Absolutely amazing game! A bit disappointed we can't interact more with the star-struck girl at the beginning; the dynamic seemed potentially interesting, especially as it looks like things are in fact going to go in a romantic-old-west direction. Also not sure what you do with the rope. Overall quite fun, though, and I like how rare but meaningful combat will hopefully be.
This game is so gorgeous!!! All of the animations stunned me! Totally put on my wishlist :D Owned a follower (and, if you want to, check our page too!)
I'm afraid not, at least not currently. The fonts are all custom and while I would love to I don't have the budget to do the work to make it support any other language than English right now. However, if I ever get the resources I would love to have it translated into as many language as possible!
Awww thanks! Sadly the game hit a small bump and is currently on hiatus, but hoping to get back to it after my other game Yolk Hero releases! Thank you so much for checking in.
Redownloaded after playing through once, trashing it, and randomly thinking a few days later, "wait, I had a gun and a single bullet at the start...what if-". Now my time is being devoured by combing through every dialog option, and I could not be happier.
Hahaha! Glad you're not disappointed. I'm trying to come up with ways to make sure the player is informed just how many 'options' there are early on. Sometimes i think that gets lost.
Yeah I get where you're coming from there. The first area is really good at encouraging the player to try out different ways to solve a puzzle, but all of that went completely over my head at first.
Also, I've got a list of glitches/"I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to happen" moments I've encountered so far. Most are just pieces of dialog that're missing or come up when they're not supposed to (folks acting like you shot somebody when you didn't, certain dialog choices getting no response, stuff like that). I think only one bug forced me to restart the scene to keep playing. Not sure how useful any of it is, but I'm down to give details if it helps.
Please do! I'm supposed to collect bugs from all the feedback, and I would love this list. Bonus points if you have screenshots but that's a lot of extra effort.
Start with the front page. It's pretty famous for its horror, but honestly, just type in the search bar your favorite genres and pick anything free you think looks fun. Just look around and enjoy yourself.
Ohhh this is really cool! Though, playing the browser demo (on firefox if that helps?) my cursor kept falling as if affected by gravity, made it really hard to shoot on target >.<
AMAZING just amazing! I cant wait to see more of this
aslo when the expanded version comes out (if there will be expanded verison) i think you should add a part in the story when the ending changes if the player chose to kill no one or kill as much as they can, would be cool and aslo add more reason to replay the game after finishing, Anyways.
Trust me, killing or not killing people will have consequences in later chapters. Doooon't worry. I'm also trying to put in an element that will make it more clear what you've done and what impact it has.
This game is absolutely incredible, the gameplay and artwork are amazing and the characters and dialogue are even better. And that's just the demo!! Can't wait for the full release.
As much as I liked the game at the start there is a problem that it looks like the game boots up in the wrong resolution and it is too long, it doesn't affect the graphics but it makes impossible to pass the first scene because I cannot use items. And the game does not have any settings to adjust anything, I have already tested on other games and it looks like it is only with this game that it happens. (also I tried the steam version and it is the same)
The game is fantastic and so fun! The pixel art is so pretty the story is really intresting and the puzzles are unique I can't wait for the full game to come out I wishlisted it on steam now!
Btw how much do you think the finished game will cost? And more important question Can we get a minigun?
The finished game will either be released in chapters, at like 2-5 bucks each. Or as a total at like 10-20 bucks. Somewhere in there. I don't want the 'whole thing' to cost more than 20 bucks. I want people to be able to buy it, even if I've put years and years of my life into it.
You won't be CARRYING a mini-gun around, however there is at least one sequence involving one planned.... so if that doesn't get cut, you may get to use one.
Thank you! I'm not a solo dev. This was a team of like 5 core people with several freelancers coming in to do some pixel art help. I WISH I could do this solo. This would never have been possible alone. At least not by me. Maybe someone much more talented.
Great job PixelWestern! Really awesome looking game. Excited to play the full game on release! This is inspiring as someone who has started down this journey.
hey i remember this game, or i guess it's origins now, either way i remember loving it, and i'm glad to see it being expanded on, especially with this direction
Fantastic...and romantic! It's like a movie with a female protagonist showing her heroic charm.
By the way, I'm super curious about whether I can join your discord, or chat with you on Twitter on something. Just want to talk about some business stuff. Any interest? The game's amazing!
Thank you so much! Just checked your twitter and followed you, but I couldn't DM you. Don't know why, do you mind checking if you have opened DM? Thanks again! Looking forward to chat with you via DM ;)
I like the animation of the dodging after shooting, very... well of course not very realistic, but very awesome. Choices are fairly logical too, most games like this get lost in the action and forget the story
Man, this was like Rambo mixed with the Magnificent Seven and blended liberally with The Dark Tower. I had lots of fun, thank you so much
ps. use J. Cole as the background music and you get a different feel altogether, even more superb
Been really busy with the day job. I'll try and collate all this stuff and have a real talk with the lead dev next week. Hopefully get an update for you soon.
REALLY LIKE THE GAME ITSELF ESPECIALLY ON HOW THE PEOPLE INTERACT WITH THE CHOICES YOU HAVE MADE!!! KEEP IT UP GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE!!! JESUS LOVES Y'ALL

Your welcome. Gonna enjoy myself by taking it slow
Exciting demo, waiting for the final thing. :)
(Only a little problem to report: on the browser demo the cursor constantly slides right)
Annoying, can you tell me your browser and computer specs?
Sure!
I'm on Firefox 110.0.1 (64-bit), on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Build 19045.2364 (64-bit).
Please, feel free to ask me other infos if you need more!
same problem here, also firefox and windows 10

That's the dream!
I really like this game, but for some reason I can't access my inventory :(. The brown little triangle thing doesn't appear.
Huh... in the downloaded version as well? If not try that. If that still happens, can you let me know all your specs and maybe take a screen shot?
This game is so gorgeous!!! All of the animations stunned me! Totally put on my wishlist :D Owned a follower (and, if you want to, check our page too!)
Sure! I mean, you're a hex frog, I gotta check that out.
You're 100% right, frogs are the best <3 Our team gonna stay tuned on your work, we loved it!
Thanks for saying so. Good luck to your team, seems talent bloated! (Bloated like a frog)
very enjoyable 5 out of 5
You're a 5 out of five stars!
是否支持中文？
I'm afraid not, at least not currently. The fonts are all custom and while I would love to I don't have the budget to do the work to make it support any other language than English right now. However, if I ever get the resources I would love to have it translated into as many language as possible!
You can extract the text file and send it to me, and we can try using ChatGPT to help you create it in Chinese
没有，不过应该影响不大
It's definitely on the list of things I want to get done with the final release if I can.
Very nice! If you get a chance play the longer demo by downloading it if you liked that short bit!
incredible,,,, 5 stars
You're five stars!
I know I already leave a comment here before, but I just can't stop enjoying the game OST. added with the animation at the end of the demo
The person who did the music will be very glad to hear that.
Super cool Game! Love the art style, controls and setting. Wishlisted!
Thank you!
Such a BUSSIN' demo! Really want to play it when it's done.
Inb4 in dev tag will be lost.
Huh? Inb4? EXPLAIN! (Thanks for liking the demo.)
Just a friendly reminder of the good old /b/
Awww thanks! Sadly the game hit a small bump and is currently on hiatus, but hoping to get back to it after my other game Yolk Hero releases! Thank you so much for checking in.
This is awesome! Putting this on my Steam wishlist immediately. Can't wait to see the full game.
Thank you so much!

Just poking again! That list could save me a lot of time! So if you have it, pelase giiiive me it.
Sorry for the wait! Things have been hectic exam-wise, plus I wanted to give a few of them recordings to show what's going on. I'm planning to add a few more when I'm less busy, but here's what I've got so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wmx54LI-nPdFpUhUvfCK84AcBUscspmLRPVkOk5lP7o/...
Thank you! please add any more you have found. this is great! you're a hero!
Great game. Like it a lot, but too big for me. You should give it a shot.
Too big for you? Hahaha, and it's just a demo!
Jesus, this is great, love how it starts as The Quest for Booze(TM) then the real plot begins. I cannot wait for the full version!
Gotta get your booze on.
Great Job! Amazing game! :)
Thank you!
Np! I need your help, I’m new to itch, and was wondering if you could give me like a mini tour of it. Lol :)
Start with the front page. It's pretty famous for its horror, but honestly, just type in the search bar your favorite genres and pick anything free you think looks fun. Just look around and enjoy yourself.
Okay! Ty! If I may ask, you want to see my new game? If not it’s fine. Tysm!
I'd love to. Link me.
i like how the guy makes a comment about waving the gun about while i pull out and put my gun away over and over again
i mean in the demo of course
Hahaha. Thank you for not doing it in real life.
no wild westussy?
We can't have everything.
This is awesome
You are awesome.
*Struggles to take compliment
SO. AWESOME.
Ohhh this is really cool! Though, playing the browser demo (on firefox if that helps?) my cursor kept falling as if affected by gravity, made it really hard to shoot on target >.<
WEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD. Thanks for the boop/bug report.
AMAZING just amazing! I cant wait to see more of this

Keep your Soul bright!
Trust me, killing or not killing people will have consequences in later chapters. Doooon't worry. I'm also trying to put in an element that will make it more clear what you've done and what impact it has.
game is amazing
but when I got to the redstar I found a bug where he would stop shooting and just running around and I lost all my bullets because he would not die
Haha! I'm sorry. Thanks for the bug report though. It's a living demo, so feedback like this is great. We'll see about getting that fixed.
This game is absolutely incredible, the gameplay and artwork are amazing and the characters and dialogue are even better. And that's just the demo!! Can't wait for the full release.
Me either!
As much as I liked the game at the start there is a problem that it looks like the game boots up in the wrong resolution and it is too long, it doesn't affect the graphics but it makes impossible to pass the first scene because I cannot use items.

try changing resolution of your screen to 1280x720 before launching the game
Oh, thanks! This is the main dev here, he actually did the code, so i'd listen to him.
The game is fantastic and so fun! The pixel art is so pretty the story is really intresting and the puzzles are unique I can't wait for the full game to come out I wishlisted it on steam now!

Bonnie is named after her.
I saw this game tree months ago on steam and put it on wishlist it's avaliable for download. And it turns out amazing and beyond my expectation
I enjoyed how everyone reacted when you pull your gun out as well the choices that presented.
I hope this game will be finished one day.
edit: some minor mistake
It's okay. My steam page had a spelling error on it for like 2 years.
i'm really impressed by what can a solo developer do. keep going pal!
Thank you! I'm not a solo dev. This was a team of like 5 core people with several freelancers coming in to do some pixel art help. I WISH I could do this solo. This would never have been possible alone. At least not by me. Maybe someone much more talented.
Love the writing, love the style. Really excited for the full deal.
Awww, thank you. You're amazing.
Great job PixelWestern! Really awesome looking game. Excited to play the full game on release! This is inspiring as someone who has started down this journey.
I hope we get to release. It's still a very long road.
hey i remember this game, or i guess it's origins now, either way i remember loving it, and i'm glad to see it being expanded on, especially with this direction
Thank you, for playing the original and this one. I love you!
that man has yeed his last haw
And hawed his last yeet!
LMAO
You get it.
Fantastic...and romantic! It's like a movie with a female protagonist showing her heroic charm.
By the way, I'm super curious about whether I can join your discord, or chat with you on Twitter on something. Just want to talk about some business stuff. Any interest? The game's amazing!
You can very much chat with me on twitter. @Matthewmritter send me a DM. DM's always open.
Thank you so much! Just checked your twitter and followed you, but I couldn't DM you. Don't know why, do you mind checking if you have opened DM? Thanks again! Looking forward to chat with you via DM ;)
Count me stupid and slap me goop-ed. I didn't have DMs open. When did that change?! Ugh. Should be open now?
Fckin fantastic, bro
I like the animation of the dodging after shooting, very... well of course not very realistic, but very awesome. Choices are fairly logical too, most games like this get lost in the action and forget the story
Man, this was like Rambo mixed with the Magnificent Seven and blended liberally with The Dark Tower. I had lots of fun, thank you so much
ps. use J. Cole as the background music and you get a different feel altogether, even more superb
Interesting. I'll have to try that. THANK YOU!
good!
Great!
i see that Vash-looking goofball. i'm sold.
Hehe, he's less goofy in this, has a different name... but yes, it's very obviously Vash.
Demo seems promising, will you be releasing the full version here as well? I don't use Steam.
IF i ever get it done, of course.
Good answer! Well I'll follow you here and wait and see.
Thank you!
there needs to be a mac version for this
i want to play it
I'll see what I can do, not sure how hard it would be to set up, but if it's possible, I want you to play it as well!
thank you!!!!
update...?
Been really busy with the day job. I'll try and collate all this stuff and have a real talk with the lead dev next week. Hopefully get an update for you soon.
thank you so much!
+1 for a Mac version. Enjoyed the demo!
Thank you!
