Research
As I’m pretty sure I’ve already mentioned, I’m no big expert on the Wild West. Heck, I ain’t even American. Like most folks my age I’ve seen my share of Western movies – some were actual Westerns, some were comedies set in a Western theme (think “The Man from the East”) and one was just a parody (“Blazing Saddles”, naturally). Read a Western-themed book or two, not much, really.
The thing is, with this game, we’re going for real information. We’re not looking to make it an educational game, per se, but we do want it to give accurate information about the Wild West. As accurate as we can while still making it fun, anyway, because let’s face it – like most periods in Humanity’s history, the Wild West had it’s low points, too.
Towards that end, we’ve now formally started studying the Wild West. Whether it’s important events, or just famous ones, or famous people, the language of the era, the technology in use (yes, trains and guns count 
), or the politics in the background, we’re aimin’ to know it.
It’s not much of an update – but we figured we’d let you know what’s up, since we’ve been a bit on the quiet side lately…
