I haven't got any!
.. that's a lie..
I have about 3 big plans in mind, and I'm not sure which to go with.-=-=-

Plan One : AWordGameAWeek

This week I've been remaking Stringy Things, but so far I've only tackled the main "Strings" game.
I'd like to add more, but with only 1.5 days left, that's not looking too do-able, even for me!
What might work, though, is to release the base game this week, then each week over April add a new Word game into the mix.
That's FIVE whole complete wordgames, spread out over the course of the month.

I kinda like this plan, if I'm honest, but I know it won't be all that popular.
Folk out there have a strange dislike of word games.
hmm..
Fussy people!

Plan Two : Platdude's Birthday

I never jotted down an exact "Platdude's Birthday", and I seem to have completely lost everything I ever had about JNKPlat 2
BUT.. I do have the sprite editor, and colour palette editors that I made for JNKPlat 3, and those files are still dated exactly as they were left, way back in 1998.
Given that JNKPlat 3 was created in my second year of college, I estimate that JNKPlat 2 (The first time I drew Platdude) would've been made in 1997, and since April 16th has oddly stuck in my mind, we'll call that his birthday!!
So, April 16th 1997 makes him 16 years old, this year... the old fart..

Last year I'd planned to make a fantastic little 15th anniversary JNKPlat game. As we're all aware, last year didn't happen!
This year, I haven't planned anything.
My switch to Monkey makes level editing difficult at best, and JNKPlat works best with an editor. So.. hmmm..
I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do about that, if I'm honest.

Plan Three : Platdude's Retro Collection

I've yet to start this thing. Not sure what's stopping me, but I guess I've just been too busy playing around with other bits and pieces.
*shrugs*
I'm thinking of having 5 games per page, over 5 pages, so 25 games in total.
I just haven't started yet!

Other Stuff

Of course, I could end up doing something entirely unplanned. That's usually how AGameAWeek goes!
Who knows!
