- Digital Soundtrack, Artbook, Ringtone and Wallpapers are now available! - 27 January 2016
Dear Woolfe Backers, While physical rewards started to ship just before Christmas, our team has been hard at work this January to finish up some of the digital rewards for backers. We are now happy to announce that those who backed at the RATMAN level and above will have received an email detailing how to claim downloads for the Original Soundtrack, Ringtone, Wallpapers and Artbook. You will need to log in to our service using the same email that you used for Kickstarter. This email also contains instructions on how to access and download your rewards from our Rebellion ID service We know many of you had waited patiently for these rewards, so we hope you’ll enjoy listening and viewing these artistic pieces. Of course if you have any issues or are having trouble accessing your rewards, feel free to contact us at [email protected] From everyone at Rebellion, we hope you enjoy…

- Boxed Game, Artbook and poster add ons shipping before Christmas! - 21 December 2015
http://i.imgur.com/bdSZDm4.jpg Dear Woolfe backers, When Rebellion acquired Woolfe back in October we promised we’d honour as many of the digital and physical rewards as possible, and we kicked off the process of packing, labelling (and envelope-licking!) in November, shipping out the first wave of outstanding posters, stickers and certificates. But we have some more great news to finish the year off! Our in-house art team have been busy creating both a stunning, custom-designed Boxed version of the game, and also a Hardcover Artbook which were originally offered as optional “Add ons” to backers of the Kickstarter campaign. Not only are these now designed and printed, but we have started shipping them to all the appropriate backers - this means some of you may even get all your rewards in time for Christmas! And if that’s simply too far away, you can check out this video we made with ou…

- And so it begins - Rewards are starting to ship! - 4 November 2015
Hello everyone! It’s been a couple of weeks since we at Rebellion announced our big Woolfe news and made the pledge to try and deliver all the physical Kickstarter rewards that you, the backers, are due. Today we’re delighted to say we’ve begun the process of sending out rewards! https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/004/835/528/e1b31b0c275f31a1f94833894f858070_original.jpg?v=1446645662&w=639&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=2cb00c33640376b86f742b142c1a038b Now, when we say “the process,” we’re talking about something that isn’t going to take place over a few days. To give you a rough idea, we’ve started sending out Woolfe poster packs as well as letters containing official documents of enlistment and limited edition stickers. With the latter, there are actually more than 1,100 letters for us to send out – by hand! And we have a limited team organizing everything and making sure rewards go out to…

- Rebellion acquires Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries, promises to honor backer rewards - 21 October 2015
Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries, a platformer based on a dark retelling of the Red Riding Hood fairy tale, drew in $72,000 on Kickstarter , well over its $50,000 goal. But it ultimately came to grief: The first episode was released in March to less-than-enthusiastic reviews, and a few months later, developer GriN Multimedia pulled the plug, saying that it could neither finish the game nor deliver the Kickstarter rewards. It was an ugly ending by any measure. Today, however, the news got a whole lot better, as UK-based developer Rebellion announced that it has acquired Woolfe from GriN. Even better, it will attempt to fulfill all outstanding Kickstarter rewards, despite not receiving any of the funds raised by the campaign. "We're really keen to do the right thing by the Woolfe backers," Rebellion CEO and Creative Director Jason Kingsley said. "Just because we've joined the Woolfe project m…
- Welcome to the Rebellion family! - 21 October 2015
http://i.imgur.com/Mrw6uhI.jpg Dear Kickstarter backers and owners of Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries In August, GRIN’s founder Wim Wouters wrote a brave and searingly honest statement about the sad closure of the studio and the end of Woolfe as they knew it. If you missed this, then we highly recommend you read Wim’s post before continuing. But in summary, GRIN was unable to continue as a business and had to apply for bankruptcy, and so Woolfe (and everything related to the game) was put up for sale at auction. It has been a difficult time for those involved with Woolfe and for you, the backers, but today we’re writing to tell you that Woolfe is still alive, and now in the hands of a new owner, Rebellion– that’s us! We’re delighted to add Woolfe’s gorgeous, twisted universe to our burgeoning list of indie games and we hope you’ll join us for the ride. You’re still probably wondering what…

- GAME OVER - 10 August 2015
It’s done, there is no way back. We tried, we failed. The team is now dismantled and we have requested bankruptcy unable to pay outstanding bills. I guess our public silence the last few months already said a lot. It is not out of disrespect that our communication dropped to almost zero… it is out of shame. It is truly devastating to read the negative comments we received by some press and players. With Woolfe being the most passion driven thing we have ever created, it feels horrible to live with the feeling we let you down. Once the sales numbers began rolling in, the consequences of our beautiful adventure started to become painfully clear. This is not just the end of Woolfe, but the end of the studio that I founded and nurtured through ups and downs the past 13 years. In 2002, when I founded GRIN with 2 partners, it was our goal to develop independant games. At the time we were focu…

- We hear you! - 27 March 2015
It’s just over a week since we launched Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries on Steam. We have received a lot of constructive feedback on how we might improve the game, for which we thank you. Update incoming Today we hope to show you that our team of 6 have been (and still are) listening to your ideas. Instead of taking a little rest after release, we have been working hard to fix bugs, add polish and even integrate some new elements. Yes, we now have lip-sync in the cutscenes where Red actually talks, but also new kill and die animations and effects, fixes in subtitles, difficulty based checkpoints and more... The complete change-log will be available in our discussion forums once the build is live! We have noticed that some of you have troubles with Red grabbing pipes and ledges. This is identified as a performance issue. Please consult our post about checking and optimizing performance on…

- A "SHORT" THANK YOU - 19 March 2015
Hi, my name is Wim Wouters. Many of you know me already, but for those of you who don't, I am the founder of GRIN. This will be my first "personal" public post on our Steam page. First of all, I would like to take the opportunity to express how proud I am of our small team for pulling off what we just did. For the last year and a half we have been working with a core team of 2 artists, 2 programmers and one writer to create Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries. It has been a real roller-coaster of emotions and challenges, but we survived them all. Nobody in our team has ever worked on a project of this scale and I believe every single one of them has exceeded themselves. So once again: Thank you for your wonderful work! Ever since we started development on Woolfe, our nicest compliment but also our heaviest burden has been the HIGH EXPECTATIONS we seem to have created. This is of course fantas…

- All systems go - 17 March 2015
Fastening our seatbelts. You too? http://woolfegame.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/LAUNCH-image.jpg WE LAUNCH TODAY AT 9 AM PDT (5 PM CET) Keep an eye on: http://www.woolfegame.com It’s D-day, you guys... After a lot of blood, sweat and tears we’re counting down the hours to the official release of our big bad Woolfe. To say that we’re excited and shitting our pants would be an understatement. As we speak, we’re trying to distract ourselves by cleaning out the studio (believe us, it was necessary :-). Later today, we have a bunch of people coming over to celebrate the official release with us. We’ll propose a Twitch toast as well, so feel free to join us for a short livestream and a virtual Belgian beer. The more, the merrier! Join the Woolfe Pack for a celebratory Twitch Toast: TUESDAY MARCH 17th at 1 PM PDT (9 PM CET) http://www.twitch.tv/WoolfeGame And, yes, this might sound a bit chees…
