We hope you had fun solving our codes, because things are about to get more heated around here :)
A quick update on what’s changed - we’re still racking our heads over the mission progress panel on the bottom left.
In our last update we mentioned a shift towards 2D instead of juggling both 3D and 2D. This interface looks pretty neat to me, but what do you think? If you’ve any suggestions, pop by our discord!
As the older twin, Ren’s the more level-headed one of the duo. Still, he can be found superhero-diving at times, saving cats or eggs with guacamole. He would also really rather that mangoes live up to their name and just… man-go.
Stay tuned for our update next week, to learn more about Ren’s arm! He’s really a handful. Or a hand-some, as he says.
Rexa is always having a whale of a time - be it being struck by the beams of inspiration and gaining enlightenment due to her empowered brain cells, or well, enjoying a good apple product. Apple pies, apple juice, apple pudding… Not Apple products, mind you, real apples.
Stay tuned for her grand ambitions, however over-whale-ming they might get :D
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled - we’re releasing the German localisation for HPWTH soon :D Thank you for reading, and as always, ghhs iulhg ryhu erlohg~
Cheers,
The Spud from U.N.C.L.E.

THIS SUMMER - From the producers that brought you potato arms dealers (HPAWS), space colonisation (HPWIS), and cannibalism (HPWTH), comes a thrilling sequel of espionage: Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?!
Meet twins Ren and Rexa in their headquarters, and follow as they untangle the mysteries of an evil spy corporation.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this snippet we created to introduce A Spy Story?! If you’d like to see more, you can head over to our website for a longer interactive cut. As a heads’ up, we’ll be going into greater detail into the characters and their origin stories for our next post!
We’re sorry for the long wait - besides working on this latest game, we’ve also been swamped with other projects; publishing previous titles to PS4 and Switch, getting HPWIS on mobile, localising different languages and so on! Keep your eyes peeled for them, oh, and -
In the meantime, why not join our Discord at https://discord.me/holypotatoes for future giveaways, contests and bragging rights ;)
Plugging aside, we’ll be back with updates every week or so. So here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to in the past week!
Our artists have been hard at work, making our assets sharper! Can you tell the difference between the two buildings? We’ve also undergone a resizing - scaling every potato-spy, building and tree to proportion. The downsizing also makes it easier to click on different buildings now!
Concerns regarding the potato sprites’ outlines were raised too: due to the use of 3D sprites previously, constant rendering in the game produced image noise. As such, we’re running with 2D sprites instead! Let’s hope they don’t go off the grid!
Here’s to the starch of something great! As always, thank you for reading, and ghhs iulhg ryhu erlohg~
