forward with my life, because Sunset Rangers is not being financially viable for a while now, and I need to pay the bills (I worked on the project for the past year with virtually no income).
Hopefully you'll understand the situation, the shear amount of indie games on Steam makes it really hard for small devs like me to receive any relevant visibility.
Thank you so much for all the support, feedbacks and suggestions.

Thank you all for the support, suggestions and feedback you've been providing me. It's been very important to help me develop Sunset Rangers. It's a very strong and inspiring vibe. I'm sure you all have affected the game in a very positive way.
I'll be out of office, in vacation, for the whole of December, and I'll only be able to provide support via email. That means the next update will be in January, so it's expected a little gap between this update and the next one, but don't worry, in January I'll be right back and working at full capacity. :)
I really wish you all a great end of year and a very happy 2018!
Cheers!
