Hey guys!
Just a quick post to let you know that the next installment of Shale Hill Secrets is almost ready! As you have seen RECENTLY (pun totally intended 😉), the exploration menu is getting more relevant within the game and we are carefully listening to your feedback to integrate it better.
Since the beginning, the idea was to create different possibilities, and we are investi...

Hello everyone!
It’s time for the November bonus scene… and this time round we have Maggie!
MC and Maggie are taking an overnight pit stop on a little Christmas trip. A little sauna in the hotel bathroom? That’ll come in handy for getting warm after a little journey in the snow!
We hope you enjoy this bonus scene, we’ve mixed up the style a little bit to give some more...

Hey guys, all good?
Note: The rest of this post has some spoilers, so if you haven't yet played all currently released episodes, it might be a good idea to skip this post.
So, just to stir the pot a little while we continue work on the next update, we are wondering… What do you think is going to happen in the world of Shale Hill Secrets?

Love-Joint is delighted to announce that Double Homework - Episode 19 will be released for free this Christmas!
We understand that it’s been a long time since the last free release, but this past year has been a difficult one for the team. We now have a smaller team than we used to, working under a smaller budget, all while launching a whole new game inside a new engine - these things, ...

Hello everyone!
Your October bonus scene is here, and it’s with someone special.
The scene picks up from where Shale Hill Secrets - Episode 4 left off with Valerie, but it goes a little differently this time! Val pulls you in and says she called you over simply for her own pleasure. Who are you to say no… 😉
We hope you enjoy this scene and that everyone is keeping safe ...

Hello everyone!
We’re pleased to tell you that Shale Hill Secrets - Episode 4 is here!
This one took a while to polish, but once you play it you’ll see why: it’s huge! Again, there is a lot of information to digest in this release, so take your time and read carefully. Most of the events in this episode can be played in any order you want. Asi...

We’d like to provide another quick update on the release of Shale Hill Secrets - Episode 4.
After testing the episode in full we have decided to write some extra scenes to ensure everything is as smooth as possible. As we’ve said previously, quality is very important to us with this game - meaning we’d rather take a little extra time now to add the needed content which will be impor...

One year ago today, our friend Palmer went offline for the last time. It has been a strange experience going on without him, but we continue working to be a studio that honors his legacy.
Love-Joint was formed in mid 2015 when Palmer and Ricky joined forces to start producing 3D rendered games. Palmer was already known in the adult co...

As hinted at last month, it’s time to have some fun with a special blue haired girl! 😉
In the bonus scene for this month, we drop into Haley and the MC having a game of pool and some drinks after closing hours. As the MC helps Haley lineup her shot a little better, he gets excited and Haley can feel something poking her from beh...

Hello everyone,
It’s been a while since we brought you any updates, but the team have been very busy behind the scenes producing content for Shale Hill Secrets - Episode 4!

This month we have a long bonus scene for you (one of the longest yet). Alexis and Sarah get a bit excited in the changing room after talking about Sarah’s interesting hook up with the MC. After a little bit of fun together, they decide to invite him to join them for round two!
Again we ho...

Hello all,
It’s that time again! The July Platinum bonus scene is here.
This month the MC visits the comic book shop in search of some hentai - but nothing gets past Kristen and she mocks him for his choice of reading.
She takes him into the backroom and shows off some special order hentai comics, but it seems that she cannot contain her excitement of a special comic you may...

Hello everyone,
Long time no speak, but please be rest assured that we are alive & working hard.
We haven’t shared an update in a while, but we’ve been working on the next installment of Shale Hill Secrets (and on other things we aren’t ready to announce yet). As explained in May, we want you to discover the world of SHS yourself while playing the game, and that’s why we...

The time has finally come… the second installment of Shale Hill Secrets is here!
After more than eight weeks in the oven, this release of SHS is definitely a lot longer than the average episode we had for Double Homework! The reason it took a bit longer than we originally expected was because we prepared a few surprises…

About eight weeks have passed since the first release of Shall Hill Secrets, meaning we are getting very close to the second installment. The episode is basically 99% done, and we are currently working hard at polish, doing testing and implementing some last minute fixes.
Our original plan was to get a build ready today - since historically we release things on the last day of the month -...

Hello everyone, we hope you’re all keeping safe and well!
As you know, we’ve all been very busy behind the scenes producing the next update.

Hello all!
Really sorry for the delay on the release of the Android version of Shale Hill Secrets. Adapting the game’s GUI for smartphones ended up being a little bit more challenging than I was originally expecting. A lot of time was also spent on extra optimization measures since the original build was kind of too heavy.
The good thing is that the most important changes ar...
