New version incoming


Hello!

In between work on other projects, I've got kind of an inkling to revisit the old Shady titles. I feel like these really never encompassed the best of my abilities, and even though they're kind of based on crude humor, I believe there's still an audience for such an item.

Part of the reason I've been thinking about this, is that despite the fact that I had an entire line of re-releases planned for a line of "10 Cent Classics", Itch.io suddenly decided they were not going to let anybody release anything with a base price of under $1.00. So there went my plan to just give tiny morsels of my past works for almost nothing.

So, if I'm going to charge more for these projects, I'm not comfortable repricing them. Thus, the only way I could do this without being an absolute asshat is to actually remaster them from the ground up.

The first thing I've started on is graphics - some of the ones in 10 Cent Classics: Shady Pack go back as far as 2013! I'm also rebuilding the core gameplay of each title so that it's more engaging and less buggy (hopefully!)

Since I'm putting in all of this extra effort, maybe I should just roll Poopong 20th Anniversary into this too, to be inclusive? Perhaps I'll just fuse 20th and 22nd Anniversary into one title and call it "Shady's Poopong 2020".

One thing's for sure though, I'm a staunch preservationist, especially in the realm of video games. In addition to these new remasters, I plan on keeping the originals up for as long as I can. Maybe I'll also republish 20th Anniversary on CD-ROM like it initially released as... I dunno.

Let me know your thoughts below!
