You Meet Someone and Later You Meet Their Dancing and You Have to Start Again
—Heather Christle
You meet someone and inside of them you know there swells a small country brimming with steel and beasts of labor. You love the country and so you fear it. Its flora fascinates you. You wish to visit, though you worry you won’t wear the right clothes, that you’ll fail to order a drink, ask directions, assure the clerk in the flower shop you aren’t a thief. They’re only roses. They remind you of the one you love. Even with your eyes closed in your own mouth you’d know they’re roses.

Gervaso/Sharon/Welch (because let's face it, they all basically adopted the whole group at various moments): Don't talk to me or my son or my daughter or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son or my daughter or my daughter or my daughter or my son or my daughter or my daughter or my daughter or my son or my son or my daughter or my daughter or my son ever again.

Go Broncos!
Unrelated to football, Boot Hill Bounties takes place in Bronco County where you’ll have to bring down 5 outlaws of the Saints-Little Gang. It’s a Wild West RPG (how often do I get to say that in a game preview?), a sequel to Boot Hill Heroes. The latter was funded on Kickstarter back in 2012, and released two years later, with positive reviews on Steam. It even has music from one of my favorite chiptune composers, Jake ‘Virt’ Kaufman.
The game’s solo developer David Welch a.k.a. Experimental Gamer has been mostly silent after the release, but worked hard on the sequel, Boot Hill Bounties. It’s now been announced and makes the second part of the trilogy (backers will be glad to know it’s included in their pledge).
The best news? Bounties is pretty much done with a December 1 release date on Steam. Stay in touch with Dave on Facebook and Twitter.
