'The Lawless Frontier' Free Expansion in Development

A new free expansion is now under development for WESTSLINGERS! The aim of the update is provide a separate Free Roam experience from the original Linear Campaign that provides less structured but with more depth and longer open-ended playtime. By starting a gang in the Free Roam playstyle, your gang leader will move to a permanent encampment after the first mission. It will act as a central hub that allows to travel to different towns. You will also be able to improve the camp with buildings.

Free Roaming

• Visit the towns as the gang leader outside of missions

• Discover various missions through NPCs in town

• Towns repopulate to provide a different challenge for the next mission

Permanent Encampment

• Improve your camp with prefab buildings that affect the meta game

• Defend against Indian and rival gang raids

Meta Gameplay

• Persistent gang member states like wounds and bounty

• Resistance in each town increases based on your gang's notoriety

These are some of the more concrete ideas in progress. As the development continues and the design experiments become fun, I will update the official thread with a lot more detail on what will definitely make it into the expansion. Development will likely take many months, but I would be more than happy to provide early access once stable enough to play. Thanks for tuning in. Happy Wednesday!
