The Albino Hunter
World's Totally Most Unnecessary Announcement
...But I don't really have anything to say...so...um...hello. :D *waves* How are you?
Do you like cupcakes? I like cupcakes. I make cupcakes with my mom every so often. But last night we made muffins instead. It's my friend's birthday today, and she likes my mom's muffins, so we made her a bunch of muffins.
"Muffins" is a funny word, now that I think about it. "Muffins." Sounds so tasty.
Ah well. I prefer cupcakes. They taste nicer. And I found the book "What's Up, Cupcake" a while back, so we've been making cupcakes with fancy designs with our Rudimentary 3D Art Skills. They've been great for family gatherings...which have become less frequent due to Covid, but that's life.
Mmmm... Cupcakes... ːtigerinablanketː
Steam Key Giveaway is Really Closed This Time
If you're one of those people who still didn't manage to make it in time, then...well...the Revamp just went on sale. It's the main reason I wanted to close this offer in the first place, because I don't want to be taken advantage of by people who've never even heard of the game before. If you still want the Revamp, would you please consider supporting me financially? :( Remaking this game all but bankrupted me, guys... It'd be nice to make some of my money back...

You Guys Win: Steam Key Offer Back On (Temporarily)
...Then I sign on today and find 14 Comments left by people who apparently didn't get the memo because of Steam's Stupid Faulty Notification System. ːsteamfacepalmː
*SIGH*
Okay, guys. You can have the keys too. It's not your fault you weren't notified. Just reach out to me like the others with a friend request, and I'll give you guys keys too. I ain't playin' favourites.
...Just know that this really IS my last offer. -.- I'd like to make SOME money on this revamp...
(And I'm posting this as an announcement so that HOPEFULLY YOU'LL ALL BE NOTIFIED ABOUT IT UNLIKE THE OTHER 10 TIMES STEAM'S BEEN STUPID TO ME.)
[EDIT]
Offers now closed for good this time: https://steamcommunity.com/games/355520/announcements/detail/4992805031276799201
Revamp Steam Key Offer is Now Closed
BIG FAT MONDO UPDATE...With Some Terrible News...(Update Video #12)
I’m going to update my game! I can do that over winter break, right? :D
{SIX YEARS LATER…LITERALLY.}
*Sobs relentlessly.*
*Cough.* Hiiii! A new update video! And a new YouTube Channel! …I forgot my password. It was really embarrassing...
But I’m BAAAACCCKKKKK! You’d thought you’d gotten rid of me, hadn’t you?! Nope! I’m still around! If you felt that took too long, then congratulations! You now know what it’s like to read one of my fanfics!
ANYWAY, it’s been a while! But I finally, finally, FINALLY finished my game! ...Again! Mostly! I…could kinda use a pixel artist or two to help me make my game not look like a blurry mess? And a programmer would be really, really nice too.
*Cough.* So, what’s new? Well, first of all, after much deliberation, I’ve uploaded the revamp as it’s own individual game. (Don’t worry, though. You get the new game for free. [EDIT] OR WILL YOU?!)
But, don’t worry. If you want to pay me more, then you totally can with the new Optional Additional Payment System! So now you can pay me exactly how much or how little you want! I’ve had WAY TOO MANY YEARS TO THINK ABOUT THIS, GUYS! But I THINK I’VE FINALLY FOUND A WAY TO MAKE ALL OF YOU HAPPY WITH THIS!
YOU’RE WELCOME.
[EDIT]
Or that was the plan. But then stupidity happened. Watch 1:39 to 3:27 in the video to see what I mean. Looks there is no possible way for me to give the game to all of you at the same time, like I had intended to. Sorry about that. As you can see, there is literally nothing I can do about it.
If you think you should get the revamp for free, like some of you have mentioned in the past, please send me a friend request so I can give you a Steam Key as compensation. Now back to what I had written before this had happened...
Since this revamp has been six years in the making, there are several portions of the game that were changed. (Obviously.) For the most part I tried not to censor anything, but some parts of the game have been heavily rewritten. For example, the Unworn Wedding Dress Quest is now given to you by Robert, instead of Ganguro. And I’ve completely dismantled the Frankfert Quest in favour of something a little more…logical? You'll see what I mean if you replay it.
With that said, with great rewrites come great new opportunities! So behold! A total of 24 new achievements have been added, which include 3 New Endings! Well, uh, sort of. One of them is just if you lose the Final Battle. But uh…the other two are completely new! So that’s something!
And let’s say you’re one of those people who encountered a teensy iddy biddy tiny winy glitch that caused the game to crash during the original. It wasn’t a big deal. It’s not like many of you found it or anything.
But, in the event that you were completely burned by how the old Battle System was, then worry no more! Introducing Pacifist Mode! The mode where you can skip almost every with the assumption that you win. And I say “almost” because you can’t use it during the Five Trials Quest. Or the insta-death battles. But apart from that, you can skip every single battle; including the bosses. Yes, you heard that right. All the bosses are now entirely optional. Because I know that, frankly, some of you have much better things to do with your time than spend three months grinding for some stupid battle you never really wanted to do in the first place...ULTIMA WEAPON.
This has actually been a new feature for a while now, as I added it just after my last video update. It was a feature that I was going to mention in the next update video, but, um…I didn't get around to making it until now.
Oh, and the game doesn’t break if you skim through the cutscenes, anymore. So now you can totally speedrun this game! FINALLY! JUST WHAT EVERYONE WAS ALWAYS ASKING! YOU CAN NOW DO SPEEDRUNS!
(Literally nobody was asking for this.)
And who knows? Maybe this version of the game won’t act up and corrupt video files of well-meaning Let's Players this time around!
…And if it makes your Anti-Virus go off, then I SWEAR, I’ll—
Anyway, I really do hope that my game is finished this time. Like, I’m not even you guys and even I think this is ridiculous. Like, I would, ideally, like to update the graphics and the program a little bit behind the scenes, but I can live with these things for now, because last April I was finally able to play the game from beginning to end without it crashing. Yes. It’s taken me THAT LONG to do that. I really, really want this game to be done so I can move on with my life!
But that doesn’t mean that you've necessarily heard the last from me. While working on the Revamp has kinda been my main priority, I have been working on some other stuff behind the scenes. NOT VIDEOGAMES. I am kinda done with them right now because I am so frustrated. But I managed to put together a Graphic Novel, and I'm hoping to maybe, one day get two T.V. Shows out there? Maybe?
I would say I would want them on Netflix, except, um, Netflix doesn’t have the best reputation for that kind of thing. >.> *HackCoughCowboyBebopHackCough*
So, if you’ve enjoyed my game, I would appreciate it if you would help me out with my future endeavours. Honestly, that would mean the world to me.
Either way, sorry for the RIDICULOUSLY long delay, (and the fact that Steam refuses to let me give you free stuff for no discernible reason) but I hope the end result was worth it! Happy gaming~ :3
Remember That Time When Jacob Made My Game?

I recently reached out to our Lizard Toting Developer in question on his thoughts on the revamp, and he had this to say... https://twitter.com/JCube256/status/1472222137272438787
Just four more days!
ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL THE REVAMP IS OUT OF VIDEO GAME PRISON!

Revamp Demo Now Avaliable!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1832380/The_Albino_Hunter_Revamp/
Well, after much fiddling, the Demo is ready for action! You can now play it to get a general feel for what the revamp looks like!
THE REVAMP IS FINALLY HERE...SORT OF!
Steam: It's been over six years. We don't do that anymore.
Me: Oh... Okay... Um... I can still try and get it out before Black Friday, right?
*TWO WEEKS OF BUREAUCRACY LATER.*
Hi. My game is done. I even made a cool update video explaining everything. Unfortunately, Steam now insists on making every new release wait two weeks before launching, so while I want to give everything to you all now, I'm not allowed to. (And for the sake of making the video make sense, I'm not going to show it to you either.)
Here is thine link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1832380/The_Albino_Hunter_Revamp/?beta=0
See you on December 23. Because life hates me.
[EDIT]
Apparently I didn't post this announcement right. I'm reposting it because otherwise PEOPLE WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT! Otherwise, I have nothing new to say. >.>
If You Thought Sitting Through a Tutorial was Bad, Try MAKING One.
(A screenshot of me play-testing the first quest in the game for what is probably the bazillionth time.)
