Hey all!

Wow, what a year it has been huh? A war in Ukraine, endless drama and shenanigans, the death of the Queen, and worst of all… (ALMOST) NO ANTHONO220 GAME UPDATES OR RELEASES? wowie what an pretty bad year, but luckily 2023 (if putin and/or any of the other big creeps don’t drag us into death) will probably be a better year personally. Not only did I get a sweet girlfriend earlier this month that I can spend time with (don’t ask who, i will only name drop in the most random moment possible during conversation) but I am also graduating from high school next year! 🥳 Also also, I have plans to release more amounts of stuff than this year to make everybody else’s year better as well! :D

I have a game that I plan on releasing in early 2023 for a capstone project class. I will spill right now that the game is called CAVEFACE and is a top-down sandbox game set in, well, a cave. You can take care of a pet that looks like the player character but yellow. There’s still quite a bit of work I have to do before it’s considered done. There’s a chance are the game may receive an update or two, although I may prefer to work on something else (I’ll touch on that after this paragraph). Before the game releases on Game Jolt and itch.io in early 2023, be on the lookout for a trailer that I may drop sometime in January. 👀

Not only am I most certainly gonna release CAVEFACE in 2023 (regardless of the final product’s quality, lmao), but I am aiming to release a SECOND or even a THIRD game next year! That’s right, I want 2023 to possibly be the craziest game release year since 2020 (Gooter, Gooter LANd, Jamsta, Running Duck of the Summer, and PhysicsPlace all got some kind of release that year). One of the ideas I have in my head involve a character from a game I worked on but never finished a few years ago (possibly also in 2020). I already have a sort of prototype, however I might go in a little bit of a different direction with it and make it more of a bright and lighthearted game. That’ll launch on Game Jolt, itch, AND Newgrounds simultaneously later in 2023, so stay tuned for that as well.

Oh and I should go ahead and mention that these games are gonna all get new music that’ll drop on YouTube and maybe Newgrounds and Soundcloud if I feel like it, so I’d say that fans of my music are gonna be eating good next year. 🍽️ 😋

Now, of course, all of this is subject to change and I bet everybody knows by now that there’s a good chance that it’ll end up being different due to certain circumstances such as school, relationships, laziness, not being satisfied with what I’m making or what direction I’m taking, etc. For now, consider this my initial vision 2023 and something that I will likely at least try to accomplish. Until I have more news to share, see you all next year! ✌️
