- Announcing new price - 7 June 2022
Howdy everyone. Blood will be Spilled was released on May 29 2019 which means the game celebrated its 3rd anniversary recently. It was the first project of our very small studio, created with no prior experiences in game development. We learned an incredible amount of stuff on this game, both from our successes and our failures and despite its multiple shortcomings, we are quite proud of what we’ve achieved. The game won multiple awards and was praised for its visuals and narrative, which for us - graphic designers by trade, means a lot. But it’s been three years and the game is reaching the end of its life cycle. Since we have a completely new team now (including programming), we are no longer able to provide support or fixes for the game. We are aware of the issues that still remain in the game, but from our knowledge, most of them can be solved by reloading a checkpoint or level, eve…

- Bugfixes in progress, please be patient - 30 May 2019
Hi everyone, without further ado, we say it plainly: "At this point, we failed the release pretty bad!" We are making this game for 5 years already and we presented and tested it publicly many times before. We worked very hard and insane hours to meet the original release date and still made the game exactly the way we wanted. And we really thought that it's possible and we could do it without any bigger issues. We wouldn't release the game if we thought otherwise. We are inexperienced and naive. As we are a very small team of hobby indie developers with no previous experience in game development, we have very limited resources, also our user beta testing was limited, apparently inadequate and it seems that we were not able to find (not even nearly) most of the bugs that blowed up right after the release to the public. We are very sorry and we apologise to everyone who already bought th…

We really hope that you'll all enjoy wandering with Jack through this hand-drawn harsh Wild West world full of strange allies, deadly enemies and other rather peculiar characters. That you'll count every bullet on the way through dusty canyons and deserts and make all of the bad guys pay for what they did to him. As we didn't want to disappoint our few fellow fans, we really wanted to release the game in time. Unfortunately, very short before the original release date, we encountered one pretty serious problem that made us to postpone the launch of the game. We are sorry for t…
- Postponing the release date - 23 May 2019
Howdy cowboys! Unfortunately, we have some bad news. Due to unforeseen complications in the last days leading up the release of Blood will be Spilled, we stumbled upon few issues that made us reconsider our release date. We were really working our hardest to get it all done in time, so that we wouldn’t need to postpone the time of the release, but we’re just a very small team of three and a half people. And we didn’t want to disappoint those few fans we have by releasing the game in a state that we’re not happy with. It was a choice between two evils and we hope we chose the lesser one. So, without further ado, the new, postponed release date is on Wednesday May 29th 2019. We would really like to apologize to any people we disappointed, but we simply ask you to wait just a little bit longer. Thank you very much for your support and hopefully see you all next week. Sincerely, Doublequote…
