Developer Update | Why the West?

We received a few questions related to our game theme. So let us answer them here together!

Why did you choose a western theme?



Many members of our developer teams are big fans of the old western classics. When we were kids, we watched many American movies and many were about the American Old West. The scene of riding horses and intense duels made a lasting impression on us. We have also played a bunch of games that have western stories. But we found that there few well-made western themed VR games. We feel that these stories are really interesting and worthy of being introduced to a new audience. So, we set out in the hope to infuse this kind of unique western experience into VR games. Just imagine that you are a great western hero where you use your trusty revolver to deliver your own brand of justice and you will know how cool it is!



What other themes did you consider before?



We have considered making an invisible sci-fi shooting game with the story happening on Mars. However, we think the operation experience brought by those old style guns will be much better than that brought by those sci-fi guns. Our interest and enthusiasm made us choose the western theme. We know that the battles on Mars will also bring players quite different game experience. We will work on it if possible in the future.



Why did you add the story of alien invasion?



We want to bring different kinds of gameplay into this game, which will definitely bring players more challenges and more changes. Imagine that at the moment when you hold your revolver tightly and are ready to shoot down your enemy when the enemy in front of you just disappears. Or like when you find a nice hideout and think you are safe only to turn around to discover the enemy is standing right behind. The element of invisibility enables us to make players more nervous and excited, which made us think about how a west cowboy would gain this ability to become invisible.



Infusing sci-fi elements into a retro world view can always excite many game makers, and many movie makers too. Cowboys & Aliens, while some may say is trash, we think that it is a cool movie with many of our team members really enjoying it. We have to admit that great works of the same theme did have a great influence on us developing this game even those they are not the source of our inspiration.
