- Wyoming Winter 1.13 Beta Testing! - 7 September 2025
Hello!It has been a while, sorry for the wait. I've been able to get a lot more work done on 1.13 in recent months and with that being said it is in quite a nice state and I think ready for testing!I am looking for beta testers to try 1.13 and report any bugs they find and give any suggestions they have.If you think you'd make a good beta tester then fill in your email and Steam account URL at this form here.I'll be handing out beta test keys instantly and continue to do so until the production version is released. The new version comes with editable game configs for a custom game experience, vending machines which allow players to purchase items with money gained from tasks, a 2nd floor expansion to the main map and more!Some features such as the vending machines are still limited for example there are only 9 items currently in the game so keep this in mind.As a little bonus accepted b…
- Development Update #4 - Backend Upgrades - 23 February 2025
Hello, I hope everyone has had a great start to the year. I said Wyoming Winter v1.13 would be out some time in February however I have decided to put a lot more effort into refactoring this update. I am upgrading the Unity version Wyoming Winter uses from 2022 to Unity 6 LTS. This will bring Wyoming Winter's back end up to date with the newest Unity features and hopefully allow for some cool things to be done as well as allowing me to utilize new multiplayer development tools. I am also fundamentally chaning the way the game is structured as the current structure is getting messy and convoluted due to lack of forwards thinking early on in the game's development life where I thought I'd be working on it for no more than 6 months. This restructure is going to take time but will result in absoloutely massive productivity gains and speed ups in development. It will also hopefully allow for…
- Deprecating ValleyHoundUK's X/Twitter account - 6 January 2025
Hello, The @ValleyHoundUK official X/Twitter account will no longer be updated with new posts / content. The platform and it's owners hold very public positions recently public interference with UK politics that I can't indirectly condone by maintaing a presence on the platform. As an alternative see the ValleyHoundUK blue sky account at https://bsky.app/profile/valleyhounduk.bsky.social Hope everyone had a lovely new years, look forward to development post 4 coming soon. Cheers, ValleyHound
- Merry Christmas! - 25 December 2024
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone has had a great year and is now enjoying some down time & christmas pudding. I was hoping to have 1.13 released by December 9th which was Wyoming Winter's 2nd birthday on Steam however I have a lot of other work to be doing which has slowed progress so it is looking more like a January release date just like 1.12 which released this past January. Going into the new year and looking at future updates I think I will attempt to cut down on the amount of work I am doing in each update to get them out more frequently as these yearly updates are a bit far between. Anyway I hope everyone is looking forward to 1.13, lots of new content and areas to explore. Once again I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year :) Cheers, ValleyHound
- Development Update #3 - Vending Machine - 16 November 2024
Hello, This is the third development update, still regarding the up coming 1.13 update. Vending machines I've been working on the new vending machine system I talked about at the end of my last development post and it's now implemented fully into the unreleased 1.13 version of the game. When you complete tasks you are now rewareded with an amount of cash based on how challenging (read : how exposed you are while completing and how long the task takes). This cash can then be used to purcahse items from vending machines which are scattered around the map. The vending machines have the same items for all players however one player purchasing an item and subsequently not being able to rebuy that item for the rest of the round does not mean that other players can't purchase that item although this is something I am going to be messing around with. In the picture bellow you can see what vendi…
- Development Update #2 - The office upstairs - 10 September 2024
Hello, This is the second development update, still relating to the up coming 1.13 update. Upstairs Work recently has been going into fleshing out a second floor to the (currently only) office map. There is stair wells located throughout the exterior corridors of the map that lead into the 2nd floor of the office along with vents that allow players to navigate from upstairs to downstairs discreetly. This step of fleshing out an upstairs is taking more time than anticipated as I want each room to be unique but I am at the same time running out of rooms that would make sense in the given setting without repetition, I am considering making the floor space upstairs smaller than downstairs. See below a room from the 2nd floor called command. This is where the site director would be giving commands from were they still alive. Organisation Work has also been given to reorganising things behind…
- Development Update #1 - 1.13 is coming - 16 July 2024
TLDR - Work has been started on 1.13 and I hope to have it released in the coming months, it will bring a new map and remove a lot of tech debt from the code base which will allow me to develop new features faster. Hello! This is the first development update I'm going to post about Wyoming Winter, I plan to do these semi regularly. Work has started on version 1.13, my plan with this version is to remove a lot of tech debt that is currently stopping me from developing features that I think would help the game immensely and by doing so add a new map to acompany the current office map. This update will take some time to finish I estimate around two months to develop, test and release but afterwards should lead the way to more frequent and higher quality updates. I'll be fixing some issues in this update as well such as the jump movement tech that allows players to travel at immense speed a…
