AoT 1 Bug update/Patch!


A patch was uploaded recently which should bring everyone's games up to date, as well as fixing some pathing issues. This, children, is why you don't rush the process and you trust yourself and your vision and skills. You will find yourself putting out incredibly easily avoidable fires for your first game almost a decade later.

Army of Tentacles 1 Bug Fixing Update

Featuring five new part members and a brand new storyline! Innsmouth is set to fall, because if it didn't, that would be kind of counter-productive and a debbie downer ending, but how it does and what happens AFTER is in your hands!

The game was already out, and had been out since 2020. Well, here's a small DLC that expands upon that segment.

AoT: Unicorns = Halloween 2024? Spooky Cat Girls 2 = Halloween 2025?


Without going into my personal junk, about five to six life events hit me at the end of last year, one of which I had been prepping for. I/We already had decided to only work on Dinosaur Cousin Squad until it was ready for internal beta testers (which should be in the next few weeks), but with everything else that hit, it left me very emotionally drained. That and then you add in the Brain Fog, a loving reminder of my two bouts with COVID-19. The point is that I'm thinking of moving Spooky Cat Girls 2 to later, if not Halloween 2025. Army of Tentacles: Assault on Unicorn Island, if not out by then, would take its place as the Halloween 2024 game. I do not think there is any reason other than current lethargy that AoT: Unicorns would land on Halloween 2024. Cat Girls: IMT is looking good, but as stated, DCS takes priority, and even if we barreled through it before SDCC in late July, we still wouldn't feel comfortable releasing it until at least December, if not later (for personal reasons as well as wishlists). We might do some weird, smaller game after DCS level rough draft is done but before SDCC. AoT: Christmas Edition has been thrown around just cause we were playing Lemmings: Christmas Edition last night. It would probably use the remaining art for Tentacle Prawn that we just never ended up using.

Announcing the 2/4 Final Shakes Games!


While progress on Dinosaur Cousin Squad is going well (despite hitting an error as soon as we booted up the base code for the first time as one complete package), we were able to at least get a good foothold on two of the final four Paper Shakespeare games while waiting on the base code. We are very happy to be able to share the store pages with you today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2762590/Furry_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date_Cat_Girls_If_Made_Today https://store.steampowered.com/app/2757940/Furry_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date_Spooky_Cat_Girls_2 Cat Girls? If Made Today isn't a remake, but rather, a reimagining of the game if it was made with the game dev know-how that we have now, and with the storytelling and gameplay that we want to do. This is the first Cat Girls game as if it was completely unconnected to the other games, as the Keegan Quinn/Multiverse BS storyline is over. Spooky Cat Girls 2?! is another experimental title: it is three spooky games in one. The first is the titular Spooky Cat Girls, the second is a Cthulhu Dating Sim that we've been calling the Dark Souls of Visual Novels, and the third is our Kaiju game. Neither have solid dates yet, as we need to both launch Army of Tentacles: Assault on Rainbow Unicorn Island, as well as dedicate our time to finishing up Dinosaur Cousin Squad in time for Christmas - or before. We hope you enjoy.

The FINAL FIVE SHAKESPEARE + DCS update!


The mad quest to make a game for every Shakespeare play is swiftly reaching its promised end, with the first being Army of Tentacles: Assault on Rainbow Unicorn Island. After that, maybe we can sleep. Two are scheduled for the end of 2024, but the majority of work on those will commence after Dinosaur Cousin Squad has dropped. We don't yet know when that one will have a Store Page up, but we assume within the next few months. Both games were being prepped while Dinosaur Cousin Squad was being worked on, but DCS progress has hit a few fun new snags, so we might be able to finish before proper level clean-up is set to begin in a few months. The final two are set for early and late 2025. One is a collaboration, and the other is another new engine, new genre game..... this time: a tRPG deck builder. In layman's terms, a party based tactical RPG with a card system. We've very recently begun pre-production and asset buy on that one. Store pages for at least two of the final four adaptations will be popping up after Rainbow Unicorn Island drops on the 23rd.

A note about AI art in our games.

So, for a few smaller games in the past (including tomorrow's Dinos Shakespeare 2 DLC), we have used AI backgrounds. We had both in-house discussions about it, as well as extensively made sure that the singular artist we used for said games was being ethical in what she fed her AI. Scarecrows came out, and at the time, we assumed the generated art was made using the same level of care (as their prior art that we used from the same artist was painted), and while we have no reason to believe otherwise and do not wish to slander said artist, we will be working to attain new background art for Scarecrows. This might look like a combination of new and existing art or it might be new art altogether. Regardless, it will not happen overnight. We will not be using AI art of any kind in any future games. We apologize to both our fellow developers as well as our customers for any ill will gained via our actions.

DCS Delay


Due to increased stress due to family medical issues and my own medical issues, Dinosaur Cousin Squad has been delayed until sometime next year. We're fast tracking a game that we intended to work on for next Halloween in order to fill its place, as well as working on the DLC sequels that we were going to do for early next year. DCS could potentially be done by the rest of the team, but because it is the first game of ours in a new genre and engine, plus since I originally started making it as a Christmas present for my younger cousins, I'm trying to be as hands-on as I possibly can be. That just is not possible given my current stress levels from real life currently coming at me from all sides. I promised them this game two Christmas Day's ago. Ugh. Well, it's going to be great when it comes out. This also gives us the chance to give the game a decent lead-in with a Coming Soon page, rather than just putting one up a few weeks before launch during the busiest time of the year. So there's the trick. The treats are coming soon.

September 2023 Announcent(z)

1) Dinosaur Cousin Squad/Scarecrows Update: The office is once again COVID free, but I myself am on a new pre-surgery diet and exercise routine to, hopefully, finally get done with medical crud once and for all. 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.

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.

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!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/2409020/Furry_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date_Cat_Girls_2_Prophecy_of_Convenience https://store.steampowered.com/app/2410350/Dinosaur_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date_2_Winter_of_our_Discontent 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!

AoT Recodes: Bit of a Snag, Bit of an Update

The newest patch for Army of Tentacles 3 went out a few hours ago. It doesn't have any real changes at all minus a few clean-up thingamabobs. It's unknown if Army 1 will have the same treatment or not. Here's why: I know that I promised new features or at least updated features for the games, but that was before my health took a turn for the worse. It seems that the surgery I had about a year ago left me with other festering issues that are just now getting around to being addressed, which includes another surgery in exactly one month. That + new meds + my current brain fog = I had to hire new contractors to help fix what was broken in the old games, and at this point, Army 3 was able to get back up to working condition.

We may be getting a new level programmer for Dinosaur Cousin Squad, so look out for that update soon. If that happens, we don't yet know how it would affect the current workflow/schedule. Best case scenario is it clears up time and stress so we can work on Furry Shakespeare 2, but that's not even really a thing yet beyond a first draft of the script.

Army of Tentacles 2 + Tentacle Prawn Update!


First off, it's really ridiculous that we finally got out the final Army of Tentacles. Yes, Unicorns is coming later, and Tentacle Prawn technically counts as a spin-off in the same way that the Mythos games do, but for all mentally stressful purposes, the trilogy is over. Yes, that feels weird, considering the series began in 2016 and the recodes are still being worked on. Army 3's recode now only has 20 Arguments, and even though we're working on Dinosaur Cousin Squad exclusively after March ends, not working on any other projects is going to free up time to finish those. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082690/Army_of_Tentacles_Not_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim_2 Next up is Tentacle Prawn, which is a mix of Paper Shakespeare/Army of Tentacles.....
Internally, we've been referring to it as Army of Tentacles 4, even though it's... really not an entry in the main arc. It has.... stuff in it, and it really is a true mixture of the two worlds, but it is its own thing entirely. It's going to go live early April. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1727790/Tentacle_Prawn_Actually_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim

AoT 1 + 3 Redo Update


Army of Tentacles 1's redo is about 50% complete. All of the side quests are finished. Brain fog is not helping my productivity, but I'm doing about two quests a day, plus a quest a day on Army of Tentacles 2. I know I originally set the release date for February, and then March, but if they both are ready by the end of January, they might be both launching then. Don't worry. I fully realize my workload as well as my current state of being/mind/health, so it might not happen. Army of Tentacles 3 is a different story. It's a lot less restrictive than Army 1, both code-wise and VO-wise (because there is no VO). We thought about adding VO to the game, but ruled against it, as that would be money we need for Unicorns and Dinosaur Cousin Squad, and the game's plot relied on a lack of VO. The biggest change to Army 3 is that we are cutting down the number of Arguments for a leaner, faster experience. With the DLCs, Army 3 has a whopping 70 Arguments to Army 1's, what, 20? I don't yet know how that is going to translate into quests yet. Some quests might be merged with others, I don't know yet. A lot of the Arguments were not even related to quests, and those may be the majority that go. Another feature that is going to take some busywork.... Army 3 has a large party, and it'll be interesting to see what skills change, what stay the same, and what have fun new uses.

It'll either release same month as AoT 2 or Rainbow Unicorn Island. We're trying to find a balance between financial sense and thematic sense.

Steam Winter Sale 2022! (+ Winter Updates)


Winter Sale


No one could have predicted this. Oh, and Dino Sim 2022 is droppig next week. Could be Monday, could be Friday. Or Tuesday. Or the other two. Just in time to miss Christmas as well as Christmas Eve. Blame the Gregorian Calendar and the constant shift of yearly dates for that chestnut. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2153400/Scientifically_Accurate_Dinosaur_Mating_Simulator_2022_American_Revolution_1775__1786 Oh, and a 2023 treat....

Army 1 and 3: The Actual Recode(s)


So, later on in 2023, the oft prophecized recode is happening..... the code for both Army 1 and Army 3 broke. The Steam versions still work. So that's the good news. If you buy it this sale, you will be buying a working game. It's just the versions on our end that need to be fixed. Which ultimately means that there will be a patch to both games later on down the line. I want to make it clear that both games work perfectly fine on Steam. If you were planning on making any purchases of the game or DLC this Winter Sale, feel free to do so. When the newest update to the engine that we use hit, it scrambled our 2016 Code bases brain. Without going into lengthy explanations, the base code for Army 1 (Utahraptor) was written in such a way that, if you push one domino, the whole thing is gonna crumble. We were young and inexperienced. Shit happens. While Army 3 came out pretty unscathed, it still uses the Argument/Word Battle code. So we need to redo it as well. The good news is that both games will have fresher, better code. We will be keeping as much as the base game intact as we can. We're also going to try our best to keep the file size to the same as what it was, even though we'll be adding a few new baubles. They will include:
  • Updated Word Battles: Stats and abilities will now have a bigger impact on how they play out.
  • New Army Units and Art: We'll have actual art for the Army units.
  • New Level Up/Upgrade screens: For a better, clearer idea of how you're going to shape your army of monsters for the new endgame Invasion.
  • Updated Shops and Stats
  • Redone endgame Invasion system
  • Redone DLC pathcode
  • New UI
Those patches will hit sometime (hopefully) early this year, with Army of Tentacles 1's patch going up before Army 3.

Introducing: DINOSAUR COUSIN SQUAD!


Our first platformer - made in GameMaker Studio 2. While we were going to shift the release dates for our current 2023 crop to get this out before Summer Sale, the version of base code that we got earlier last month still needed a fair amount of polish, and we didn't want to have our contractors work through the holidays. Our current investors were cool with the shift, but since it's going to need more time to cook before we can really start work on it, we're going to try to clear our slate of current investor projects before working on this one in full. Earlier in October, we had split up into two teams: Team Army of Tentacles - working on Army 2, Tentacle Prawn, and Unicorn Island - and Team Cousin Squad - working on Dinosaur Cousin Squad only. But because Dinosaur Cousin Squad has shifted, Team DCS has now taken up a new project that will also be officially announced next month:

To Date Or Not To Date Cat Girls? 2 is in development


While Tentacle Prawn is the game where we detail the relationship between our Lovecraft and Shakespeare worlds, Furry Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date Cat Girls? 2 is going to be a more standalone title that deals specifically with the various Furry Shakespeare tales we've been telling so far. For instance, we have an entire group that actually deals with keeping the spirit of the holidays alive. How do they fit into the overall lore? Do they also go to the same college for royalty that everyone else does? What about the Spooky Scary Halloween Spooky Times and Historylands crews? Those are retail jobs. Why do those exist in this world? But the most important question of all: can you date a Monarch Butterfly? Originally, Spooky Cat Girls? was going to be the canon sequel to Cat Girls?, but.... well, not anymore, obviously. Happy holidays.

Halloween never ends. 2023 announcements.


We're only eight games away from finishing our mad quest of adapting every Shakespeare play into a video game. Well, more than eight actual plays, but like Rainbow Hollow, we've got some tomfoolery up our sleeves. So, not only are we planning on a third and final game in the main Army of Tentacles trilogy next year, we're also planning two spin-offs in the Paper Shakespeare universe. Shakespeare and Lovecraft, together at last. We have sort of an ongoing storyline through all our games, and so far, it's been most apparent in the Paper Shakespeare/Furry Shakespeare ones. There's some reality/multiverse jank that's been threading through the games, which was have been affectionately calling The Multiverse BS (no, we only started calling it that when Marvel started calling their current films The Multiverse Saga). So, the idea here is that Army of Tentacles 2 will end that storyline and the next two games will showcase the consequences of a new reality being born. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1727790/Tentacle_Prawn_Actually_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim It's all led up to this. Kind of. Maybe. Combining the quest and battle mechanics of prior Army of Tentacles games with the magnanimousness of a college dating sim. Expect to see it before summer. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1877720/Army_of_Tentacles_Assault_on_Rainbow_Unicorn_Island Army of Tentacles is over. Long live Army of Tentacles. The first game, but reimagined as Shakespeare's Trojan War play. Perry, Riley, Webster, Thatcher, Apocalypse Bunny, and more are on a quest to push back the invading Greeks and save their home. Our first fully-voiced game since 2016. Expect it sometime..... later.

Happy Halloween + Halloween DLC!


We had a few game announcements to make - we're seriously cutting down on content produced in 2023. But we have some announcements that we *think* round out next year alongside the already announced 2023 games. But we felt Halloween was not the right time to make those announcements. We want as many eyeballs on us as possible (or as is possible for a small indie outfit), and we felt that Halloween Day was not the day to make such annoucements. So tomorrow.

What are Guest Paths? Well, they are like Johnny Handsome in the idea that they are complete character arcs, but for guests. You'll need to figure out what section they'll pop up in each Act, though.

Kittens/SF: Maybe Delay

First off, why the delay? I finally got COVID-19. The silver lining here is that most of the teams for the next few games already work remote, and Kittens in SF is basically 98% finished. Which sounds relatively easy, but I have never felt this lethargic and aimless with any other cold or flu that I've had the chance of catching. There are maybe fifteen minute windows where I feel good enough to work on the game, but then those pass and I can't even think straight. Even with those fifteen minute windows, my body is constantly fluctuating between extreme hot and extreme cold. I can't talk, I can't smell, and while I still retain my sense of taste, it's dull in most areas but extremely punctuated in others. It's super weird. But wait, it's not all doom and gloom! While the game may be delayed, it won't be delayed that long, as I'll be out of isolation next week and plugging away to get you, the general public, your yum-yums. At the very least, I'll probably take this time to finish up work on some future store pages so we can announce some new products in the interim. Who knows. If you can, please get vaccinated. I have a mild case, but knowing it is a mild case, I would not want anyone to experience a full-on case of COVID. Because I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like. I also am still deep in recovery from a prior surgery, so these two factors combined are..... not great. The Halloween Retail Season sale is still on if you feel so inclined.

Two Incredibly Ripped, Absolutely Shredded Noble Kinsmen comes out on Thursday! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1824590/Furry_Shakespeare_Two_Incredibly_Ripped_Absolutely_Shredded_Noble_Kinsmen

Coming soon


Due to an upcoming unforseen surgery, Army of Tentacles 2 and Unannounced Dating Sim-VN RPG have been moved from October to December. Which sucks because Halloween season was the perfect time for both, but whatever. That's life. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082690/Army_of_Tentacles_Not_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim_2 We have a replacement Halloween game that we're kicking around. Kittens in SF is still scheduled for June-issssssssssssssssh, but that also depends on recovery. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1727200/Kittens_in_PostApocalyptic_Fantasy_San_Francisco_Battle_School_for_Only_the_Most_Awesome_Monsters We'll be announcing 2023 probably starting in August. We're in production of our first NON-VISUAL NOVEL. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

KITTENS IN POST-APOCALYPTIC FANTASY SAN FRANCISCO announced!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1727200/Kittens_in_PostApocalyptic_Fantasy_San_Francisco_Battle_School_for_Only_the_Most_Awesome_Monsters This is possibly our weirdest Shakespeare adaptation yet. It's Othello. But it's also set in a world of monster fighting. Also: collecting. So, monster fighting and collecting. You do both. This is our first game with a new main gameplay mechanic in six years that's not just choice menu based. It was scary. Hopefully, you all like it. Because we plan on using it for the next few titles. We've been waiting to show off some of these art assets for years. That's how game dev works sometimes. None of these were originally supposed to be mashed together, but you can't argue with the result.

Furry Shakespeare: Two Noble Kinsmen announced!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1824590/Furry_Shakespeare_Two_Incredibly_Ripped_Totally_Shredded_Noble_Kinsmen[img] We were thinking about this for November, but that thing we were clearing the board for won't be done until April, annnnnnnnd we just got in a battle system for an unannounced game that we are {i}very happy with{/i}, plus we want to give the post-summer RPGs room to breathe.... So. Kinsmen is gonna be our game for Renpy Month, and then we'll work on the final three. It's a narrative and choice based politics sim. We almost backburnered it because of the crap that is happening in the world. It takes place in the old school Elsinore Academy, but we felt the gameplay was different enough from the past Elsinore Academy games to warrant it.

Game Announcement: Planetkillerz!


Much like Joe Papp (okay, EXACTLY like The Ghost of Joe Papp), this also was a play written in college. I decided to adapt it as a game because it felt like material that I wanted to revisit given I had just received some really horrible news. It helped me process the stuff that I was feeling inside, and the game itself goes over topics like death, religion, and mass planetary extinction events. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1811920/Planetkillerz_death_of_a_world_in_five_acts

Scam Alert!

If you or anyone you know is approached by anyone from Stegalosaurus claiming to be a part of a Counter-Strike tournament, do not click the link. It is a scam. I mean, we wouldn't be in a CS tourney anyway, but not everyone would know that. This also goes for, I guess, anyone in general. If you get a random, out-of-the-blue message about CS GO, don't fall for it.

SUPER ARMY store page repurposed as ARMY 2!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082690/Army_of_Tentacles_Not_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim_2 We've updated the Army 2 store page. Changed the name of the game as to avoid super confusion. Does this mean we're no longer doing the other Army of Tentacles game? Well, for that, you'll have to wait and see, but we figured out how to make it so both Army 2 and our other Furry Shakespeare RPG build up to a final AoT game (in the main storyline, I guess). We're very excited. Happy new year!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1806200/Scientifically_Accurate_Dinosaur_Mating_Simulator_2021 Happy holidays, everyone! Merry Christmas to those that celebrate! We'll be rolling out store pages for the 2022 crop soon, but here's a preview of our intended releases: 1. Another adaptation of a play I wrote in college, much in the same vein as Ghost of Joe Papp. Expect it Early February/Late January. 2. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1800080/Furries__Scalies__Scarecrows_OH_MY Launching right before our 6th year of being in business/not going out of business. 3. A Furry Shakespeare RPG with a fun new combat mechanic. Late May. 4.
Six years and the third game later, behold the second game in the Army of Tentacles trilogy. Taking place parallel to the events of the first two games, you are thrust into the role of the B Team - the misfits responsible for ending the world if Perry and their crew failed to do so. October. 5. A Furry Shakespeare Election Sim just in time for the November USA elections. So, two RPGs and a few dating sims.

Halloween Discount Sale #2


Halloween is the best. I can't find candy in stores anymore. It's not even October.


[ 2021-09-27 19:11:50 CET ] [ Original post ]

Army of Tentacles 2022, Spooky Cat Girls?: Changes


Doing things isn't easy. Video games are hard, as someone once said I forget who, but it's an actual quote. I think it may be from an executive. I dunno. Being a niche indie company is hard. Hired a new writer for Spooky Cat Girls?'s classroom scenes when it became clear that it would not make a reasonable launch date for October. It was either launch directly before the Halloween sale (and this was hoping Valve would accept the final build on the first submission, never something a designer should bet on) or delay it, and we chose to delay it. We feel December also fits in with the theme of the chosen play. Super Army of Tentacles has always been my baby, but it's gone through so many changes, due to gameplay as well as personal reasons, that I feel a disconnect with it. Rather than make a tentpole game that I do not want to make, I handed it off to another team member for a 2023 release. This would be the first Army of Tentacles game not helmed by me, which is exciting as I 100% trust my team and think it is time that we all grow in that fashion. We've been alive almost five-point-something years now. In the place of Super Army of Tentacles, I plan on making a new, full VN-RPG Army of Tentacles game. I feel much more confident about this one, and it will launch at the same time that Super Army 2022 would have. That will be announced soon, maybe with the other 2022 games. Maybe not. Who knows. Making games is hard.

Furry Shakespeare: Midsummer launches!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1512370/Furry_Shakespeare_Dreamin_of_One_Lazy_Dead_Midsummer Out now. This one is very near and dear to us, and to me, because it was an idea that I had been mulling around way back in the wee year of 2017. So it was important for us to put an idea together for Midsummer Night's Dream that resonated. The concept of the summer camp slasher movie seemed like a fantastic juxtaposition to the play's theme of young (and naive) love. Next up: Oops! All Dragons! might be rearing its head for a late August launch, as the spine of that gameplay loop is already done.

Halloween Retail Season Sale 2021! (or, the first one, really)


We decided on this sale when it was looking like COVID was getting under control over here, and people would start returning to work in-person. I still remember last year, seeing the ads for Halloween stores that were opening and wondering "why the heck would people go to a store during a pandemic where they know for a fact that an entire body has touched the wares?". Still. It's a magical time of the year where we get ready for the final three months of the year. Halloween Retail Season doesn't just mark the coming of the next big holiday, it marks the beginning of the end. So get out those wallets and celebrate the way Capitalism wants you to!


[ 2021-08-02 17:03:50 CET ] [ Original post ]

Midsummer gameplay changes


So, we're putting the finishing touches on Midsummer, and without going into the gory details, a large chunk of the gameplay was vaporized from existence: the weekly slasher competitions. We still have the endgame slasher segment, and we have changed the game's story to put focus on an endgame segment rather than multiple slasher sections. We feel this is important as an announcement because our store page used to have language directly implying multiple sections throughout the game. The silver lining here is that we feel that the focus on a singular slasher section rather than multiple improves the general gameplay and story, as well as the "unique aspect" of such a section existing in the story itself. It was either that or delay the game for something that we now feel would have hurt the gameplay rather than added to it.

My goal with this game was to make a short, inexpensive, and generally fun title that encompassed all of the "stuff" that normally goes on at an in-person pop arts convention. Like Super Halloween Times, it does get a bit dark in places because some of the content is based on real stuff. You know, besides all of the monsters. All data points to a 99-cent game selling, but like most of the stuff we do, it's an experiment. Of course, experimenting is hard to do when you're a small indie dev working on niche titles, but the risk on this particular title was pretty low. So we went for it. Enjoy.

Recently, we got a new web hosting service, and as such, have a new tech support e-mail: support@stegalosaurus.com Good news as well! We're now in the permanent new office, and as such, won't have to do the delays that we thought we were going to have to do! We also are hard at work pre-planning the planning phase of the store pages for 2022's other two games, one of which is another RPG to go alongside Super Army of Tentacles. There's discussion on whether or not we should release the new RPG next to Super Army of Tentacles, and if we do that, SAoT will probably move to October. But there's also the fact that an unexpected expense means our plans for Said RPG could mean it is now 2023, and we would just continue chipping at our Shakespeare slate with smaller games.

Super Army of Tentacles, progress update + news

So. Dunno if this announcement is really warranted. Just want to let people know what is going on. Super Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim has three main mechanics: skills/attributes, Word Battles, and Armies. Well, it did. See, I started work on the project when things were.... let's say, different in the USA, and that, in turn, fueled the direction of the thing. We had already wanted to do something new with AoT 1's army mechanic, but do it better than the first game. Do it with all the game dev we had learned over the years since we've started. So I felt that my internal anger was a good fuel for said mechanic. Who doesn't love a good 'throw out the bad guys' story? While the main story of the game is still 'the humans somehow occupied Monster Land', after recent events, I just don't feel good about a mechanic where you pre-meditatively build up militias to take over areas. We talked about this, and the bottom line is that we feel that even though the Army mechanic would have been solid, it would have taken away from the main gameplay loop of the first two games. Even though there was a final Invasion mechanic in the first game, the way you recruited your army was never the focal point. The focals were the Word Battles. At the end of the day, real people make games, and we don't want to be making a game that we feel isn't up to snuff or is pushed in two different directions. This is the last in the trilogy for us. We know more now and want to do it right, as both a stand alone title and a series cap. This also allows us to put greater focus on the idea of reactivity to your choices in the world's hubs. Which is cool. I'm writing this because, even though it wasn't the selling point of the game or even showcased in screenshots or the trailer, it was in the initial store description and there were shots of it in the trailer and on the screenshot gallery. We've already updated the gallery, but will also be updating the trailer shortly. This really doesn't affect the already delayed release date of 2022. If anything, it clarifies a release date. If anything, at max what it means is this will release post-summer 2022, but I honestly don't think that's a concern.

We thought it would be the last FASABOH!, but we have something in the back of our heads that itching. As always, depends on how well this one does. This dev cycle was odd, as this sequel is not under the commission that the original was. It's entirely on our own. It was weird going back to a world that was, at the start, not entirely ours.

2021: schedule changes + 5 YEARS!


Time has flown. It seems like, just yesterday, we were making dating sims based off of the works of William Shakespeare and RPGs out of Lovecraft lore. Old team members left, new team members joined, and we've just generally had a blast making small, weird games for y'all. We're working hard at getting back to more medium-sized RPG/Viz Novel hybrids, and that's sort of what is on the docket to talk about in this news announcement. Due to reasons that we won't be going into, the main office is going to be moving twice this year. Because of this, as well as other factors revolving around Super Army of Tentacles' assets, we will be moving it to early 2022. We wanted February 15th, as that is the release date of the first AoT, but alas, that also presumably would fall within the range of the 2022 Lunar New Year Sale (maybe not, as LNY 2022 is Feb. 1st). So, rather than release after Halloween 2021, straight in the middle of the Three Sale Gauntlet (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Winter), which would be an extremely uncertain launch window, we're going to delay Super Army of Tentacles and push up everything else. Starting with.... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1312380/Paper_Shakespeare_Very_Naked_Hamlet This game came to us from one of the newer team members, and in the spirit of trying new things, and because we're huge theater geeks if you couldn't tell, we're doing an adults only Shakespeare VN. We write words that are big and adult. But you have to know Hamlet in order to see them. New Release Date: Late February - March 2021 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1349170/Furries__Scalies__Bears_OH_MY_2_Return_to_Kale_Bay Pushed up because Super AoT is no longer a huge concern this year. New Release Date: April - May 2021 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1512610/Furries__Scalies_Super_Scary_Halloween_Spooky_Times_Part_II New Release Date: June 2021 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1512370/Furry_Shakespeare_Dreamin_of_One_Lazy_Dead_Midsummer Guess who has the coveted Friday the 13th date? New Release Date: August 13th, 2021
The direct sequel to Furry Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date Cat Girls?. Direct in pretty much the same way Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date? 2 was. It takes Super Army of Tentacles' spot. The play it adapts will be As You Like It. New Release Date: October 2021

Most of our games are on sale this month, including some of our 2019 lot! But not the back half of 2020. We made.... a lot of stuff in 2020. That was a rush. We have two more Furry Shakespeare games to announce for the back half of 2021, but those announcements will either be around August or September, if those two games don't slip to Early 2022. We would like to wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year.

2 new 2021 games


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1512370/Furry_Shakespeare_Dreamin_of_One_Lazy_Dead_Midsummer Midsummer has been a play that we've wanted to adapt for years. It started out as a "lol this is the perfect dating sim" idea, then sort of merged with the fact that everyone that gets together in camp movies dies by the hands of an iconic movie slasher. Figuring out how to make a game about slashers without really making it a game about flat-out murder was tough, so we sort of went in a Cabin in the Woods angle with it. Also: is that a new UI for a Paper Shakespeare game? Will wonders never cease?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1512610/Furries__Scalies_Super_Scary_Halloween_Spooky_Times_Part_II/ This time with 10000% more Christmas. Building upon the mechanics of the first game, and expanding them, this sequel should be perfect for anyone that sees a Christmas commercial on October 31st and goes "why?". aaaaaaaaaaaandddddddddd..... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082690/Super_Army_of_Tentacles_Not_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim Super Army of Tentacles just got a brand new trailer! Won't adding new games affect the other titles? Just be glad that every new idea that pops into our heads is not being added.

Merchant of Venice DLC in 2020?


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1510940/Paper_Shakespeare_Stick_Merchant_of_Venice_Furry_Mode So, Paper Shakespeare: Stick Merchant of Venice is getting a new DLC with new art and a new frame to the text of the play. It's going to be the same text of the play, and you will still have the options of choosing Modern or Shakesperian versions of said text. We thought about making a new game, Furries of Venice, and we also thought about Furry alt outfit DLC for Joe Papp 2 (since it would 100% work in context of that game). But we ultimately decided to experiment and see if the stick figure games retain audience. It will drop about the same time we announce the first of the three new 2021 games. It will be the same price as the base game.

THE GHOST OF JOE PAPP 2: Out now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/947080/The_Ghost_of_Joe_Papp_101_Ways_To_Kill_Writers_Block The sequel/rewrite to Ghost of Joe Papp is out now! This is perhaps our most meta-game yet.... as it's literally about writing a game/play. Co-written by K. Teagan Clark, this sequel/rewrite of The Ghost of Joe Papp, a 2017 release adapted from a college play, was both super fun to do and super frustrating. Hopefully, that frustration is fun to play through. I started this project to see if I still had a playwright in me, and to try to evolve the main story from where it was in 2017 while still keeping the core intact. The next game, and the first game of 2021, should be announced in early January, and is co-written by my sister. It is the Midsummer Night's Dream adaptation in our mad quest to adapt every single Shakespeare play to video game format.

2021 release date changes


Furries & Scalies & Bears OH MY! 2 has been moved so that it is launching either closer to or directly after Super Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim.
One half of the reasoning behind this is because we wanted to give it more time to cook, and we had a much clearer vision for the two Furry Shakespeare games that were going to be our post-Army of Tentacles Winter 2021 games. One of which is To Date or Not to Date Cat Girls? 2. The other is one that we had been talking about since 2016 and are all very excited about. We just didn't know what it was until now. We couldn't see it. As these are games for an investor, we wanted to knock them out as soon and efficiently as possible while still launching good games. It's also that the Furry/Paper Shakespeare series has generally been more profitable than Furries & Scalies, so that's another reason. Had we all the time and money in the world, all three would be coming out before summer 2021, but that workload would eventually hurt Army of Tentacles 2021. Yes, one could bring up the claim that having an investor has affected us, but only in the sense of what products come first (and that honestly is the ideal situation). We're still making what we want to make next year. We still have creative freedom. From everyone here at the office to all of you, have a very happy end of the year. Stay safe. Wear a mask. Have lots of Zoom parties with friends and family.

2021 Army of Tentacles RPG announced!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082690/Super_Army_of_Tentacles_Not_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim

What is it?


Behold! The final entry in the main Army of Tentacles series, which can be played as either a sequel to Super Army of Tentacles 3, or as a standalone title entirely! The title was almost going to be Army of Tentacles 2, but we thought that a fresh coat of paint was the best route. The title we landed on is an amalgamation of the first two games.

Will there be a GOAT Edition and/or Cheat Mode?


No.

How standalone a title is it?


There are going to be things that definitely resonate with and will have different meanings for returning players, but the story is written with new players in mind. It 100% works as a sequel, but is written more like a parallel story to the main storyline that the first two games established, if that makes sense. You won't need to know who this is or why that is going on.

2021 Games


With that, 2021's titles are pretty much announced. It was honestly just going to be Super Army next year, but then Hamlet and Furries/Bears 2 slipped. We might do a Halloween game, but other than that, this is the lineup.

HALLOWEEN game + launch dates changes!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1431470/Mythos_Ever_After_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim What's this? A new Army of Tentacles game? Without any RPG elements? Just a straight dating sim? Are the GODS THEMSELVES JUST AND WISE? Well, here it is. Just in time for North American Halloween.

A note on release dates changing to 2021


A few of our smaller games, plus Furries/Bears 2, have changed to 2021. This isn't due to the sudden addition of Mythos Ever After: A Cthulhu Dating Sim, but rather, because our artists and writers need more time, and we need further assets that we didn't really account for in the budget. We figured that, if the games are delayed anyway, they might as well be clear off the current foreseeable (or at least further off than, say, January) release schedule.

Paper Shakespeare: The Legend of Rainbow Hollow is released!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/828760/Paper_Shakespeare_The_Legend_of_Rainbow_Hollow 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

Announcing the final 2020 games. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1349170/Furries__Scalies__Bears_OH_MY_2_Return_to_Kale_Bay Sequel to the first Furries/Bears, but can 100% be played as a stand-alone story. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1312380/Paper_Shakespeare_Very_Naked_Hamlet/ 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.

Upgrade news - end of the line?

Okay, so here's the deal: The Army of Tentacles 1 remaster is hitting some snags. The easiest to work on right now is that it is getting way too big file size-wise - bigger than the original size by far. So I don't think it is fair to drastically change the file size for an existing userbase. Which leaves the project with three options: 1) Release it as a separate, free DLC instead of a free patch But, if we're going to do this, we would have to throw in the new backgrounds as well (since there's absolutely no point in having DLC for DLC), and by then, we'd basically be selling the same game as a paid DLC. Which, while it is not unprecedented for a DLC to overhaul a base game's mechanics, it wouldn't serve the original purpose of the remasters, which was for every pre-exisiting and future user to have a retooled game. 2) Only upgrade the resolution This way, we'd still be able to sell the new backgrounds as an "HD 4K OMG LOLLERS" DLC for those that want a bit more of the game's backgrounds but still like the base game. But that would potentially still increase the base game file size for existing users. 3) Make a new Army of Tentacles game entirely, scrap the upgrade patches altogether Obviously, if this happened, it would probably be the same price as the original game ($4.99) and use the art from either AoT 3 or [OTHER SECRET IN-UNIVERSE PROJECTS]. While this would be the easiest option, as of now, it's not the most ideal for us.

Going forward...


No idea what we are going to do yet, but we will let you know when we do have one.

Upgrade Patch Update, 6/14/2020

Army of Tentacle Free Upgrade Patch


The base template for the new Argument System is done. You should be able to see it in the upcoming Rainbow Hollow game. Skills are not in. The majority of the work (all the new elements) won't be done until all of the 2020 games are pretty much polished up. Would like to get AoT 1's patch out before the end of the year. AoT 3 will take a bit more work, considering it is the bigger game of the two.

Army of Tentacles 1 Paid GFX DLC


Will be retroactively made the base for AoT 1: GOAT. Here are some previews of the new backgrounds, from our artist, Raka TB:


The DLC will most likely launch alongside the free upgrade patch.

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.

[ 2020-05-11 14:14:00 CET ] [ Original post ]

Upgrade notes/news

Work has begun on updating the entire codebase of both Army games to fit in with where things stand now. "Where things stand now" means two things: 1) Where the company stands/how far we've come 2) So that past Army of Tentacles framework/quality matches up with new additions to the franchise When we started out in 2016, we didn't quite know everything there is about game development. We still don't. We made mistakes, both financial and judgmental. Some big, some small. We know better coding tricks now, and we are more equipped to deal with the makings of a game. I think that anyone that has followed us over the past four and a half years has seen that we've grown as developers. We can't promise the Army 1 and Army 3 remasters - of which both would be free patches - this year. We have a bit on our plate, but it is also clearing up rather quickly. While we would love to have both patches hit in unison, Army 1 will probably hit first. There will most likely be a paid graphical upgrade DLC for Army 1 that will come sometime after the actual patch. Possibly. It all depends on if it seems worth it or not. What to expect in both games: Army of Tentacles 1 - New resolution (1920x1080) - Completely reworked code base - New UI - New attribute and leveling system - New shop/quest system - Completely reworked Army system - New party skill system - New Argument system Super Army of Tentacles 3: The Search for Army of Tentacles 2 - New map screen - Completely reworked code base - New UI - New attribute and leveling system - New shop/quest system - Completely reworked Army system - New party skill system - New Argument system These will, of course, break any current saves. It is being coded as to save currently popped achievements. Work has already begun on the UI. Have a nice day/night/timezone.

Self-Isolation and Indie Development Update

You'd think that self-isolation would be great for an indie dev, right? Forced to be inside? Well, yes and no. More no than yes. Release dates are all sorts of wacky right now. Halloween Times is going to hit its mark, but Rainbow Hollow may slip. I recently moved to Boston, and as such, have not been able to fully focus on game development. I'm taking a few days for myself until my work computer arrives late this week. Even then, I'm all out of sorts and discombobulated from both being in a new city, and not being able to get my bearings because of COVID-19 and the mess it caused. Oh, and I feel like I'm getting sick. No, not COVID symptoms, more like weird stomach stuff. I've got a schedule, but it is pretty tight, and when push comes to shove, it doesn't look good for the experiment known as Rainbow Hollow getting out anytime soon. I'm much more confident of getting Halloween Times out before summer, and even then, it is going to miss April completely for a May launch. Maybe. We'll see. In the coming weeks, we'll be putting up a poll and a forum thread about what people liked and disliked about the first two Army of Tentacles games. Take into mind that we would be revamping the quest, inventory, and attribute/stat systems regardless of comments and criticism. Stay safe out there.

PAPER SHAKESPEARE RPG: New name, new info, new stuff!


A few reasons for the name change. 'RPG' was a fun title to give the game, and the new Argument System worked incredibly well with the Paper Shakespeare universe, but at the end of the day, we just couldn't figure out how to make it all fit together perfectly. We wanted stats and abilities that we weren't sure worked. We wanted an item and money system when we didn't have a working stat system. We saw that we already had a "point-and-click" puzzle mechanic in place, so we decided to streamline things and make the puzzles the star gameplay mechanic. So we had to ditch the 'RPG' in the title as to avoid confusion and potential anger.
The game also went from a fun little side project, to something that we ripped our hairs out thinking about programming. Other things came up, other investors bought into our visions of sugar plums and whatnot. Suddenly, we didn't have time for the side project. With this simplified version of the game, we can get it done and put it out into the world as something fully baked. Not half-baked. We fully intent to come back to a Paper Shakespeare RPG in the future, but only when it can be done right, and have more of our attention. Expect a new trailer to be on the store page soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/828760/Paper_Shakespeare_The_Legend_of_Rainbow_Hollow/

FURRIES SCALIES: HALLOWEEN announced!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1112230/Furries__Scalies_Super_Scary_Halloween_Spooky_Times Announcing our last(?) game of 2020 (probably not, but right now, there's really nothing on the docket). Sort of kind of based on my time working Halloween stores for the past decade (but not really), but.... you know.... with talking animals and dragons. Oh, and Kaiju. Piggybacking off Friendswood's management gameplay, we're hoping to have a more robust system in place. It won't be a full-on management sim, but it will be cool as ice. But cooler than Vanilla Ice's 1991 masterpiece, Cool As Ice.

Next week, we'll be systematically patching all our games again with the new engine updates. Nothing major.

Pre-Summer 2020 Games


Just a reminder of our products line for pre-summer 2020: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1106950/Furries__Scalies_Friendswood Friendswood is set to come out early February. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082700/Dinosaur_Shakespeare_To_Date_or_Not_To_Date This one has been hard to crack. How do you end a trilogy, let alone one that is about dating sims? I rewrote the structure to this one, primarily because I was getting too angry and cynical about what this game is a metaphor for: climate change. It's a very different game in tone from our previous dating sims. We do hope you enjoy it. It's still the same style game, but it's also a bit different. Our third, unannounced game....
We'll most likely be putting up the store page for this bad mamma-jamma after Friendswood launches.

Paper Shakespeare 2 (re)announced!

For a variety of reasons, Dragongate's name is now changing to.... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1177650/Paper_Shakespeare_To_Date_or_Not_To_Date_2/ We feel that this name better suits the content of the game as it has evolved in the development cycle, as well as where it fits in the Paper Shakespeare timeline. We will be changing the rest of the storefront in the coming days, with new screenshots and a new trailer that reflect where the game now sits. It is still the game that we set out to make in Dragongate and it is still the game that you wishlisted, so don't be worried about that. We cannot wait to show more. Oh, and there should be more game announcements for the rest of 2020 *nervously looks at calendar* end of neeeeeeeeeeeeext weeeeeeeeeeek? Don't hold us to that.

WINTER'S TALE + Game Announcement!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1152210/Dashing_Dinosaurs__Sexy_Centaurs_Winters_Tale Our first(?) free game is out! I had the hankering to make a holiday game while waiting for 2020 art assets, and so here we are. Using mostly pre-existing assets, it was a learning experience. Mainly, if I were to do a free game again, it would be less characters. It primarily utilizes the format set up in Dashing Dinosaurs & Sexy Centaurs, but with more of an evolved gameplay set-up. With that, our 2019 product list is all but done, except for the Furry Shakespeare DLC out sometime next week. Just in time for Friday the 13th. Speaking of 2020 art assets... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1177650/Dragongate_The_Fantasy_ElectionDating_Sim This one was going to be announced with another game, but it was felt that Dragongate should breath on its own.

    Argument System 3.0 and YOU!


    We at the office have been working on the new foundation code for Super Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim, and are so happy with its progress that we have decided to tear out the combat system for Paper Shakespeare RPG and replace it with the new update to the Army of Tentacles series' Argument System. Honestly? It works better with the theme of the game, and means that we can get it out sooner. We are still hard at work on a combat system for a later RPG.

    What will be included in the new system?


    A much more code-friendly system means that stats will greatly affect the word battles, as well as giving us the the opportunity to make much cooler skills that affect the battles in much deeper ways.

    Will you be putting Argument System 3.0 in the previous two Army of Tentacles games? Say, before the new Army of Tentacles comes out?


    I would love to say yes. Let's get into why it might not happen, or might take a while to happen. Because of the way the original Utahraptor framework (the thing that holds all our systems together in RenPy) was written, it would require a complete code overhaul, and that means an overhaul of two separate games. In that case, we're basically redoing Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim and Super Army of Tentacles 3: The Search for Army of Tentacles 2 from the ground up. Even with an existing script to work off of, we're also talking all of the DLC, the works. Everything would be redone. Every scene, every quest, every Argument, every mechanic. Then we'd need to actually take the copy-pasted Argument System 3.0 and make sure it would have the things required for that specific game. We're also talking about doing this at no cost to the user, just a simple, free patch. Sadly, we have to weigh that in as a factor, as we do have other games on the slate. We're talking about a 2016 game and a 2017 game, after all. Would we improve the art and resolution for Army 1, to put it in line with the other two games in the trilogy? Would we do art but just leave the resolution the same? Is it unfair to any new or existing players to leave Army 1 and Army 3 as is if the new one is going to be, for lack of any other term, badass?

    The Summary


    Paper Shakespeare RPG is getting a cooler combat system. Dunno yet if the previous Army of Tentacles game will get a facelift. We're very excited to show you the next step.

    Dashing Dinosaurs Sexy Centaurs out! New Army of Tentacles soon?

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/947070/Dashing_Dinosaurs__Sexy_Centaurs Around Early January/Late December, we'll formally announce the rest of our 2020 games. We're finally getting Mythos Ever After: A Cthulhu Dating Sim done up, and have a new investor for two new Furry/Scalie dating sims. This is the reason why we shifted PS RPG to 2021, but we'll talk about that more down below....

    RPGs in 2021


    We're going back to our roots for 2021, and announcing a new VN-RPG hybrid. Two, actually. With Paper Shakespeare RPG, that rounds it out to three. We are currently developing the systems that they will work off, and basically scrapped what we had so far for PS RPG in order to make something that could work peacefully with two of the three games. Why two of the three? Well, because two are traditional RPG combat, and one is combat via conversation.
    Yes, we're finally getting around to the third and final chapter in our current (and very weird) Army of Tentacles trilogy. We won't be formally announcing with a store page until next year. It is going to be a standalone game that doesn't need the first two in order to feel complete, and yet will act as a sequel and final entry in the trilogy to those that have played the games before. So, next year is gonna be three Furry/Scalie Dating Sims and then Joe Papp to round it out. 2021 is in development, but not active production. We look forward to sharing more about all our upcoming projects soon!

    release date changes.

    Dashing Dinosaurs & Sexy Centaurs: August 28th. Why?: Game is done and in full run testing right now. An October release date was originally set because of all the obstacles this year, but we are fairly confident that we can release late next month. Paper Shakespeare RPG: Unknown. Why?: We can talk about why this was changed early next year (possibly, if not sooner). Originally, this was meant to be just another small Stick Figure Shakespeare game with "traditional" combat elements, but we may be doing something else next year that has taken its place.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/828760/Paper_Shakespeare_RPG_Saga_of_the_Five_Kingdoms Hopefully/probably not our only RPG in development for next year, but certainly our most experimental. It feels good to be going back to the role playing game genre again. Why hand-drawn? Because. Well, really, because it continues the storyline that we set up with the very first Paper Shakespeare, but more importantly, [spoilers]. We wanted to fully explore the stick figure version of the Shakespeare dimensions that inhabit the universe that both Paper Shakespeare and Army of Tentacles reside in. It'll most likely be $4.99, with no real set release date yet.

    Removal of the Outfit/Quest Pack DLC.

    As of this morning, we are no longer selling the QUEST and OUTFIT packs. It did not make any sense to continue selling them as individual DLCs after Black GOAT had come out. We initially were selling them alongside Black GOAT for customers who might only want those specific DLCs bundled together, but the amount of copies sold were very little. So, in an effort to cut down on our number of products (specifically DLC since we do know that we have a lot and some people may be put off by that), we asked Valve to retire those two products. This does not impact anyone who already has them in their library.

Schedule has changed a bit. We were steadily working on a game for December, but a few things happened: 1) Our artist suddenly got a bigger contract and could not complete it until later next year. 2) We got contracted to do a game. It's exciting and a challenge for us, as it is a type of game that we have never worked on before. So, in the place of:

    It's a very different game for us, but we feel that we can infuse it with our style as well as do the theme justice. You will be meeting anthropomorphic animals and dragons. That's the deal. We've done Lovecraft. We've done Shakespeare. Time to do Furries. Just a quick update. Expect Furries' store page in a month or so, with Mythos' store page by at least summer. As for other 2019 stuff, we're kind of mulling the idea of an Army of Tentacles prequel which would serve more context for the final Army of Tentacles as well as some of the stuff in Army 3. The final Army game is still in the oven, we've just been sidetracked with smaller projects. December 2019, if all goes well, should be another medium sized game. Welp.

    BUNDLE INFO.

    As we are quickly approaching four games, we thought it best to clarify the categorization and order that our games will be bundled together by:

    Army of Tentacles: Ultimate H.P. LOLcraft Deluxe Platinum Non-Award Winning Pack


    Will only be adding one new game, and that would be the third and final Army of Tentacles VN-RPG. Since the UHPDPNAWP is Black GOAT Edition only, we will probably be making a new bundle specfically for Army Next (not its real name) at the outset.

    The Ancient Texts Pack


    Will include all games adapted from previous writings from members of our company. The two first included will be Joe Papp and Game 5 (which will be announced shortly after Paper Shakespeare's launch).

    The 100% WAIFU Pack


    Will be all the dating sims. Yes, we said plural.

    Buy Every Game We've Ever Made (thank you)


    Will be every game we've ever made. No collections, no DLC, just every base version of every game that we have ever made. Obviously, everything that is not "counted" towards the previous lists ends up here. A note on packs: Each game that gets some sort of Ultimate Edition later on down the line will have that version replace the base version (along with all DLC for that game) in the bundle.

    Future Discounts.

    I feel that we need to make an official announcement about this, lest people start going "hey, they said they were going to do X and aren't. Unreliable devs! Pitchforks!". Originally, the plan was to always bundle the base versions of the Army games with the Black GOAT versions in any future discount sale, but after having both internal as well as external discussions, we feel that it is in everyone's best interest to keep them separate. We honestly thought that people would want to have the option of both discounted products during the same sale, but found that it just ended up being really confusing. We also didn't/don't want to run the risk of someone buying the same exact product during a sale. It also comes down to choice: if someone is looking to buy Army 1 to test it out, they are going to buy Army 1, regardless of the price of the GOAT Edition. And if someone is going to refund one of our games based on a test run, it is really not in our best interest for it to be the higher priced one. Refunded DLC is much better than a refunded fully priced game. As for official Steam sales such as the Summer and Winter sales, both will be on sale at the same time.

    TWO-YEAR SALE going on now!


    So, we've been in existence a while. February 15th is our official two-year anniversary, but since Army 3 GOAT just landed, we felt like extending the sale to incorporate the launch week discount. As with Army 1 GOAT, now that Army 3 GOAT is out, we're trying to figure out how to best do future sales of the Army of Tentacles series. Well, at least the first two games. We have ideas for the third. We're busy developing it. Nuturing it. Growing it. But it won't be this year. We're gonna try to get through our next two games first, and then see where we are post-summer.

    Year Update: Winter Sale and Early 2018

    STEAM WINTER SALE



    WHAT'S UP FOR 2018?


    A few things. I'm not going to go into a bunch of medical mumbo jumbo, but it looks like I'm out of the woods in terms of a long recovery. That is as specific as I feel I need to be. On to the fun stuff: FUTURE NON-OFFICIAL SALES: With Army 1: Black GOAT coming out next month, we've been having internal discussions about how to handle discounts on Army 1 going forward. Right now, we're thinking of having Army 1: Black GOAT be the primary product to go on sale, and Army 1 Vanilla just won't. We don't know if there will be less sales next year or not. So far, sales are not hurting us, but we also don't know how many people are holding off from buying because of frequent sales. PROJECT WERNER HERZOG: This is Army 3. Werner Herzog was the codename. Army 1's codename was Tumnus. WINTER OUTFIT PACKS 1 & 2: Will be out sometime next month. ISLE OF THE CAT GIRLS may be moved up due to fun new life obstacles. http://store.steampowered.com/app/592816/SUPER_ARMY_OF_TENTACLES_3_XPACK_III_Isle_of_the_Cat_Girls/ ARMY OF TENTACLES: (NOT) A CTHULHU DATING SIM: BLACK GOAT OF THE WOODS EDITION: Launches after the Winter Sale. This is simply the base game plus all the DLC, nothing new. It will most likely be replacing all the Army 1 content in the Non-Award Winning bundle. http://store.steampowered.com/app/770380/Army_of_Tentacles_Not_A_Cthulhu_Dating_Sim_Black_GOAT_of_the_Woods_Edition/ PROJECT UPDIKE: Will probably be formally announced around the time Isle launches. PROJECT RED NOTEBOOK: Just started formulating the team for that one. Would love to get it out alongside Updike, but time (and funds) will tell. HYPOTHETICAL D&D DLC FOR THE GHOST OF JOE PAPP: Again, this is up to funds. It would be by Halloween.

    JOE PAPP Early Release(?)


    The Ghost of Joe Papp (possible) Early Release


    Due to the looming need for surgery and medical care (plus the ever-evaporating idea of managable health insurance) - and honestly, a wee bit of nervousness of getting lost in the current of the Steam Winter Sale - Game 3 might be releasing on Monday. Monday, Monday. We'll be working overtime over the weekend to get the game in order. The game, right now, is fuly playable, but we've got maybe 2% branching paths left to go down. Maybe 1%. I don't know percents. I use websites to calculate sales discounts. If it's not out Monday, it's not out Monday.

    It has come to our attention that Black Friday Peter, an XMas DLC character, shows up during the base game. We have isolatd this to some rogue code pertaining to quest structure.

    The final DLC of 2017!

    The original title was Children of the Old Gods. We thought of a better one.
    Featuring three new quests and bosses. http://store.steampowered.com/app/717260/SUPER_ARMY_OF_TENTACLES_3_XPACK_IIV_Apocalypse_Bunny_Saves_Christmas/?beta=1

    2018: the plan for now


    Below is our at-the-moment plan for next year. A few new DLCs, a few new, smaller VN-RPGs. With the surgery coming up, we as a company will probably not be taking on a "Next Step" project. This means that the final Army of Tentacles may be taking a break to 2019. We already have some ideas for a few fun but light games.
    • New Game+ Benefits 2 sometime in February. We'd like to hit Valentine's Day, but with production up in the air, who knows.
    • Game 4: Untitled Literature-Based Dating Sim. Think of those "What If Literary Characters Had Facebook?" books and memes. It will be something along those lines. But with more waifus. So Dawson's Creek Meets Great Literature. April 2018?
    • Game 5: Either will be Untitled Superhero Slice-of-Life, which would be based on a play like Joe Papp, or Untitled Horror Comedy Halloween VN-RPG. The latter, we'd try for Halloween 2018.
    • New Game Charity DLCs: Following the release of each new game, we're going to have more Charity DLC.
    All this is TBD, of course.

    Old Gods for the Children, Charity Pack #3


    Our Child's Play/Desert Bus for Hope charity outfit pack is out, thus ending the Army of Tentacles charity DLCs.

    Year Update: EXPACK 3 DELAYED, EXPACK 2.5 NOW IN EXISTENCE

    So, regarding my recent medical discovery, my upcoming surgery, and the financial/biological factors involved, here is what we've decided to do: [olist]

  • EXPACK 3 is delayed to at least February. If we have to delay the Dating Sim DLC a few months, Valentine's Day is the best substitute launch of the bunch.
  • There will be a new DLC for December to fill the void: EXPACK 2.5, which we have decided to call CHILDREN OF THE OLD GODS. It will be much smaller than EXPACK 3 (which, judging by our plot outline, is going to actually be pretty big; adding about an hour to two hours worth of new content). It will most likely have two new quests, and limited new art if any at all. [/olist] Why CHILDREN OF THE OLD GODS?
  • GNOME was all about fleshing out the Time Vortex crisis.
  • HALLOWEEN (of which we have maybe three final names picked out and are deciding between right now) is going to explore the Children of Nodens that are briefly mentioned in your home base. Unlike the Children of Dagon or any of the other Old Gods, the Children of Nodens are a human cult. We have never explored cult politics in our world before.
  • NEW GAME+ BENEFITS 2 is to be the funny lil' dating sim content. But we also want to tie up the loose end of where the hell exactly the Old Gods are going when they vanish from the face of the planet. Is it all a part of the bad guys master plan, or is it something else?
  • CHILDREN OF THE OLD GODS is to be a story parallel to the before-mentioned cult politics plot. What about the new generation, born either after or shortly before the Lovecraftian Apocalypse? What does it mean to be a Child of Old God Y if you've never known a world in which the Old Gods were asleep and not fighting Old God X? We're also working hard on not having to push The Ghost of Joe Papp. The Desert Bus/Child's Play outfit pack will be out late next week.

    Bryy here (I mean, it's always safe to assume that I'm the one writing these things because, 90% of the time, I am). Update on the rest of the year. Earlier this morning, I ran into some medical issues - some old war wounds that decided they would like to wish me a late happy birthday. Nothing major, and even the definition of the surgery I need is minor. Which is a let-down, as I totally would have been cool with looking up the classification and finding that it just passes for MAJOR SURGERY. However, having had this surgery at least once in my lifetime, I can tell you that the recovery process is rather long and hard on the body. But on to the meat. What does this mean for the rest of the year?

    • CHARITY DLC #3: DESERT BUS: Moved from this week to most likely next week due to doctor visits.
    • SPOOPY! SALE: Expect it to be moved to late this month and downsized to Army 3 only. There will still be an Army 1 sale in mid-October.
    • HALLOWEEN QUEST AND OUTFIT PACK: Still on track for October 13th.
    • NEW GAME+ BENEFITS 2 EXPANSION PACK: Depends on recovery. If the surgery is in November, expect NG+B2 in January. If December, expect February.
    • The Ghost of Joe Papp: Same as NG+B2. Depends on recovery. If the surgery is in November, expect Joe Papp in January. If December, expect February.

    patch v1.27 and the final Charity DLC for the Army series


    • RECODED THE ENTIRE OUTFIT CLOSET MENU. Outfits are now easier to get in and out of, and it is easier to revert to your normal skins.
    • REPATHED OUTFIT LOCATIONS. Please see the Store pages of each respective outfit pack to see where they are now located within the Outfit Menu tree.

    CHARITY DLC UPDATE


    The final Army Charity DLC should drop next week. It is an outfit pack. All profits go towards Desert Bus for Hope/Child's Play.

    GAME #3 and TIMELINE FOR 2017


    We're just now starting work on our third game (and second IP), The Ghost of Joe Papp. While we can't really reveal anything about it at this point, we can say that it is going to be far less intense than either Army games were. It will have less RPG elements than Army 1 or Army 3 had, even though there will still be gameplay mechanics to interact with. It's still going to be a game within your control. There will be objectives, your characters will be able to do things based on your command, etc. It's just going to be different, which we feel is good. Not every single one of our games should feel the same in style nor should they be the same in execution. It will be $4.99 - $8.99 range. The next you hear about Joe Papp will most likely be when we put the Coming Soon page up on Steam in late October/early November. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Timeline for the Rest of 2017


    SEPTEMBER: Army 1 Charity DLC and Army 3 Charity DLC #2 OCTOBER: Army 3 Halloween Quest and Outfit Pack NOVEMBER: - DECEMBER: Army 3 New Game+ Benefits 2 Quest Pack, The Ghost of Joe Papp


    [ 2017-09-06 03:59:53 CET ] [ Original post ]

    Halloween DLC update(!) future charity DLC(?)


    HALLOWEEN


    The next quest pack, the Halloween Pack (name tbd), will feature two quests as well as two outfits packs - for a total of 28 outfits..... total. Twitch Con is right before Halloween this year, and while the original plan was to have two separate Halloween DLC packs, we thought combining them made more sense. The Twitch Con pack will be more game-related. All of the Halloween outfits are in various stages of completion. The Twitch Con outfits come next. After Twitch Con, the new character art for the new quests will be hammered out. We have 3 new bosses (4 if you count branching paths) and a host of new characters to interact with. Expect the Halloween DLC to drop on Friday the 13th.

    POTENTIAL NEW CHARITY DLCs


    One for Army 1, one for Army 3. We're discussing making a DISASTER RELIF pack for Army 1 (with the profits initially going towards Harvey and Irma relief) as well as a CHILD'S PLAY/DESERT BUS FOR HOPE outfit pack for Army 3. Once again, all profits would go towards various charities around the globe. We wouldn't see a cent. Those would drop this month, presumably.

    Charity DLC launch.

    So, a bit of a preface. Over here in the studio, we're looking at the state of the world this year, and how everyone is all ungodly, unfathomably angry. We're seeing a resurgence of some really icky stuff. It's hard to be a creative when the world is burning down around you. We can't just sit around putting out our video games like nothing is going on. But what we can do is put out a DLC where all profits go to a few global charities and/or human rights services. We humbly submit to the Midnight Society.... Nazis Are Stupid And Dumb. http://store.steampowered.com/app/698130/SUPER_ARMY_OF_TENTACLES_3_NAZIS_ARE_STUPID_AND_DUMB/


    [ 2017-08-23 02:31:54 CET ] [ Original post ]

    GOD MAKES GNOME MISTAKES quest pack coming next month!


    We're pleased to announce the first of three quest packs, God Makes Gnome Mistakes, is launching September 1st! It dives a bit more into the backstory of the Time Vortex crisis, and elaborates on just how powerful they actually are - and the damage to the fabric of time-space that they can cause. The base campaign talked about the Time Vortex issue, but other than a simple summary that they "spit things out", we really never delved into what they actually were. So we decided to make a quest pack to flesh out this portion of the story. http://store.steampowered.com/app/594540/SUPER_ARMY_OF_TENTACLES_3_XPACK_I_God_Makes_Gnome_Mistakes/ We are right now working on a Halloween-themed DLC, which will also include an outfit pack. That will hopefully hit on Friday the 13th, but if not, then it'll come in right before the Steam Halloween Sale. After that, we hope to start work on a "New Game+ Benefit 2" of some sort. That would be December-January. That would end the Super Army of Tentacles 3 story. But as always, DLC is optional and is not required to fully experience the game. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEALTH DLC: Valve has not approved it yet, which is why this news update is not a double-whammy, but we have a smaller DLC coming later this or next week that will benefit various charities and services around the globe.

    Brian Tries To Draw! Outfit DLC released!


    The last of the summer outfits are here.... and this batch is a little weird. A gritty reimagining of every party member. http://store.steampowered.com/app/592810/SUPER_ARMY_OF_TENTACLES_3_Brian_Tries_To_Draw_Outfit_Pack/ We have plans for September, October, and December as well. Our aim was to make a New Game+ Benefits 2 type post-story expansion, but we realized that a lot of the quests that we wanted to do didn't quite fit. It expanded upon elements of the story but at the cost of watering down the expansion's story. So, while we still want to focus on three entirely different aspects of the story, we're going to split them up into two quest packs and one post-story expansion. This also brings the price down for all three, and doesn't "force" anyone to pay for content that they'll never see nor go for. For lack of a MUCH better term. It also allows us to get the content out to you quicker. What was six sidequests and one story quest now becomes two, two, and three. Also, two Halloween outfit packs are in the works. As for future non-Army of Tentacles games? We have ideas, but as of now are focusing on these three quest packs. An actual Army 3 probably won't be around for a while, as there are other stories and IPs that we want to get out. The next few games probably won't be as intensive, mechanics-wise, as Army 1 or Army 3 were. Hope everyone has a nice day.

    SHOP UPDATE, pt. 2

    Since it is such a drastic change in how Sanity items work, the new status quo might break current saves if you have any Sanity item that is not the Ancient Irish Cap. We apologize for any inconvenience that this causes.


    [ 2017-06-17 09:13:21 CET ] [ Original post ]

    patch v1.05


    SHOPS: - This is one that has been mucking around for a while, and we finally decided to change it. Now, there is only one shop that has a Sanity upgrade. This was done so because it felt ridiculous and counter-productive to have eight different Sanity upgrade items that didn't do much in the long run. So now there is one +10 Sanity item. CHOICES: - The ARK choice now shows up in both the final Ignus Ross fight as well as if you meet him on a side quest and do battle. It will flag which Ignus Ross fight gave the corresponding scene. QUEST BUGS: - "Law of The Land" now works properly if you take an odd route in San Francisco before talking to Lt. Dan. ARGUMENTS: - The placement of the Karakal fight has been changed. - Unicorn now shows the proper intro image. - San Diego Star Spawn now shows the proper intro image. - Various typos. GENERAL: - pauses have been taken out of the code and replaced with timed dissolves. - Typos fixed. - Ganymede's images during random conversations in your base have been fixed.

    patch v1.04


    General code cleanup.


    [ 2017-06-14 21:00:59 CET ] [ Original post ]

    patch v1.03


    PARTY: - All ally abilities have been reworked. - Gaia now boosts max Sanity instead of healing current Sanity. This is to make Cady more of a combo healer than a base healer. - Kirk, Janet, and Tankhammer now have enough differentiation in their "counter hit" abilities to warrant equal use. - Passives now work first turn/hit only. MENU: - All party member menus have been redone to simplify their language. SCREENS: - Ally Ability tutorial menu has been redone. BUGS: - Some pathcode has been rewritten as to avoid erroring out in certain party banter spots.


    [ 2017-06-11 21:53:17 CET ] [ Original post ]

    patch v1.02


    * PARTY ABILITIES: - Redid both Kirk and Tankhammer's ally ability durations and effects. This is to facilitate party rotation as well as put an emphasis on secret party member specialty. NOTE: We know that both Ogid New and Cady Phillips do not heal properly. We are working on a fix. Healing works a bit differently in code than other, easier abilities. * MAIN PATH: - Mot Tak's shop no longer errors out if you have freed him but are still in Act 1. - Changed the location of Lobon's call code. - In the first scene of Act 2, Area 51 became locked if you did not exit right away. This has been fixed. - Truncated location labels.


    [ 2017-06-10 04:42:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

    patch v1.01

    * Redid the Cthonian enemy argument in order to make the intro battle a bit more managable and streamlined.

    BABY'S FIRST PATCH! * FIXED a pathing error in which some cases of going to the San Francisco Ferry Building in Act 1 would leak into Act 2. * TYPOS

    The Old Gods are cold. Calculating. Ever waiting. Ever patient. Slumbering towards that day in which the cosmic apocalypse beckons.

    And then somebody just has to pull a Leroy Jenkins and start the fun early.

    Perry Hollycraft has been called out of "retirement" (i.e. the death plane known as the Dreamlands) in order to figure out what Old God did what, when, and why. The rest of the pantheon isn't too happy that the apocalypse has been called early. With Gods fighting among themselves in a bid to take advantage of the situation, and the rules thrown out the window, Perry has more than their work cut out for them. Who do you trust (your party members, probably)? Where do you turn (the available hub areas)? How many endings in this game actually differ from one another (we cut it down from twelve to five, but mileage may vary)? Do your choices matter (it depends on how you define "matter" in the context of a video game)? When will this structure of questions end (now)?

    Will you save humanity in order to destroy it, or will you just plain save humanity?

    FEATURES
    • Broadcast in glorious 1920x1080!
    • A brand new, 100% deeper Argument System!
    • What's more revolutionary than a silent protagonist for the first game? How about a COMPLETELY SILENT SEQUEL?!?! LIKE, RIGHT????
    • 15 party members, ranging from Army 1 party to Army 1 NPCs to newbies!
    • More skill options and more attributes!
