'''ZOEY HANDLEY:''' Is Videlectrix going to remain focused on saving (and expanding) the substantial back catalog of ''Homestar'' Flash games, or will we get brand-new games in the future?

'''THE BROTHERS CHAPS:''' We have a buncha ideas for both approaches. It was really fun making and expanding ''Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate'' for Steam/Itch. And it’d be cool to make ''Peasant's Quest 2'' or a console-playable version of ''[[Stinkoman 20X6]]''. But it would be equally cool to make something totally new like [[Clapping Party|Blistergeist 3D]] or a ''Thy Dungeonkid'' platformer.

'''ZOEY:''' Do you want to tease us with anything? Like, maybe a fancy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xixgDV_9RJI HD remaster of Peasant's Quest]?

'''THE BROTHERS CHAPS:''' Here’s a few in-progress nuggets that might become our next releasable project.

* Handley refers to the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]]-esque wall pattern seen in [[Making of Email 100]] as "[[-èd|stripèd]]".
* The Brothers Chaps joke about having to move offices after their last one "got un-[[depressio]][['d]]".
* [[Strong Bad]] is jokingly referred to as "[[Stong Bad|Stong Band]]".
* A console-playable version of [[Stinkoman 20X6]] and "[[Minor Video Games|Blistergeist]] 3D" are teased as potential future projects.
* ''Thy Dungeonkid'' was first seen in [[Happy 20th Trogday!]].

* A CGA-style sequel to [[Peasant's Quest]] featuring Fairly Dashing [[Halloween Hide & Seek Responses|was advertised]] by [[The Poopsmith]] in [[Halloween Hide & Seek]].
* The "crow person" Fairly Dashing is speaking to resembles [[Cranjegg]], a [[Keeper of Trogdor]].
* Calling the [[Dangeresque Too]] bonus Roomisode an "Elevatorsode" due to its setting recalls [[Dangeresque Roomisode 2: The Intersection of Doom & Boom|Roomisode 2]] being called an "intersectionisode" [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018|during its development]].
