It's out!!! Yeeeeee-HAAAAW!!!
;-D ;-D
I've been playing the goshdarn heck outa this here game tonight and a few comments so far:
Spoiler
* The photographer took the photo at the ranch gate with the camera pointed the wrong way.
* There is a massive slowdown in movement in the ranch's main yard ever since the rain happened. This is a bit annoying when doing the rain bucket fetch quest. Is the rain sprite still animating somewhere off-screen while visible? Maybe turn it invisible, stop it animating, or some other third thing?
* I found a text issue: "I've already already filled out the paperwork." when Cain is telling the ranch-hands that they get the ranch if he never comes back.
* The music is really loud in some places. Maybe turn it down by 30%-50%?
*The credits scene after the first chapter is done is really confusing. It might make the player think that the game is already over.
Apart from these slight issues I am loving this game!
Spoiler
The gameplay is a tad on the light side but the story is interesting enough to hold my attention.
I would have loved something similar but with more options to participate in the various towns, like hunting quests, gambling games, etc. but I realize as well that this ain't RDR 3.
Anyway, back to the game!

That one's down to me. I proofread my translation carefully, but it looks like that one slipped through the net! Glad you're enjoying the game.
Sorry about that, Mandle ! I didn't see the text mistake and the other problems you speak about don't appear when I try the game at home. But I'm happy you enjoy it :)

Well, I'm pretty sure the camera pointing the wrong way was because of someone not quite knowing how old-fashioned cameras work.

In the game the lens is pointed towards the "dwarf" taking the photo.
Also:
Spoiler
I'm playing the game in interpolated mode so I can read the text. Maybe this causes the ranch yard slowdown?
Yes, maybe. With the default configuration it doesn't seem to have this problem :-/
I've been playing for about 40 minutes and I will echo what Mandle has said:
- Graphics and music outstanding and stunning
- Story is pretty interesting
- So far I'm waiting for some puzzles. :) The game seems to basically do what you're told?
As far as my progress, I am up to
Spoiler
the photograph was just taken
Will keep enjoying it and comment...
Thank you very much ! :)
I played game number two in this series first, and really wish I had started with this one. The main strengths is the storytelling and the atmosphere. Graphics and music gave me a western feeling right away! For me, this is a western with fantasy elements, more than fantasy with a western setting.
Wendy is a well-written character, and I knew after playing the second chapter that I had to go back and play this one before embarking on the third. The tasks are easy (this is improved in the second chapter), and there's not much chance of getting stuck. The story have several twists, and that is one of the reasons I wish I had played this one first. ;) I enjoyed the game. Recommended for those who can enjoy a game for the story without many puzzles.
