The game was originally planned to be distributed episodically across four games. In March 2010, developer Hothead Games chose to devote its resources instead to DeathSpank, discontinuing its development of further episodes.[3] Subsequently, prose chapters constituting the plot of Episode 3 were presented on Penny Arcade’s website.[4] In August 2011, Zeboyd Games announced that it would be developing Episode 3[5][6] albeit in a completely different graphical style.[7] The third episode was released on June 25, 2012[8] and subsequently Zeboyd announced that they were working on Episode 4, which was released on June 6, 2013.[9]
