Howdy everyone!
The day has finally come. Today Wild West and Wizards officially launches on Steam, leaving Early Access. I want to go over what has changed since the Early Access launch and what updates are coming to the game after launch.
WHAT’S CHANGED SINCE THE EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH?
Since the launch on Early Access back in August we’ve added a slew of new content and improvements to the game. Our main goal was to get the game more polished and make sure there was plenty of content to keep you engaged while you explore the new frontier. Here’s a list of some of the major changes we’ve made since then.
- Two brand new classes have been added: The Witch Doctor and The Gunslinger. These classes come with unique starting abilities and their own talent trees changing the way you play the game.
- New Map UI and quest marker system making navigating more fun but still leaving a sense of raw exploration to the game.
- Graphics improvements such as volumetric lighting and an updated UI
- New AI animations and physics
- A complete main story quest line with access to all three wizard tower dungeons
- New points of interests, puzzles, items, abilities, and side quests added throughout the world
- Performance improvements and bug fixes
These are just some of the changes we’ve made but overall we’re very happy with the state of the game and feel there is a ton of content to experience that should keep you busy exploring the Wild West for quite some time.
WHAT’S TO COME
Our main focus with the post launch updates is to continue to add content such as quests, new points of interest, and new items for you to earn. The next update will feature multiple brand new high level bounty quests you can pick up in the various towns. These quests will take you to new dungeons and caves with puzzles, new enemies, loot, and of course, secrets. We also are planning some updates to add more quests to the guilds such as The Assassin's Guild and The Bounty Hunters Guild.
We will share more about these new updates in the coming weeks.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR LAVABOOTS
In addition to working on new content for Wild West and Wizards, we are also working on our next project, a sequel to our open world pirate game, Salt. Salt 2 is still early in the works but we can’t wait to share more with you. Follow us on our social channels such Discord, Twitter, and Facebook for updates.
Thank you so much to everyone in our community who has helped us shape Wild West and Wizards into the game it is today. Happy questing!
