• Major Expansion v2.0.0 Now Available! - 21 March 2023

  I’m happy to announce the immediate availability of new and expanded content in The Crimping! An entire new world has been added with five unique challenges that will test your skills. I’ve also added several fixes and improvements throughout the whole game. Notable among these are two new in-game menu options: turning off the humorously corny AI voices and turning on “easy mode” (improving jumping, preventing walking off ledges, and making you invincible to most kinds of damage). The game has not only become much larger, but it has also become a fair bit stranger -- and less like a traditional horror game. As a game player, I don’t really play horror games and my experience is largely limited to “horror-adjacent” parts of games like Half-Life 2. A YouTube streamer asked me to make a horror game for him and, on a lark, I decided to give it a try. However, horror really isn’t my jam, alt…

• Huge Changes/Expansion Coming in a Few Days! - 15 March 2023

  Hello and thank you to everyone who has played The Crimping! I've heard you all and it seems the #1 thing you'd like me to change or improve about my game is to expand it out! I care about your feedback and want to let you know that I've been working on a very large expansion of the game that will greatly increase your playtime (with hand-crafted, Mama-made content, of course!). You can expect its release in a couple days! Thank you all and please stay tuned!

• It's Ready at Last! - 12 March 2023

  I'm happy to announce that The Crimping is now available to everyone! Thank you so much to all who beta tested and provided feedback. As a solo developer, it was such a delight to interact with all of you! :) It's been such a fun ride since I was challenged in February to make a horror game! Not only was it a delight to work on the game itself, I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Shanghai Tunnels and various hauntings in Portland. I hope everyone who plays my game has as much fun as I did making it!

• Beta Patch 1.0.7 - 9 March 2023

  Thank you so much to all of the beta-testers for your work in making this game so much more polished and fun than it would have otherwise been. My heartful thanks goes out to you! In the next patch, I will include all of your names in the credits, so please get your desired credited name to me if you haven't already. In this patch, I've added: 12 new Steam Achievements! (you may need to restart Steam to see them) Numerous QoL improvements such as a new cutscene movement hold icon, lower main menu sound, and not requiring re-listening to the crimper's log if you die in the tunnels A few big fixes or adjustments such as preventing the fire light from confusing players as to the location of the fire. Thank you again!

• Beta Patch 1.0.4 - 6 March 2023

  In this patch you'll find additional performance settings, some QoL changes like an in-game volume adjuster, fixes for a couple unusual soft-locking bugs, and some new challenges in the last part of the game. Thank you so much to all the wonderful beta-testers!

• Beta Patch 1.0.2 - 4 March 2023

  Thank you so much to all the beta testers who have already started to give feedback! I’ve made a number of small changes and fixes with today’s patch. The most important of these are two quality of life changes: (1) bumping up the brightness of the game quite a lot and (2) adding a settings menu to change windowing mode, graphical quality, and audio volume level. I also wrote code to add some additional settings like custom key bindings and fine tuned visual quality, but I still need to finish the UI for these. Thanks again to everyone who’s tested and those who are planning to test this weekend!
