Summer 2026 Update

We have a nice big update that fixes a few things and some important engine updates.

Enemies

• Cowboys now aggressively chase the player down and engage from much further away — and no longer get stuck, jitter, or stand idle during combat.

• Sheriffs are smarter — they hold their ground at range, back off if you get too close, and react faster.

• Enemies now react when hit, staggering sideways before continuing their attack (fixed enemies spinning when shot).

• Enemies across the map now alert each other when a fight starts.

• Enemies hold their line until the raid kicks off: they ignore you until you fire your gun, break a breakable object, or strike an NPC — only then do they hunt you down.

Townsfolk

• Townsfolk now flee more reliably and navigate around walls when running from the player.

• Fixed townsfolk freezing against walls when cornered.

Player

• Manual reload added — reload your revolver at any time without emptying it first.

• Reloading mid-cylinder only uses the bullets you actually need from your reserves.

• You can now move while crouching.

• Decreased jump cooldown to 0.1 seconds.

NPC Spawning

• NPCs now spawn at random open spots across a town chunk instead of clumping in the center.

• Spawns avoid buildings, objects, and other NPCs, and always land on walkable ground.

• Fixed NPCs being silently dropped when space was tight — the intended population now reliably appears.

• First town can now roll 1–2 cowboys (previously always 1) and 0–2 townsfolk.

Bosses (Giant Rat & Giant Snake)

• Bosses now relentlessly chase the player instead of wandering off when you back away.

• Boss move speed is set just below your sprint speed, keeping them a constant threat.

• Boss attack range scales with body size so big bosses can actually land hits.

• Giants are now immovable — bullets no longer shove or slide them backwards, though hits still register and deal damage.

Menus & UI

• Fixed button highlights staying white after moving the mouse away.

• Fixed various menu navigation issues when switching between panels.

• Fixed the post-processing toggle behaving erratically in the options menu.

Post-Processing

• Fixed PSX visual effects (fog, CRT, dithering, pixelation) not applying correctly after an engine update.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash when returning to the main menu and starting a new game.
