Sprites: Erin Roth

Erin is a tricky girl, she loves to hide, spy, sneak, and generally be her invisible self. If she WANTS you to see her, if she thinks you're worth her time, she might let you take a peak. You've probably seen her in earlier pictures green with a black crest (That's Erin Roth 1).

She's been taking longer to integrate into HTH because she's partially a puzzle, as she prefers to stalk the halls invisibly. She also relates to character interactivity and relationships as she won't interact with...

The more enemies you explode into little dust particles, the better weapons upgrades you get. Protect the station, get high scores, impress the guys and girls watching you kick alien ass!

Arcade: Terran Elite

Here's a peek at the Arcade game Terran Elite. It's a side scrolling shooter with a feel of Gradius. There are some HTH characters that visit the arcade that have their own high scores in the system. If you beat those scores, you'll be able to unlock special scenes with the character.

In this game, you get to choose your ship, upgrade your weapons, while you navigate through 7 unique zones and an increasing variety of obstacles, while trying to earn bonuses and staying alive ...

The Mystery of Floor 5 Revealed!

The reason Floor 5 of The Tower is closed is because that's where the arcade will go! Here's a shot of the floor. No characters (yet) but the arcade cabinets are set up. As we get more games we'll fill up the Arcade with more variety of cabinets.

No the floor is not yet accessible in game, but since we've got this Patreon going, now's a perfect time to let you in on what's been worked on behind the scenes. There are 3 arcade games in the works. I'll be posting more info on each of t...
