I did miss yesterday, I thought I had. Apologies! I was very tired and collapsed into bed before I realised.
Anyway — something fun to share with you today. I've mentioned before how much fun it is when I get developers of the games I cover on Atari A to Z showing up in my YouTube comments and giving some insights about what they worked on. Today, I received a message on a whole new level. You can see said message here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyUMC3e8Xkk
For context, the author of that clip is Simon Hunt, the creator of the Atari 8-bit games Diamonds and Dan Strikes Back, both of which I've previously covered on Atari A to Z. During my Dan Strikes Back video, I made reference to the fact that Hunt once intended to make a third Diamonds game, but never got any further than designing a title screen. I also jokingly challenged what members of the Atari community actually watched my channel to see if they could pick up from Hunt's idea and develop something.
The last thing I expected was for anyone to accept this light-hearted challenge — let alone for it to be Hunt himself. And yet here we are; apparently at some point in 2021, we will finally see the third Digger Dan game that never happened — and it is, at least indirectly, because of me.
Pretty cool, huh?
