HOWDY Folks!!!

To every gunslinger, pioneer, and supporter who joined us for Steam Next Fest...thank you!!!

​The dust is finally settling on an incredible week, and all of us at Nixalon Studios are absolutely floored by the reception to Western Rye. Whether you wishlisted the game, shared our posts, streamed your playthrough, or just took the demo for a spin, you have given us the fuel we need to keep pushing forward.

​Small Team, Huge Gratitude

​We’ll be honest: building Western Rye on a tight budget and a very limited schedule hasn't been easy. There were many late nights where we wondered if we could pull this off. But your belief in us...the way you've rallied around this project, has proven that a small, dedicated community is more powerful than a massive marketing budget. You are the reason this game is becoming a reality.

​The Trail is Still Open (For Now!)

​If you haven’t had a chance to set foot in the world of Western Rye yet, the clock is ticking!

  • ​Play the Demo: It will only remain available for a few more weeks.

  • ​Join our Discord: DISCORD – This is where we hang our hats. Come talk to us directly!

  • ​Give us your Feedback: We want your raw thoughts, suggestions, and wild ideas. To those who have already shared feedback: we have noted every single word. We are already working on improvements based directly on your experiences.

​The Horizon: Early Access Awaits

​What you’ve seen in the demo is truly just a small fraction of the world we are building. Our team is currently working "tight and fast" to polish the full experience for Early Access. We are pouring everything we have into making sure the final version of Western Rye exceeds your expectations.

​Thank you for riding with us. The best is yet to come.
