It's been a little while. You may or may not know that I've been working on a lot of games since we had our adventure together. In fact, I think more people know who you are from my social profiles than from your own game! Pretty cool how that works, isn't it?
I just wanted to tell you that something really special is happening right now! A company called Makeship thought it would be really fun to make you (yes, YOU, Ducky) into a plushie character.
It's on their website right now, waiting to get funded! This could be a great opportunity for you, Ducky! Maybe you should get your friends together and tell them all about it!

My Next Game: My Friendly Neighborhood
Survival Horror, but with Puppets
Hey guys! I am super happy to report that I finally have a brand new project to share. Ever wonder what your favorite children's TV shows would look like with a dash of survival horror? MFN is the marriage of survival horror and puppets, giving you an open world to fight through and explore, big mysteries to solve, puzzles out the whazoo, and a ton more.
So what sort of things should you expect to find in My Friendly Neighborhood?
Non-linear, first person survival horror gameplay
A colorful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!)
An array of puzzles in the vein of the survival horror greats.
A multitude of diverse environments, from the "BTS" Ray's Workshop to cardboard crayon halls
A grid-based real-time inventory, cause that's just way better
And a lot more. . . but I'll let you find that out for yourself
Also, just a note - it might be a horror game, but expect the same sort of playful, humorous take on things that you might have found in my other games. It's spooky, but I think you'll find a lot of smiles along the way. :)
I'm really happy to report that this is by far the biggest project I've ever worked on. I have a TON of great stuff planned that I can't wait for you all to experience. . . but I'll let you find all of that for yourselves.
Could You do me a Favor?
If you're interested, could you drop a wishlist on the Steam page? That's by far the best way to support the game, and by extension me too! :) Thanks for reading! Hope to see you. . . IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
I've put together something new that I'm really quite happy with. Kyle is Famous is a humorous choose-your-own adventure game about absolutely NOT SWALLOWING THE FRIDGE. Kyle needs to prepare for an important day, and it's up to you to make sure that he does. . . if you feel like being nice.
Kyle is FREE to play! I put a lot of heart into the project, so I hope you take some time to give it a shot! Signal boosts are super appreciated! :)
It's been quite a while since I've done much with Rubber Ducky, here. If you follow my Twitter or Twitch, you'll know that I've been working on a new entry in the Rubber Ducky series in my free time. That game is a while away to say the least - but, in the meantime, I've decided I'd like to do a few updates to the old Rubber Ducky as-is.
(Image from the new Rubber Ducky, in progress)
For this update, I've added in a little bit of content in the post-game, including a secret boss fight (with a familiar face) and a mysterious message that's going to take a lot of different users working together to uncover. Also, I've done some work on the code to optimize the game, meaning there should be quite a bit less frame drops in certain parts and less crashes. I am going to be working on porting Rubber Ducky to new platforms soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Depending on schedule and reactions, I have some other ideas of things to do to further update Rubber Ducky. Drop me a line at any of the links below and let me know what you think!
If you'd like to keep posted, consider following my Twitter, Twitch, or joining the Rubber Ducky Discord:
Maybe a bit late to the game, but I've finally put together a Rubber Ducky discord. If you liked Rubber Ducky and want to chill with other people that also liked Rubber Ducky, this is a great place to do so. :)

Have yourself a wonderful day.

Friendly Reminder
Hey guys, the "black screen on startup" bug has appeared again a couple times in the last few weeks, so just a reminder: if you press F11 when you hear sound but don't see anything, it should fix itself pretty well.
Have a great day. I appreciate all of you.

An Open Letter to Goat Simulator
I, as developer and proctor of Rubber Ducky and the Rainbow Gun and supporter of all duck-related activity on Steam, hereby do proclaim that, recognizing the superiority of ducks over goats, we shall fight tooth and nail for possession of the coveted "Best Use of a Farm Animal" award. We believe this award belongs to a game that properly represents the greater of the two species of farm animals. We are a small community, yes, but we hold to the hope that you, our enemy, will see the reason behind our cause (since ducks are better than goats) and will join us for the mutual elevation of ducks during these "Best Use of a Farm Animal" election primaries.
We realize that words are just words. To help you understand our cause, we have compiled a list of the most important reasons why ducks are better than goats. Namely:
1. Because they are
2. QUACK > BAAAAAH
3. Ducks have feathers!
4. Goats don't have feathers.
5. Oh wait, do goats sometimes have feathers?
Let this become our resounding argument to the masses. We confidently leave to your own will the judgement of if our cause is righteous.
Also, Goat Sim is awesome. Plzkeepdoingwhatyou'redoing.
WE'RE GOING FOR BEST USE OF A FARM ANIMAL!!!!!!
GUYS! RUBBER DUCKY IS GOING FOR THE "BEST USE OF A FARM ANIMAL" AWARD! IF YOU ARE A TRUE DUCK, PLEASE VOTE FOR RUBBER DUCKY'S FUTURE!!!!!!!
