Scarlet Hollow News

Hey folks!

We just put out a medium-sized patch that covers a few things:

• We've added an optional recap between Episode 1 and Episode 2 that covers character introductions and major decisions.
  
• There are now visual assets for the text message conversation at the end of Episode 2.
  
• Small typos and other fixes.
  

In terms of milestones for upcoming releases:

• The scenes for Episode 3 are all fully outlined, and we've started working on the script.
  
• I'm still working on prototyping a journal system to keep track of player choices, characters met, and your build. It'll be out at some point before Episode 3.
  

A couple of reminders for ongoing community stuff:

• In case you've missed it, we're running a fanart community event throughout the entire month of July. You can find the details here, but the gist of it is that if you make and post fanart at any point this month, we'll send you a signed postcard!
  
• If you haven't had the chance, feel free to join the thriving Scarlet Hollow Discord community: discord.gg/2uSZq4FXmd
  
• Reviews are always appreicated!
  

Thanks again for supporting our work, and we can't wait until we can share a finished Episode 3 with y'all— it's gonna be a ~banger~

Hey folks!
We're ordering ~extra~ postcards today, and we've decided we'd do a special giveaway for the month of July. If you make Scarlet Hollow fanart and post it to twitter with #scarlethollow or on this subreddit or on our Steam page, we'll send you a SIGNED postcard!



Accepted fanart includes, but is not limited to:

1. Digital/physical art, including sketches, crochets, sculptures, paintings, and more
   
2. Fanfic (feel free to link to AO3, saucy is acceptable)
   
3. Photoshops!
   
4. We WILL accept MS paint, so fret not if you're "not an artist" (you are!

Make as much fanart as you'd like, but we'll only be sending out 1 postcard per artist!

We'll be doing our best to stay ahead of the curve and contacting people as they post art, but feel free to DM us on Twitter instead!

PS — Still working on community items; they should go live later this month, likely shortly after the Steam Summer Sale ends.

Great news! It looks like Scarlet Hollow's already sold enough copies that Steam's given us the go-ahead to start making some community items, like trading cards, stickers, backgrounds and badges.

And to thank you, our wonderful community, we want *your* input before we get to designing them! So tell us what you want to see in them, and we'll make sure to cover as many bases as possible ^^

Some currently requested items:

• Dustin
  
• Gretchen
  
• A spooky background w/ the woods and some Ditchlings
  
• Trading cards of the romance options (and Tabitha's smile)
  

We'd also like to take the opportunity to quickly plug our Discord, which has a thriving fan art, fan theory, and general discussion community. Here's the link: https://discord.com/invite/2uSZq4FXmd

Thanks again for supporting our game— we're continually floored by how much all of you care! If you're looking for more ways to support us, reviews are always appreciated!

Thanks to a user from our Steam boards, I was able to fix Episode 1 achievements and get them to properly port to Episode 2! Any achievements you've already earned from our demo page will automatically be granted to you on launch.

Hey everyone! Now that the rush and panic of launching a new game on Steam is starting to settle, we wanted to take a quick moment to thank each and every one of you for helping the Episode 2 launch exceed our wildest expectations!

We can't express how much we appreciate the outpouring of support, enthusiasm, and fanart we've received over the past few days, and we're so grateful that all of y'all are making it possible for us to tell our story the way we want to tell it.

Thank you all so much!
~Tony and Abby
