- A new game I made just came out. It's called Dead Horizon. It's pretty cooool. - 12 August 2017
Today my new PC game, Dead Horizon, releases. It's very different from Boon Hill, which was odd... I am sitting here, unable to sleep, because I have to figure out some way to convince everyone out there on the collective “internet” to play it... or my effort over the past six months has been wasted. I don't know how to do that. So, I'm going to try something. Something that I've always been told is the absolute worst thing you can do. I'm going to be 100% honest. I'm going to be completely open about how afraid I am. How afraid I am of YOU specifically, and what you might think of my game. Well, let's begin. How do I get you to care? Steven Martin would say “Be so good they can't ignore you”, Which is such an easy thing to tell people when you're already successful. Not that I'm not successful. You see, I write video games for a living. Millions of people have played games I've worked…

- I left a comment on all reviews, images, and posts! - 23 June 2017
In celebration of the steam summer sale, for which, if history has taught me anything I will sell tens of copies of this game. I've made a comment on all posts, screen shots, and reviews. Most of them don't say much of anything. Thanks for everyone who paid money for this game. You're all very strange. -Always The Boon Hill Team

- DLC now downloadable. Really? that seems like the DLCs been out awhile for that to be the case... hmmm... - 22 June 2017
So, Apparently for a long time you couldn't download the music DLC if you bought it. Yeesh. The fact that no one who did this then gave me a bad review is a testament to just how awesome humans are. It was like that for six months, and I know, as I have the analytical right here, that roughly 1,000 people got shafted on the music. I'm so sorry. You should be able to get it now. The soundtrack is amazing and I'm terrible for not getting this fixed sooner. There's no excuse. Other than all the excuses. -Always and forever with regrets for everything The Boon Hill Team

- No more ghost trees! Now at half price! - 8 August 2016
There was another update I meant to use for this but there was a SNAFU with steam. So, now it's happening now, way later! Uh, yeah. The ghost tree issue has been fixed. Hopefully no one runs into any more but feel free to message us if you do. As they have been exorcised all is well! Also, Boon Hill is half off for the week. So, if five dollars was too much for you... uh... Honestly, if five dollars was too expensive for you I'm not sure 2.50 will sound better. If it does, enjoy Boon Hill! -Always The Boon Hill Team

- Tree Ghosts no Longer Haunt the Graveyard! - 23 June 2016
Welcome those that live and walk, -Small patch but still. Apparently there was an issue with... tree ghosts. Strange instances where things would pop up on the map in the middle of nowhere you couldn't walk through. It has hopefully been fixed! May the ghosts of trees never haunt your graveyard exploration again! -Issue where a very small number of players say they get stuck in the first tree... still happens. Seriously, I don't know what causes it and why only on a TINY number of games. Less than 1% of users it seems. Enjoy not bumping into invisible trees this summer? -Always The Boon Hill Team

- Death is funny. Death is really really funny. - 25 February 2016
...it just isn't fun. That statement has gotten me in a lot of trouble before. Claiming death is funny. People always give me odd looks or shake their heads. Yet the same people often laugh when a death fueled joke hits them just right. Indiana Jones shoots a man dead - often hailed as one of the best gags of all time. No, we're not morbid monstrous demons. It's about surprise and expectation. The laughter comes from the set up of the situation and how what happens isn't what we think will happen. Something that surprises a person evokes an emotional reaction. Fear is common if we feel threatened; laughter is common if we feel relived. Nothing is more surprising than death. Even the slow hand of disease. It feels wrong. I've lost a lot of loved ones in my life. I've stood by my share of hospital beds and I've gotten my share of phone calls at odd times. I go through a pretty predictable…

- Boon Hill Patch 1.1.2 Live! FOR JUSTICE! - 15 February 2016
A small patch has gone live fixing a few issues. Mostly with the front office area of Boon Hill. Specific fixes include... It is harder to get stuck in the wall of the office. Still possible if you really wish to attempt it. The cabinet in the front office now has the history of Boon Hill. The person working in the front office has had their dialogue fixed. Some other boundaries have been fixed. Crow sprites have been made more clear and a rare graphical glitch has been improved. Gravestones never sleep. A few spelling and grammar errors on graves have been fixed. Fixed a small crash bug that I think only annoyed me. Fixed an issue with the menu screen when controlling the sound volume. That is all. If there are any issues or other bugs people notice feel free to leave a comment. Also, I hope all of you lead interesting lives.

Patch Notes: This is a large patch for playability. Shoring up several bugs and making many tiny changes to improve the overall experience. the overall game is much the same.

Though some controllers will default to being read as an Xbox controller. -Hit detection on walls improved. Should be harder to 'break' out of intended areas. -Several other small bug and control fixes.…

- Boon Hill has trading cards! - 3 November 2015
Greetings those that walk among the living, Welcome to Boon Hill has trading cards. We made them for the game and I didn't realize this wasn't a thing that all games on STEAM did. I plan to edit the game description to mention it. I think they're cute. Sadly, the game will never have achievements. It goes against the core principal of the game and if you won't buy the game because it doesn't have achievements, honestly you probably would not have enjoyed it anyways. That is all! -The Boon Hill Team
