Ridiculous Fishing EX and other bangers
There’s only one thing better than getting 4 e-mails, and that’s getting less than 4 e-mails. That’s why here’s ONE e-mail that does the JOB of FOUR!
Number 4 will shock you… If this made it through your spam filter, let’s go:
Sludge Life 2 is out NOW
Disc Room co-creators Terri Vellmann and doseone just Magnummed another Opus with Sludge Life 2. It’s an incredible vandalism sim where you climb and tag all over Ciggy City Suites, a hypercorporate hellscape oozing with all the stuff they don’t normally allow in videogames.
Just like for the original Sludge Life there’ll be a Dutch localization by Kitty Calis and myself very soon. If you speak Dutch and enjoy sentences like “ik kan niet tegelijkertijd ROKEN en levens redden, dus ik heb een KEUZE gemaakt.” you’re in for a treat!
Dustbiters Is Back in Stock
If you’re still on a Terri high after you’ve just one-hundred-percented Sludge Life 2, why not get the card game Dustbiters we’ve made together with Robbie Fraser and iam8bit? This is the 3rd print run already, super happy people are enjoying it so much!
Minit Fun Racer hits the Switch
Every video game franchise needs a racing spinoff, and Minit is no different. All proceeds of Minit Fun Racer (fund raiser, get it?) go to charity, so the more platforms the merrier. When Thalamos Digital offered to port Minit Fun Racer to the Nintendo Switch, Kitty, Dom, Jukio & I had to say yes in under 60 seconds!
This is honestly one of my favorite games I’ve ever worked on, one day I’ll write a post about the little tricks we did with the game design…
And last but not least…
Ridiculous Fishing EX
I am super excited to announce Ridiculous Fishing EX! An expanded 3D remaster of the 2013 classic is coming to Apple Arcade on July 14th, created by the original team and the extremely rad KO_OP.
Just look at it, Billy has come such a long way since Radical Fishing!
Besides the story of Billy’s Redemption, RFEX will feature a brand new Pro Fishing Tour with daily, weekly, and monthly challenges (inspired by Zach’s Card of Darkness daily dungeons), new new new New Game Plus content, and a little something that can only be described as “BikBok”.
It’s been a decade since Ridiculous Fishing launched, so I’m very grateful that KO_OP and the original team are rescuing it from the Maelstrom of Updating Operating Systems. Really can’t wait to get it in people’s hands again!
Speaking of KO_OP, check out their stunning upcoming “teenage dinosaurs are so doomed” simulator: Goodbye Volcano High!
Thanks so much for reading, it always feels GREAT to send 500 words of pure marketing into the void, but I’m super proud of all these games and the wonderful people that made them possible!
