• Final Lawless Frontier Update - 23 February 2018

  I regret to announce today that I will be ceasing development of the Lawless Frontier beta. It has become financially unfeasible for me to continue the development of the Lawless Frontier, and I must move on. If you have recently only purchased the game to play updates of the Lawless Frontier, I sincerely apologize and please ask Steam directly for any refunds. For v1.2.5, the Lawless Frontier is now moved to Experimental. I have fixed several outstanding bugs and updated the engine to the latest version. For those who stuck around for the free expansion, once again, I wish the sales was more favorable. Thank you all for support!

• The Lawless Frontier News - 11/01 - 2 November 2017

  https://media.giphy.com/media/xT4Ap4f4oTEEHVDhUQ/giphy.gif More progress on the free expansion development! The 3rd building type called the Workshop that allows you to lightly customize and mod your guns is in progress. You can tint and name your weapon and also add small mods like a hairline trigger. When you return to your hideout after a mission, you can now be raided by Indians, outlaw robbers, or Marshals. You must select up to 4 defenders to thwart the attack. Closed testing for the expansion will begin very soon, and I hope to release an open beta version by Thanksgiving. If you've only purchased the game recently and have already beaten the game, these updates are referring to a more open-ended free roam mode in development.

  The expansion is continuing development and will begin testing near the end of the month. I've added the 2nd building type called the Infirmary. The outlaws retain their wounds from previous missions and this building increases the speed these wounds heal between other missions. The Bank Heist mission archetype is also complete with the banks accruing money every day they are not robbed. Upcoming in development is the Workshop building type and Bounty Hunt mission type. Stay tuned for more news as I try to bring a beta version for you as soon as possible.

  Hey everyone! The in-game version of the gang screen is reworked into a dialog to fit along with the style of the other menus. The gang also now manages their own weapon inventory. Below is a screenshot for the building construction preview similar to what you see in RTS games. Each Quarters building increases the gang size limit by 4. You will be able to build up to 3 of these buildings. More details to come as I implement them. Thanks for your patience! https://i.imgur.com/5iIpWxp.png
