IT'S FINALLY HERE!

This is just a little personal preamble, if you wanna see what this update actually added scroll down :)

The Home Theater Update is out and playable now with new cutscenes, bosses, items, and more! A while back I made a promise that this game would receive a few significant content updates. At first, I hoped that we'd be able to get one out at the start of this year. Between classes, bug fixes, other projects, etc., that didn't happen. Around May or June, we decided that we would put our foot down and get these updates out. We made an internal roadmap (which we shared publicly back in August) and got to work.

After a few months of hard work, the first of these updates is here! We have some big plans for the rest of these updates (and other stuff we're working on) that heavily involve the game's characters. For a long time, we've had all these ideas for the game's playable characters in terms of lore and personality that we never really got to express in-game. We had stories for all of these characters and we discussed how they arrived in the mansion, what their lives were like before the start of the game, and what we believe would happen to them after the game's events -- but most of this never made it into the game... until now.

The goal of this update is to heavily expand on the backstories of the game's playable characters before we dive into some more character-based content in some of the later updates and out-of-game stuff. Enjoy watching the new cutscenes and learn some more about the game's characters!

WHAT'S NEXT?

The next update in this series -- the Bombs Away Update -- will be out in December. We haven't settled on an exact date yet, but it'll likely be closer to the end of the month, maybe around Christmas. Bombs Away will have a bit more meat on its bones than the Home Theater Update, including the game's first new character since launch along with a few new achievements. Expect some more substantial information about this update in the next couple of weeks :)
