Howdy fellow gunslingers!
It took a bit longer than expected but it is finally here: Update 1.2 is now available! At least on Steam, GOG, PlayStation and Xbox. Switch and some other stores will need to wait until early next week. Not a lot of new content this time but a lot of balancing changes and of course the biggest new feature ever yet: [b]Quit and Continue![/b]
A savegame feature is something many have been waiting for, because depending on your playstyle a run can easily take more than an hour to complete. And some people just don't have this time. So, with this feature I am trying to better value your time and allow new players with less time on their hands to still enjoy the game to the fullest. Additionally the save feature will also allow another type of player to enjoy the game by cheating their way through the canyon. Good old save scumming. It's something that is very much possible, even though I did not implement a no-permadeath mode (yet?) but I am not giving any instructions right now. More on that in the [url=https://coltcanyon.fandom.com/wiki/Savegames]wiki[/url].

Additionally patch 1.2 also brings a lot of balancing changes, changes to shell weapons and of course a load of bug fixes. Oh, and yea, a lot of work was also done in the background, porting the game to the latest version of its engine, which is critical to keep supporting Colt Canyon in the future.
Oh, and one note to everyone who alread tested the unstable version: Other than expected Colt Canyon will stay a 32-bit application for now, as some functionality wouldn't have been supported in 64-bit. This does not impact anything really though. Just a side-note.
