It means so much to hear that robodino. You will not be disappointed with the game!
Hi Mako, thank you so much for giving us this wonderful franchise. I'm so psyched to play the whole game from the beginning once it releases.
One more thing, the Discord link doesn't seem to work, as it keeps on giving me an invalid invite. Please do make sure to look into this.
Thank you once again.
Thank you for the kind words Marnic-Studios! I will check on the discord link. I'll reply again when its fixed
Wow! That is big!
I played Gretel and Hansel back in Uni, and was both creeped out and fascinated by the macabre style (the grim Brothers Grimm would be proud), so it is good to see the story's revival.
On a different note, there have been a lot of creators that would go silent leaving amazing projects on cliffhangers, so your comeback after such a long time is also a source of a wider hope. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the support trubetz! It means so much!!
@makopudding Hi, I was able to join the Discord. Thank you for your assistance. Best of luck to you for Gretel and Hansel.
Lol Gretel hasn't changed a bit at all in 15 years.
She's almost old enough for AARP
Amazing to hear that, I'm very glad the project didn't get lost in “maybe one day if stars align” forever. Congratulations on finally being able to announce this!
Don't worry about the lack of updates. While it would have been nice to hear something every now and then, I fully understand the struggle of wishing to write updates when there is often not much new to say.
There's so much to praise about Gretel and Hansel – from the unique watercolour style and the grim and dangerous setting, to your ability to squeeze so much story, twists and encounters from a few pages long fairy tale.
It's probably also the very piece of art that made me realize forests and woods in broad daylight can be just as scary (or scarier!) and full of potential as dark caves or dungeons.
I suppose it's too early for a Steam page to wishlist the game yet…? :)
Congratulations once again on this announcement, and all the best of luck with getting to the finish line.
Thank you so much for the kind words, especially about spooky daytime forests! The steam page is ready to go but we're holding it till we announce the trailer in the coming month or two. Our first step now is just to get our fans aware of the game's existence again. It's been a long time but we can do it!
Just had to dust off my Newgrounds account to comment but I gotta say how excited I am for this! I had almost forgotten about this game series. Seeing your posts on facebook brought back so many childhood memories. Might have to replay the games now. Can't wait for the full release!
Thanks for dusting off the account! I hope we provide many more memories with this release!
I have waited for this day for years, so glad it came.
Thanks for waiting for so long! It'll be worth it I promise.
I am definitely looking forward to this! I've been waiting for another installment for years! :D
see everyone, one message could make a someone on the internet respond
Sick news! This is gonna be good.
I promise it will be worth it! Thanks for sticking with us!
OMFG!! Yeeeees!!!
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you Zerolink10!! I wont disappoint ya!
Despite the long wait, in my heart I could never give up hope that some day, somehow, this would continue and see the light of day. I'm more emotional about this than I expected. Thank you so much for never giving up on this game like so many of us never fully lost hope we might see it done some day.
It's getting done! F I N A L L Y
LETS GOOO!
I remember playing the original- this is awesome news :)
Lots more good news to come! Stick around, come hang on discord. We're doing this thing.
i never would have saw this coming YESSSSSS
PLEASE DONT MAKE US WAIT ANY LONGER
The wait is alllmost over and the rest will be filled with regular updates I promise this time.
makopudding have you ever worked on other games other than Gretel and Hansel???
I cannot believe, that's really true? The dream was real? After so many years, happy to know that the day finally come.
Congratulations
Thank you so much for the endless patience!
Why the change of colors? I really liked the toned brownish look of the first two parts.
Excited for part 3 after 11 years since I played them 😅
Dont worry it's still got plenty of Toned Brown! We love toned brown! Some areas just also have night time scenes now:)
