the twitter message above is from Jonatan Söderström, someone behind Dennaton Games and was responsible for the creation of Hotline Miami. Recently, Erick Scarecrow has been called out (by me and a fuck ton of other people) for using AI Generated art for (What we thought at the time was) official Hotline Miami spinoffs.

It was revealed shortly after this that Erick Scarecrow was not making these collabs legally, via Jonatan. This prompted backlash to be sent to Erick, which resulted in him blocking me (and probably others, i don't know) and leads us to now. Erick said he signed contracts to make the spinoffs, but what Jonatan said is disproving this claim.

TL;DR: Do not buy from Erick Scarecrow / ESC Toys until further notice due to his usage of AI Art and his so-called "legal" spinoffs.

So I needed to double check if it was OK for me to post this stuff but as many of you may know, we have started with fulfillment on the Hatoful Boyfriend Kickstarter! Everything is moving full swing at the office and we’ve been doing the expected running about printing all the labels in the world to send these little guys. It’s really exciting to see these little birdies finally fly home. I know everyone has been freaking out about when theirs will come. It is a process. For whatever reason, they keep sending us the tiny USPS neighborhood truck to do our pick ups and we CRAM as much as we can in them. 

So for everyone who are still waiting, worry not! We literally are trying our best to ship them out as fast as our little wings can go. 

HOWEVER, today we were able to pack OVER 600 birdies for shipment that our postman had to come back to us with a LARGER empty truck. We ran through all our resources and actually even ran out of shipping bags. Once we get more in tomorrow, expect another big haul of birds to go out Wednesday or Thursday!

If anyone experiences any issues with their birdie package, please make sure to address them directly to [email protected] so that we are able to handle each issue accordingly.
