New Demo + Christmas Special Here! 
August, 1999. You're a fresh college grad passing the time in your parents' rural retreat before the tourist season picks up and your first job as "Junior Researcher" at a nearby wildlife-themed resort begins. Located on the outskirts of the run down backwater town called Redridge, the crickets and your empty beer bottles are your only companions. It's getting late, and you decide to put on a pot of coffee and throw something in the microwave...just then, you hear a pounding at the door. Then...the windows...

A new version of the demo is out AND the "Beary Christmas" special is packaged with it? Yes! There's been a large amount of progress made on Half-Rats: Redridge since the last update? YES, YES, YES!
A lot of you may remember Qwertyus, the QA specialist who helped me polish up Half-Rats: A Fever Dream way back in 2015. Well, he's come back to work his magic on the rough, janky mess I released back in April of God knows when! He will also be reprising his role as QA on Half-Rats: Redridge.
Did I say "Half-Rats: Redridge"? Yes, I in fact did! Why? Because marketing and because of the fact that it's a Half-Rats mod. Though this time it's actually canonical and not a dream. Don't get too excited though because Half-Rats himself isn't in it...but he IS mentioned, and he IS a part of the same universe Redridge takes place in. We'll just call it Redridge for the sake of brevity, eh?
The Newly Polished Demo and Christmas Insanity!
Okay, you all are probably chomping at the bit to play a much more playable version of the Redridge demo, as well as a better Beary Christmas! So, here's the link to get that bit of content:
Here's some of the insanity you'll learn to expect!
Oh my!
I'm sure you'll also want to see some photos on progress on Redridge proper, so, here it is! By the way...all that's left is a few voice lines, a little more level geometry and the scripting for 2 and a half maps and Redridge is finished and ready for the testing phase! Shepard finished the last lines of code just a month ago! Pretty exciting huh?
Whose bong is that?
A Tuberculosis outbreak back in the day really put a damper on Shell Island, the town of Bittersweet and its tourist trade. Along with the collapse of the fisheries in the surrounding waters.
BOOM! Whoops!
Okay, some of you may have noticed that Officer Davis received a makeover between when the demo was released and now. You are very observant. Many of you probably don't realize is that the makeover that Netoxy performed was based on the face of a real-life person!
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you...
Joseph "Alexej" Zobay...The most eligible bachelor in mod models. He was the base for one of the publicans in Parasomnia as well as Mr. Trask!
He played with me in Ague, toured with us as a drummer for Arsenic Tea Party, and has been in many other bands with me since high school!
Ladies, as stated before, he is single and ready to mingle. He also makes enormous amounts of money. He's HIGHLY wealthy. Get at me if you want access to him! I'm kidding.
Okay! See you 'round! Prepare for the full version of Half-Rats: Redridge to drop...soon-ish...I hope. Maybe!

It is really Half-Rats: A Fever Dream and Parasomnia but is 1990's and 2000's?
No, it's canonical. It's part of the main Half-Rats story, which you can download and read. It doesn't have anything to do with the events of the mods.
2025?
Hopefully not, but probably, lol.
Voting!
Coming 2025 okay?
Best to get it right so I don't have to endure all the running off at the mouth for another decade. What a pain.
I wonder which will come out first, this or the update for Half-Rats: Parasomnia?
It's looking like HR:Redridge will be out before Para 2.0!
But...HRP2.0 will follow closely behind it...however, we will probably charge for it.
I would be ecstatic if we could finish at least one of those soon. Really just hung up on coding the bosses and compiling the insane maps.
