A little teaser for our next leg. In Sheriff's offices, you can access the bulletin board, which will later be used to display missions and bounties for your party. The most prominent content we'll be implementing next is 3 new playable classes and a boss fight!

@2dcon.gg was a rousing success this year! We, in particular, got to learn that the game is super easy to get the hang of! We still have a few hiccups to fix before our next demo is released online, but be sure to be on the lookout soon! #gamedev #indiedev

Howdy, y'all! Be sure to come visit us at
@2dcon.gg 's Indie Island this year to pick up a special Sheriff sticker with the pride color of your choosing! Because, out west, it don't matter if yer gay, straight, trans or even Italian! We all end up in a pine box eventually 🤠

In addition to battling bandits, wildlife, and overcoming the trials of nature itself, your party will also encounter lots of other travelers on the trail when going between towns. Should you choose to help, harm, humor or hinder them is all up to you

Your party's first mission will be to travel to the town of Salt Lake, Utah. This town on the shore of the Great Salt Lake is a haven for the Mormon people. Be sure to also visit the Sheriff's office to get a look at missions to come post-demo 2

Meet the Prospector! This hulking miner is willing to go through Hell and highwater in search of precious gold. Armed with a heavy pickaxe and volatile dynamite, she'll reduce anyone who crosses her to smithereens! #gamedev #indiedev

Meet the Surgeon! This Bavarian doctor/barber/therapist carries over 40 years of medical experience under his belt. But he has discovered that he's quite a bit in over his head out in the rough 'n tumble wild west. #gamedev #indiedev

Meet the Gunslinger! This wiry young cowpoke is a deadly adversary with a gun in his hand! When given the time to prepare, virtually nothing can stand in his way between him and another notch on his pistol. #gamedev #indiedev

Meet the Sheriff! It's you, pardner! The Sheriff is the player surrogate with iron morals, a skilled hand, and a quick draw with a classic sixshooter to stomp out bad guys and bring them to justice! #indiedev #gamedev
