[ 2024-06-14 19:55:33 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

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.

[ 2024-01-11 04:46:14 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2410350/Dinosaur_Shakespeare_To_Date_Or_Not_To_Date_2_Winter_of_our_Discontent/ Announcing Dinosaur Shakespeare 2! Dinosaur Shakespeare is back, in DLC form! Why a DLC-sequel? Besides financial reasons (paying the Steam App ID for a full title wouldn't be that wise right now), a DLC allows us to still put out a sequel while experimenting with new, yet more compact, gameplay styles for a future iteration in a bigger game set with the Dino Shakes universe. It lets us make a smaller Dino Shakes game, while still working on the larger projects of the year. That and we wanted to.

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

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.

New Frontiers

Last Christmas, I started working on a non-VN with input from my cousins, and the restrictions were that I had to do whatever they gave me, within reason. So now the Velociraptor has Telekinesis and the Pterodactyl has the water levels. It's going to be our first platformer, and our first game in a new engine. No idea when the store page is going up.

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.

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. BUT. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1923621/Embers_of_the_Zombie_Battlemage_Halloween_Real_Werewolves_of_Massachusetts Here's a small content DLC for Embers of the Zombie Battlemage that we cooked up over the weekend, adding a new Guest Path throughout the entire game. 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. We're not giving out Halloween treats in the form of spoilers.

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

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.

Much like Joe Papp (okay, EXACTLY like The Ghost of Joe Papp), this also was a play written in college.

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

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

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.

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.

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 ]

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.

[ 2021-05-12 20:33:21 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

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.

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.

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/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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
