The West Introduces Job System Changes

Published on: 20 June, 2012

Even in the Wild West, you’ve still got to earn a living. However, unlike many real jobs, The West’s selection of in-game career options are pretty entertaining — at least in comparison to flipping burgers or stocking shelves. The developers of The West have plans to make getting a J-O-B in the game a little more entertaining with a revamped injury system, a fixed experience system and a new motivation system. All of these changes are part of The West 2.0, a larger and longer-term project that will revolutionize the game.

In addition to the revamped job system, you can look forward to new maps and sharp new interfaces with the next iteration of The West — but of course it’ll retain its stylized Old West charm and its range of character customization options that came in with the last round of updates.

We’re delighted to hear that The West is thriving and that it’s development staff has big plans for the game. It deserves the attention, and we’re sure it’ll only be stronger for the tweaks it undergoes.
