the development was continued by a new team in 2005 in cooperation and with the blessings of iron claw interactive. the new team released two additional versions of western quake (beta 2.1 in 2005 and beta 2.2 in 2006). the new team, going under the name of smokin' guns productions, released "smokin' guns" 1.0 as a standalone version based on the open-source "quake iii" engine in january 2009. the name of the game was changed in order to avoid legal problems as well as to reflect the work of the new team since it took over development in 2005.
