National Park Girls - Episode 2: Happy Trails Will Release on October 21st
Hey everyone, Syon here!

We're a little past our originally planned June release date, so I should probably apologize for that. There were a lot of art delays and programming issues we had to work out over this period. Unintended consequences of having an episodic release schedule.

That said, I'm happy to announce to you all that National Park Girls - Episode 2: Happy Trails will be releasing on Steam on October 21st, 2019. Just one weeks away! The Steam page is already up for your wishlisting pleasure, so you can head on over there to check that out as you count down the days to release.

We might've had some delays, but the future for NPG is definitely bright. Onward to Episode 2 and beyond!

Patch Notes 9/25/2019
Hey everybody, we pushed a big NPG update yesterday in preparation for Episode 2. The biggest thing to note is that we've taken out the 3D Camera and reanimated all sprite, pans, and zooms. This was done because the 3D Camera had a history of breaking saves during updates, which would have presented a problem for future episode releases.

The rest are pretty self-explanatory, save for the credits button. Right now it doesn't do anything, but it will be functional when Episode 2 releases.


  • Moved the skip and auto icons to the other side of the screen.
  • Reanimated episode 1 to use standard movement.
  • Added in infrastructure for future episode content delivery.
  • Add a currently non functional credits button to the main menu.

National Park Girls Episode 2 Update + Next Episode Preview
Hey everyone, Syon here.

Sorry for the silence on our end when it comes to Episode 2 updates. We recently made an announced on our Twitter and our Patreon that Episode 2 would be delayed from June to sometime later in the Summer. Again, I'm really sorry about this. Steam announcements tend to get neglected in the PR rush.

But yeah, unfortunately, Episode 2 has been pushed back due to delays with the art. Worry not, though! Satchel is free to work on art once again, so production is going back to zipping along.

In the meantime, however, check out this nifty next episode preview narrated by Yellowstone! I hope it gives you a taste of what to expect in Episode 2!

Patch Notes 3/20/19
A new patch for Episode 1 went live today. Mostly just some bug fixes, though some assets and writing were tweaked to help support future elements of the story and the VN's overall development.

- Fixed bug that caused pressing F1 to crash the game
- Fixed Exit not working on Gallery and Episode screens
- Fixed music loops for Devastation and Cabin Fever
- Yosemite's box of research now says "MIWOK" instead of "ACHAWEE"

Distribution for Future Episodes
Hey everyone, Syon here. I'm the director and head scenario writer on National Park Girls. Each and every one of us at Studio Coattails hope you enjoyed National Park Girls Episode 1. and we thank you for the successful release.

If you're already feeling those post-NPG blues, then don't worry. I'm here to give you a thorough explanation for what our plan is in regards to future episodes.

Right now, we're all working very hard to make sure that there's only a three month wait between episodes of National Park Girls. So in an ideal world, our release schedule looks like this:

Episode 1 - March 14th, 2019 (RELEASED)
Episode 2 - June, 2019
Episode 3 - September, 2019
Episode 4 - December, 2019
Episode 5 - March, 2020

The plan is for there to be five episodes in total, all similar in length to Episode 1. Of course, plans may change depending on fan feedback, and development is a fickle process and releases could always be delayed, but we're going to try our hardest to stick to this schedule.

Each new episode of National Park Girls will be available as DLC. Each episode will be priced at $4.99. In the future, there will be an option to purchase a bundle with all five episodes. More news on that down the road.

For now, we hope you continue to look forward to the adventures and hijinks of Eve and her new Park Girl friends!
