Buckle up - Undead West is here!
Hey everyone,
I'm koschei, developer of Undead West. I started working on this prototype project on December 10th 2022 in the Unity Engine with the intent to make a small pixel-art game with black and white visuals to finish in a couple of months, put on Steam and move on to the next. It became a side project I could only work on in my free time, until mid-way through 2023 when Retrovibe reached out to chat, and after pitching Undead West to them we agreed on a partnership and this became a full time effort!
I'm very happy that they did, and for all their support because now almost exactly 2 years from the project's first steps, Undead West is now available for all of you to play! It's been a long journey and as a solo developer I've had to wear a lot of hats - art, animation, programming, and learning things I've never done before (like putting in Steam achievements!).
When I look back at all the work that's been accomplished over the last 2 years, I'm very proud of this game. All the different enemies, bosses, environments, and wild western guns come together to make a charming roguelite, inspired by games like Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne. I've also been fortunate to have Australian music artist Voltz Supreme making all of the music, boss themes, and boss sound effects for the game - he's a very talented musician and just so brilliant at composing tracks that eminate the vibe of classic western movies.
After a closed playtest, open playtest, and the launch of the free Steam demo, We're excited to finally share the full game of Undead West with you today and we hope you enjoy!
Get ready for 6 stages, 20 guns, 15 whiskeys, 8 outfits, a wide variety of undead and not-so-undead enemies.
Thank you for your support, and keep watching this space for news of plans for the next
year ahead.
