Thank you for your support of Whispers in the West. Since we released the demo during Steam Next Fest, more than 1500 players have tried it, and 1200 players have wishlisted the game on Steam so far.
We’re delighted by the positive feedback we received from many of you, and we’ve not sat back since the launch of the demo. After nearly two months of hard work, we’re delighted to introduce a few exciting new features:
Soundtracks
This is music to our ears!! We’ve now included two beautifully composed tracks “Confronting the Man in Black” and “We Don’t Need Railroads” from Harvey Carmen(@composercarman ) in the game. Besides being a talented musician, Harvey has also been a long-time patron of Whispers in the West.
In-game Voice Chat
We’ve made it easier for you to communicate with your friends by incorporating voice chat in the game. Of course, you can still use your favourite voice chat software like Discord if you prefer.
Improved Message Pinning feature
Now you can pin messages directly in the dialogues, and pinned messages will be broadcast to your party, making it easier to take notes and community with your teammates.
Enhanced Case Report UI
We have reworked the Case Report UI.
Game Flow Highlighting
We have made it simpler and easier to follow the flow of the game.
Unity Analytics
To help us identify and analyse any technical issues, we introduced Unity Analytics. This means we can fix bugs more quickly, leaving you and your team to solve the case with no interruptions. You can opt in/out of this feature in the game.
We’d like to present you with the best game experience possible, and we need your support! In case you missed it, we’re running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for three new mystery scripts. We’ve also hand-picked some unique merchandise for our early supporters.
