What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want you to have the best gaming experience possible for Dust & Courage. We can show you what we're working on and listen to your opinion during Early Access. We genuinely care about our players, and we want to hear their opinions and help them play the way they want to.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We can't wait to finish the full release of the game and tell you the whole story. We currently plan to stay in Early Access for 6 months to a year. However, we promise not to keep you waiting longer than necessary.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We share the beginning of the story in the game's Early Access version. In this edition, you can experience all of the game's gameplay aspects and immerse yourself in its environment. In the final version of the game, we plan to include new weaponry and gameplay elements, as well as refine the game's plot, so that we can express it more effectively. We want to push level design and visuals to the next level in the final version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have completed the scenario and developed the first two levels, representing a significant milestone in the game's development. The core mechanics and gameplay elements have been implemented and polished to provide players with an engaging experience.

Currently, our focus is on refining the visual assets for the final levels. This includes designing environments, creating character models, and fine-tuning special effects/sounds to enhance atmosphere.

Overall, while there is still work to be done, we are confident in the progress we've made and are excited to continue polishing the game to deliver an exceptional Early Access experience for our players.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase once the full version is released. We like to express our gratitude to the players who have been there with us from the beginning. Many thanks!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to keep constant contact with our players throughout the whole process. We plan to provide our players with regular devblogs, answer their questions with Q&As, and get their feedback and listen to them. We prioritize reading and responding to every message sent to our Discord server, as well as taking note of your wishes.”

About This Game

Dust & Courage: Jake Bolton’s Journey is an isometric single-player RPG that thrusts you into a fantastical Wild West America. Step into Jake Bolton’s boots and shape his destiny in a land of outlaws, legends, and mystic secrets. Every decision is yours to make, and every choice carves your legend in the frontier. 

Ride through dusty towns, lawless outposts, and untamed landscapes brimming with quests, hidden treasures, and colorful characters. Go where you want, do what you want! This sandbox Wild West adventure is your own.

Diplomacy or danger? Friend or foe? You decide. Engage in quests where your dialogue and actions truly matter. Resolve conflicts by talking your way out or by drawing your six-shooter. Allies and enemies remember your actions; your choices will trigger consequences that ripple across the world, altering storylines and character relationships.

Strap on your irons and get ready for gunfights. Wield a variety of weapons, from trusty revolvers and shotguns to fists and knives, each with strategic advantages. Study your enemies’ weaknesses and adapt on the fly: use cover, terrain, and clever tactics to outsmart bandits and fantastical creatures alike. Whether you talk down a gang leader or blast your way through, the way you survive is up to you.

In the Wild West, word travels fast. Build a reputation as a righteous lawman, a notorious outlaw, or anything in between. Your alignment and deeds affect how NPCs and factions treat you: earn trust to gain allies, special quests, even exclusive gear or instill fear and face the reckoning of vengeful enemies. Every action opens some doors while it may close others, ensuring no two journeys are the same.

Level up Jake’s skills to match your playstyle. Become a crack shot gunslinger, a silver-tongued negotiator, a resourceful survivalist or a bit of everything. Tailor your arsenal and skills, and become the cowboy you want to be.

As you progress, you can level up Jake Bolton's skills and abilities, including proficiency with various weapons, persuasion, and survival skills. Abilities range from combat techniques to social skills like charisma and intimidation.

Saddle up and experience an epic Western saga filled with tough decisions, rich storytelling, and the freedom to walk your own path. Will you bring justice to the frontier or leave chaos in your wake? The choice is yours in Dust & Courage: Jake Bolton’s Journey, an unforgettable Wild West adventure where legend awaits.
