The Halloween 2022 Pupdate

Happy Howloween!


Today we're thrilled to release the MASSIVE expansion pupdate that we've been working on for about a year. A lot of the feedback we've received sounds something like, "This is pretty fun, I just wish there was more..." After talking through all our ideas for additional content, we decided to add... well, basically everything! Here's a few highlights of the expansion:

New Quests:


With the addition of new costume-specific quests, we've more than DOUBLED the number of quests in the adventure!

New Locations:


With new things to do, you'll need new places to see! The map is roughly triple the size of the original design with even more candy to find.

New Characters:


And of course Halloween is nothing without a whole host of creepy characters. Introduce yourself to over 10 new characters that all hate Principal Lester as much as the kids.

And much more:


New & improved cutscenes, enhanced sound effects, additional dialogue, and bug fixes are just the tip of the gummy corn for this massive expansion.

Our tiny team here has put all our candy on the table for this one and we really hope you enjoy the new Howloween Hero. We've had an absolute blast working on this game and hope it brings an extra smile to your Halloween.

Major Patch 1
Here is a list of some of the QOL updates we are putting into this first Major patch!

1) Some BAD localization added for French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.
a) We WILL be working on making these localizations better, but we wanted it to be playable for non-english speakers. If you are so inclined to help us with any translations, please let us know in the discussion boards!
2) New Title screen, no longer a video, but a 3D environment with your dog onscreen in their costume. (Note, this only works with a new save file, so if coming from an old version, the dog will be naked until going into the game)
3) Sprinting added
4) Characters turn their heads to look at LilPup
5) Bug fixes when giving items, and items spawning after being used.
6) More dynamic environment pieces (eyes and doors).
7) Refactored Pause Screen. No longer to include quests or How To Play screen.
8) Added Collections Screen. This includes quests, collected badges, as well as collected costumes.
9) Controller Vibration
10) Optimizations of LODS, Culling, materials, and textures.
11) Resolution, full screen, and quality settings added.
12) Dialogue updates.
13) Trick or treat characters no longer pause in the middle of their animations as they are talking to you.

Mac OSX support and Major Patch 1

Small Bug Fixes 3
Here is the list of bug fixes and improvements made:

  • NPCs should no longer fly away (hopefully)
  • Final costume should always unlock once you have bought all other costumes
  • Settings on title screen
  • More items
  • Fix bug where music doesn't trigger at start
  • No longer can pause in credits
  • Better controller UI navigation
  • Unloading back to main menu should be MUCH faster
  • Better performance on title screen

Small Bug Fixes 2
It was said that you could potentially not unlock achievements for collecting all the street candy, and picking up 30 items. These should be fixed, and if they don't fire. It should be able to fire if you exit to the main menu and select "Continue Game." From here, it should be able to use your save data to determine if the achievement should be unlocked.
