It's been over four weeks since Rustler's official launch and coming out of Early Access. We've been working hard all this time to fix bugs and issues that you've reported. Thank you once again for your help and for taking the time to leave your feedback.
But that's not all! We've also added some new stuff to the base game and fixed a couple of issues.
Here's a changelog:
- There is a new mini-game called MurderFest, available in various parts of the game's world. Find them all!
- The pitchfork is now available as a new weapon. Many peasants use them too!
- Special horses needed to complete one of the side quests are now a bit easier to find!
- The time of the day will change from day to night, and from night to day every time you use a save house.
- If your save file got corrupted somehow, and it's not possible to recover it, you will see short information about it before the game launches. This mechanic also helps if you couldn't see any of the existing save files on the list.
- During specific mini-games, the stamina level will reset after each stage of the mini-game.
Here's a list of bugfixes:
