February 28, 2019 10:42 am CST
We are very excited to have released the Print-and-Play version of House of Possession yesterday to the First Escape Attempt - Second Floor backers. There were a few late nights there at the end, but it is worth it when you can make that check mark and move on to the next step.

Another milestone we hit was providing the final character desc ...

In the next several weeks, we’ll be opening the Kickstarter for House of Possession. So, I thought this was a wonderful time to introduce the Primary Artist for this project, Alejandro Castillo.

A few months ago, we sent out a request for artist submissions to help us finish our House of Possession game. During this process, we considered over f ...

HoP: Developer's Blog #5

It's been way longer since the last developer blog than I had intended but we have been supper busy keeping all these projects moving forward. So I hope you'll accept my apology, Gamers!

Last time I wrote about HoP I mentioned that we had solved our play time issues. House of Possession is definitely a primer game. Well I am happy to add to that t ...

HoP: Developer's Blog #4
June 16, 2015 11:13 pm CDT
It's that time again and I have good news. In the last HoP blog post, I was complaining about our game play times. I'm happy to say that, after a few minor tweaks and a lot more testing, our times are now well within the primer game range. With this fix, we can stop worrying about whether or not this is really a primer game and focus on continued t ...

May 27, 2015 12:56 am CDT
I'll start this blog post by complaining! While I'm happy that we have released the site to the public and I'm happy that we have entered the beta stage of House of Possession, I'm not happy with our play times yet. I know I'm not supposed to talk about the "bad stuff" but:

1. It's the truth.
2. It's OK - we'll fix it!

So the problem we'r ...

I've just received some great news, we'll be opening the doors to the Crypt Monkey Games site within the next two weeks!

We are really close but this will be another short blog be ...

So I'm really excited, to start with! As I write this, we haven't fully opened the doors to our games site yet but I know now that HoP is greenlit to move past alpha! We are nearing the end of alpha testing now. By the time the games site is open and you can actually read this first ever designer's blog for House of Possession, it will officially b ...
