~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
Welcome to the twelfth annual announcement event for TalixArts. It will showcase several new announcements for upcoming games, new ips, updates on few games. Similar to last year's event, everything will be covered under a single-day format.
 
 
IronWest
 
IronWest is the first reveal and the first new TalixArts ip that is a Western steampunk adventure RPG. This game is Red Dead Redemption meets Fallout. In IronWest, players control a fully customizable character known as the Wanderer. Being the Wanderer, players will have to explore a vast and untamed land, where steam-powered technology intertwines with the rugged landscapes of the Old West. Players find themselves in a captivating world of gears, coal smoke, and lawless frontiers. The game is set in an alternate timeline where steam-driven contraptions, clockwork marvels, and arcane machinery have become an integral part of everyday life.
 
Premise:
As a lone wanderer, players embark on a perilous journey across a sprawling steampunk Western landscape as they unearth a sprawling conspiracy within a once-prosperous mining town whose valuable resources have attracted various villainous factions, corrupt politicians, and power-hungry tycoons. Players must navigate through treacherous alliances, ancient mysteries, and sinister plots to unravel the truth behind the town's decline and restore justice to the frontier.
 
Gameplay:
The game offers a blend of immersive storytelling, intense combat, exploration, and character development. As the mysterious Wanderer, players can create their own character from either gender, skin color, hundreds of hairstyles, wardrobes, and accessories; as they develop their character’s look, they can also choose their character’s style based on five different classes: Gunslinger, Outlaw, Tinkerer, Arcane Engineer, or Freedom Wizard. Selecting that class will help the player’s wanderer to expand their skill tree; and will have the ability to unlock different unique skills and weapons. As they will face a multitude of challenges, including gunfights, high-speed steam-powered train heists, battles against mechanical monstrosities, and intricate puzzles that require creative use of technology and ancient artifacts; those challenges will also influence the character’s skill tree and as well another key gameplay mechanic known as Influence. The player can develop influence points that can help build trust to certain allies and distrust to enemies you can create during your quest. The more challenges you win, the more influence points you earn that can unlock certain unique influence-based abilities such as: Trick, Mesmerize, and Bequest among others.
 
Other Key Features include:
*Unique Skills and Abilities: Unlock powerful steam-infused abilities, gadgets, and weaponry that allow for strategic combat and diverse playstyles.
*Dynamic Open World: Explore a vast and visually stunning steampunk Western landscape, filled with bustling towns, hidden ruins, and dangerous outposts.
*Faction System: Join or oppose various factions, each with their own motivations, storylines, and benefits, shaping the game's outcome and your character's development.
*Customization: Personalize your character's appearance, gear, and steampunk gadgets, creating a truly unique hero in the frontier.
*Engaging Narrative: Encounter memorable characters, engage in branching dialogue, and make choices that impact the story's direction, leading to multiple endings.
