Howdy fellow gunslingers! It is finally here, Update 1.1 is now available on all platforms. It took much longer than expected, but thanks to the unstable branch many of you already got a taste of the new update. But even for those, I got some new stuff in the final release version of the update that you can get excited for. More on that later. [i]Why did it take so long?[/i] I am a solo developer working part-time on Colt Canyon and even after being done with the implementation-side of the update bug fixing and preparing for release takes a while, especially with the amount of different versions (platforms, consoles, lanuages etc) I have to get ready nowadays. But anyway, it's here now! If you enjoy the update please make sure to leave a positive review for Colt Canyon on the store page. [b][u]Changes with Update 1.1:[/u][/b] One of the bigger changes with this update is the melee overhaul! Throwables are no longer a one-time throw weapon that breaks randomly. Instead, they will modify your melee combat stats when equipped during melee combat. So they are more melee weapons now, and less exclusively throwables. They come with actual durability values with a dedicated indicator in the HUD. It is now also possible to attack more than one object with a single melee attack. No more breaking container groups one by one! Every melee weapon has their own melee stats that, next to modifying your melee damage, modify values such as melee range, cooldown, knockback or amount of targets. And once you get used to the new melee animations you will never want to go back to the previous melee system.

Whenever you start reloading your guns you will now be greeted by a progress bar indicating how much time reloading your gun will take. This is already pretty useful, but even better is the option to hit the reload button at the right time to boost the reloading speed. This will raise the skill ceiling of Colt Canyon further to allow players to master the game's mechanics even more. It's something that is not necessary in order to beat the game, but it will help those that do use it.

You can now also carry more ammo by default and the way shields work has changed. Instead of 4, you will now get to choose from 5 random upgrades per rescued prisoner. There is an indicator that signals you that a weapon on the ground is better than your equipped weapon. The crosshair was improved and gamepad got some dedicated cheats. There are also a whole bunch of tweaks, fixes and QoL improvements. And exclusively for PC we got some very basic modding/scripting support. More on that soon.
