I’m still ill. I have just about survived today, with only a little nap after finishing work, but I am feeling pretty rough now. It is not fun, because I have work to do, I have things I want to enjoy, and coughing and spluttering through the day does not make any of those processes more enjoyable.
Still, at least we had a reasonably fun thing to do at work today: tease something for next year! If you happened to miss it, here:
That’s right! We’re doing the Neo Geo! That’s all I can say on the subject for the moment because we’re not revealing the details of this deal with SNK beyond the fact that it involves Neo Geo stuff until early next year, but this is something people have been asking about for a while, so it’s great to finally be able to say “yep, we doin’ it”.
Naturally, because no-one on the Internet is ever unconditionally happy any more, we had our fair share of people moaning about things we hadn’t actually said, but for the most part, the response has been great. Neo Geo games are top-tier retro, and having a bunch of them in the pipeline is great.
Like I say, that’s really all I can talk about on the subject for the moment, because Marketing. Looking more broadly, though, signing an agreement like this only shows how Evercade is going from strength to strength. We’ve got a couple of other big agreements waiting in the sidelines, too, but we’re not even teasing them just yet (although I guess I just did) — you’ll find out more about them next year. All I’ll say on the subject is that between these deals, we should be making a fair ol’ chunk of people happy, and that’s always a nice feeling. As for the people who immediately assume the worst when receiving what should be a highly positive announcement? Balls to them, I say. It’s really not my problem if someone is unable to find happiness in something specifically designed to bring people happiness.
Right. I’m off to bed to try and shake off this cold. I would like it gone by the weekend, as I have another Laura Bow mystery to play — and work Christmas do next week, too!
Shit, that reminds me, I probably better get my Secret Santa pressie sorted, I guess…
