I'm back! :)
Henry's Son: Inky Ruins DLC development update!


Hello everyone!
Sorry for being quiet about the development of the DLC!

After over a month of silence I'm back with very very good news! :D
I wanted to write this post a long time ago but I was sick. I didn't feel very well. Now I feel much better and I have almost fully recovered!

Ok so let me tell you some about some exciting stuff!


1. Development of the DLC:

It's been a long while since I talked about the DLC at all. Last time when I posted anything, was on March 15th - 4th anniversary of Henry's Son.

I will be honest with you, development of the DLC was quite slow during March. I had to focus on other things but since April, development is going great and it's almost wrapping up! :D

Yeah that's right! DLC is in it's final stages of the development!

Things left to do are:

  • finish 2 gameplay sequences (basically just put all the stuff in place. All the assets for these sections are done)

  • finish the ending

  • work on sound design + music

  • add few secrets

Right now I work on final areas of the game. Level design is almost done! All the rooms are actually done, I just need to add props to them.

Once I'm done with all these things I will release a gameplay trailer for this DLC! With its release I will test and polish the game to make sure there aren't any bugs left and that everything is in place for the release! :)

If you're interested, here are things that are all finished:

  • blueprints/codes (basically every gameplay mechanic, etc.)

  • all models

  • level design (almost but it's just a matter of days and it will be 100% done!)

  • most of the animations and cutscenes

As I told you! Development is wrapping up however I have no means to RUSH this game! I really want to take my time with it and make sure it's in the best state possible! :D

Now let me move on to the next section.


2. General information about the DLC:

As the development is wrapping up I wanted to give you some more information about the game!

Overall it's very safe to say that this DLC will be the biggest release for Henry's Son. It's bigger than any other Chapter.
The whole experience will take around 30-40 minutes!

I won't lie! I'm actually surprised that this DLC is that big but I'm happy with this! At least it's not a short 10-15 minutes game (which I thought it will be at the start) :D

DLC has 6 main areas. Each one has different level design style and different atmosphere making each one of them quite unique! You will see what I mean once you play the game! ;)

You can also expect few new characters (including the player character). Some old characters are also returning for this DLC or will at least be mentioned. There is 1 specific character which will not come back and it actually plays a big role to the narrative of the game! :)

As for the gameplay! Just like with these 6 areas. Gameplay will differ depending on which part of the DLC you're currently playing. There are many new gameplay mechanics and types of puzzles! I think gameplay is one of the strongest parts of this DLC! :P

(Also a small "leak". You can expect crouching in this game!).


3. Closing thoughts:

I'm very happy with what this DLC is going to be and I'm glad it's almost finished! :D
I really can't wait for you to play it!

In my opinion, it's much better in many aspects compared to the base game:

  • It's scarier (or is scary at all)

  • It has much better gameplay

  • Better though out areas and level design

  • More interesting story (which is still connected to the one in the base game so don't worry!)

  • It has better atmosphere and sound design

Ofc these are my thoughts and just my opinion which can be a bit bias since I'm the creator. Well, I hope you will like the game once it's out!

Since I don't plan on releasing any teasers until the gameplay trailer is out, I'm open to respond to your questions about the game (if you have any).
Feel free to ask me about the game or anything really in the comments section under this post! :)

That would be everything from me!
Have a good day/night and see you next time!
