HR:P Delayed! (But MIGHT Be a HRAFD Sequel After All) news

Some of you may find this news disturbing, others - not so much. Yes, we are delaying the release of HR:P. That much is true...BUT...only by a scant 10 days! The reason? Well, we needed a little bit of extra time to ensure that HR:P was up to snuff for you dimple darlings. I wanted to avoid the problems that we had with HR:AFD. Once again, a lot of things I wished to pull off just weren't in the cards, as Goldsource is Goldsource, and without access to engine code, there wasn't much that could be done. However, as far as fixable stuff goes - playtesting yielded a whole slew of what I like to call "F**K-Freakage". Yes, that is my term for glitches and bugs. Things have been kicked into crunch-mode here at Heath Games as multiple people simultaneously playtest, code, troubleshoot, report and fix issues. You could say things have reached a fevered pitch here! But it's all for you!

I personally feel like someone dragged my body, mind and soul over a gravel road, behind a horse and left me for dead in the snow. What a year, huh? Highs and lows, blood, sweat, tears! I can't speak for my team mates on how they're feeling, however - as they remain reticent on the issue.

All the pain's worth it, though - because Parasomnia is coming December 11th. And that's a fact, Jack.

Oh, and did I mention? It Just MIGHT be a sequel to HR:AFD after all...Hmm, some food for thought there!

This is a reality...

You know what else? Since it'll be the holiday season, and you've been so patient...I'm going to provide you with a few extra goodies! You're getting the HRP OST - That's the original soundtrack, bub, as well as the HRP Art Booklet - which will feature concept art for HR:P...if you're really good, I MIGHT make another Bestiary for you all. The soundtrack for this game is provided by "Ague", my solo project. Feel free to check it out on Facebook and Soundcloud. Many songs in the OST are going to be featured on my next album, "Dissolution of Habit", and a few are from this year's release "Requiescence No More".

Now, onto other things...
