Hello again!
We’re back with another devlog today to talk about unlockable outfits. These outfit’s grant the player a unique effect as well as being visually distinct from the usual fit. When unlocked, you can easily swap between outfits before a run to see which one you prefer.
💀 The Outfits
For a black and white game, these outfits are the one outlier to the noir rule. Each has a vibrant color that will make it even easier for the player to stand out against the environment, as well as each being of a different design to the default cowboy aesthetic.
Red Musketeer
This dashing rogue grants you an extra heart at the start of each stage. All for one and one for all!
Orange Bounty Hunter
The bounty hunter is an expert guns handler who can regain spent ammunition by swiftly reloading a bullet when he dodge rolls. Save time instead of making a full reload, that one bullet can make all the difference!
Yellow Bandit
The yellow bandit increases your speed significantly - excellent for running circles around your opponents.
Green Knight
The armored green knight adds a melee attack during your dodge roll. When you get cornered, fight back!
Blue Wizard
This fun little spellcaster can ‘blink’ teleport a further distance, replacing the dodge roll.
Pink Ranger
The ranger, a mysterious hooded figure, gains a pet bird companion who assists in combat by attacking enemies for you.
💀 The Seamstress
The Seamstress, weaver of threads and creator of the outfits, is a beautiful lady who wears a blindfold across her eyes. She offers these wardrobe changes to you when you complete the corresponding challenge to each one.
The challenges for example could be to defeat a certain amount of enemies, or reach a specific stage and beat it’s boss.
Which is your favourite outfit? Let us know in the Undead West channel over in our discord, or over on Twitter where we post gameplay gifs and other updates.
💀 Upcoming Playtest
Over the next weekend (September 5 - September 9) we will be playtesting Undead West, along with another upcoming retro title - Janosik 2, an action platformer with metroidvania elements, inspired by the myths of the famed Slovakian highlander, Janosik himself. Check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1640400/Janosik_2/
