Episode 1 Delayed to November 19th
Unfortunately, we're going to have to push the release date for Shape Shift Shawn Episode 1 back a couple of weeks, to November the 19th.
While it would have been cool to release our Halloween-themed game on Halloween itself, we simply don't have enough time to complete it by the end of October, and we want the game to be as good as possible at release time. Rest assured we'll use the additional time to give Episode 1 the extra amount of polish and care that it deserves.
In the meantime, here are some exciting new screenshots to tide you over!
See you all in November!
