    I survived the Web site upgrade!

    Oh, man. I'm super glad that this worked!

    A former co-worker of mine convinced me not to use WordPress when I set up my Web site back in...oh, I don't even know. Probably in 2011 or 2012 or so. Why? Because--at least at that time--WordPress sites were notoriously easy to hack and exploit. Drupal seemed to be a bit more secure, so I went with Drupal 7, which was the latest version at the time.

    Game Grumps played Super Multitasking!

    Game Grumps are two guys who stream gameplay on YouTube daily. For some reason, yesterday they decided to subject themselves to over 30 minutes of Super Multitasking. Even better, they actually seemed to have a great time with it!
    In about 24 hours, over 220,000 people decided to watch their video featuring a game that I made. My mind is kind of blown.
    You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y0Ox1ERhKI

    2023 yay

    Quick update to let y'all know what I'm working on at the moment...

    I'm actively working on the Super Multitasking update, which is still coming, I assure you! It's been renamed Super Duper Multitasking, and once again, all existing owners of Super Multitasking will be upgraded for FREE! (The price will go up for everyone else.) I know I've said this before, but I am more determined than ever to release it this year. There's still a lot of work to be done, but I hope you'll agree with me that the wait was worth it. The companion game I mentioned earlier will be coming as well, but it may not ship on the same day. Stay tuned...

    Bungee Ferret Tossing 1.5 update

    This month marks the 10th anniversary of the release of Bungee Ferret Tossing, one of the more strange concepts I created. The fast action and unique control scheme still hold up today, in my opinion. I did previously announce that I was working on a new version of the game for Steam, but obviously, it's not out yet.

    X Mode

    So...I just released an update for Sharpshooter Plus. I apologize for sitting on it for over a year, but it's out now. The update adds just a single new feature...something called "X Mode."

    If you've played Sharpshooter Plus, you know that some of the minigames feature targets with Xs on them. You're not supposed to shoot these; if you do, you get a buzzing sound, a flashing X, and a score penalty. You know, the sort of thing 2-year-olds actually enjoy.

    Super Duper Multitasking update

    Just a quick update: the name for the final Super Multitasking expansion has been changed! "Versus Ultimate" is no more. Please look forward to...Super Duper Multitasking!

    And how is that going? Well, I have finally completed principal development of all the new minigames. Now it's onto the tweaking, the UI overhaul, the new Missions, an all-new mode, and some other stuff. The final version is going to have way more stuff than I originally anticipated, and unfortunately it will take some more time. But it's coming. Stay tuned...

    Statement on stuff

    Not saying anything is saying something else, so I just wanted to say a few words on the current events happening in the world:

    Black lives matter. Trans lives matter. Women's rights matter. Voting rights matter. AR-15s should be restricted or banned. White supremacy is poison, domestic terrorism should always be called out, and abortion is healthcare. And deliberately, intentionally causing other people to suffer for your personal power or profit? That's called "evil."

    If you don't agree with me, I won't be bothered if you choose not to buy my games. Enjoy.

    Here's what I've been up to!

    Hello! I recently checked and was horrified to discover that I hadn't posted any updates here in over 6 months. Oops! But rest assured, I have not been idle! Finding a work/life/dev balance over these last few strange years has not been easy, for sure, but I am still working on that, as well!

    Today marks the release of Falling Plus on Xbox. While this was somewhat unexpected (even for me), I had actually originally planned to release it a few years ago, so...uh, yeah! It's out! But it's not the only thing I plan to release this year.

    yyrGames returns to Xbox!

    Falling Plus was actually done in 2019, but I had a ton of trouble getting sign-in and file access to work, so I kept shelving it. And then...back in January, Microsoft started suspending the developer accounts of those folks who hadn't released anything, and I was no exception. I was reinstated, but given 90 days to release something, or I'd be suspended again. The 90th day was tomorrow. Well, I am pleased to say Falling Plus is now available for Xbox One/Series!

    You can look at the Manual/FAQ page here, or go here to buy it! You can also use the Search feature on an Xbox console to find it. Please enjoy Falling Plus on Xbox!

    Please look forward to yyrGames in 2022!

    I've been working lately on Super Multitasking's new minigames. I'm also putting in a bit of time here and there on Bungee Ferret Tossing 1.5, and on top of those, I'm flirting with finally expanding to new platforms beyond just Steam. All of this, somehow, in between my busy everyday life.

    Unfortunately, all of these projects are too far from the finish line to complete this year. So I'm announcing here and now that there will be no further yyrGames releases in 2021. But 2022 should be fantastic, and I hope you'll look forward to a year that promises a bunch of exciting releases! Until then, I'll work hard, so that you'll soon enjoy the sort of action-packed experiences you've come to expect from me.

    Thank you for your continued support of yyrGames!
