-Game runs at 16:9 instead of 15:9 aspect ratio now since they never hit the 3DS goal during the kickstarter campaign

So glad this is still happening, I backed it way back when. The dev posts regular stuff on Twitter so I've never been too worried but its always good to get confirmation

Wow this looks amazing, completely missed this.
Also, I read the title as Heart Forth Felicia.

I remember backing for wiiu and 3ds, the latter didn't happen but I have a vita now so it worked out.
No release date yet. Sounds like once we're closer to mid-2017 they might be ready to announce one. Guessing Late Summer/Early Winter 2017.

Guess my Wii U will get some use out of it past Summer.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Man, it's been soooo long. I really hope this thing turns out.

Never heard of this game until today. Nice to know it might come to switch as it looks and sounds great.

cool that they're still committed to the WiiU release
Backer Update #47 - Happy Birthday Edition
Bucking tradition, Alonso has gifted us instead with an extensive look at what they've got cooking. Click the link for all the improvements the HFA team have made to the game in order to make it more player-friendly while also still providing a good challenge for the hardcore lot. Also news on the new Alpha demo for qualifying backers.
And gifs so huge it would be irresponsible to embed them here.

Just got the update in my email. Downloaded the demo but I haven't been able to try it.
Looking forward to reading impressions here. I hope it's compatible with Xbox 360 controller.

This looks really cool, never heard of this before. Already disappointed to hear that it'll be released "well into 2018" at the earliest. Also surprising that it's still coming to Wii U. Will it be the last Wii U game? I gotta wonder if the Wii U eShop will even be up by the time it releases.
Fuck yeah, I get to play this finally.
Well, they offered it on Wii U, it's hard to say "we're late, so we ditched the Wii U version". They're a bunch of honest and enthousiast folks.
I wonder if they'll do a new poll for platforms for backers. I think I have something like Wii U + Vita + PC, that may not be the most convenient solution. I'd welcome it on Switch.

I mean it's only a matter of time before they have to move Wii U development to Switch out of market necessity at this point.
That said I had Wii U + Vita tier.

I backed for wiiu and then further funded to help get the 3ds goal
They didn't
So I was gonna give away a pc code
Then I got a vita
And now I don't want the game on wiiu
So if a switch version doesn't happen I'll get the game on vita and pc.
Funny how life works

I don't understand why someone would make a 2D platform type game in 2017 that you can't control with the D-Pad. Is there some trick I'm missing to binding it?
Walking/running, I guess, but is this really not an option?

We're working on releasing a patch within the next couple of days to fix some gamepad issues people were having, including the d-pad issue. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Also, thanks for keeping this thread alive!

Hey, that's great to have news directly from the boss...
Happy backer here, though I've carefully avoided any build so that I can enjoy the game as you envisioned it when it's done. But I'd like to take this chance to thank you (and all the team) for all this work and the updates. I'm glad you can bring this to fruition, and it looks great (and I'm sure it plays great too). But don't waste your health on this
Haven't played this in wait for the full thing. As long as the intention is to get it made I don't really care how long it takes, or even if it ends up not being completed in the end. I don't understand people who are inpatient or angry when things fall apart when it's clear the developers did their best to get it made. Not that I've seen a lot of it in this project, just usually how things are on Kickstarter. Take care of your health first and make the game when you're feeling better.

Honestly, when I first saw HFA on Twitter in 2015, I got a Vita. It was one of the game's that sold me on the system (which has gotten a ton of love from me since then). Even if it's 2019, this game is part of my destiny. I can't wait to finally play it. What a long awaited joy.

Sorry for the really delayed response. We had a big earthquake on the 19th that left me without power for 8 days and showed me how fragile everything is. Everyone I know is fine, in case you're wondering.
We uploaded a patch to the Backer's Club site with most of the reported gamepad issues fixed. It seems one or two buttons in some Logitech gamepads cannot be mapped, so we'll look into that.
