10 years ago today, Paranautical Activity was released into the world. It started us on an amazing journey that almost no one gets to experience. People from all walks of life are consistently envious when I tell them the story of my life, and I don't know if I'll ever fully appreciate how lucky I am to have gotten to do and see so much while I'm still so young. 

We may not have always made the smartest decisions (lol), and there have definitely been ups and downs, but I wouldn't tradeit for the world, and I can't wait to see what the next decade brings. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about, lucky for you, we made a song about it for the release trailer of ParaSHOTical ARKtiviBeatings!

And don't forget to join us on twitch tonight for a chance to win some keys!

Our new game, ParaSHOTical ARKtiviBeatings comes out in less than a week! On release day (Feb 14th, 2023), we will be hosting a live stream at twitch.tv/CodeAvarice.

During the stream, anyone can download the free demo, and challenge Code Avarice in a 1v1 or 2v2. If you win, we'll give you a free steam key for ParaSHOTical ARKtiviBeatings!

During the stream we'll also be talking about Code Avarice history, the development process of the new game, and what we've been up to since our last release.

Influcers (no matter how small!) or members of the press, feel free to reach out to admin@codeavarice.com to book a specific time for your battle, and optionally join in on the stream via discord.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years! Though me (Mike) and Travis have moved on from treating Code Avarice as our job, we still enjoy working together on little projects just for the joy of creation. When I noticed towards the end of 2022 that Feb 14, 2023 would be the 10 YEAR anniversary of Paranautical Activity's release, I knew we had to do something cool. 

What we came up with was more of a celebration of ALL our time developing games together, rather than being purely about PA. We wanted to take the most iconic and essential piece of all our released games, and mix them into a single (ridiculous) game. We ended up with:

• The movement and shooting of Season's Beatings
• The randomized levels and items of Paranautical Activity
• ARKSHOT's multiplayer

The result is, honestly, way more fun than it has any right to be. And it's so nostalgic to see the old assets, the classic sound effect and text popup for getting items, and just recontextualize all this work that we're so proud of into something that really feels like a celebration. 

The game will be coming out on February 14th, 2023. More info to come soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this trailer!
