At long last, our Kickstarter campaign for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is coming to an end! But before we pack it all up and sail into the sunset, we’d like to present with one final surprise: JAMMIES MODE!
Jammies Mode is our way of saying THANK YOU to everyone who supported this campaign! We hope you’ll accept this gift, along with our warmest and most heartfelt appreciation for funding this project. We would never have made this game if it weren’t for you!
On behalf of our Backers, and with the cooperation of our partners at Xseed, Pqube, and Amuzio, we are launching this free content update today on all platforms, all versions, all over the world, to Backers and non-Backers. In this way we hope to spread your generosity to the next generation of Shantae fans!!
Enjoy your free gift, and please pass the goodwill to others!

Welcome friends! Today we’re diving into the Costume Pack DLC! This is the FINAL Stretch Goal for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, and it will be Ret-2-Go in just a few weeks!
This DLC contains three entirely new adventures starring Ninja Shantae, Beach Shantae, and Officer Shantae. Each of these stand-alone modes contains a full “what-if” storyline, new moves, voices, and character artwork. Let’s take a closer look at these flashy game-changing modes!
Update #122! Ninjas, Swimsuits, Officers, Sketches…. the Works!
Happy day to you, Backers! It’s time to unveil the Shantae Backer T-shirt!
For this reward, we reached out to popular Japanese graphic designer “Kentoo” to see if he’d come up with something special for our Backers. He came up with this visually striking design that we feel is as fun, refreshing and unexpected as Shantae herself. We hope you’ll love your shirt as much as we do!
To say that we appreciate you, our Backers, is an understatement. You funded this project, participated in its design, promoted it, and displayed amazing patience and good will throughout a very long and complex development process during a major console shift. In short, you’ve been awesome fans and partners and we will be forever grateful!
Development on Half-Genie Hero is starting to wind down, and we have our sights set on a new version of the game, called “Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition”. After all the time we’ve put into this together, we’re sure that you’d want to have a copy of your own.
Update #118! Costumes, Ultimate Edition and Physical Goods! OH MY!
Hello Backers! We’ve got some wonderful news, along with some MESSY CONFUSION so please read carefully! You will either be A) happy now, or B) happy later!
Our second DLC Pack “Friends to the End” is ready to launch to the public on December 12th – that’s next week! That means it’s time to get all of you Backers your download codes first, so you can enjoy the game early! Serving Backers first is always our goal!
