What is the difference between them? Is gameplay different or is it an artwork variant?

Voted!

First bump of the new year

You’ve created this WTB topic twice already, please reply to your original thread to bump it rather than make duplicative threads.

So excited to be part of the club now, just need to get boxes for my 16-Bit Xmases and I’m all set.

Can you see it now? I was over my attachment limit.

Now that I have the box for the latest entry, I can show off my officially complete 8-Bit Xmas set as well as both 16-Bit Xmas games

I just got back from visiting my parents for the holidays, and without oversharing, it was a really stressful Christmas. And today itself was one of my busiest workdays that I had to push through while half of the day was spent on the train. But now that I’ve eaten for the first time all day and had a chance to breathe, I got so excited to see my SS package waiting for me from @Jmbarnes101 and it made my day. There’s a few games from my list, some yummy candy, but I really love the adorable artwork from Santa’s daughter, which reminds me a little of Nymn from Tanglewood (but I want to know more about “her characters” please share more!!), and the puzzle game which evokes the church fairs where I got my first games. I’ve been having a really rough holiday season and this was just really nice to come home to. Thank you Santa

Thanks! You should make that thread for what's released in a given year to keep track of updates. EnigMog used to do those year-specific threads, but he hasn't been around.

And I stiiiiiiiiiiiil haven’t found what I’m lookin’ fooooooooooooooor

I don't use them for Secret Santa, but for at least the last 15 years, when I give Christmas presents to family, I print copies of a Christmas label I made in kindergarten. My artistic skills have not improved at all since then.

In its peak days, Watermelon was a company that moved glacially when it came to finishing its products and delivering to customers. With regard to Paprium, previously known as Project Y, Watermelon (primarily Fonzie, as his business partner was forced out) raised a number of red flags. It created a “gem system” for people to “invest” and have a say in what the game would be without actually buying it. Initial pre-orders were taken and years would go buy with no substantive updates. If people asked for refunds, weird excuses would be given such as PayPal locking their account because it received too much money. Other weird moments popped up such as being told fulfillment was delayed because Air France misplaced some essential part of the game build, China sitting on the warehouses waiting for payment, or trouble with the infamous Datenmeister chip. A few years ago, Watermelon announced a release party featuring the game and that orders would be fulfilled afterwards. Any arcades of the game were broken and Fonzie himself showed off a buggy alpha build of the game without enemies. Then utter silence until a few weeks ago. The bottom line is that this game was in development for years, with little in the way of updates, odd behavior from Fonzie, and a lot of angry investors who felt left in the dark. An excellent series by a YouTuber covered a lot of these points, here’s Part 1:

This is where I made a mistake, I must have misread one of your tweets, thinking this was a game. I’ll remove it.

Classics all!

My reveal will be delayed because I left to visit family before my package arrived. But I'm looking forward to opening it when I get back

There was someone who made threads about what was coming out each year (he made one for 2019), but I haven't seen him around lately.
