Rabbit Hole news & patch notes

Rabbit Hole is available for download again!

We fixed the issue and steam was satisfied with our changes! Shout out to AshtonMemer for the fix! I hope you all enjoy your time with Rabbit Hole, and may it live on forever! Here's some fun pixel art I made recently to celebrate! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/501dbe34727422375f7ebf837d816e973bf48c03.png (Rabbit Hole's artstyle is actually 3 years old so it was a fun challenge to see how it would look if i started the game today) (No i'm not working on a remake)

Guess who made a new videogame? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2843550/GhoulScrapers/ Ghoulscrapers is out now! It's a short precision platformer made by me and a couple classmates as our final college project. We then polished it up and published it to steam! Hope you enjoy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/2d361b02d0bd0be903773f8f8f907b2713781998.png

Hey all, ShortCake here! Cookies inc. (i'm in that team!) is releasing their game "GhoulScrapers" in early september! GhoulScrapers is a project I had a hand in the making and I hope you all enjoy it! It's a short but sweet platformer about a girl called Eggroll and her quest to pay her unpaid taxes through working at the Ghoulscrapers! If you want to support us, wishlist it the game! It helps a lot! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2843550/GhoulScrapers/

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/3b9e9f16a834226ac07ff021df023c0dbf9a6d3a.png Also the turnips can't speak, so they probably can't answer your questions. Sorry turnip fans.

You're working on an artbook?

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/4e4fd2cc129ce35fc734ed76afb9689c5d174a39.png I am working on an artbook! It compiles most of the concept art and promo art made for the game and includes commentary from me on each page! I'm around 70% done with it and it'll probably come out at the end of the month (no promises, I still need to clean up the entire thing and get it proof read by some friends).

???

Stay tuned for a small new game announcement very very soon!

Rabbit Hole Extended OST, now available on Youtube!

The Extended OST includes:

• Bonus Tracks!
• Missing songs from the original OST!
• A buncha other dumb stuff!

By the way, this is MOAI MUSIC's youtube channel. They've uploaded the entire original OST and this is also where they'll post more of their work in the future. In other news, I am working on an artbook! It's nowhere near done though, you'll have to wait a few months. Turns out looking through 100+ .mdp files for the only 2 drawings of stradovarius isn't easy. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the extended ost! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/c982f5c222ef830937e0c0e0235df14e95d56426.png

Parting words

Hello everybody, This is ShortCake_Cafe. As some of you may know, this is Rabbit Hole's final update, I hope this doesn't come as too much of a shock to the rest of you. So. Here we are. After 3 years in development, Rabbit Hole is complete. Despite it's flaws, I think it ended up pretty alright! At the very least, it's a solid start for my first ever published game. I'm sorry to disappoint those who expected more content updates, I can't work on a free game forever. If you want to support me and my work in the future, consider dropping a dollar or two on Ko-fi! (+ you get some exclusive concept art if you do) As for what's to happen to Rabbit Hole itself? No clue, it's really up to you. The game is made in Scratch, so it's fairly simple to mod. (The source code is here if you are looking for it) Personally, I'm hoping the game's modding scene grows beyond my original work. But realistically, that's a bit too ambitious to expect. Never hurts to hope though! Anyways! I'm glad my game was able to reach so many, and I hope i've convinced some of you to stay along for the ride. Here's to the future, and to more games made with love. Later, alligators. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/8be85c39cded756bd8ae947cb1fe4acb5a307dbf.png P.S. There's a little something hidden deep within the library!

Hey all, Shortcake here!

Steam Achievements

You may have noticed the sudden appearence of steam achievements... ...That's because currently working towards adding steam api features in v1.06! However, to test said features, we sorta have to have the achievements up. I'll go more into detail on how this was done despite the fact Rabbit Hole runs on scratch in a later update, but credits to AshtonMemer for heavily helping us (basically doing all the work). Steam achievements aren't functionnal in the current build (v1.05) but will be once the game updates to v1.06. Also don't worry, any achievements you have in v1.05 will automatically be unlocked on steam once you update to v1.06.

Fanart event

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/49c96e646a2127bb6c5dbfa6abc0cffa4ad427c8.jpg v1.06 introduces a new area to the game, the museum! An area dedicated to the community, which will feature the fanart we've received! If you want your art featured in game, QRT this post on twitter or send us your art at [email protected] Deadline is may 29th, we can't wait to see your submissions!

State of development

In a bold move, i've decided to merge update v1.06 & v1.07 together, effectively making v1.06 rabbit hole's final update. Beyond v1.06, we might make a v1.07 to patch up a few final bugs but no more content will be added. There are plenty of reasons for this decision but to boil it down, I wanna get my creative juices flowing again and work on something new! (Also I can't live off of free games forever) So what's going to happen with Rabbit Hole? Well, it's really up to the community at this point! Rabbit Hole's source code is completely available on Github, and plenty of folks in the fan discord server have started tinkering with it. I'm not very involved in the modding scene, but if you're looking for more Rabbit Hole, I suppose you should keep an eye out for that. Anyways, i'll make a proper sendoff message when we cross that bridge. For now, I hope you all look forward to v1.06! later alligators

Hey all, ShortCake_Cafe here!

Newgrounds' Games of the month!

On april 7th, Newgrounds announced their best of the month, where Rabbit Hole was voted 2nd best game of the month by users of the site! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/6eebc8515de55a932fcaa06999b8d30fe5715b80.png I'm very thankful for everyone who voted for our game! (We even had some people in the community disappointed that it didn't win 1st place, but I'm very happy that we even made it in the top 5)

State of development

At the moment, I'm working on v1.04. This update will add 2-3 new weapons, some rebalacing and add Moko's alt skin to the game. Here's a sneak peak! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/5f0b687cd6cfe63075adcd692ca9bf6aedcf1aa7.png As for development as a whole, the goal is to finish adding all the skins, add a few more guns and maybe add a few extra things along the way. If all goes well, this should all be completed by the end of the month. Once we reach that point, Rabbit Hole's development will come to an end and I will start work on new projects. Rabbit Hole is and will remain a project released for free, which means I can't keep actively working on it forever (and to be honest, after 3 years of Rabbit Hole, a change of pace would be nice). Who knows, maybe we'll pull a repentance and add mods to the official game! Which leads me to my next point:

Fan Discord Server

Someone recently opened a fan discord server for Rabbit Hole which I am part of! On top of that, the server also contains Rabbit Hole's source code for those who wish to mod the game! It is currently home to 70+ people and growing, so come check it out!

Join the server today!

This server is unofficial and I am not responsible for moderating it so please don't hassle me if anything happens. I'm a gamedev, not a discord mod. Anyways, that was it! Thank you all for the ongoing support, if you want to help fund Rabbit Hole's development, consider donating on my Ko-Fi page! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44879425/5c823fce6cedb3825a8d321209c7a44d0e38fea6.png

THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'VE HEARD CORRECTLY. YOU CAN NOW WEAR MERCH OF YOUR FAVORITE FREE STREAM GAME RIGHT NOW!

LINK TO THE STORE!

Hey all! ShortCake_Cafe here! (It's 1am rn and Engi_ee is asleep so he can't write this) Merch is a thing we've been planning for a little bit now, and I'm very happy to finally release it! Now obviously, I know Redbubble isn't all that great. However I wanted to offer some sort of merch somehow! We don't have the money, tools or popularity to actually make this stuff on our own, so this is the best we can do for now, I apologize in advance! In the future though, it would be super nice to get picked by some company who actually does clothing and merch (like fangamer or others like it). --- Now, while I'm on the topic to shamelessly advertising, if you want to support me or the development of Rabbit Hole, consider Donating to my Ko-fi! Rabbit Hole is a project made completely for free so every little donation helps! (you also get access to extra doodles & concept art by getting a membership!!) --- Okay, that's enough advertising! Thank you very much for playing Rabbit Hole! later alligators -ShortCake_Cafe

Hello Everyone! This update is very small for it's purpose is to remove some unused assets, nothing too grand. I would like to take the time to say, thank you all for 8k downloads! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/932702793540718673/1214043723264950272/image.png?ex=65f7ad53&is=65e53853&hm=bc02da55ef25a2c03467533cf4e705c584dd0828af120019f9f074b5fb874891& This means a lot to Shortcake and Moai as this reception is absolutley incredible! I would first like to start off by saying, Hi, I am Engie, a member of Moai Music and the co-writer for the story and books! I helped Shortcake publish Rabbit Hole onto Steam! I will be keeping in touch and giving updates about the game and about Shortcake whenever possible! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/932702793540718673/1214043723927654440/image.png?ex=65f7ad53&is=65e53853&hm=3124ff47ce566496b039bae1f75a012f4eb74faf93c60c3edbb5809ee6da3dca& Speaking of Shortcake, he is the creator of Rabbit Hole and single handedly coded and developed everything into the game! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/932702793540718673/1214043723680325663/image.png?ex=65f7ad53&is=65e53853&hm=bb6c9dc39f4f839aa2c2881e5ec9f6c84f76519e1296a74dc666999b7b3c97e6& With that being said, Shortcake is going to go on a small break to take some rest and continue with school work as Rabbit Hole had played a massive role in his day to day life through these 3 years of development and he deserves a short break as we continue viewing feedback to see what the next course of action will be taken for the game! Don't worry, the break will only be around 1-2 weeks depending on how he feels, but I will update everyone on any news that comes up during that time! Thank you all for your support, we appreciate the kinds and love that the game has recieved and we are greatful that so many people enjoy it. Even for the people who don't, we appreciate you for taking time out of your day and giving the game a chance!
