Howdy fellow gunslingers!
I hope you already had some fun with the new optional permadeath mode and save system! If not, now is the time!
New Patch
Today I got a big pack of fixes for you, addressing a lot of issues that were reported over the last weeks. The patch is live right now on all platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. If you experience any issues with the latest patch please always make sure to report the problem. I am reading every single report and try by best to react to it as fast as possible. Best way to reach out to me is via discord!
Physical Edition
For everyone owning a PlayStation or Nintendo Switch I got some more exciting news: Pre-Orders for the Colt Canyon physical release are open right now! We teamed up with Red Art Games to create a limited physical edition that you can pre-order now and get delivered later this year, of course with the patch 1.2.1.1 pre-applied! And if you don't own a console, go order a physical version anyway, because it's super limited to about a thousand copies and therefore a rare collectors item! (and of course it also supports the development of Colt Canyon).
So, if you got a few bucks to spare for a solo developer's first physical release, go grab your copy here:
PRE-ORDER AT REDARTGAMES.COM
That's it for today! Please find the full changelog below or on the Colt Canyon wiki.
