Red Haze's final big update I hope to release before the end of the year once have worked out some things, but have started active work on "Arctic Haze", the sequel to Red Haze. The above are 4/6 of the main characters and one of several dozen monsters to appear within the game.
Arctic Haze stars Lumi, who after the recent suicide of one of her closest friends and growing stresses in the demanding life of the city, has moved in with her ailing grandmother on a remote lakeside island. However, in the middle of summer a sudden freak snowstorm spurs, and with it strange monsters begin to crawl out of the cold. Unprepared for this, the grandmother's health takes a toll and becomes in desperate need for medical attention. Can Lumi find help for her while making her way through a surreal horror that begins to ensnare the island? Can Lumi save her grandmother, and survive the harsh and horrific climate?
Of course, there's more to all of this than there may at first seem...
The Steam Store Page for Arctic Haze I hope to get up in early November, and I plan to take 'Red Haze's alpha phase' route I did (that lasted for about a year) and spin that into an Early Access build rather than closed alpha/beta. I hope to release Arctic Haze in Early Access in late November or anytime December, then work to release two big updates to the game a month for the next several months and reward early buyers with a few free goodies and over time and updates slowly increasing the price of the game. I want to be clear with my strategy there even ahead of time.
There is a LOT more to this game I'm super excited to share, the coding for plug-ins and features is already done, the OST is complete (and composed of 161 songs and over three hours of music), a lot of the design is going super well, but there's so much more to this project that I want to hold off on sharing for now but am excited for people to discover. I'll keep you guys posted, but thought I should give some early word and teases to those following Red Haze's new feed.
Hope you guys look forward to both the final big content update to Red Haze, and the upcoming Early Access release of Arctic Haze.
