Howdy, y’all!
Tapkeeper here along with the team at DEAD MAN’S HAND Saloon bringin’ you exciting news straight from the Wild Frontier.
First and foremost, we know you fine folks love a good wager, so we’re bettin’ you’ll like this news: players can now use their Frontier Credits in a number of new ways! Some of you already noticed you can place bounties on surviving players after you’ve been eliminated, but those divine minds at the HEAVEN CORPORATION are rollin’ out something new! Keep on reading to find out more.
Character Customization — Coloring the Wild Frontier
Starting in the 1.1.0 Colorful Frontier update, patrons can use their hard earned Frontier Credits to purchase new colors for their frontier units! Whether it’s the clothes, the hair, or even the body, our good friends at the HEAVEN CORPORATION are sparing no expense to let your favorite automatons roll out in style! Ever wanted to see Saloongirl in a blue ensemble? Or maybe the Lawman needs a bit more silver in his mustache? These and more are at your command.
Of course, all patrons will have access to a handful of extra color options right away, so feel free to start gettin’ all dolled up for the occasion as soon as the patch drops.
To usher in this new era of Wild Frontier Fashion, we’ve also got a new menu for character customization. Just select the CUSTOMIZE option from the main menu. From there you’ll be able to set your character and colors along with your name and motto. The colors you unlock along the way will be added to your drop down options, with additional colors being added as time ticks along.
New Game Type: Hydra Mode
A handful of players have expressed interest in seeing a game type where you can get your head blown off once or twice but still be in the game. We're happy to share that you've got your wish.
Coming in Patch 1.1.0, we've added what we call Hydra Mode— when you blow away one head, another one moves into its place.
Players will be able to activate this mode in the pre-game lobby. This mode will grant each player 3 lives. Just heed this word of warning- Hydra Mode is not to be used lightly in games featuring more than just two players. Matches last much, much longer once the Hydra Mode is in play, so prepare accordingly before you jump in.
Exclusive Rewards for Play Testers and Frontier Pioneers
Last but certainly not least, we want to give a very special thank you to those fine patrons who stepped up to the DEAD MAN’S HAND Saloon when she first began to open her doors. Venturing out into unknown lands is always risky, but those of you who rose to the challenge have made all the difference for us folks here in Heavenside. That’s why we want to show our appreciation with somethin’ special just for you.
Firstly, all patrons who have registered the game to their account prior to the release of patch 1.1.0 will receive an exclusive color for their frontier units. This bonus will automatically be applied to all accounts who own the game prior to the launch of patch 1.1.0, so be sure to snag it before it’s too late if you want to reap the reward. That's June 27th, for those still on the fence.
As an additional thank you to those who not only picked up DEAD MAN’S HAND after its launch but also those who participated in our testing periods, our beta testers will be receiving an additional exclusive as well in the future, so please keep an eye out for correspondence from our team in the near future.
That's all for this edition of Wild Frontier news. Once again, we offer our most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has purchased DEAD MAN'S HAND: Card Roulette Action. We have even more exciting content coming in the future, and that includes special features we're saving for when the player population grows to certain numbers. If you enjoy the game, tell a friend, or even better, buy them a copy.
