Wild Bunch Inspired "Wild Justice" Gets Another BIG Update!

I wanted to drop a quick update.. The feedback from the Wild Bunch crowd has been awesome, so I’ve been hard at work adding a stack of new features and polishing things up based on what you all suggested. Here’s a quick look at where the game’s at now:

If you grew up playing The Wild Bunch by Firebird Software on the ZX Spectrum, Wild Justice was made for you. I spent endless hours as a kid playing The Wild Bunch over and over again, and that’s the exact feeling I wanted to recreate here.

The idea is to give you a sandbox western experience with tons of variety. You can walk into a saloon for a drink, play a hand of poker, take on bar bets, stock up on gear, mount up on a horse, capture outlaws, or just get into random street duels.

What’s new in the latest update:

  • Devil's Canyon: A mysterious, haunted canyon that’s procedurally generated, making the layout different each time you venture in.
  • Train Diversions: When outlaws make a break for it on the train, you now have to man the Signal Station and throw levers to change the track forks before they get away.
  • Mini-games & Extras: Added a barrel-toss challenge and a zip wire alongside overall polish and performance fixes.

It’s an ongoing project that I’m constantly refining, but it's loaded with content and replayability right now. Would love for you guys to check it out!
