Secret Agendas. . .
Secret Agent Wizard Boy was a normal Wizard Boy on his way to his first year at Wizard School until he received a message from MI6.
"Wizard Boy," it said. "We've received intel that the headmaster of Wizard School, Grumblemort, is the leader of a criminal organization named S.P.I.D.E.R. We need you to investigate!"
And so Wizard Boy started his first year at Wizard School, trying to uncover the mysteries that lay before him.
Secret Agent Wizard Boy is a sandbox wizard sim that can be played alone or in cooperative(?) multiplayer. Explore (blow up) the castle, find secrets, solve puzzles, and discover the mystery hidden deep in the castle.

Hi everyone!
I had a sudden urge a few weeks ago to do something about Sumo! Revise here. Small backstory: Sumo! Revise was the reason I quit development for several years. Upon release, it got what, at the time, was pretty major backlash, netting tons of negative reviews and some people writing me some. . . well, choice comments, about what I made.
This really dragged my confidence to the ground. Later the same year, Rubber Ducky moved through Greenlight and released as well to better reception. But Sumo! Revise stuck in my mind and kinda' acted as a metal block to anything I tried to do in the future.
I'm now several games down the line of Sumo! Revise, working full time as a game developer, and I think it's time to redeem it. Here's how.

Step 1: I will be changing the game to F2P, starting tomorrow, since the game no longer makes sales. To anyone that has spent money on the game - please email [email protected] and I will give you a key to Kyle is Famous, which is $15 and worth a lot more than Sumo! Revise was.
Step 2: Update the Steam backend. I have added in a ton of missing branding assets on Steam, redone the tags, updated info, etc. This actually means a lot for the Steam algorithm to recommend the game.
Step 3: Updating the game, slightly. I want to make a couple really important changes to the game. Firstly, I want to make "professional mode" the default so there's a score counter and time in between matches. I want to decrease the lag after attacking, and I want to add some air influence. These changes will be made carefully to not tread on the original vision of the game, but I think will be enough to make the game a lot more fun. Note: this WILL depend on whether I can find the original game files. We shall see!
Step 4: Tournament? Depending on the reception, I may even host a small tournament with a pot off of my Discord. Keep tabs for that.
The goal will be to reverse the flow of negative reviews and get Sumo! Revise to be at least "Positive" here on Steam. If I can get there, I will be immensely satisfied. If you want to help me get there, I'd appreciate a review! But of course, please only do so if you truthfully enjoyed the game. :)
Love you all. Thank you for reading.
-John

Survival Horror, but with Puppets
Hey guys! I am super happy to report that I finally have a brand new project to share. Ever wonder what your favorite children's TV shows would look like with a dash of survival horror? MFN is the marriage of survival horror and puppets, giving you an open world to fight through and explore, big mysteries to solve, puzzles out the whazoo, and a ton more.
So what sort of things should you expect to find in My Friendly Neighborhood?

Non-linear, first person survival horror gameplay
A colorful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!)
An array of puzzles in the vein of the survival horror greats.
A multitude of diverse environments, from the "BTS" Ray's Workshop to cardboard crayon halls
A grid-based real-time inventory, cause that's just way better
And a lot more. . . but I'll let you find that out for yourself
Also, just a note - it might be a horror game, but expect the same sort of playful, humorous take on things that you might have found in my other games. It's spooky, but I think you'll find a lot of smiles along the way. :)
I'm really happy to report that this is by far the biggest project I've ever worked on. I have a TON of great stuff planned that I can't wait for you all to experience. . . but I'll let you find all of that for yourselves.
Could You do me a Favor?
If you're interested, could you drop a wishlist on the Steam page? That's by far the best way to support the game, and by extension me too! :) Thanks for reading! Hope to see you. . . IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
