2026: Sales, Games, etc.2026-01-20https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33017070/4cdf4cc9e1a147d4110ef4c3a1c70bed0f131919.png 2025 was a year of change for us. We tried new sales strategies, especially in Summer Sale and Retail Halloween, that failed spectacularly while also giving us the data that we needed to move forward. We also noticed that our player base was not exactly growing in the ways it had even during the COVID lockdowns. We also got hit ridiculously hard by refund scams. 2026 - 2027 will focus on less sales, less games on sale per sale, and less games being produced (which partially is due to the Shakespeare Saga closing). 2019-2021's production level was

We're trying a bit of a different format with this game, as it is no longer a Dating Sim, but a straight narrative with a stronger emphasis on reactivity and newer mechanics! It's also the first of a trilogy that actually deals with the War of the Roses! If you're going to end your Shakespeare Sag

2026 Prep2025-11-30https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33017070/154f68261c2daabf4d6840e6e85fecb1b7cebc08.png So, the big project that we have planned - and started - for next year quickly revealed itself to be physically impossible to pay for, even for a 2027 title. So we pivoted. 2026 is our 10th year in existence, and as such, we have at least one 10th Anniversary game planned: Army of Tentacles. Now, this would essentially be a DLC-sized and priced upgraded version of AoT 1. New quests, an entirely new Army Invasion system, new party member skills and a much more robost Word Battle system. But that will mostly be an October-ish game, and pre-Summer Sa

It's going to be our (minus the two collections) 50th game! As far as Dinosaur Shakespeare 3 goes, that chonky boi may take a backseat so we can focus on a 10th Anniversary game for early 2026. If we get around to getting it ready before New Year's 2025, that'd be cool,
