I always wanted to do a self-drawn game, as well as an adventure point-and-click. Hand drawn as quick sketches, then scanned into the computer, and then re-done in the computer paint programs, this one was an experience. Not sure it's an experience I'd do again, but I'm glad that it finished.
It also was the first try at a real puzzle game, and as such, I am super interested in hearing what works and what doesn't.
The Shakespeare play that it is very thinly based on is actually five: the five "Problem Plays" of the Bard's portfolio, and it also kind of ties all of the past Stick Figure Paper Shakespeare games together.
The game uses a new, more simplistic version of Army of Tentacles' Argument System, for a combo of puzzles and word battles. We might be using this in the future, but with a version that is a bit more buffed up.
So, enjoy.

Furries/Bears 2, Hamlet, and release date announcements
A silly little game where you need to know the entirety of Hamlet. It's like those learning to spell good games, but with sexytimes and Shakespeare. It was also a big back-and-forth for us, as it has text-based sex scenes baked in that go further than we've gone in a base game.
Release date changes
Paper Shakes: Date? 2 is going to launch sooner, as Furries/Bears 2 has taken priority as our late year game. This doesn't mean that it will be less of a game. We always were going for a November release date as a "LOL it's a stress-free election game during a real election", but realized that it doesn't really matter if it comes out then or not. Plus, I had an urge to deep dive into it.
Paper Shakespeare: Lizards is now 2021 due to various stressful factors that this year has brought to the team. It's a rather odd change, because it's a smaller game, but we feel that we do not want to push the issue and make it a rushed and stressed work environment for people.
This one was weird for me. Yeah, it's anthro animals and dragons, yes, there are still remnants of the dating sim formula that has worked well for us, but it's also filled with real stuff that happened to both Amber and myself working the past decade for retail. A majority of that, for me, was in this or that Halloween seasonal store.
So there's content in it. Just to tell you know.
Anyhow. We have a few more unannounced games to announce, which are smaller and we feel easier to "pump out" alongside our bigger lineup that we feel we can get done by the year's end - Joe Papp 2, Rainbow Hollow, Paper Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date 2, and Lizards Lost.
Also: stay inside if you can. We're nowhere near the end of this virus junk.
