| Updates on part 2! | 2026-07-14 | Hey everyone! I'm in a good mood lately since I've been making some major strides in the development of part 2 for AFH. I plan to put together a kickstarter pre-launch page for it soon and will likely link it in future posts. I also will be revisiting part 1 to add new content as well as fix some rare bugs I'm hearing about. I do apologize for how mid some of the minigames turned out, I really want to edit some of those to be cooler. I'm thinking in part 2 I'm going to make the minigames part of battles as special moves as well as the overworld and make them much more rhythm heaven inspired as well as having death animations like slay the dra |
| NEW ADDED CONTENT + (Next Part INFO) | 2026-04-02 | I put in all the hatman minigames, including half the announced town minigames. Also added an easy, normal, hard mode. A ton of bug patches as well. I pushed these a week or 2 after my car crash, I was going to wait until my next visibility round to officially announce, but I'm just doing it now. Do keep in mind when I work on the game and push updates, I'm not well off financially and this game is definitely a passion project atm and may be forever. I am 100% way in over my head, I tried to solo dev a AAA level art/code game and in doing so, it produces AAA problems that only long sit down dev times can solve since I don't have a team. Chanc |

| Away From Home pushed back 2 weeks. | 2025-12-05 | Hi everyone, this was a very tough call. I have to **push the release of Away From Home back by two weeks.** The game is technically beatable right now, but I’d have to cut a large number of side missions and content to ship it today, I just beat the cut content version of it and felt it took away a lot of the games uniqueness and made some areas empty. I was considering releasing early access today and full in 2 weeks, but the game just isn't as good with all the stuff I'd be cutting. I know this isn’t the update you wanted, and I’m sorry for the frustration this causes. This short delay lets me deliver the full experience I promised instead |
