Update 0.23 : Meet Jody

Greetings, Outlaws!

We are excited to share that Jody is now ready to join your journey into the wild west in Bounty of One. It took some time to get it right as she brings a totally new playstyle into the game as it's the complete opposite of our "shooting while standing still" core mechanic.

Thank you for taking the time to test her out and helping us settle on her weapon’s passive (just don't tell the Undertaker 😉). We hope everyone enjoys playing with Jody as much as we do!

Also got some new items, achievements, and more for you to explore so load your guns & saddle up as we get into UPDATE 0.23.

Jody’s Story:

Jody, like many young dwarfs of her time, was thrust into the midst of the chaotic and senseless conflict known as the Dwarven Wars. Amidst the horrors and bloodshed, she earned the moniker "Red Scorpion" for her ruthlessness on the battlefield and her striking red braid. When the war finally came to an end, Jody made a solemn vow never to wield a weapon again and fully dedicated herself to medicine.

Determined to leave the path of violence behind, Jody settled in the tranquil town of Greenhill. There, she established a humble doctor's office, using her newfound skills to heal both the townsfolk and the scars of her own past. Within the tranquility of Greenhill, Jody found serenity and even developed a quiet infatuation with the mustachioed, law-abiding sheriff. Unfortunately, everything changed when the malevolent Undertaker seized control of the town and seemingly eliminated the sheriff. Fueled by a thirst for justice and a desire to reclaim the serenity she had fought so hard to attain, Jody took up arms once more as the Red Scorpion. Ever since, she has led the resistance in a relentless battle against the Undertaker's oppressive rule, fighting not for glory, but for the restoration of peace and the salvation of her cherished town.

We have also added some goodies that you will enjoy. We added 3 new achievements and a new item to be discovered in the game Tumbleweed.

➤ Before we say goodbye we have a cool thing to share with you: we are doing a contest between items in the game, so remember to vote for your favorite item.
