The first update is live! It brings a gaggle of bugfixes and minor improvements, particularly for macOS and Linux, plus four new characters with their own unique modifiers.
- 'Red' Rosa Lee is your girl if you rely on Saloons for recruiting. As a fortune teller, she can also work in Saloons for extra gold.
- If you prefer to take the Governor's office by force, you might prefer Kitty Carstars. Raids & gunfights are her specialty!
- Sheriff Sanders is the new lawman in town; unlike other law-abiding characters you can play, he's particularly good at recruiting new deputies.
- and finally, Hardball Harry always wanted to join the army, but just couldn't stand the uniform. He gets extra dread when enlisting at forts, but unlike an ordinary soldier he can still outlaw it up when he wants.
That's all for now, but expect another (free, obviously) update to drop in a couple of weeks. I'm building that update around a handful of tricky new quests & associated starting perks. The current quests are all themed around various out-of-context political quotes, and the last few weeks of US politics has provided...fertile ground for some light satire.
The first post-release update for Governor of the West will bring four brand-new characters and three new attributes that change the way they play. They're not quite ready for prime-time yet -- I'm still making sure they're balanced! -- but they'll be part of the first update that should come out late next week.

Like turn-based games? In the north of England? Want to hang out with a room full of indie gamedevs play some demos?
If you answered 'yes!' to all three, then you should come say hi at the first-annual Odyssey Gaming Festival in Harrogate, England this weekend. Birdworks will be there showing off the pre-release version of Governor of the West, and giving away free copies to folks who come by. Show us that you've wishlisted Governor and we'll give you a Steam key for a free copy that you can use yourself to unlock the game once it comes out next week.
Look for this banner, and try your hand at becoming the governor in a sneak preview of the full game, a full week before it releases on Steam!

- Unlock Legendary Outlaws - Recruit from a motley crew of renegades, thieves, and outlaws. Each character has their own strengths and weakness, so you'll have to adapt your strategy based on who you find!
- Explore The West - Different settlements, resources, and wildlife populate the procedurally-generated map on which you'll find yourself. Every game is different, and success is not guaranteed.
- Race Against Time - You'll arrive in the West young & healthy, but time is not on your side. Keep a watch on your age, and make sure not to let your youth go to waste!
- Manage Your Resources - Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Reno. Put your gang to work collecting supplies and gold, and use those resources to build the settlement you'll need to succeed.
- Become The Governor - Become feared across the West by building up your dread, then fight your way to victory by seizing power - or become famous and win an election the old fashioned way.
- Each playthrough is unique! Start afresh with a procedurally-generated map, a rotating cast of starting characters, and different starting perks to customize how you want to win the West.
- No one true path to glory! Different characters and starting perks combine to make different paths to victory viable. Explore and build up your dread by living off the land, or recruit a dozen settlers and build a town that can sustain your gubernatorial ambition!
