Tales of the Trail

Being a former pugilist and notorious for starting and/or finishing many bar fights, the Layabout is no stranger to close-quarters combat. Which makes him all the more dangerous when lobbing a thick glass liquor bottle

The Inventor has a myriad of gadgets at her disposal to get her out of a jam, including a special unit summon, a test dummy automaton to draw the attention of foes in range

The Inventor has multiple ways to rid herself of her device's troublesome cooldowns and still save her skin. Some include a gust of air to push her target away or a blast of molten slag to both burn and slow down her unfortunate target.

Invincible art trend with the current playable classes of my indie project, Tales of the Trail

With her latest groundbreaking invention, the Inventor can lay waste to multiple targets at a time with different area-of-effect attacks. Be wary, however, as these attacks will be put on cooldown after use

The pursuit of meat, skins, and pelts will cause nature to fight back tooth and claw, inflicting bleed and poison in deadly amounts

Once at a certain threshold, the Blademaster decides to go all-out, shedding his remaining armor. In this state, he's much less protected, but twice as deadly; determined to take as many of your party with him to the grave

@sean_gause Howdy! We're also making a cowboy game! But ours is more a 2D tactical roguelike

I want to see art on my timeline and follow more artists. Less negativity and bait. Artists, use this as an excuse to show off and tell me about your art. Illustration, 3D models, animation, music, whatever you're making.🎨

The Blademaster is quick to react with both sword and sidearm. Should a member of your party he hasn't chosen to duel attack him, he'll return with swift retaliation, depending on what comes his way

The Blademaster primarily prefers to battle honorably in 1-on-1 duels. He'll set his sights on a particular unit and focus solely on them for a number of turns. Pray they're skilled enough at fighting back

The Bandit Mariachi enemy has two distinct songs he plays in battle: A jaunty tune to perk up his allies and a grim dirge to lower your party's morale

A few animations showing off the deadly shots and dirty tricks that bandits will inflict upon your party while out on the trail

While every character is more or less an archetype more than a full-blown individuals, each class still has a "canon" name. Your various cowpokes will have all sorts of names from far and wide! Just hope that none of those names are attached to a bounty...

As the Sheriff, the journey on the trail will effect you just as much as your cowpokes. You'll face a few events near the start of your journey that will stick with you and provide different buffs for the rest of the campaign

In addition to battling bandits, wildlife, and overcoming the trials of nature itself, your party will also encounter a myriad of other travelers on the trail when going between towns. Should you choose to help, harm, humor or hinder them is all up to you

Man and beast may be one of the many problems your party will face out west, but the environment itself is no joy either. Harsh dust storms, oppressive sun, and bone-chilling nights are just a few of the obstacles your cowpokes will need to overcome or succumb to the elements

In our next big leg of development, your cowpokes will be facing their toughest obstacle yet. The Blademaster, a samurai and lone survivor of a shipwreck harboring the Japanese ambassador, ravages the wild west with a massive language barrier and a rage driving him to madness

Roving bandits thirsty for blood and cash won't be your party's only problem on the trail. The wildlife itself will also pose a challenge on your wagon. Take down these varmints to receive meat, pelts, and a moment of respite from the stressors of the trail

The Badlands, the essential backdrop of any classic western, is where your town is located and your journey begins! A biome without too many bells and whistles, but still rather deadly with a variety of terrain and bandits on the prowl, eager to rob any passing wagon

A war-hardened, frontline lieutenant, now in the throes of the ongoing Civil War. The Buffalo Soldier is a tanky frontliner capable of taking hit after hit, along with whipping his fellow party members into shape under the banner of his grand old flag
