Scarlet Hollow — Episode 1

The free-to-play first episode of a horror-mystery game with dark humor and hand-drawn art from award-winning graphic novelist Abby Howard.

Hey folks! Popping in to share a few quick updates. We just launched a mini-crowdfunding campaign for the "I Want to Yeah" shirt worn by bus stranger! [url=https://go.topatoco.com/products/ahsh-iwant-sh]It's available over on Topatoco[/url], and if we double our initial goal, everyone who gets a shirt is going to get a sticker thrown in for free :D We have some other neat crowdfunded merch on the horizon, too, so keep your eyes peeled for future updates!

We're still working on the script, but so far it's already at 400 pages (which is significantly more content than Episode 3!) — this is the Episode where a lot of your decisions in the first three episodes are really going to start to be felt, so there should be a lot of interesting branching. We're shooting for a fall release, ideally around Halloween, though as always, we're not going to release it until it's ready, even if it takes some extra time. [*] We've got a small second game in the works, too, and it'll probably release between Episodes 4 and 5. We've deliberately designed in such a way that it should have minimal impact on Scarlet Hollow's release schedule. The writing hasn't slowed down Scarlet Hollow's script work whatsoever, and we're trying out a pencils-only art style that both looks great and takes a fraction of the time it takes to do full inks and colors. We'll be announcing at some point this summer, so once again, keep your eyes peeled! [*] We've got an upcoming balance patch we'll be releasing in June that adds a bit of new art to the first three episodes as well as some new dialogue. It's probably going to be similar in scale to the last balance patch we did — a few traits are going to feel a lot better. [*] As we continue to make more episodes and add more content to the game, we've been leaning more and more towards raising the price point. We'll give at least a month's heads up before that happens, but if you've been waiting for a discount to pick up the full game, it's definitely a good idea to pick it up the next time it goes on sale! [/list] Can't wait until we can share more of what we're working on!
