The timing of this works our rather well, coming hot off of Pico Day 2022!
First up, TWO upcoming games that 2 Left Thumbs (that's me!) is publishing, are Flash game continuations - with their first ever public demos debuting during the current Steam Next Fest!
Play some free demos, leave some feedback, and most importantly: Please WISHLIST!!
The first is Alice is Dead: Hearts and Diamonds. The originals creators @hyptosis @ImpendingRiot have teamed up with @kildorf to make this remake the best it could possibly be.
This will be a complete, from scratch, remake of the classic Flash game trilogy.
The demo is a near 1:1 remake of Episode 1, with brand new art, a modern engine, and some added details. We're so excited to show you how much things have changed with the full release!
Next is Repella Fella, an EPIC adventure, over 5 years in the making. This thing is fully animated and voice acted ALL by 1 person @philljc.
It is a spiritual successor to the Ray Flash series. For anyone who has been patiently waiting all these years for a proper Ray - Part 3, this is close as it's going to get. Everything is bigger, crazier, and more absurd than ever!
Give this demo a couple playthroughs, as you can find multiple solutions to the various problems, all leading to unique and excitingly over-the-top conclusions.
If that wasn't enough for you, my latest YouTube video is also all about Flash series continuations. These top-tier developers took their most successful Flash series, and followed them up with full releases on PC and consoles!
This installment includes Ray (yeah, I snuck that in there...), Decision, Swords and Souls, Chibi Knight, and Madness: Project Nexus. The video explains the source material, including what made them great, and a quick look at the new continuations that are keeping that Flash spirit alive!
I have a list of well over 100 Flash series, creators, and surrounding topics that I would love to cover in their own videos someday. But this seems like a great way to let people more quickly know about some of these follow-ups that are out there. I'm hoping to make this a mini-series within the larger Flashlight umbrella. These devs provided us with countless hours of free fun! The least we can do is pay back that dedication now.

Unrelated, but on a more personal note. Thank you for all the love you've given Kill Boe 3! I'm incredibly proud of it, and couldn't have done it without the help of SO many talented individuals! Someday I'll do a developer commentary on it, and talk about that process in greater detail.

I'm really stoked for Alice is Dead!
