[WIP] Town of the Ancient — A Supernatural Western

Hi Sarah. When you say saves, do you mean checkpoints? If so, then yeah, I’m for sure working to add those. About adding the link in my top post, I’ve been trying to edit the post and put the cogdemos link, but I can’t edit it, which is unfortunate. Do you have any recommendations for me to make it more visible?:folded_hands:

For sure, thanks for the advice

Hello guys. I have a question for those who have read Town of the Ancient, even if it was just snippets. Firstly, do the choices feel like they’re lacking? Second "Is the narration and dialogue just too long? I’m revising a few things, and I felt like this might be something I should consider looking into.

One thing you may or may not want to look into, depending on what you want from the story, is that the MC seems to be personality-locked. If that’s intentional, then fine; if not, you may want to look into it.

It was intentional but thanks for that :folded_hands:

Another weapon-naming bug

Este problema ya debería estar solucionado, gracias por señalarlo :folded_hands:

Hello guys. I used to wonder why authors of my favourite novels took forever to upload a WIP update, and now I’m slowly starting to realise the horror of why that’s the case day by day :wilted_flower: :skull_and_crossbones: . Anyways, this is just a little rant. The next official update is on 6/26/2026, Act2 part1 will be coming out.

Howdy good people. I just updated the Town of the Ancient. And it includes Act2 part1 but I wouldn’t get your hopes to high up because there is still a lot of work that needs to go into Act2 part1. For the past 2 weeks I didn’t really have time to properly work on my work even though I managed to squeeze at the very least 4-6 hours of work everyday. But I ended up not being able to meet deadlines I set for myself. But as always, check the story out for yourself and tell me what you do and don’t like. Right now I am pretty tired, it’s been a long day. So I’ll get back to this post in a few hours. Thanks to you guys for taking the time to read this :folded_hands:

Very much chose male so this like is wrong

Thanks for pointing that out. But quick question, did you play the most recent updated version? Because I think I had fixed that, if not, tell me :folded_hands:

It was the newest at the time

Alright guys, just wanted to give an update on how things are looking. I’ve been pretty silent, but basically, here is how I am progressing. Act2 Part1 is about 45% finished. During the scene so far, you get to choose which job you want to take on from the notice board. I have fully completed the “horse search” only, but I should finish the second quest in 2 days. Also, I’m going to have to polish the “horse search” job, so any mistakes you find there, point them out, please.

I don’t want the different missions you can choose to feel like a rushed filler narrative, which is why I’m taking quite a bit of time on each one. You should also keep in mind that every quest does come back to affect gameplay in the future; there can be lore drops that will be useful. Relationships you build that will come in handy. Items you might only acquire in said job, stuff like that.

At the moment, I don’t intend to make the bounty for Jack an option you can choose, but depending on how the story goes, I might change that. About 10k more words have been added, making that a total of 44k words, and the word count will continue to rise as I make more updates. I forgot to mention there are about 7 jobs that will be available. I think I’ll add more and even randomise which ones appear in the future.
And I think that’s all I have to say for now. Thanks for reading this AND Town of the Ancient. It really means a lot, and I would appreciate you pointing out any errors, typos, or just telling me what you did and didn’t like. The next full update should be on 31/07/2026, and Act2 Part1 should be fresh and ready to go. After that, I’ll be working on Act 2, Part 2.

I can't get past this point


It was a new save, the cache was cleared, and most importantly, there clearly is a selectable option visible on screen! This is bizarre.
