October 10th - via: cliqist.com

The development has had it’s share of ups and down, including nail biting Steam Greelight process; but in the end the development team prevailed.

Boot Hill Heroes Finally Approaching Greenlight Success

June 24th - via: cliqist.com
RPGs are good fun, and they’re even more fun when you get one to three friends involved in the experience. In addition to that, everything is irrefutably better in the Wild West. Guns? They got em.

It also seems that co-op western RPG Boot Hill Heroes has a wealth of things to offer, and the Gods of Steam Greenlight have finally smiled down upon this Earthbound-inspired gem, because after a mass approval of 75 Greenlight titles on June 11th, Boot Hill Heroes jumped from being almost in the Top 100 to being the 65th game down from the top! (Read More)

Boot Hill Heroes Needs A Hero

March 19th - via: cliqist.com

At one point the game reached the 60% mark, some solid progress that was the result of over 4,500 gamers giving the game a “Yes” vote. So what happened? I’ll let David fill you in. (Read More)
