Bang! Howdy

'''Bang! Howdy''' is Three Rings' second online game project. Instead of being pirate-themed, however, this game is set in the Wild West. It's also quite different from Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, with a very different style of play as it uses 3-D Java rendering, causing the game to use more memory, therefore some computers that can run Puzzle Pirates fine may still struggle with this new game.

About the Game
Bang Howdy is a third-person strategy game that can be described as "Bnav meets Cops & Robbers meets Mario Kart". Bang Howdy's Beta testing ended on December 1, 2006, and it was released in full. Some details are as follows:


 * The game features a new microcurrency system, similar to doubloons, used to pay for clothing, cards, and unlocking new units.
 * The game features incidental bonuses called "cards", which can be both purchased and picked up in the middle of a game. They range from affecting various units in the game to changing the game environment.
 * The game is multiplayer, with up to four players on a table permitted. The game can also be played against AI, known as "tin cans".
 * The game features music designed by Somatone, described as "Spaghetti Western meets break-beat"
 * The game features multiple "towns" which feature different units, cards, and scenarios. Currently there are two towns, the Frontier Town and the Indian Trading Post.
 * Some scenarios include Gold Rush, Cattle Rustling, Totem Building, and a cooperative mode, Forest Guardians.
 * The game will allow players to buy "clothes" for their avatar that other players can see.

Jack, known as Sheriff Mike to Bang! Howdy players, leads the game's development.
