Hi Newgrounds!!

Man have I dreamed of this day. I have a lot to say but in case you are busy here’s the TLDR:

• Gretel and Hansel is back! We are releasing a remake of Part 1 and Part 2 along with Part 3 as one single game in 2025
• The game will release on Steam first with console ports to follow in 2026.
• The game is built in Unity in a 2.5D style 
• The entire game, every asset, are watercolors painted by hand by DJKingDB and myself Makopudding, the original artists from Gretel and Hansel.
• The original music composer is back along with an incredible new composer we will introduce soon.
• Our Discord is live today! Please join if you are interested in following the process as we finish the game!

Now for some back story on why this has been fifteen years in the making. After releasing Part 2 in the fall of 2010 we were fully intent on making Part 3 and releasing on Newgrounds but various life events happened (as they do) which prevented us from releasing a Flash game in those years. Then Flash, a glorious, creative, quirky, beautiful part of the internet was killed. But I never stopped working on the game and never gave up the dream of finishing the series. I stopped posting because I was unable to provide an answer as to when the game would come out and in what form. That was a mistake and I apologize to all the fans who have reached out over the years looking for an update and not getting one. That ends now.  

We are back and will be posting regular updates including the process of making and completing the game. We are launching our Discord today and would love for anyone interested to come join and become part of the community. I will be live streaming there on a weekly basis while I work on the game. I will also post regular updates here on Newgrounds since this is the community that embraced the games and one I love so much. Big thanks to Tom Fulp for featuring them in the first place and being such an incredible human being. 

You can follow along on our website as well www.gretelandhansel.com and all the other various socials. If anyone has any questions feel free to drop in on Discord, we will be there today meeting people and answering any questions we can. 

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the fans that never gave up on the game. As I’ve worked on it hour after hour, month after month, year after year, you have kept me going. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I promise you all this will be the true Gretel and Hansel, and I hope it brings joy, laughs, and a grand adventure. 

Cheers, 

Mako

Hello everyone. I just wanted to (FINALLY) say that the Gretel and Hansel website is alive again and that we have a big announcement coming this Friday at 12pm CST. I will post on the front page that day so stay tuned (there's also a countdown on the website) Thank you so much for the patience and support over the years, I haven't forgotten, I'm still alive and cannot wait to share with you more on Friday.

Stay tuned!

Happy Pixel Day everyone! Gretel is still alive and so are we. We'll be posting big news soon! Anyone with questions can DM me, have a great day!

Enjoy the 4th everyone! Here's a bit of concept art. Major updates coming soon :)

Depict1 is a fantastic game , one I thoroughly enjoyed, I am incredibly happy it won a tank award. Great game, great art, awesome story!! Bravo Mirosurabu! We are also totally honored to have been chosen as a finalist for two years in a row with our Gretel and Hansel games. We will keep working hard to ensure Part 3 has a good shot as well, as we feel it will be the best in the series. Happy Pico Day everyone! I am super sad I wasn't able to make it this year, but I'll be back next year for sure.

Happy Birthday Tom!!

Hello everyone, thank you all for the really positive response to my request for beta testers for Gretel Part 3. I now have enough volunteers and am closing the beta list. The game will take several months to get to beta (at least 7) so you will all need to be patient but if I replied to your PM's with a, "you're on the list" then you are on the list! Wish us luck as we start major development... this one will be the best for sure!

Hello everyone! I was given the honor of contributing to this amazing project on www.FlashMindmeld.com (remove the space). Numerous flash developers were given sixty seconds to give some advice on building successful flash games. Legendary contributors include Tom Fulp, Brad Borne, Tyler Glaiel, Afro-Ninja, and many many more. Check out the clips, there is a ton of great knowledge and advice there. Many thanks to David Fox and co for bringing all of this together.

Also, Part 3 is beginning development... this time I'll be doing a closed beta test to make sure I get all of the bugs out before launch. PM me if you are interested in beta testing...

Aaaaand yes I AM going to fix the broken medals, I apologize profusely for letting those go so long unfixed. Thank you all for the support and look forward to many great games in the future.

Best,

Mako

Hello Everyone,

For those of you trying to find the secret medals 2 and 5 please know they are still broken. I am working on a fix but I had to take some time off cause I was getting burnt out working on the launch and bug fixes. Also I know there are still a few bugs in the same (mostly minor, some major) know that I'm aware of all of them (I hope so anyway...) and an update should be coming soon, days not weeks.

Thanks for playing and for all the great feedback!

Mako

PS: the image is from another game I'm working on... :)

FINALLY!!! SO sorry for the delay everyone... but the game is now finally out!

Go play it and let me know what you think!!
