One of the odd things about the work we do at International Hobo Ltd is that we don't know when - or if! - we will get to see the games we worked on released. So it's been a lot of fun in the first half of 2023 watching not just one, but six games we worked on get out into the world!
Or is it Seven...?
Well, I say six, but of course there's also our lo-fi minimalist high concept retro game Scramble All Fighters! This is currently a whopping 66% off, which means you can get it in the UK for just eighty four pence, or in the US for one dollar and one cent. Accounting for inflation, this means you can buy it for the same price you would have paid in the arcade to play its key inspiration, 1980s Missile Command, in its year of release!
Moving to Substack
Finally, some big-small news. We've been with Tinyletter since this newsletter started, but since then Chris has begun writing two Substacks (the retro sci-fi WAMTNG and the philosophical Stranger Worlds and How To Live in Them) and is having a blast with the format. It really makes no sense to continue to maintain this low-rent newsletter service when Substack is free to use. So as of the July 2023 newsletter, scheduled for Friday 28th July, we are switching to Substack. Your subscription will get transferred automatically, you just have to click the link when you see it. The newsletter is and always will be free.
We hope you'll join us over at Substack in July!
Chris and the ihobo games team.
