Hello hello!
After a ton of hard work, we've finally finished preparing the alpha build for the remastered director's cut of the Slay the Princess demo.
This updated demo has hundreds of lines of new dialogue, 4 new chapter 2 Princesses to meet, over a hundred new art assets, 10 new...
Ten princesses, ten different sets of backgrounds-- cabin, stairs, and basement, all slightly different flavors.

In case you've missed earlier wallpaper packs, you'll also be able to find those in the link as well, for a grand total of ...

Hey folks!
We're updating the patrons section of our credits cards prior to Episode 4's release.
A few folks in the past have specifically asked us *not* to be listed in credits, so we've settled on an opt-in system.
Please fill out this form before Friday morning if you'd li...
Hey folks! The next alpha build is live on Steam and dropbox. It's the same password as last time for the steam branch, and you can find the dropbox build if that's preferable in the post.
If you need instructions on getting the beta branch working on Steam, please take a look at the last ...
Hey everyone!
Sorry it took so long for us to get this new build ready — both of us wound up getting a pretty nasty cold that lasted a week and change, and development slowed down quite a bit as result.
The next build is READY though — please follow the instructions below to dow...
Hey everyone!
We're sharing Scarlet Hollow's next alpha build with y'all! It doesn't go too far past the last build, but it's so helpful for us to be able to share the story as it's completed to make sure there are no major bugs ^^
You can either:

Hey, folks!
The first alpha build of Scarlet Hollow Episode 4 is here for you to playtest-- it's on the shorter side of what you'll usually see in one of these builds, as there tends to be a lot of extra gr...
Hey everyone! We're gearing up to start alpha testing for Scarlet Hollow Episode 4, so we wanted to put out a quick post making sure everyone in this tier has a chance to join the invite-only alpha tester channels on the Discord.
If you're interested in joining, first make sure you're a me...
What the title says! Some previews of what's to come in Episode 4. I am moving much faster with these than I usually do, I think working on Slay the Princess leveled me up somehow >:D
Hope you're all having a lovely day!

Tony just wrote a game dev blog post about why we decided to start working on a second game, how that work slots into our work on Scarlet Hollow, and most importantly, how that launch has gone and what went into making it work. Spoilers: it was a successful launch and we are very pl...

Tony's written a new game dev blog post over on Medium all about how we structured our episodic releases and how Early Access has worked for us ;0
Usually, narrative games are discouraged from using an Early Access model, since for the most part people would be getting a worse version of th...

Every day brings us closer to completion-- Episode 3 will be out MARCH 7TH. It's now officially as long as the first two episodes combined, and in my opinion, is some of our best work. I'm so excited to be able to share it in a couple weeks!!

A new crop of backgrounds for ya! Very proud of that first one >:D I had to design so many paintings... and then learn how to do basic digital painting.
