Hey all! We've just finished creating a system to localize all the bits of text in Action Henk to different languages. With this system in place we're now looking for languages to translate to! However, we're not as multilingual as we'd like to be, we don't know languages other than English and Dutch. So we're looking for people to work with us to translate a couple of sheets of text. Do you wa…

We’ve moved some of the existing levels to this new disco environment and made a few new levels, too. The final level in the disco-themed batch will introduce Henk’s sensei, Neil. Beat him to unlock him as a…
Hey everyone! I've got a couple of things I'd like to share with you. First off, the next update is going to be delayed by approximately two weeks. Boooh :( The reason for that might cheer you up though: the delay is because we're working on a level editor! :D Now we'd like to invite a couple of people who'd like to test and break the editor before it goes live. This gives us the opportunity to…
