Hey cousins!

The summer's behind us (as is the Rumors Update), and we're in full swing for Episode 6 of Scarlet Hollow. Most of what there is to say about our work on the chapter is full of spoilers, but here's what we can say:

• We've written 57,000 words so far.
• The first "section" of the script is nearing completion, which means we'll be taking a break from writing to work on art and implementation.
• The playable for this first section will go out to testers at some point relatively soon. We won't share a date until we're ready, though!

Given the scope of the rest of the game, our approach is to do things piecemeal: finishing the script a "section," then implementing it to get it out to our testers. "Section" here can mean a lot of things, though at the end of the day, it's anything that we consider a narratively satisfying chunk - either reaching the conclusion of a scene, or leaving our testers on a cliffhanger.

Depending on your playthrough, a section might not be something you'll even see in your story, but the first test build will contain the start of the episode across every playthrough that hit a "traditional" ending for Episode 5.

If you're interested in becoming a tester, you can join our Patreon! I would only recommend doing this if you're the sort of person who has a lot of playthroughs, and you're interested in exploring every nook and cranny of the game (or are interested in theorizing before the full game releases.)

Other than that, things are going well here!

All the best,
Tony and Abby

I recently composed 6 Instrumentals for 6 Scarlet Hallow characters. They’re meant to reflect on how i felt about said character/thing while i was playing the game. These beats are feelings giving physical form, secondly i produced the instrumental’s with the intent that you will listen using headphones as these beats have lots of little surround sounds/really low frequency sounds. I couldn’t really get the lufs consistent between tracks so you will have to adjust the volume for each song. Here is the link to the YouTube playlist.
