Message to the Pardners from the Devs:

Howdy pardners, playtest 3 is finally here!While we still have some more enemy classes coming down the pipeline and new exciting guns, I wanted to give the community a chance to trial some of the new animations that are likely to have lots of points of failure I haven't found yet.The game is turning out like an absolute dopamine cowboy fest, and I'm loving how it's playing so please let us know in the Discord what we can do to make this feel even better. The focus of this test should be on combat, gameplay progression and challenge balancing. Alt fires are very adjustable so do also let us know how your digging the new steel.As always, thank you for sticking along with us and being patient, we are going to be moving right into more of a content mindset over the next few months and continuously updating this playtest. We want to iterate with all the cowboy gunslingers who play our game, so don't be afraid to submit any feedback to the linked form in the build.Thanks Pardners-Jay
