KITTENS/SF: MONSTERS is OUT!

[ 2022-08-09 18:52:45 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

lunar new year sale + 5th year sale!


You know, when you're moving cross-country and you have horrible internet that won't be fixed for a few days, and the office is a mess, and you have little contact with the rest of the team, things happen. Things like not realizing the Steam sale started this morning and you just figured it out via a combination of checking your phone messages and looking on Twitter to see that Steam is trending. I imagine Ted Lasso giving that speech. Maybe over darts. Okay, so, brass tacks: The 2020 Steam Lunar New Year Sale is on now until it's not! Then, when THAT sale is done, boy oh boy oh golly, do we have a surprise for you that's not actually a surprise at all! Our Happy Five Years of Not Going Out Of Business Sale is hitting! 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.

We apologize for the error in the discount sale where we put down 75% for the Army 3 GOAT, but somehow, we only wrote down 15% when inputting the actual discount data on our end. This is something that should not have even been an "easy error to make", and we will be reviewing all of our discounts more closely in the future, sometimes even multiple times leading up to a sale.

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.


[ 2020-10-17 15:46:20 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

Stealth as in we're gonna try to get it out by Halloween, but if we can't, we can't. I was busy taking the last week a half to recode Army of Tentacles: New Game+ Benefits, and got the itch to make a pure dating sim in the Army universe.

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.

AoT 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.

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:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1112230/Furries__Scalies_Super_Scary_Halloween_Spooky_Times This one was weird for me. Yeah, it's anthro animals and dragons, yes, there are still remnants of the dating sim formula that has worked well for us, but it's also filled with real stuff that happened to both Amber and myself working the past decade for retail. A majority of that, for me, was in this or that Halloween seasonal store. So there's content in it. Just to tell you know. Anyhow. We have a few more unannounced games to announce, which are smaller and we feel easier to "pump out" alongside our bigger lineup that we feel we can get done by the year's end - Joe Papp 2, Rainbow Hollow, Paper Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date 2, and Lizards Lost.

Upgrade/Update news


Work has begun on updating the entire codebase 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.

This has been an interesting first two months for us. First, Dragongate becomes Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date? 2, then Paper Shakespeare RPG gets revamped into Paper Shakespeare: The Legend of Rainbow Hollow. It's been a lot of Paper Shakespeare shenanigans. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1177650/Paper_Shakespeare_To_Date_or_Not_To_Date_2 Now, PS:TDONTD?2 (Or just PS: Date 2) has undergone a massive art overhaul, with the previous art moving to a different game that we hope to announce sometime in December. There's a new trailer, too. Also, until the 6th, there's a Steam Visual Novel sale going on.

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.

Halloween Sale + Future News


Stealth Free Game


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1152210/Dashing_Dinosaurs__Sexy_Centaurs_Winters_Tale Why a free game? Where is Dinosaur Shakespeare? Had to move Dinosaur Shakespeare to April(?) of next year for a few reasons: 1) Keep in line with the Elsinore Academy release dates 2) We got a new investor and they would rather that we focus on known factors So, in place of Dinosaur Shakespeare, we decided to spin together a freebie for you all. Is it really free? Yes. There will be a Donation DLC that launches alongside it. This will include a small new scene and a chance to interact more with the characters of the game.

Investor? The Next Year


So, a while after Furries & Scalies & Bears OH MY!, we caught of the eye of a new investor. This is also the reason why Paper Shakespeare RPG has been pushed back. Instead of telling us what game they wanted us to make, they simply wanted: 1) That we make four games in the next two years based on our best known titles, which are furry dating sims and Army of Tentacles 2) They get a percentage from the monthly revenue of each title The next year of titles will be announced in time, but right now the schedule for 2020 - 2021 looks like this: 1) Investor Game: New Fantasy Genre "Fire Emblem-type" dating sim 2) Investor Game: Mythos Ever After: A Cthulhu Dating Sim 3) Dinosaur Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date? 4) Investor Game: New Furries & Scalies title (the F&S franchise going forward will exist outside the F&S&BOM! game as those characters are owned by Stefan Klaus) 5) The Ghost of Joe Papp 2 6) Investor Game: Super Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim It's not as impressive as a Marvel Movie Timeline, we know. Do we really need to tell you this information? No, not really. Do we want to keep people informed of what we are doing? Yes.


[ 2019-10-28 17:01:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

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 coming?

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!

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.

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. Hope everyone has a nice day/night!

    PAPER SHAKESPEARE: STICK MERCHANT OF VENICE


    https://store.steampowered.com/app/852750/Paper_Shakespeare_Stick_Merchant_of_Venice/ Alongside Geeks, we wll also be coming out with a smaller game that exists within the Paper Shakespeare universe. There was a lot of internal discussion about whether or not a smaller game would hurt either the Paper Shakespeare series or the SGD brand, or both. Ultimately, we decided to put it out there just to see. It will be our first game with no charity DLC, instead opting to give some of the profits from the game itself to charity. It is also our last game until the autumn season.

    PAPER SHAKESPEARE is out!

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/702940/Paper_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date/ Next one probably won't launch at midnight. We'll see how things pan out. Expect to hear about Game 5 next week sometime.

    Clarity on bundles.

    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.

    Announcing PAPER SHAKESPEARE!

    Announcing our fourth game and second new IP! http://store.steampowered.com/app/702940/Paper_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date/ Set in a universally acclaimed university for budding royalty, Paper Shakespeare drops you in a world full of waifus and husbandos straight out of.... well, Shakespeare. It's as traditional a dating sim as we could make. So it's gonna be weird. Project Red Notebook may slip to June, which is murky because that's right before the Summer Sale usually happens. If it slips to July, we'll let you know. May is probably a pipe dream, but we'll see.

    Discount Sales: Future notes.

    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 CURRENTLY LIVE.


    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.

    Did you miss out on Army of Tentacles, all the rage in 2016? You can play catch-up with this Ultimate Signature Awesome Other Words Used In Marketing Edition! All at a substantial discount!

    Dagon is all like 'yo' and Perry/you is all like 'sup'. Dagon needs you to destroy the human town of Innsmouth, but you're all like 'there are a lot of people living there, so I'mma need to get an army worthy of Mordor so I can simply walk into Innsmouth'. Dagon's all 'sure, but you have a time limit because that's how this game has replayability'.

    At its heart, AoT:(N)ACDS is a coming-of-age tale about a boy/girl that is totally going to destroy humanity. By humanity, we mean a small coastal town. It is the Adventure-RPG based upon Shadow Over Innsmouth, where you control the eldritch horrors from beyond time and space! Inspired by classic RPGs, Lucasarts adventure games, and, you know, other cool stuff.


    Features


    - ALL the paid and free DLC (minus the charity DLC) that came out for the base game

    - Quirky 2D art with photography backdrops. Like the theme of sanity in all of Lovecraft's works, the art changes - sometimes drastically based on where you are in the game, who you are talking to, and what you are doing.

    - Time management is also a factor, as some areas only open up at certain times, and you may find yourself unable to train everyone you want before the final invasion of Innsmouth.

    - A SILENT PROTAGONIST. REVOLUTIONARY.

    - Fully voiced cast of 60+ characters!

    - Four central hub areas

    - Whale Jesus (but only in the most awesome of playthroughs)

    - Use your wits to engage in battles where words are sharper than swords or other things that hurt people in reality! Because NOBODY has EVER done conversation-based combat before!

    - Recruit a party of THOUSANDS (if thousands meant six), ranging from Deep Ones to Night Gaunts, all staples of the Lovecraft mythos! Find hidden army squads and party members to further puff up your ranks!

    - Do things that relate to other things and provide consequences of choice! We totally have more than three differently colored endings! We swear! (At least five! One is even pink!)
