DANGEROUS DUELS
Hey there! If you've been following me for a while you probably know about a game I released quite a while ago as "BANG BANG BANG!", and if you have been following me recently you probably know that I've had to change the name due to a trademark conflict. The game is now called "DANGEROUS DUELS"
Because of the uh... legal necessity of me updating the game with it's new name, making a new trailer, updating store pages etc, this means that the belated monthly build for December is going to be even more belated... But by way of apology, if you are a $5+ patron you can use this link right here to get the game on itch.io <3
Anyway a couple of words about the trademark conflict since it's easy to assume the worst in these situations (I know I did at first):
The trademark claim by the other party was absolutely legitimate, it predated my own use by years, was presented in a remarkably similar way, and was for a game with very similar themeing to my own.
Also, I was never especially attached to the old name anyway, I'm glad for the change if anything.
So provided nobody tries to shake me down for money I don't have (which is looking unlikely I think) then all is well! Apart from, you know, having to spend a bunch of time updating things and taking time away from my other projects.
Anyway, that's all for now, I hope you're all well! <3

Fingers crossed it's done and dusted and everyone's amicable!
What a nasty thing to happen at the top of the year! Hope that the changes you have made calm them down.
