To celebrate, Western Press is on sale along with the rest of their catalogue. Check out their publisher sale page for all the details - https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/fellowtraveller. Here’s some more from the team at Fellow Traveller on what the change is all about: For the past seven years, our journey as a small indie publisher from the shores of Australia has been quite momentous. Today marks the biggest stop on that journey so far. A new name. A new vision. A chance for us to stand up and declare our love for games with something important, something special, something weird to say. Welcome to Fellow Traveller. From the dystopian worlds of Hacknet and Orwell, to our upcomin…

Hey everyone! Just put up an update that addresses a few things players have mentioned or requested in the forums. Let us know what you think!

- Readability Fix! - 5 December 2016
Hi all! We had a number of complaints both in reviews and via email about the readability of our choice of font for typists. As a result, we've swapped it out with something we hope is a bit quicker to get a read on! Let us know what you think! As always, if you're having any issues with the game, e.g. latency in your controller/keyboard, games stopping etc., get in touch via email and we'll get it sorted for you! You can email us directly here: [email protected] P.S. Both the word in the screenshot above and in the keyboard screenshot replacement on the store page were both entirely randomly selected by the game. Maybe it, too, yearned to be understood more easily?

- Omegathon and Native Input (1.3.0 Update) - 2 December 2016
Howdy all! We were very excited to have Western Press featured as round 3 of PAX Australia's Omegathon! It's always fun to watch people leap around on dance mats, and Omegathon was no exception. So thanks very much to all the contestants, and of course PAX themselves! We've brought the game and accompanying dance mats to a number of events this year, and people seem to have a blast playing the game this way. As a result, we've just pushed a patch live that changes the way Western Press detects and polls devices. What this means is that it's now much easier (and more reliable) to get new devices running in the game. So if you have a PC dance mat (or controller) that the game doesn't get along with, send us an email to [email protected] and we should be able to get it working! Finally, don't forget that Western Press supports custom characters and environments via Steam Workshop!…

- Introducing - The Heavy! - 7 July 2016
Duelists! We're excited to release a very special piece of DLC today. Working with our friends at Valve, The Heavy from Team Fortress 2 is now an official part of the Western Press line up! The best news is, the DLC is 100% free! The update is now live, so click here to find the download link, and everyone's favourite sandvich-eating, chaingun toting Heavy will be available in your character roster. The Heavy has found himself 2Far west of 2Fort. Armed only with a minigun and a (never ending) ‘sandvich’, his only way back to the war on BLU is through the cowfolk he’s surrounded by. Fully animated by Western Press developer Bandit-1, the Heavy character comes with his iconic minigun, trusty sandvich, and is loaded with both TF2 quotes and sound effects. See you on the frontier, and don't forget, the dual always abides!

- Shoot Quickly! (1.2.3 Update) - 4 July 2016
Hey all! Just a little update containing some alternate shoots. Huckleberry, Sharon and everyone's favourite, Ping now have a shoot alternative! (Though it's just a shorter version of their longer version.) Be sure keep an eye out on Thursday, because we've got a little treat coming! 1.2.3 Changelog Fixed issue where characters with long death or shoot sounds in the Grand Final would have their volume turned back up before it was complete. Added additional shoot animations/sounds for Huckleberry, Ping and Sharon.

- Keyboarded! (1.2.2) - 8 June 2016
Howdy gang! We've just updated the game with a number of improvements for keyboard users! (And a number of bug fixes for all users.) If you've had the itch to use the breadth of your alphabetical keys, games can now be played in either 'Word' or 'Gibberish' mode with a keyboard (in addition to the previous 'Directions' mode). 'Word' mode gives the player a ten letter word to type out as quickly as they can. Selected from over 20,000 random words, you can increase your vocabulary, learn to type ten letter words faster, and shoot an opponent, all in the one game! 'Gibberish' mode gives the player ten random letters. Though, just like infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters, we can't guarantee these won't result in real-life words. The cosmos might formulate a legible locution from this chaos, and for that, we take no responsibility. Though we are sorry you saw words in your gibberish!…

- Animation (and Sound) Variants and the 1.0.6 Update - 6 May 2016
Hi all! A new patch is up that fixes a few things and adds some other things. One of which is character animation and sound variations! Characters now support variants of each animation type. So you can make 50 different shoot animations, with 50 different soundscapes (provided you're within the 5 megabyte file size limit) and one will be selected randomly each time your character skins their smoke wagon! We've fashioned a quick guide to explain how to utilise this, check that out here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679243918 The rest of the aforementioned things are listed below: 1.0.6 Changelog Added non-Photoshop card templates to Western Press/workshop/templates/card/. Added a target framerate (60). This should stop computers sounding like they're taking off while running the game without VSync on. (It will likely run higher than 60, but try its little heart…

- First Update, Workshop Tutorial & PJ Saltan highlights! - 29 April 2016
http://i.imgur.com/S57hI0H.jpg Howdy Folks! The launch of Western Press has been a long and crazy adventure. Less than 24 hours after the game was live on Steam, the lovely folks over at Twitch were featuring it during their insane PJ Saltan of Stream comp, live at PAX East in Boston. Over 30,000 people tuned in to see the saltiest competitors in Twitch history battle it out, culminating in a hilarious dance mats only tournament. With Melbourne-based streamer DYoshiiTV taking out the first Western Press tournament, maybe the fastest hands in the west are all down under? You can check out the highlights below: https://www.twitch.tv/twitch/v/62225803 Alongside the awesome Twitch event, we also had a great couple of videos come from YouTube creator iHasCupquake, which are both fun to watch, and show off the fun and excitement of Western Press! Check them out here: https://youtu.be/8PvP1BH5…
