- After 5 years... a major update saunters in through the batwing doors - 14 October 2020
After several years, a major patch has been released for Boot Hill Heroes that improves the game in several ways. This patch mostly carries over enhancements in the sequel, Boot Hill Bounties, but there are some interesting updates as well: Updated Menus and Interface: The cleaner, slicker interface from Boot Hill Bounties is here with more readable text and colors. Several sprites have been remade: Including the Weezler, Razor Paw, and most of the Saints-Little Gang. Food is able to be found or purchased as in Boot Hill Bounties: You can buy food from restaurants and eat it there or store it in your inventory for later. Food gives characters a variety of perks that will come in handy. Medical Kits can also be purchased: You can purchase Medical Kits from doctors in towns to heal wounds while on adventures. Updated Script: Some sections of the script have been rewritten, mostly dialogue…
- Corral Countdown 1: Boot Hill Bounties Now On Steam! - 22 December 2017
It's finally here! The long awaited sequel to Boot Hill Heroes is now available on Steam. Boot Hill Bounties takes everything that was great about Boot Hill Heroes and multiplies it by 10! Bronco County is on the brink of war. A conspiracy to provoke a conflict between the western settlers and the Chepakwik threatens to destroy both sides. Only Kid, Doc, Moon and Rosy know the truth. But to save their homes, they’ll have to hunt down five legendary outlaws whose very names strike fear into the hearts of men. Boot Hill Bounties continues the saga of Kid and his companions as they journey deeper into the darkest corners of the Wild West and come face to face with the evil Creed Little, Stampede Sally, Tuco Delgado, Scorpion Saint and Burning Crow. Boot Hill Bounties continues the story of Boot Hill Heroes, but Boot Hill Bounties was designed for new players to comfortably jump in without…

- Corral Countdown 2: Kickstarter Backers - 14 December 2017
With only one day left before release, it wasn’t easy to decide on what else to write about for the penultimate Corral Countdown. But there’s one element that has played a major role both in the development of Boot Hill Bounties as well as in the game itself. Boot Hill Heroes began as a Kickstarter project way back in May of 2012. If you can imagine, Kickstarter was still a relatively new phenomenon at the time and the campaign was very successful. The project garnered nearly 500 backers and about 100 of them pledged enough to have their own sprite in the game. Kickstarter Backers can be found all over Bronco County. They typically blend in with other non-player character residents, but occasionally stand out. Backer characters can interact with the player in a variety of ways: Give some relevant opinion about the plot that adds more context to the game Tell a joke or say something biza…

- Corral Countdown 3: 100% Completion - 13 December 2017
Welcome back to the Corral Countdown after our brief hiatus. Things are back in order and Boot Hill Bounties is set to go public on Steam this Friday, December 15. Steam keys have already been sent out to Kickstarter backers and a select group of journalists. But there are still a few things left I want people to know about the game, so the Corral Countdown continues. We’ve talked about so many things like learning recipes, upgrading your farm, gaining levels in hats, completing side quests. But, can you do all of these things? Can you get 100% completion? When you complete Boot Hill Bounties, your completion rate will be evaluated and you’ll be given a grade based on how much of the game you completed. It takes about 25 hours to complete the main storyline, but how long will it takes to get to 100% completion? And then, what happens when you do get 100% completion? Do you get a thumbs…

- Corral Countdown 4: Trailer Premiere #1 - The Saints-Little Gang - 1 December 2017
First things first, despite insisting on a December 1 release date, Boot Hill Bounties will have to be pushed back to December 15. The game is currently stuck in the approval process on Steam. Usually this takes a few days, but Steam is experiencing a high volume of submissions. This is my fault for taking too long getting the storefront assets together and submitting the game so late. This might be a good thing since it gives me more time to submit the game to review sites and build more hype for the game - things I haven’t spent as much time on as I would have liked. For those who were expecting the game December 1, I apologize for not delivering. Now the good news. We finally have a trailer for Boot Hill Bounties! The focus of the trailer is, of course, on the Saints-Little Gang, the titular “bounties” of Boot Hill Bounties. This is a game that focuses heavily on the villains and I o…

- Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements - 28 November 2017
Steam Achievements are special rewards for completing various game objectives, and Boot Hill Bounties has got 52 of them. Why 52? Because that’s how many cards are in a standard deck of playing cards (minus jokers). Playing cards are the motif for achievements in Boot Hill Bounties with a each suit representing a type of achievement. 3OfSpades Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements10OfSpades Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements7OfSpades Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements Spades – Spades achievements are awarded when defeating especially tough bosses. 4OfDiamonds Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements8OfDiamonds Corral Countdown 6: Steam AchievementsKOfDiamonds Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements Diamonds – Diamond achievements are earned when you reach certain milestones in the story. 3OfHearts Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievements7OfHearts Corral Countdown 6: Steam Achievemen…

- Corral Countdown 7: Mystery Eggs - 23 November 2017
One of my favorite things about video games are the mysteries left unsolved sometimes. Before Game Theory was making a dozen videos theorizing about the hidden lore of Five Nights of Freddy’s I was theorizing about the hidden meanings in Silent Hill 2. http://www.experimentalgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Boot-Hill-Bounties-2017-11-22-22-13-41-15.png So I wanted to make sure there were a lot of interesting mysteries teased in Boot Hill Bounties as well. Sometimes you can say more with a mystery than by explicitly explaining something. And while the main story is pretty straight forward, there are tons of hidden mysteries that the most observant player may pick up on. http://www.experimentalgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Boot-Hill-Bounties-2017-11-22-22-14-58-06.png I also love Easter Eggs in games.

- Corral Countdown 8: Puzzle Bosses - 23 November 2017
We all love a good boss fight full of dramatic near losses and exciting comebacks. As you would expect, Boot Hill Bounties features plenty of those. However, I also wanted to point out how there will be some unusual bosses that require unusual strategies to defeat. http://www.experimentalgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Boot-Hill-Bounties-2017-11-22-21-48-44-81.png Puzzle bosses are a great way to subvert expectations and present an unusual problem that the player must deal with. Strength alone cannot defeat these obstacles. A keen mind is required to find the solution. http://www.experimentalgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Boot-Hill-Bounties-2017-11-22-21-51-11-69.png Unfortunately, I can't show any more of these without spoiling more than I want to. So you'll just have to wait a little longer to play the game yourself!
