\r\n\r\n- FIXED: Image pathing for some Wren scenes

\r\n\r\n- ADDED: New flags\r\n- FIXED: Broken quests

\r\n\r\nIt\'s that time of year again! When everyone loses their minds! But in a festive, mob mentality way! Celebrate the end of the year with video games that are cheaper than normal!

\r\n\r\nhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4231930/Paper_Shakespeare_3_Girl_Werewolf_Hamlet_Absolutely_Solves_the_War_of_the_Roses/?curator_clanid=33017070\r\n\r\nThe third and final entry in the mainline Paper Shakespeare games is ready for your consumption next year! We\'re trying a bit of a different format with this game, as it is no longer a Dating Sim, but a straight narrative with a stronger emphasis on reactivity and newer mechanics!\r\n\r\nIt\'s also the first of a trilogy that actually deals with the War of the Roses! If you\'re going to end your Shakespeare Saga, you can do a lot worse than the Henriad, right? This one is based on Richard II, with all of the Quest portions of the game comprising of all of those scenes of the play. We hope you enjoy it!

\r\n\r\nFIXED: Typos, Init errors with DLC

\r\n\r\nFIXED: Images, added beta testers to credits

\r\n\r\nFIXED: Endstate variable errors\r\nADDED: Beta Tester credits

\r\n\r\nFIXED: Endstate variable errors\r\nADDED: Beta Tester credits

\r\n\r\nSo, the big project that we have planned - and started - for next year quickly revealed itself to be physically impossible to pay for, even for a 2027 title. So we pivoted. \r\n\r\n2026 is our 10th year in existence, and as such, we have at least one 10th Anniversary game planned: Army of Tentacles. Now, this would essentially be a DLC-sized and priced upgraded version of AoT 1. New quests, an entirely new Army Invasion system, new party member skills and a much more robost Word Battle system. But that will mostly be an October-ish game, and pre-Summer Sale will belong to:\r\n\r\nPaper Shakespeare 3.\r\n\r\nNot a To Date Or Not To Date, because this time, we\'re focusing more of a quest system and less dating sim. This will be the first game in our War of the Roses trilogy, which will ultimately end our mad quest to adapt every Shakespeare play into a video game. \r\n\r\nDinosaur Shakespeare 3 will most likely be Early January.\r\n\r\nWe wish everyone a happy Black Friday. Don\'t get trampled out there.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n- FIXED: Typos

\r\nhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3893070/Girl_Werewolf_Hamlet_Saves_Christmas/?beta=0\r\n\r\nHappy Halloween to all who celebrate! This marks game #50! That\'s a big number! It\'s also the first game before our 10th Year! Which is, you know, numerologically awesome!

\r\n\r\nIt\'s spooky savings time, boils and ghouls and enbies! Tons of spoopy and non-spoopy (but also sorta spoopy) titles are on sale! \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlso: Girl Werewolf Hamlet Saves Christmas is out soon! It\'s going to be our (minus the two collections) 50th game! As far as Dinosaur Shakespeare 3 goes, that chonky boi may take a backseat so we can focus on a 10th Anniversary game for early 2026. If we get around to getting it ready before New Year\'s 2025, that\'d be cool, but for the next month, our focus is gonna be on getting *this other thing* at least on its feet.

\r\n\r\n- All new backgrounds!\r\n- Typos fixed!\r\n- two new free stat DLCs!

\r\n\r\nSo, an update on Scarecrows of Illyria.\r\n\r\nThe rewrite will happen, and it\'ll probably be a new (free) DLC, but it\'s also.... something that has slipped as a priority. \r\n\r\nA few reasons:\r\n\r\n1) When I started the project with my co-designer, it was in the middle of a family crisis that gradually got worse and worse. It got so bad and my emotional state got so bad that I ended up making some really not great management decisions. I mismanaged the project, from the AI backgrounds (that, at the time, we had every reason to believe were not AI), to not giving the writer the proper notes that my co-designer had given me.\r\n\r\n2) The juice just isn\'t there anymore. Rather than worry over a project that all parties have agreed is the past, I\'d rather focus on the future. My co-designer and I have talked. We\'re fine. They know I tried to make things right. That I want to make things right.\r\n\r\n3) Before the story, getting the AI out of the game was the main priority. \r\n\r\nSo that\'s the update. A bit more clarity on the situation.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nThat Lemur is your incentive to buy things.

\r\n\r\nHot on the heels of saying that we\'re only working on one singular project next year..... well, we didn\'t lie. Exactly. We\'re not currently planning on working on a second project for 2026 as of now.\r\n\r\nBut.\r\n\r\nNext year is our 10th year of not going out of business, and we would really love to do *something*. Some sort of 10th Anniversary Edition of some game - obviously, with new stuff. New story. New content. It\'s not our style just to do the same thing over again (*pushes the Black Goat of the Woods Editions under the rug*). \r\n\r\nWould people want to see an Army of Tentacles 10th Anniversary Edition or a Paper Shakespeare 10th Anniversary Edition?

\r\n\r\nDue to the rest of the year getting unbelievably, ungodly busy within the past two weeks, everything has been pushed back. Hamlet and Dino Shakes will still come out this year, but Dino Shakes just is not able to launch next month anymore now that so much medical stuff is going on basically every other week back to back. \r\n\r\n\"Teehee tehee, I\'ll just make three small hand drawn games to close out 2025\".... yeah. LOL.\r\n\r\nThe Scarecrows rewrite will come out in 2026. There will be no other projects besides this one for next year. We\'ll talk about that one..... probably next year. We know that 2026 is our 10 Year, but as of now, we don\'t really have anything set up for a 10 Year launch. \r\n\r\nThere\'s just too much going on, fam.

\r\nhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3893070/Girl_Werewolf_Hamlet_Saves_Christmas/?beta=0\r\n\r\nWitness the origin story of Girl Werewolf Hamlet! It\'s the classic story of Hamlet, only this time..... you know, with all the \'saving a holiday\' trope jank attached. \r\n\r\nOur final game of the year, coming soon straight into your eyeballs via your fine motor skills!

\r\n\r\nWe\'re still working on the rewrite, but have come up with against a wall. For a variety of reasons, some of us would like a new game entirely, much like Joe Papp 2 is just the rewrite of Joe Papp 1, and some of us think the rewrite should still be a patch. \r\n\r\nWe are currently debating what the best route is, both financially and creatively. \r\n\r\nWe will keep you posted.

- ALTERED: Enemy positions in 4-2

We just ditched the REGION SAFE bundles that we JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT in order to make a BANNED GAMES BUNDLE!

Now you too can buy video games that would not show up in your country of origin if you lived there!

Also, we made a bundle for all our sequel-DLCs, but thats less important. It doesnt come with a cool outlaw name.

We've made three new region safe bundles:

- Summer Sale 2025
- Experimental Sins Against Nature
- H.P. LOLCraft Platinum Non-Award Winning Saga

This covers all of our bundles.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3245540/Tentacle_Prawn_Actually_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim_New_Game_Benefits_HD/?beta=0
The final DLC for Tentacle Prawn is out now, and for some reason, this post did not out last night! Never fear, for now it has.

Rewritten and recoded about three times, it now exists as sort of an Epilogue-Dev Diary hybrid. With choices! And characters that you might not have seen since Super Army of Tentacles 3 (but who have aged in real time because that's the kind of detail gamers notice, right?).

What shall become of the Old Gods now that they have returned to the past to right the wrongs of.... the past? Will they be fated to return to the dating sim dimension once more? Will anyone kiss? Is kissing still a thing? These are important questions that need answers hammered out before the new world order becomes the new world order.

Don't forget that the base game is currently discounted during the Steam Summer Sale of 2025!

From now through July 10, everything is on sale. Whether you're into dating cryptids, taming dragons, or arguing with ghosts, we've got the game for you!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3827390/Dinosaur_Shakespeare_3_They_Are_On_The_Moon_Now_And_It_Escalated_Quickly__Bloodcore_Edition/?beta=0 As we dive into the final two games of the year, it's time to talk about what the first of those will be. Starting with Camp Apocalypse Blood, we decided that we wanted to make a trilogy of ridiculously ridiculous "hand drawn" games, but that we also didn't want to do three "stick figure" games again.

So now you have dinosaurs in outer space.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3820980/Scarecrows_of_Illyria_Canon_Rewrite_Emotional_Spoons_Pack/?beta=0 We also wanted a visual indicator on our store page that the Scarecrows rewrite is still coming out, and so we came up with the idea to release a free stat upgrade DLC alongside it.

We were going to release the coming soon page yesterday, but Valve rejected the store page once due to a formatting issue, and here we are.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1811920/Planetkillerz_death_of_a_world_in_five_acts/?curator_clanid=33017070 The version of Renpy used for this game has been updated, and we have added an acheev for one of the branching paths! OH, fancy!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1585450/Furry_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date_Spooky_Cat_Girls/?curator_clanid=33017070 Thats right: Furry Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date Spooky Cat Girls? is now officially Steam Deck Certified.

You can now romance spectral felines from the comfort of your haunted Steam Deck while ignoring the dying light of mankinds final hour.

This is the first of our games to get Deck certification, and we are going to go to a cheap fast food place to celebrate.

Thanks for playing our weird, romantic nonsense!

LAST SUMMER AT CAMP APOCALYPSE BLOOD is out now! Are you ready for the visual novel adventure of a lifetime? We have Wereshark-Squirrels.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3767120/Last_Summer_at_Camp_Apocalypse_Blood_101_Ways_to_Not_Capture_Bigfoot/?beta=0

Friday: Camp Apocalypse Blood
June/July: Tentacle Prawn post-campaign epilogue DLC

Scarecrows rewrite has been sidelined for the Prawn DLC in light of workload tetris with real life.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3767120/Last_Summer_at_Camp_Apocalypse_Blood_101_Ways_to_Not_Capture_Bigfoot/?curator_clanid=33017070 This Friday the 13th, go back to camp.

That's it. That's the slogan since we can't put taglines on actual game art anymore.

Also, Scarecrows may end up stalling a bit, as Real Life Stuff(tm) may be rearing its head for the next two weeks.

All of the AI backgrounds for Dino Sim 2022 have been replaced by stock BG.

The last one left is Scarecrows of Illyria, and the first half of the first act of rewrite is done.

A weird, wonderful narrative based on the last of my college plays: Joe Papp was the first, then came Planetkillerz.

I wrote the original play in 24 hours based on misinterpreted homework. The majority of the spine is intact, but it also has been modified for a more "Friday the 13th" vibe.

Alas, we come to the final few days of the BIRTHDAY SALE! But Richard III isn't worried. He knows where your destiny lies. It lies in low, low prices. 70% off the CAT GIRLS? sequel-DLC today!

Happy May 12th, everybody! Yes, it is another sale. Yes, it is not April, when Shakespeare's birthday actually is. That was going to be the first of two things, but I started writing before I made the list, so here we are.


The second thing is that you may notice our sale strategy is a bit different this time around. We're trying out new numbers, testing out new DLC pricing to see if it moves that needle at all.

Ten year ago, Army of Tentacles 1 was greenlit. A year after that, we had sold over 400 copies on Steam. Eight years ago, we decided to make every Shakespeare play into a game. We're two games away from that goal.

So, come one, come all, and peruse our fine (90%) anthropomorphic wares. It's what the Bard would have wanted. No, seriously, Shakespeare probably would be writing a furry webcomic.


It's ALSO the Critter Collector Fest right now on Steam, and so that means.... well, it really just means another game on sale. But WHAT A GAME IT IS.

A full-blown feline battle academy set in a San Francisco ravaged by tech lords (ok, so....), all legally distinct from the most popular creature collector out there!


Next year is our 10 Years of Not Going Out of Business Sale. Life is nuts.

Go get your goodies. It's like an Easter Egg hunt. Where you already know where everything is.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1918490/Super_Scary_Halloween_Spooky_Times_Spits_Quest/?beta=0
The first(?) in what should/wants to be a rebooted line of Halloween Retail Saga games is here! It's..... thematically different, but still within the MacBeth storyline. We hope you like it. We spent a lot of time getting the hunting mechanics just right, and the costume mechanics are really what we had dreamt up for the first game, but were unsure of how to actually do it within the limited scope of a VN engine.

Anyhow. I just got back from a dentist excursion, so my head is nowhere near where it needs to be if I'm trying to write a proper launch speech.

Enjoy the early Halloween stuff.

I wanted it to be April 1st, but real life stuff got in the way. This is a wildly oddly political game. I started writing it straight off the election of last year, when I was wondering why I was working a seasonal part-time job rather than volunteering at a food bank or a call center.

New intro and new characters are in the base game now.

Don't miss these discounts! They won't be around until the next sale! Only a few more days!

The Steam Spring Sale is here once again to terrorize your wallet.

Geeks 2: Staying 99 cents, but we will be adding *some sort of* substantial content update to justify the price. As well as a content DLC.

Scarecrows of Illyria: The new script and BG patch will probably be hitting before December.

Halloween Retail 4: Still on track for maybe before late July.

Game #2 2025: May slip to 2026. We'll see.

Tentacle Prawn DLC: Possibly December.

And a few tagalong games as well! You, see, this is what we call 'capitalism'.

Nine years and two Shakespeare plays away from adapting every single one of the Bard's works into a video game.

There's a price change incoming to Geeks 2. Right now, it's at 99 cents. We're trying to make it free. The reason being because we got all of the AI art out of the game, therefore we don't see the point in selling a game using entirely reused assets.

AI has no use in art, and the fact that we let it slip by was naive, stupid, incredibly brazen, and entirely unprofessional.

We're going to be publishing some new donation DLC (most likely next month), which most likely will include some new scenes using new assets.

We recently changed the price of GEEKS 2 from $4.99 to .$99. We did so because, at the time of publishing, we had backgrounds that we thought were okay to use, so we paid for them and put them in the game. We recently got all of the AI out of the game, and as such, drastically lowered the price due to this.

I'm going to be clear. We do not advocate for the usage of AI in art, and using some for backgrounds, even though we trusted the artist, was incredibly stupid and brazen.

Next month, we will be adding in a few small scenes to the game to justify why the title still has a price tag.

Gather your team! Hunt some monsters! Make costumes out of those monsters and sell them to the public! We decided to pull the Super Spooky series away from the Furries & Scalies franchise because we wanted it to be its own thing. It's Halloween, it deserves that, right?

All of the new backgrounds are in for Scarecrows of Illyria, and we're having a new writer's room/production meeting this weekend to discuss tweaks to the current story. We just felt like, as we were getting rid of the AI art, we also could update the narrative as well.

While we do not want to give an actual date for the new version of the game to actually drop, we do want to express that it should be out before the end of the year. There are just a few other projects for 2025 that came up in the meantime.

So the 2025 slate pretty much looks like:
- Game 2025 #1
- Game 2025 #2 (which might be ready to have a Coming Soon page up by next week, who knows)
- Scarecrows of Illyria rewrite
- Tentacle Prawn DLC

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1877720/Army_of_Tentacles_Assault_on_Rainbow_Unicorn_Island/?curator_clanid=33017070
Hooray! A new Army of Tentacles is out! This one has no subtitle! Well, it does, it's just not.... yeah, it's different. As stated before, the VO will come later in either a free DLC or a patch. We might go with a free DLC just to have data on player retention.

Given the current political climate, probably could have gone with a title change.


We've wanted to do a Trojan War play ever since the first Sexy Centaurs, but always got sidetracked. Now, we present to you..... the Greeks versus the Rainbow Unicorns! Who will become Troy's ruler? Is something rotten in Denmark because there's a Hamlet character in this? Find out in this video game that has a very light but deadly (LBD) combat system!

It's the immortal works of Shakespeare together at last with the Cthulhu Mythos!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1877720/Army_of_Tentacles_Assault_on_Rainbow_Unicorn_Island/ So. Time to talk turkey.

Army of Tentacles: Assault on Rainbow Unicorn Island is going to come out next Tuesday.

This game in no way should have taken as long as it did to come out. But that's the life of an indie dev company, especially if you want full VO in your game.

The game's VO will be patched in at a later date. We already lost one backup of the VO files, and now the secondary may very well perish in the San Diego fires.

I'd rather not worry about video game bullshit right now. I'd rather focus on making sure my team is safe and not burning to cinders, or wondering where they are going to live in a few days. I'd rather they focus on that. Hell, they would rather they focus on that.

So, VO will be patched in at a later date.

Large game bundles will be disabled for all future official Steam Sales that have the ridiculous Sale Trading Card mechanic. These are just easy targets for those that are just buying and mass refunding games in order to get Sale Cards.

Winter Sale is over?

Maybe it never left.

- CHANGED: Various difficult areas
