A quick December update
I was hoping to get a few Christmas-week updates in at the last minute here, but work/family/holiday busyness has conspired to thwart that endeavor. As such, aside from the Puzzle Creators interview that was posted earlier this month, I'm going to take December off and extend the voting period this cycle through March.
You won't be charged anything for this month, of course (one of the advantages of having a per creation patreon campaign), and I'll have some great stuff to share right after the New Year. Thank you once again for all your generous support this year and over the years... I'm quite proud of the game history resource that shmuplations has become, and I can genuinely say that it would never have been accomplished without the enduring patron support we've received. Happy holidays and a happy new year to all!
