Last day for the crowdfunder
Hello folks. Today is the very last 24 hours for the Shark Dating XL+ crowdfunder over on IndieGogo! There's still merch left to claim - at this point, we reached 87% of the goal (that's £2,639 out of £3,000, math fans) which isn't too bad at all. It'll keep me going over Christm

Update 1.0.4
Why hello there. SDSXL+ 1.0.4 has just dropped into your Steam tray. New features include: Text to Speech option added. It sounds much as you'd expect, depending on which TTS languages you have installed on Windows, but the game can now read out the dialogue for you. It makes the

Hello Shark fans. The game has had a quick hotfix that addresses the following issues:

Fixed non-respawning objects bug when you started a second playthrough.
Fixed pick mode not working on graveyard while Angel fish was present.
Added loading progress shark, so you're not staring at your hideous reflection in a black screen so much.
Added a little more text regarding why objects wouldn't craft together.
If you discover any other bugs or have suggestions, please drop them in on the forum or email me direct at [email protected]
At some point this week, I'm aiming to finally release some shark Steam Trading Cards. Stay on the edge of your seats!
Cheers

Halloween Special!
Hello. To celebrate the crowdfunder for SDSXL+ hitting the 62% mark, I'm going to put out a special update for this very Halloween! Now to be fair this also means the new engine gets a good going-over before I put out the bigger update later on, but it's more sharks right? Especi

The Shark Dating XL+ Crowdfunder
OK, stop bullying me over the internet. I WANT to finish it! The trouble is I have to live at the same time and this keeps going on the backburner. The point of the crowdfunder is to provide me with just enough backing to be able to put SDSXL+ in a priority position for once! If

Poll
The 'release a test as a standalone game' experiment worked pretty well so my plan is to carry on improving the engine and when it's ready to test again bundle it out with another mini-game. As I don't want to beat sharks to death however, I've made a little poll to see if people

Ghost Update
Just a brief one - I've had some reports from people confused that SDSXL appeared to update itself/was offering an update that either never happened or didn't appear to change the game. The game has not yet been updated and I haven't uploaded any new files, so I have to assume th
