Completing the Mission - The Henry Finale

Posted by PuffballsUnited - May 22nd, 2018


That's right! The last game in the Henry Stickmin series is called Completing the Mission! In case you're not aware, I've been working on the Henry Stickmin Collection, a collection of remastered games, including a final episode. If you want more information you can peruse some previous news posts. Well, It's high time I give you guys an update on progress!

 

to be honest, I'm behind :(

 

but to make up for it here's a screenshot!!

You might've seen this if you went hunting for the leak when I tweeted about it, but now the fail's outta the bag! (I know the map button is not ready yet but pls use your imagination). 

 

So yeah, progress has unfortunately been slow. I haven't been able to put in as much time as I'd like but I'm figuring it out. As for what this does to the release date... I don't really know yet. Once I get into a really good rhythm it'll be easier for me to judge it. To give you some numbers, I'm 21 fails in, so already farther than an Escaping the Prison. I don't have an official planned total amount of fails yet. Some of them haven't even been written!

What's that? You want MORE information? Alright, alright here you go. Completing the Mission is planned to be AROUND 3 times bigger than Fleeing the Complex. That's a lot of paths! Yep, that's what happens when every ending is canon! Also, don't worry, a lot of your favorite characters will definitely be making a return. This includes Ellie, and Charles, as well as many others! I don't wanna give away too much though, there's still a long time to wait until it comes out. Gotta pace myself with the information i reveal.

 

Let's see if I can dig up something else cool to show. Ah here we go, have some of these.

And here, watch this thing too. It doesn't loop well, but it's fun to compare! :) If you listen carefully (maybe with headphones) you can hear I updated all the sounds and added ambience. This has been done to every game.

Super hyped!!! But are you gonna put it on app and play store and charge money for it?

No plans for an appstore release yet. Perhaps down the line? We'll see.

Looks lit,will you be putting it on newgrounds?

Unfortunately not. It will be way too big.

Awesome! You Are A Best!

Thanks man!

I am so hyped for the game. I can't wait to buy it.

Thanks man! I hope it doesn't disappoint!

Breaking the Bank:
Henry gets arrested for attempting to rob a bank out in scenic nowhere.
Escaping the Prison:
Henry escapes from prison thanks to the help of a 'cake' with mysterious origins.
Stealing the Diamond:
Henry steals a huge $12 Million Diamond from the museum when he needs cash.
Infiltrating the Airship:
Henry faces the crossroads of fate when he is forced to breach the Tophat Clan's lair.
Fleeing the Complex:
Henry reveals the true lengths of his trust when a foreign power detains him.
Completing the Mission:
Henry confronts his ultimate destiny in one final dilemma of unpredictability.

I like the description!

@GreenDragon53 @PuffballsUnited

Glad you liked it. I bet the Henry Stickmin Collection will be worth every penny.

I hope so!

So wait, does your choices in the previous games choose what paths you have the ability to go down? Like, if you betray the Official government dudes in Airship, do you not have the option to call them for help when you can choose between the GOv. dudes and the Hat dudes?

I'm not sure how I'm gonna do it yet.

@shyguy1824

I don't think that PuffballsUnited is going to do that. It might take away from the potentially blind experience that some players might have, and it would restrict the experiences that some people would have going through. Decisions made in Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex would easily limit the paths you could witness in Completing the Mission.

However, a "Straight Timeline mode" would be an interesting completion bonus for the players that beat everything and wanted to see the specific timeline branches pan out in detail; if nothing else.

Well the story doesn't make sense if you haven't ever sided with the Toppat clan so I think I need to do something. I think it'll be as long as you've seen the ending you can do that path. It'll take some experimenting though

I think I see the last picture is the map in Ita, but I can only see only three endings at the end. You'll add it, right?

Ah yes, that's a bug.

Looks cool. Have you decided what the price will be?

Not yet

I don't think I've ever been as hyped as I am for a game, haha.

The remaster on the airship is brilliant! I am absolutely loving the skyline for it. The clouds look so smooth and crisp! Definitely keep that cloud design consistent. Looks beautiful.
Also I really like how the map design varies. For stealing the diamond, you've got a blueprints map, which makes perfect sense for the occasion.
For ItA you've got a high tech device to show the map, which is perfect, since now it's a serious government operation.

It's subtle details like that that really make a difference and show that each game has a different specific focus. Very nice job :D

Also, if it isn't a big spoiler, what does 'Ach' and 'Bios' mean?

Incredible work Puff! Definitely keep it up. I am sure it will be worth every penny.

Thanks man! I'm glad these details are being appreciated :)
Ach stands for Achievements. I wont comment on Bios yet though. I'll let everyone speculate for a while ;)

@XtremeElectrix @PuffballsUnited My money’s on Biographies of the characters x3

hmmmm

@GreenDragon53 @PuffballsUnited

Oh, okay.
Though it would also require you to consider other factors.
Ellie will be back in Completing the Mission, so there are easily 3 different reactions she will have when seeing Henry again; one for if they parted as soon as they met, one for if they escaped together, and one for if Henry abandoned her.

The Government is also an important thing to factor in.

But regardless of what you do, I look forward to the grand culmination of all your hard work over the last decade and its magnum opus.

It's complicated but I think I've got a pretty good handle on it. You'll just have to wait and see when it comes out ;)

@Dungeonation @PuffballsUnited

I agree.
Wait, does this mean that we are about to get Henry's origins?!?!?!?
Dang it, E3 was already doing a number on my tolerance to high levels of hype.

I dont think I mentioned anything about that

You think to release on steam? if will be payed.

yes

Wait, I only see the retry button on the fail screen, so that should mean that fail is likely appearing on the first choice.

I got rid of the step back button after ItA. Map is a better version of that

You said Ach stands for achievements, and I can only guess that Bios stands for Biographies, or something like that. I don't know. Or care, to be honest. All I care about is if the game will be excellent. But, as always you will wow me. Even if a joke/reference is dated. I honestly love outdated jokes. Now, I must stop typing because this is a comment, not a review.

Well hopefully you like it all!

Will there be Steam Trading Cards? I need a Level 5 Henry Stickmin badge on my profile!

Super hyped!

That sounds pretty awesome to me, but I don't know how it all works. Def gonna look into it

Oh baby, I looking forward to this. I've been a fan of this serie since 2010

I'm glaD!

Hey Puffball, what's going to make it cost more, the remasters or CtM?

That's a hard question to answer. It's pretty even.
