The Ghost of Joe Papp
September 2023 Announcent(z)
So what does this mean? We're working on Scarecrows as well as the first draft of Dino Squad's 25 levels. But we're going one scene/level a day for each.
Dino Squad is still on track for the end of 2023.
Scarecrows might actually be ready by the end of the month (given testing, etc.).
2) Aot: Unicorns: Halloween release depends on if we have all voice lines in and fully edited by then.
Steam Visual Novel Fest 2023!
Very Naked Hamlet is 15% off!
Furries & Scalies 1 & 2 are both 15% off!
The Halloween Retail Sale is still going strong, too!
Halloween Retail Season Sale 2023!
Guess who has COVID again? That's spooky.
Inexplicable Geeks is OUT!
Get it whilst it is hot.
Steam Summer Sale 2023! Buy things NOAW!
As Samuel L. Jackson once said: hold on to yer butts.
Delays, Dino Cousin Squad WIP
Due to a combination of factors:
1) Surgery recovery.
2) Family life events.
3) Quality dev cycles for various products. We redid the schedule today, and feel like we have a better grip on when exactly we can work on what specific projects.
4) Dinosaur Cousin Squad being a new genre and a new engine.
Unless otherwise specified, everything already not in production is going to be pushed to 2024. Geeks: Miller Cut, Illyria, and Rainbow Island are all 90% done and still expected to be able to be completed in a relatively short amount of time.
Everything else is non-priority at this point and is going to be 2024.
Pre-Summer Sale! Summer of DLC, Part 3!
It's almost that time again! Which means it is that time again!

So, like, in all seriousness, this is the game that I should be writing on pain meds right now. This one rounds out the three DLC Sequels that are hitting in the year of our Gourd 2023.
The Rest of 2023, in recap....

Furry Shakes: Cat Girls 2 + new Geeks game!
What's this? Announcing four new products whilst recovering from surgery? Well, they aren't huge, and half of them are already in various stages of production.
Three upcoming DLC-Quels!

We're trying to make these suckers the size of full games, but no promises. Experimenting with a DLC format allows us to take both more and safer risks with a pre-established game. We also don't have the budget for three full games at the moment, and we're currently six games away from adapting every Shakespeare play (that excludes the entirety of the Henriad, which we're trying to do as one game - nine plays as one title). DLC costs us nothing, and we had the assets lying around. Some were made specifically for the DLC-Quels, some just were gathering dust.
The third DLC-Quel isn't ready to reveal yet. We were thinking we could reveal all three at once, but forgot that one still needed to be submitted to Valve for verification.
New Games on the horizon!

Geeks Hashtag is a fun, quick little thing we wanted to get out for this year's SDCC. Lovingly taking aim at things like the Snyder Cut.
