So... yeah... 2021 wasn't good for me in a lot of ways. In fact, this has probably been the worst year of my life up to this point. :( The first third of this video is pretty much a rant, going over all of the ridiculousness which led to several missed/delayed videos and my having to cut ADG down to a once-every-two-weeks schedule. However, I do look on the positive side after that, with the second and third parts of the video focussed on a couple games I played, my gamedev efforts, and what to expect for 2022 in terms of ADG and Shovelware Diggers videos. ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * If you wish to grab the freeware releases of PixelShips Retro and Super Minesweeper, head to "Games" section at my website using the following link. Again, SmartScreen and virus/malware scanners will likely have a field day with them if this video is still relatively new as it takes time for file trusts to be built up, and also do remember that they're OLD so it can be tricky getting them working properly: http://www.pixelships.com/games.html * Deltarune Chapter 1 & 2 is available for free on Steam as a demo download, given that at some point in the future the same page will have the full game on it, though Toby Fox has stated that the next release will be the full game up to the end of Chapter 5, yet there's clearly more than 5 chapters planned! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1671210/DELTARUNE/ * For those of you curious about my me-sized Ralsei plushie, I have a post over on my barely-used DeviantArt account which talks about it at length, including why I made it and what it took to make it. I am NOT an expert at sewing and I always tell anyone who's jealous/envious that literally anyone can make a plushie like this, all you need are some basic skills and a LOT of patience! (This took me SIX MONTHS to make! ...and was absolutely worth the effort! :) https://www.deviantart.com/gemini000/art/Ralsei-the-Giant-Plushie-Prince-822206366 * If you want to get Tunic wishlisted you can find its store page on Steam here. Still no word on when the release will be, but given that they were willing to open the demo up to everyone on Steam for a brief period, whereas up to now it could only be played at gaming conventions, I'm hoping that's a sign the release isn't too far away! https://store.steampowered.com/app/553420/TUNIC/ * My original demo release of Treasure Hunt IV can be found on my MegaZeux page on my website. If you want a slightly more polished version of the incomplete game featuring the entirety of the first zone, it can be found in my Stockpile download on the same page: http://www.pixelships.com/megazeux.html * ...yes, if all goes to plan, PixelShips 2 will be coming down the line! If Project LJ goes well, I'm planning to do one of my two VR games next, then PixelShips 2 following, as PixelShips 2 requires a LOT of character and background artwork that's beyond my level of skill to make in order to tell the story properly. I have no idea how long Project LJ will actually take to make. Two years is the MINIMUM I'm expecting once I start practical development work, but it could very well take quite a bit more than that. ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @Pixelmusment on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pixelmusement
