Howdy, Outlaws! Weve got some exciting updates in store for you today, and a big surprise at the end, so stick around! First up, were introducing four brand new items to Bounty of One that we believe will shake things up and give you more options to interact with the Pierce mechanic. Heres a breakdown of whats new:

Frozen Bouncy Ball
Gain 1 bounce for every pierce you have, and gain 1 pierce.
Jackhammer Charges
Gain 5% damage for every pierce you have, and gain 1 pierce.
Bullet Spear
Gain 1 dash slot for every pierce you have, and gain 1 pierce.

We noticed a lack of interaction with pierce in the current game, so these items aim to give you more ways to use this underappreciated stat. Finally, an item returning from the beta that some of you might recognize:

Reckless Abandon
When you take damage, reduce your maximum Health by the amount of damage you should have taken and gain +5% damage per max health lost.

This ones been a long time comingwe werent happy with its state during the beta, but after some tuning, its ready to go live. Weve also made various balancing changes across several other objects in the game. You can find the full details in the patch notes.

In case you missed it, the mobile version of Bounty of One is now available! Perfect for those quick games on the go.

And now, for the big news

Were thrilled to officially announce our next game: Hive Blight!

"Panic in the Mines" is here!

Hello fellow outlaws! This is it! Our new DLC, "Panic in the Mines" is out! Get ready to face the depths of Greenhill! [previewyoutube=XKP0XQHPP2E;full][/previewyoutube] You can purchase the DLC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2900140/Bounty_of_One__Panic_in_the_Mines/

Here is what you can expect from the DLC:

The Undertaker and its minions have escaped thanks to his second in command, Denzel. It is up to you to pursue them in maze-like tunnels of the mines beneath Greenhill. Be careful though because there is a reason why the mines have been abandonned...

In the mines, your freedom of movement is limited. Be aware of the landslides and the goblin-driven minecarts!

Thankfully you're not alone in the pursuit of the Undertaker, a new band of heroes are joining your ranks:

"I created a monster, it's up to me to make sure it is put down! "Growing up, Elias was an average kid at most. He never showed any specific traits or indications that he was suited for magic. However, Elias was born with an iron will and a drive to work towards his goals, and above all, he loved magic. For years, he focused on his studies, and although he had no talent to begin with, slowly, he overcame the deeds of any of his peers. Where he only inspired disdain at first, he gained the respect of the magical community. Eventually, he made his way to the top and even became the magic advisor of the state for a while. To many, he had done the impossible; to him, he had reached his dream and longed for a new goal. After a brilliant career as a state magician, he decided to invest his talents in something else and became the head teacher of a famous magic school. Tutoring students brought him a happiness he had never yet felt. During that time, Elias met a peculiar young man, a diamond in the rough as you may say. The boy was simply incredible. Not only did he have more innate talent than any other Elias had seen, but the lad also had a drive to learn similar to his own. Truly, a potential beyond measure. For years, Elias taught the boy and watched him grow to become an unparalleled magic user. But something else had grown over time: an uneasiness that he felt when teaching the boy, an indescribable sinister feeling. And one day, the boy disappeared. Distraught by the vanishing of his pupil, Elias looked all over and eventually found the boy's magic laboratory. There, he found horrors beyond belief and the trace of a powerful necromancy spell. What horrors did Elias bring upon the world by teaching this youngling? He vowed on the spot to track the lad and bring him down if need be. After years of searching for his former student, Elias heard tales of a sinister presence that took over Greenhill, a necromancer so potent that no one dared face it, the Undertaker. There was no doubt in Elias's mind; it was him! Determined to face the consequences of his actions, Elias set out to Greenhill, ready to face whatever consequences awaited him." You might be wondering what item would be such a grandiose wizard and I am more than happy to answer that, Elias will be wielding the...

After moving for a while, you shoot a slow intagible projectile. Lightning hits a random enemy within its area every 0.5 seconds.

"Evil only exists to be destroyed!" Before coming to Greenhill, the Undertaker tried out his might on many small isolated communities, laying waste to them without leaving any trace. To the authorities, it always seemed to be natural disasters that shared no link between them. Indeed, there was no proof of any unusual activities and no one was ever left to testify otherwise. Until someone survived to tell the tale, Tara. However, once she told her story of a mighty Necromancer razing her little hamlet to the ground, no one believed it. It was indeed easier to believe that the story she told stemmed from the traumatizing disaster she had been through. For a while, she pleaded with the authorities but was only ever met with disbelief until she decided to take matters into her own hands. She vowed to use whatever means necessary to get revenge on the Undertaker, whatever the consequences. Around this time, while she was alone at night, she suddenly heard it, a guttural voice stemming from the dark: I can give you the power you need - it said. Blinded by her desire for revenge, she nodded and a contract seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Sign it! - said the voice with authority. Tara held up the paper in hesitation. Sign! - hurled the voice; and she did. Suddenly the contract raised itself up in the air and changed into a very peculiar weapon, a pistol unlike any she had ever seen. Feed me! - said the voice from behind her with a renewed intensity, as if it now had corporeal form. When she turned around she saw it, a small but quite corpulent demon was there, right in front of her eyes - Feed me. With this new weapon, Tara is now searching for the Undertaker to exact her revenge and with every minion she gets rid off, she gets stronger alongside her demon. Here is a look at what her weapon does:

Summons a small flying demon. Each time your team collects 25 coins, when you stop moving, it shoots a huge beam at the closest enemy, it deals 3 times your damage to enemies it goes through.

"..." Chaos is a very mysterious being, little is known as to how it came to be. The only thing we know for sure is that he appeared around the same time that the Undertaker came to Greenhill. It is stipulated that, when he took over, the Undertaker resorted to such extreme atrocity against the previous criminal rulers of the underworld of Greenhill that he inadvertently created an amalgam of the remnants of their souls. This cluster of anger and regret eventually gave birth to the entity known as Chaos. Chaos only exists to bring down the Undertaker and, though the other heroes are hesitant to work alongside this entity, it seems useful in this endeavor for now. Now let's see what his objects allows him to do:

-Objects in chest can't be identified. You gain a chest for every 7 level you've gained.- Chaos's gameplay suits his name perfectly, you'll never be able to tell which object you're choosing, you only have access to the information on the object's rarity. To compensate, you'll get access to even more chest within a run.

That's not all, those new heroes came packing a big ne arsenal for you to try. 30 objects are added to the game, It should help to get through the mines!

Moreover, we've added 17 new achievements for you to overcome and conquer! Get ready!

Additionally, we wanted to share our appreciation for all the support we got since we made Bounty of One available to the public. Therefore, on the release date of "Bounty of One: Panic in the Mines", an additional character, free for everyone, will be added to the game.

"There is no shame in thinking small." Inheritor of Greenhill's only Inn, Ernesto was hoping to live a quiet and simple life but the arrival of the Undertaker made it impossible. He has now joined the rebellion against the necromancer and wants to bring him down and go back to his former life. Check the patchnotes to read his backstory and check his object. In addition to all the new stuff listed before, we have, as per usual, updated a few things in the main game and reset the leaderboard. Check out the full patch below! I hope you enjoy all the new things we've added!

Patch note:

New Character :

Ernesto is a simple man, he never wished for wealth or power nor did he wish for the thrill of adventure, all he ever wanted was to live a quiet life in the quiet little town he was born in, Greenhill. From his father he inherited the Emerald Goblet, the towns modest inn. The place was nothing special and Ernesto was neither a great cook nor a great host but there was only one inn in town so clients would come in regularly and Ernesto could make ends meet without trouble. For years, it seems that his ideal would never falter and that, outside of some hot-headed troublemakers every now and then, he could live out a peaceful life without any trouble. However, the situation changed for the worst when the Undertaker took over Greenhill. If the status quo had remained, Ernesto would have happily stayed put and changed nothing of his day-to-day life however, with the Undertaker came his minions and they scared the inn empty and refused to pay for their bill, threatening violence instead. In these conditions, it was clear that Ernesto would never get the quiet life he longs for. Determined to get it back, he enlisted under Jodys rebellion against the Undertaker and became its official cook and intendant. Ernesto start with "Onion" which has gotten a big buff to become a legendary (see below) To unlock Ernesto [spoiler]youll have to kill 500 enemies with Onion object (This work retroactively if you already killed that many enemies with Onion in previous Bounty of One version)[/spoiler]

Cast Member Showcase : Tara

Panic in the Mines DLC Release Date And Elias the Archmage

Hey there fellow outlaws, You might have wondered about when the DLC of Bounty of One would be release and I am happy to let you know that it will do so fairly soon!

Indeed, you can expect the release on the 21st of June!!!

Until then we thought it would make sense to talk a little bit more about the cast so without further ado, let's start with...

"Growing up, Elias was an average kid at most. He never showed any specific traits or indications that he was suited for magic. However, Elias was born with an iron will and a drive to work towards his goals, and above all, he loved magic.

Listening to the community

Hello fellow outlaws, We got a ton of great feedback on our last post concerning the Ludeo update and we wanted to assure you that we hear you loud and clear. To that weve decided to postpone the implementation of Ludeo for now. Check the previous announcement if you dont know what were referring to : https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1968730/view/7951737850169338558?l=french

We changed the beta branch version back in order to exclude Ludeo from it.

Be that as it may, regarding how Ludeo works and what information they have access to, I wanted to clarify an additional point that might still be blurry: Ludeo is integrated on our side. This means that we, the game devs, are the ones who control what information is gathered about your game session when you use Ludeo and that is why we can say with confidence that they only have access to information about your current game such as inputs (whether you went up, down, left or right on the map), you characters and the enemies's stats and positions, the upgrade and object choice youve made (your inventory per say), the reroll you used and nothing else. Again, remember also that, in any case, that information would only be sent if you actively interacted with Ludeo's website plateform (that is if you decide to login into their wite and willingly play and create Ludeo yourself). To explain the Ludeo process further in a matter that is familiar to gaming, think of sharing a save file with a friend. Say you play a game with a save system, you've saved just before a fun encounter with a Boss and you want your friend to experience it as well. You could technically go to the save folder of your game, find the specific save and send it to your friend. If your friend then puts it in his save folder for the game, he will be able to play the same exact situation. Ludeo does pretty much the same except it automatises the whole process, allows you to gamify the content by adding objectives and leaderboards and it shares it with all its community If you want additional information on Ludeo, I have copied the FAQ from our previous announcement on the bottom of this one. From our point of view, we know that Ludeo is a trustworthy company and we believe that it has great potential. However, that doesnt mean that your worries were not legitimate. I believe we were so convinced that you, our players, would like the concept as well as we do that we failed to look at the bigger picture and see how adding such a feature out of the blue without proper prior communication could be perceived. As we say in french, we had our head in the handlebar (la tte dans le guidon). We apologize if it seems like we were forcing you to use a feature you were not comfortable with, it was never our intention, far from it. To us, our players voices are the most important thing and it must remain that way. Please remember that were a small young company and still new to the industry, were bound to make mistakes but I can assure you, we learn from them big time and this one was humbling. We will actively work on our communication in general and make sure we include you more in the direction our games take in the future. On their side, Ludeo was as surprised as us at the negative reaction generated by the update. They are appreciative to you though, thanks to your comments they realized they have work to do on building trust with the gaming community and are already on it! Theyre building a new website and updating information online to best represent what they do so this confusion doesnt happen again. You should also hear from them pretty soon and I hope they will be able to sooth your worries. If some of you want to give Ludeo a try, we will keep a private branch named Ludeo - community - playtest so you have that possibility. However, please remember that if you dont want anything to do with the feature, you can just ignore it by playing on the main and public beta branch where Ludeo is not integrated. To access it, go to Bounty of One Seetings on Steam, go to the beta tab and type "ludeoplaytest" in the text box, you should then be able to select the branch from the drop down menu. Weve taken the opportunity of this announcement to push a few balancing updates while we were at it. You can check the changes in the - small - patch below. We will get back to you soon regarding what were working on at the moment!

Again, sorry for the confusion surrounding Ludeos feature and we hope youll keep enjoying Bounty of One nevertheless.

Patch note:

Balancing :

Bowgun now take 1.5 -> 2.25 more time before being completely depleted when moving
Machine learning : Everytime you kill 30 ->20 enemies gain +1% crit chance. You lose 50% of the buff when you take damage.
Surprise Attack : Whenever you dash gain +100% crit chance for 1.5 -> 2.5 seconds. Gain 1 dash.

Bug Fixes :

Fixed a bug where you could in specific cases get hit between your dashes with Steamboots
Lucky star now have an extra second of invulnerability once the bonus goes off

LUDEO FAQ

- What is Ludeo? -

At its heart, Ludeo is a game discovery platform. You want to see and share the best parts of the game? Ludeo can help with that. Basically the goal of Ludeo is this: You love a specific game and had a great moment of gameplay - Ludeo lets you share it on their platform so your friends can enjoy that same awesome moment for themselves - and maybe do what you did but better! Ludeo is a young startup company. Their sites were built pretty early so the information you'll find online is outdated. Theyve let us know theyre building a new website and cleaning up their old ones so that it better represent what and who they are. Since then they started, they've built some extremely impressive tech, and theyre now ramping up with multiple game integrations in addition to Bounty of One. Bounty of One is one of the very first games on the platform. Eventually, the goal is for thousands of games to be Ludeo enabled so that players can share and play tons of games they might not have otherwise seen. But again - theyre still in their very early stages.

- Do I have to download Ludeo to play Bounty of One? -

Ludeo isn't a downloadable feature, it's not stored locally on your computer. While signing in with Steam is required to create Ludeos, if you only want to play Bounty of One Ludeos then there is no sign in required. Ludeo is there for you if you want to use it but it is completely optional, that's why it is limited to the beta branch. If you don't want it, you can just play the game as you usually would - it's up to you!

- What information is Ludeo collecting? -

In order to enable Ludeo for Bounty of One players, Ludeo processes ONLY data which is within the Bounty of One game - that is to say, the data points that dictate your current damage, your attack speed, the object or upgrade choices you made, whether or not you dash... With those gameplay data points recorded, Ludeo is then able to send that data to people who want to play the Ludeo experience that you created. Ludeo does not process nor collect any personal information of Bounty of One users. They do not have access nor the ability to get any data which is not in the Bounty of One game instance. The only information they will get from you is your username if you login onto their website with your steam account.

- Gameplay recording - how is it done? -

Ludeo records the gameplay inputs (attack damage, upgrade choices, dashes, etc.), and then the game client on the user side reads those game inputs and then creates a video, essentially recreating the gameplay you just played but in video form. That way theyre not storing huge video files on their side either. Its not a perfect analogy, but think of it like youre a chef cooking a killer meal. If you want someone else to cook the same meal, do you send them a video of you chopping vegatables? No, that would be pretty inefficient and more than a little weird. You send them the recipe! Ludeo strips data points about your gameplay down to make a recipe for another players game client to rebuild. And just to say it all out loud so were all clear: Ludeo only records your gameplay session. Ludeo doesn't record other tabs (or anything other than the gameplay for that matter) and is completely inactive if Bounty of One/the Ludeo enabled game is closed and if youre on the games main branch and not the public beta branch. Also, for the record - Ludeo is not recording images or videos like a screengrab - as discussed above, theyre recording the gameplay inputs, etc.

- Is this an esports thing? -

No, not really - though theoretically Ludeo could be used to train in specific parts of a game? But to that end its probably more useful for speedrunning than esports.

- Is this an AI thing? -

No, not really - I mean technically later there could be some gameplay AI used (think MP bots), but not AI like a hey make me a video of Will Smith eating too much spaghetti.

- Is this a metaverse thing? -

Nope.

- Is this an NFT thing? -

Absolutely not.

Bounty of One x Ludeo integration!

Hey fellow outlaws!

It's been a while an you might be wondering what we've been up to! I am here to answer such question. For one, we have a few things brewing in the background and we hope to be able to share them with you very soon but also, we been working hard on the implementation of a new feature. Have you ever looked at someone else's gameplay and thought to yourself: "Damn, I can do this WAY better!"? Or phew, that looked like a fun situation to be in? Let me introduce you to: [previewyoutube=q-QmYynibsY;full][/previewyoutube] In short, it is like making a short video via Instant Replay, but instead of just watching that gameplay bit or sharing it as video - with Ludeo, you can play that exact bit.

Bounty of One Full Release

Hello fellow Outlaws! This is it! The final moment has come! Bounty of One is out of Early Access! As always, Id like to start by thanking all of you out there! Being able to come this far would not have been possible without you continued support! It is your achievement as much as it is ours! We never thought we would be able to come this far, it is only our second game to be fair and, after all, we came all the way from this
To this
Now lets start with the juicy bit of todays announcement: Whats new in the game on release? For those who joined the public beta version, you might already be familiar with some of those but, for the others, let me tell you what you can expect! First, we rebuilt the way the Super Black Market works in the game. As many of you requested, you will now be able to use the Super Black Market without being locked out unlocking achievements and posting highscores! To make the SBM somewhat balanced however, we changed some of the perks it gives you (check out the changes within the content section) and, most importantly, we created a real challenge for you to overcome: The Necromancers Pact!
The release officially introduces the Necromancers Pact, a cursed piece of paper that will allow you to skyrocket the infamy level up to 50 (instead of the previous maximum of 18). Up to infamy level 10 your progression in the game is similar than it previously was(though level 10 is now effectively as hard as level 18 used to be). From then on out, however, youll be able to choose your difficulty by allowing points in the pact, you create your own challenge with thing as crazy as Enemies projectiles now bounce up to 2 times on the side of the screen'' or Enemies life increases by 150% every time you kill a sheriff. Get ready for a challenge!
Secondly, for those who havent seen her yet, Ruthless Ruth charges into the deserted lands surrounding Greenhills and her loyal children follow in her footsteps, the Bully Brawlers! Get ready for an epic fight!
Thirdly, we added three new tabs in the encyclopedia! For those who like lore, youll be able to learn about each enemys type in the game as well as read the backstory of each character. The last tab is the credits, cant release without a proper credit menu :)
Fourthly, we also added 3 new languages: Korean, Japanese and Spanish. We also updated all the languages that were already available. We did our best to try and translate all of them properly but we can only do so much, we are not polyglots unfortunately. If youd like to help us improve the translations or even just share your feedbacks and ideas, feel free to join our discord and reach out directly to us! We welcome any help!
We also made the game for Linux and Mac. Finally, we also added 3 new objects and 14 new achievements. Discover them in the game or in the contents below! To wrap things up, as usual, we fixed some bugs, balanced a few things, improve some visuals and sounds, you know the drill. You can read the full patch note below. Again, thank you all for your support, we would not have been able to do this without you! To celebrate with you all, we organized a give away for you to take part in you can fin all the details here: https://gleam.io/bMmbC/bounty-of-one-launch-giveaway
We hope that youll keep following OptizOnion for our next projects to come! Enjoy!

Public Beta Update: Taking on the Necromancer's Pact

Hello Fellow Outlaws

First off, As always, thank you for all your feedback, they are incredibly important for us to move in the right direction! Second, We also want to give a big shout-out to the fearless players who faced the Necromancers Pact in the Private Beta. We applaud your bravery as you battled your way to higher infamy levels. As you might have read in our last news, Bounty of One's development is coming to an and we won't push the new updates on the main branch of the game until release (we want to make sure, everything is ready for it). You will however be able to test out the new things we've added on the public beta when we update it or even sooner if you decide to take part in the private beta. Be that as it may, if you wish to keep the surprise for the full release, here is a...

SPOILER ALERT

[spoiler]

The Necromancers Pact

Giving you more options to get stronger would not be fun without a challenge to overcome. Thats why we decided to revamp the Infamy system. Basically, from level 0 to 10, your experience will be similar to the current state of the game. After Infamy 10 is where the real fun begins however, from here on out, you will be introduced to the Necromancers Pact! In this menu, youll be able to choose the difficulty you inflict upon yourself and things will quickly get out of hand with some crazy run modifiers. Some examples may include: - Increase the number of foes trying to catch you by 30/60/100% - The drop rate of hearts is reduced by 50/75/90/95/100% - etc. Get ready to face Infamy difficulties well above the current level 18.

The New Super Black Market

Fist of all, The Super Black Market wont stand in your way of achieving these awesome achievements and scores in the game. To allow for that, we rebalanced it a bit since it previous version was a bit over the top otherwise, it will still be way stronger than the normal black market but not in a way that trivializes the game. Here are some modifiers that are included include: - Enemies have 5/10/15/20/25/30% chance of dropping coins twice - Mythic upgrades have a very low chance of appearing in level up choices. - etc. Dont worry, the new Super Black Market will have your back as soon as you clear Infamy 11. / Those two steps should allow for a more delightful experience overall. It doesnt trivialize the game, but it provides exciting challenges and lets high-score achievers show off their talents. [/spoiler]

How to join the public beta:

1 - You need to right-click on Bounty of One in your Steam library and select Properties.

2 - Go to the Betas tab.

3 - And choose the public-beta option from the drop-down menu.

But thats not all! We also have some amazing things planned for you in future updates. We are adding one more boss and many objects and features to Bounty of One soon. As well as some special events coming for you next month. Enjoy!

Dev talk : The last steps

Hello fellow outlaws!

Come, sit down next to the fire, let's talk for a bit.

As always, thanks for all your feedback, they are incredibly important for us to move in the right direction! Weve heard your voices regarding the recent update we made to the Super Black Market. and we are already working on changing it to fit your desires. But before I get into the specifics, let me start with another big news! The development of Bounty of One is slowly getting to its final state and its full release is drawing near. Therefore, Bumpty and I have been talking a lot and, given all the changes we still want to make and the content we wish to add, we decided to halt the updates until the full release. We will, however, still update the Beta branches once were happy with the upcoming features and, if you want to assist us in the final stages before the release, please play on the Beta branches and let us know what you think, again, your feedbacks are precious! Now lets get back to the main subject at hand: The problem with the Super Black Market as a Redemption option. As it stands, we understand that the way it works makes you feel like you're cheating at the game and that were locking you out of content as it doesnt allow you to either get achievement or post you highscore. We realize that we might have been too adamant in our game design decisions regarding that and weve since changed our minds.

We will change the Super Black Market and allow players to use it to gather both achievement and scores.

The way we will implement this change however requires two steps, let me get you through them. By the way, if you want the future content to remain a surprise on launch day, here is a

SPOILER ALERT

[spoiler]First thing first, step one. In its current state, the Super Black Market cannot just be available from the get go, it is just too absurdly crazy powerful (but again, it was originally intended as somewhat of a sandbox mode). Therefore, we will rebalance it a bit, it will still be way stronger than the normal black market but not in a way that trivializes the game. Here are some modifiers that it might include: - Start with an Epic chest if you kill a Boss in your previous run - Get up to 2 Banish Re-roll for objects - etc. Unlocking the Super Black Market will now also require you to beat Infamy at level 11 or higher. Step two, giving you more options to get stronger would not be fun without a challenge to overcome. Thats why we decided to revamp the Infamy system. Basically, from level 0 to 10, your experience will be similar to the current state of the game. After infamy 10 is where the real fun begins however, from here on out, you will be introduced to the Necromancers Pact!

In this menu, youll be able to choose the difficulty you inflict upon yourself and things will quickly get out of hand with some crazy run modifiers. Some examples may include: - Enemiess life improves by 25/50/75/100% when you kill a sheriff - Enemiess projectiles bounce 1/2 times on the side of the screen - etc. Get ready to face Infamy difficulties well above the current level 18. Thankfully, the new Super Black Market will be there to support your endeavor as soon as you beat infamy 11. Those two steps should theoretically allow for a more delightful experience overall. It doesnt trivialize the game, offers challenging experiences and allows highscore performers to shine and fully display their skills. For the upcoming weeks, this is what were working on but you can expect some other things in the near future, right Ruth?

- Yep! If she says so, it must be true. [/spoiler] Anyways, thats all we got for you today, let us know what you think in the comments! If you want to talk to us directly and share your feedback and ideas, dont hesitate to join our Discord, wed love to see you there! In the meantime, enjoy!

Update 0.24 : The new Super Black Market

Hello Fellow Outlaws!

We're back with another new update and you're in for a treat in this one! Before we dive into all the juicy details, we'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who's been testing the new objects in the BETA. Thanks to all your amazing feedback, they have been added to the main branch for everyone to enjoy. We know some of you are curious about why our updates are taking longer than usual. As we mentioned last week, we want to be able to test out new features a bit more before releasing them, and, therefore, updates will come every 3 weeks instead of our usual 2. You will however be given the chance to try out incoming features one week in advance on the Public Beta Branch. That way, we can collect your feedback and fine-tune the new features as precisely as we can. Now lets jump into the update. Another big change to the game is the Super Black Market, we understand that some of you have not understood our idea about it but no worries we hear you and we have received your feedback.

We understand that the upgrades seem underwhelming and some of them are very expensive while the benefit of them doesnt feel worth it. To give you some context the goal from the super black market was always to be somewhat of sandbox mode where you can fully break the limits of the game and have a relaxing run while allowing you to spend your leftover gold nuggets. We get that we might have been too shy with its perks. So, we have changed the bonuses, it will get wild really quick, as youll see and we hope youll enjoy it. We also still believe that achievements should remain something challenging for players and only achievable by those who want to work for them. The Super black market will still limit your ability to get achievements but I am sure you all can do it! By the way, were also resetting the leaderboard after every update from now on. This is your opportunity to start fresh and show off your skills in the game to earn your spot on the leaderboard. One last thing before you go, we have added a new tab on the Encyclopedia for upgrades, this should help you develop a better understanding of the game. We're also excited to share the BUILD SHOWCASE EVENT Every weekend for the rest of the month (July) you'll have the chance to create your dream build as we'll have the supermarket free of charge. It's your chance to go wild, have fun, and unleash your creativity with no limits! Share your builds on Discord and we'll and we'll feature the best ones!

Let us give you some inspiration to start this off in style. Check out the HYPERACTIVE build!

As usual, we fixed some bugs and balanced a few things. That's it for today, you can check the full patch note below. See you soon! Enjoy! [hr][/hr]

Public Beta Update - New Objects

Hello fellow outlaws!

Following the success of our beta update with Jody, we'd like to keep involving you in the game's development. Therefore, we will now do updates every three weeks but on the second week, the content will be available on the beta branch for you to try out and give us feedback on. In this beta update, we added a new selection of objects that can transform your experience. These items are not your typical weapons, but rather unique effects that can modify the way you shoot and deal damage. These items can make your shooting more fun, challenging, or unpredictable, depending on your preference. These items are:

Fan of Knives: When you stand still, for every 2 shots, you charge up 1 knife (up to a maximum of 15). When you move, you release all knives aiming at as many enemies.
Sharing is caring: Instead of aiming at the closest enemy, you alternate between the 5 closest enemies. Your projectiles are 50% slower but your attack speed is increased by 50%.
Fickle Bullets: Your projectiles have a random size and damage boost from -50% to +100%.
Swift Bullets: Your projectiles move between 30% and 70% faster.

Check out what they look like when you put them all together!

Thats not all, Outlaws! We have another exciting feature to share with you. We have added a new tab to the Encyclopedia in the game. You'll now be able to check out specific details on every upgrades in the game

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 weapons 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.

Jodys 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.

As usual, we fixed some bugs and balanced a few things. That's it for today, you can check the full patch note below. See you soon! Enjoy! [hr][/hr]

Public Beta Update - New Character : Jody

Hello fellow outlaws!

We have some good news and some bad news for you today. The good news is that a new character is joining the cast of Bounty of One. The bad news is that we feel like its weapon's concept is not quite there yet. Indeed, introducing this new character to Bounty of One has brought an interesting challenge: designing a weapon concept that breaks our core mechanic of shooting while standing still. This character will have the ability to shoot while on the move, adding a dynamic twist to the gameplay.

We've been iterating on the weapon concept and invite you to try it out on the public beta branch. Your feedback will help us refine and settle on the best version for the official update. Join us in shaping the future of Bounty of One!

To join the public beta:

1 - You need to right-click on Bounty of One in your Steam library and select Properties.

2 - Go to the Betas tab.

3 - And choose the public-beta option from the drop-down menu.

Major Update Version 0.22: Simple Tom!

May update? Oh my, it looks like were a little late on this one. But better late than never, right? Weve been hard at work over here, and we have so much to share! So without further delay, lets get to it! Aninteresting new update arrived today! Simple Tom is now ready to challenge you, as you may have seen on our Discord, thanks to (HairyLoco) for guessing the adjective linked to his name. Let uswelcome Tom as the newest sheriff in town, but he does not come alone. Let's also welcome his minions, the Armarauders! If you want to be sure to face him in a game, try the "Seed" "Tom" in the redemption options. [hr][/hr]
[hr][/hr] Let's learn more about those interesting individuals! In the vast desert expanse surrounding Green Hill, a notorious gang known as the "Armarauders" roams. This gang operates under a peculiar hierarchy based on an unusual measure of skill: the ability to roll the longest distance without succumbing to dizziness. Strangely enough, it is often the least intelligent members who rise to the top of this hierarchy. Approaching the Armarauders requires caution, for their lack of intelligence does not mean you should take them lightly. Their simplicity and straightforwardness make them remarkably resilient to magic and the Undertaker might have been taken aback when he tried to control them by force if it werent for an incredible twist of fate. Indeed, the Undertaker managed to seize control of the gang by besting their leader in a decisive "roll-off" ritual. It was discovered, according to the species' rare scripture, that rolling is defined by curling up and moving and the stratagem employed by the Undertaker to curl up onto his running horse was therefore deemed valid by the elders of the gang, granting the Undertaker an unexpected victory. Beware the Armarauders and their unique ways, for their unorthodox nature and unyielding spirit make them a formidable force in the desert. And some more on the incredibly simple Tom: Within the ranks of the Armarauders stands a formidable figure known as Tom. Tom has dedicated his life to mastering the art of rolling, honing his skills to near perfection and developing a remarkable resistance to dizziness and head traumas. He has become a true expert in the craft, earning the respect of his gang members. However, Tom's reign as the leader of the Armarauders came to an unexpected end when the Undertaker arrived and challenged him to a roll-off. Due to technicalities, the latter was indeed able to outmatch the rolling expert. Now under the Undertakers order, Tom was given an important role within the underworld of Greenhill, he was given the role of keeping would-be meddlers out of the valleys borders and proudly harbors the nickname that his boss lovely bestowed upon him: Simple Tom [hr][/hr] As always, we have also worked on small bug fixes and game balancing. That's it for today, but you can see a full list of changes below. Enjoy! [hr][/hr]
