Scarlet Hollow News

Fixed a few broken achievements and rare logic errors, among other assorted bugs

Hey folks!

It's been a long time coming, but Episode 4 is finally here. Enjoy! :)

To celebrate the launch, we've also included an extension on the Wayne plush crowdfunding campaign, so check it out if that sort of thing interests you! Our composer also decided to make the entire Episode 4 soundtrack pay what you want on his Bandcamp for the next week, so pick it up now while you still can: https://brandonboone.bandcamp.com/album/scarlet-hollow-episode-4-official-soundtrack

There have been a few changes to earlier episodes over the course of Episode 4's development, with the most notable one being an overhaul of the Mystical trait. Both Wayne and the carvings have their own themes as of Episode 4, and we've also replaced the Original Sin track in earlier episodes with these new recordings.

If you want to join in the community discussion, please check out our Discord (discord.gg/blacktabbygames) and the Scarlet Hollow subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ScarletHollow/).

The Discord is also the best place to report bugs! Alpha testers did a great job with the new episode, though, so hopefully there won't be too many to find! If you run into weird issues early on, try verifying the integrity of your installation through Steam — I know the first round of patching was a little funky for some of our testers, but that should clear most things up!

Aside from bug fixes and a celebratory stream (date TBD), we'll be taking a month or so off some time off to recover from this deadline. And then it's going to be straight into work on Episode 5 and Slay the Princess.

Thanks so much for your support, and welcome home,
Tony + Abby

PS: As a note, Episode 4 is an escalation over prior chapters, so if you happen to need content warnings, we've updated our website to have an episode-by-episode breakdown: https://www.blacktabbygames.com/content-warnings-sh

Hey folks!

We need one more day for the finishing touches. I underestimated the visual complexity of implementing some of the animated sequences in the new Episode and I wanted to make sure we got them right. And we did! But it took a little longer than expected, so I'm still adding the finishing touches to a small handful of scenes, and then want to spend some time this evening making sure every major bug is ironed out before we share our new content with the world.

Hate to delay yet again and I know a lot of you have been so excited to play today, but every delay has gone into making the new chapter hit harder and look better.

Episode 4 tomorrow at 1pm EST.

Thank you so much for your patience,
Tony

Hey folks!

Deepest apologies but we're gonna have to do ONE more (extremely short) delay for Episode 4.

Work is almost done, but we want a little extra time to give one of the endings the breathing room and extra complexity it deserves.

Cheers, and thank you so much for your patience and support, it'll be worth it ^^

Hey folks!

We unfortunately lost some time to illness earlier this month, so we're giving ourselves a little extra time to finish up work on Episode 4. It's now slated for November 30th instead of November 22nd.

Cheers, and thank you so much for your patience and support!
