Henry the 6th

Posted by PuffballsUnited - January 4th, 2017


It's a new year and I'm getting into the swing of things! I've started working on the 6th Henry game! I've been holding off on saying too much about it because it's still in the early process but I don't wanna keep you guys too much in the dark. Here's the general plan, but keep in mind that things could definitely change!

 

This may be sad to hear, but the 6th game is planned to be the last one in the series. I want to do something big to really wrap it all up. I want to put all the games in one place so they make a complete experience. I want to make the Henry Stickmin Collection, and I want to put it on steam!

 

The Henry Stickmin Collection will include all the older games, as well as the finale and maybe some secrets ;)

 

Breaking the Bank will be completely remade from scratch. It was too old and far back to salvage. Actually this step is already complete :E

 

The other games will not get completely remade. Instead I'll only touch up the backgrounds and other art assets, as well as improve the audio quality. I don't want to have to reanimate anything from those games but I may touch up a few things that bug me. This may feel very George Lucas but I feel like it's something I should do to make the collection feel more solid, since it kinda spans almost 10 years of work.

 

The 6th Henry game is gonna be the finale of the entire series, as such it's planned to be pretty big. So far it's looking to be 3 times bigger than Fleeing the Complex! It's still in the planning stages but I've got a lot of it written down. I won't start working on the finale until the previous games have been updated. The Henry Collection will probably take a really long time to complete.

 

Unfortunately this means the 6th Henry game, won't be available on Newgrounds or any of the online game sites. The file would become too big and unstable to work in. It does make me kinda sad because releasing on NG has always been one of my favorite parts of making the games. I want to thank everyone that has enjoyed the games and has supported me over the years! It means a lot to me :)

 

Also, keep in mind that I am not very far along so a lot of things could change. I just wanted to keep you guys in the loop a bit.

 

Now what does this mean for Deitied? (Deitied is the other game I've been working on with Forte). We have decided to put it on hiatus for a while. It has been pretty difficult for us to play test it since we live 4 hours away from each other. We found that it became difficult for us to nail down a direction for the game when we can only play against each other once every quarter. I am planning on moving at some point this year and we will end up living a lot closer together. Once this happens we will resume work on Deitied. For now I will be working full time on the Henry Collection. Once we pick back up on Deitied that doesn't mean I fully stop working on Henry but the workload will slow down until Deitied finishes.

 

Well that's it!

>3 times bigger than Fleeing the Complex!

Oh boy.

I mean, we'll see if I can pull it off. Might not end up being the case, it's super early.

Been playing your stuff for years! Can't wait to see what you make and eventually release!
(I'll be one of the first getting the collection on Steam :))

Thanks man! Means a lot to me :)

I'm gonna wish you good luck. if you really are gonna put hte collection on Steam, then I'm gonna make sure to get it.

Thanks man! I hope to make it worth it!

That's gonna take me an age to get all the fails.

Can't wait to play it buddy.

It's gonna take me two ages to finish it haha

I'm sure it's not why you drew it, but is that what the bank redraw you tweeted was all about?
Anyways, best of luck!

Yes it is. It was sorta a practice/I might use this sorta thing.

This means that the 6th game will have at least 100 fails, right?
And if you won't release it on Newgrounds because you think the file size is too big for a webpage, then where you're are going to release it?

Most likely it'll have over 100 but I'm not close to a failcount yet. And I'd put it on Steam.

It's great to see creators really showing appreciation towards their fans. I'm a big fan of the series and I always will be. The other games have been great and a lot of fun and I have no doubts that this final one will be amazing. Good luck on the game!

Thanks for the kind words!

sweet, glad you continued this series.

I hope to do it justice.

Hope to see more of Henry this year

This year will probably be too soon. I'll be posting updates on Twitter tho so you might see some hints.

I actually think it's great that your next and last game will be a massive steam release. It's a nice way to wrap everything up as well as making it accessible to a wider audience. I'm also thrilled to hear about the size of the next game, and I can't wait to play it. I really wished that the endings from previous games could set you up on different paths in the next one, but that's probably a bit to complicated to realize. Still good luck on the development, and get it out as soon as you can ;)

That's exactly what I was thinking! Getting the endings to flow together is becoming the hardest part so far.

would greenlight that shit

Yay! Thanks!

If you are releasing on steam,will it be paid? if so,how much?

It will most likely be paid, and it's way too early to decide on a price. I'd want it to feel worth it, so it should def be reasonable.

Great news. I somehow saw this coming. I'm not even sad that the 6th will be the final one, because if what you're saying about the size of the game is true, I would rather have a massive final game than many 'smaller' games like FtC. So yeah, I'm sure whatever you do will be perfect. Although I'm a PC gamer, I NEVER bought a game on steam, but I will most definitely buy the Henry finale. And I know this is really early to ask, but when can we expect it to be done? Probably not this year, but 2 years, 3, 4, what do you think?

It's really hard to tell right now but definitely over a year. I would HOPE not 4! so... somewhere in between ;)

Also, I somehow feel like this post title is a hint.... :)

I'll never tell.

Ugh....the teleporter again....that thing is getting old.....

Just kidding. The teleporter is the best thing that ever happened to Henry Stickmin.

If only he could figure out how to work it

Holy Crap!
This is gonna be insane!
Just like I said though, I will be buying it!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I'll do me best!

One one hand, I'm sad because it's the end of the decade long Henry legacy, on the other, I'm glad that it's gonna be the greatest game yet.
So, should I be sad or happy?
...
I need a hug now

One hug dispensed...
I would say be bittersweet happy!

I have played every single Henry Stickman game from the whole series so far. I am very curious as to what the 6th game will have to offer in the near future. I love your games, keep up the great work. :)

I am pretty curious as well ;)

This is terrible... The 6TH GAME is gonna be the FINAL GAME... Such an unlucky number.. Henry has brought many laughs and stomachaches to me and others across the world of the interwebs, so it's sad to see it go out at the start of this new year. Though Henry may be going out of commission, I and many others hope to see more content from you and a very unlikely successor to Henry the Stickmanth. Thank you for providing this hilarious "Choose" your own path game that has been running strong for so many years.

Best Wishes,

Mac~

P.S: I hope to see a reference from a certain youtuber who doesn't really like having the "6th" sense in their life, which includes always being in 6th in wacky races or... Just anything that's 6th.

6 is an unlucky number? Nawwwww.

LAST? :'( I loved the series, first found escaping the prison on lapoo.com, and shortly after I discovered the whole series. I'll miss exploring the new games :(

Well, if it's your last, might as well make it HUGE! I mentioned a couple of times about the 'bending'... I wanna see the remaining water, fire and air. Also, I want to see as little coming as possible. I mean, teleporter always fails, but that's pretty much all I want to expect (if you can help it). And can we see different modes for different endings? As in, one for convict allies, another for ghost inmate (where ellie has escaped and gone to seek revenge ("Ellie will remember thet")) If it's too much, that's fine. There are a few characters I wanna see re-appear too: Charles "THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAAAAAAA-" lol, also wanna see Dave, the cop that lost the trial in legal/lame ending and the warden. Obvs this is too much to ask, but can you at least try?

One last request, this is going to be a weird one: I want Henry to die in at least one of the endings (yes, I know, the betrayed, but I always thought him alive), just to add a twist. Or at least feel genuinely guilty and genuinely give himself up. THAT would be interesting.

Like I said, I know it's too much to ask, but these are just my thoughts, I know whatever you make will be amazing, like if this was braniac science (dunno if you've ever seen it), this would be the biggest bang ever.

I will see what I can do. I've got a lot of stuff planned already :D
