← West Bank Reloaded

Press

Three doors. A gun or a bag of gold. One second to tell which.

West Bank Reloaded is a fast, funny western shooting gallery in the spirit of the three-door bank shooters of the 1980s (Bank Panic, West Bank). A door opens: if he draws, shoot first; if he holds out gold, hold your fire. Sixteen voiced levels lead from a frontier bank to a bank in hell, with four shops, five guns and counted cartridges.

The longer description

You took the job nobody keeps: banker in Dry Gulch, where bandits call daily and the last three bankers did not last the week. Three doors face you. Behind any of them may be a man going for his gun, or a customer with a pouch of gold – and you have about a second to tell which.

West Bank Reloaded takes the three-door bank shooter of 1984–85 and gives it everything those machines could not: more than fifty animated characters who each draw, flinch and fall their own way; four talking characters who brief you before every level; four shops with four very different shopkeepers; five guns that each take their own counted, paid-for cartridges; armour that shows on your portrait; night shifts; and a story that runs from a dusty frontier bank through the county town and the head office to the Bank of the Pit, where everyone you shot comes back to make a withdrawal.

How it was made

West Bank Reloaded was built by one developer with AI tools, and says so wherever it is sold. Its pictures, animation and voices were generated and then selected, cut out, composited and directed by hand; the code was written with an AI coding assistant. The game’s music, sound effects and fonts are not AI; the trailer’s sound is. The developer is glad to talk about any of it in detail.
