Also pushed a round of small fixes today for Friendswood, Zombie Battlemage, and Scientifically Accurate Dinosaur Mating Simulator 2021.
Now, work on the Army of Tentacles 10th Anniversary Edition goes full speed ahead, and as for Dinosaur Shakespeare 3? Well, it's still a funny lil' bad art dino game, but now it has gained Lore Sentience. I guess, in context of a space game, it is Lore Sensitive.
So now it is going to wait a bit longer as we figure out where it fits in future chronology.

Original post2025 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 a direct reaction to external factors, 2023-2024 was a reaction to external factors, and now we finally have time to slow down.... and financially react to 2025.
Dino Shakespeare 3 was meant to be a fun cool-down project that is now swept up in the dual currents of Paper Shakespeare 3 and Army of Tentacles' 10th Anniversary Edition. The latter game we will be officially announcing after PS3 launches sometime before Summer Sale.
Can you believe we're legit almost done with January?

The third and final entry in the mainline Paper Shakespeare games is ready for your consumption next year! 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 Saga, you can do a lot worse than the Henriad, right? This one is based on Richard II, with all of the Quest portions of the game comprising of all of those scenes of the play. We hope you enjoy it!

Original postSo, 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 Sale will belong to:
Paper Shakespeare 3.
Not a To Date Or Not To Date, because this time, we're focusing more of a quest system and less dating sim. This will be the first game in our War of the Roses trilogy, which will ultimately end our mad quest to adapt every Shakespeare play into a video game.
Dinosaur Shakespeare 3 will most likely be Early January.
We wish everyone a happy Black Friday. Don't get trampled out there.
