Furry Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date Cat Girls? News

You know, when you're moving cross-country and you have horrible internet that won't be fixed for a few days, and the office is a mess, and you have little contact with the rest of the team, things happen.

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.

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?

This time with 10000% more Christmas. Building upon the mechanics of the first game, and expanding them, this sequel should be perfect for anyone that sees a Christmas commercial on October 31st and goes "why?".

aaaaaaaaaaaandddddddddd.....

Super Army of Tentacles just got a brand new trailer!

Won't adding new games affect the other titles?
Just be glad that every new idea that pops into our heads is not being added.

Seriously thought we had posted this.

Anyway. We've had some really wacky mental errors recently, from launching a DLC and forgetting to make a dev post, to forgetting to actually put something on sale on the same date as the last thing we put on sale, to writing incorrect discount. Those..... won't happen anymore.

We were going to wait to make this a post alongside all the other 2021 announcements (so next week), but then we decided to see what a DLC dev post does for business. Will it be business time?

Either way, this is the first new batch of content of the year. It was really fun to revisit Stick Merchant of Venice, but from a new angle.

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.

We do hope that you all have a good end to the year.
