Thanks for the update. There still seems to be a problem with if you die and press the mouse button (to shoot) it can select an option from the menu that results in losing your checkpoint. Also, if you select "Main menu" it seems to crash instead of going to the menu.

The guards shooting at baddies may not be as helpful as I thought, since they are just as likely to hit me as the baddie :-).

EDIT: Also wanted to mention that at one point I jumped off the horse as he was going full speed and he kept going and ended up getting stuck in the wall. I got back on him but could not move. After dying he was by the checkpoint and I could ride him again.

Also forgot to mention that even before this update I did manage to "finish" the game but I was wondering what the aircraft at the extreme north was for, as I don't think I did anything with it (at least I can't recall doing anything). The guard said that they were awaiting my signal, but after doing what he said, did not remember seeing them do anything.

EDIT2: Also, I was unable to enter the building that is NE of the center of the map, I guess I am missing a key card or something? How do the key cards work? I currently have two of them.

One other thing, can you restrict the mouse pointer to the screen? It seems like the pointer goes beyond the edges of the screen and it can be difficult to make it come back on the screen.

No, I don't have a YouTube channel.

I've actually played the game and finished it several times now. I see that the money/gold is not really needed once you get the hang of the game, unless you want to change the color of your guy or your horse . Or if you want the car, but I haven't really found a good use for it as it is too fast and unwieldy (but perhaps there is a secret use?).

I think placing the pizza place right near the free water kind of defeats the purpose. Who's going to pay when they can run over a little ways and get it for free?

I'm also wondering what the purpose of the Benio? Dog house? Near your "home" is. I haven't been able to figure that one out. (I think I saw in the video of the ALPHA there was a dog bone, but I haven't found one of those.)

One other question I did have is did you mean to use the word "Diner" instead of "Dinner"? It seems like "Diner" makes more sense.

I am very impressed with what you have accomplished! It is really a very good game, and could be great with a bit more to do, like missions and stuff. You have the basics for a great game here.

Did you make this game using your own engine? I'm particularly impressed with the size of the executable compared to how much game is included. 15MB for this game seem ridiculously small considering how nice it is and it also seems very resource efficient. If I alt-tab to use other program while it's running, I barely even know it's still there (which is good because there is no save-game feature). This is not the case with so many other games that use standard game engines that seem to be very inefficient.

EDIT: Just realized you are using Clickteam Fusion for the game engine, seems like a pretty good tool.
