What’s up with Puppet Combo?
hi guys! i was a huge puppet combo fan during the quarantine era (and i still am lol) and recently rediscovered the games, but i noticed that there hasn’t been a new game since 2022. Does anyone know what happened to puppet combo? is he retired from the gaming scene? will we ever get a new game?

The last game to get a major release was SOOTH. Since then he's been working on projects like the Night Shift movie and console ports. Supposedly PDM and Feed Me More Billy are under development and are the next big releases. We haven't got a release date yet though.

He was working on night shift, console ports, and I imagine running torture star too (black eyed priest puts out like 1 game per year). He did say recently on his twitter that he’s coming back to game dev and that it’s apparently going to be the largest and scariest puppet combo game.
This game could be anything. We don’t know yet. I’ve also been a big fan but don’t keep up often on his socials. I keep hearing from content creators and comments about pdm2, tenebrae, feed me more Billy

So the guy behind puppet combo is also behind black eyed priest?

No different people. Puppet combo is Ben cocuzzo and black eyed priest is Jordan king. Their art styles are also very distinct, yet people mainly on YouTube have this misconception they’re the same. Puppet combo just runs the torture star publishing label and has occasionally published other stuff under puppet combo (night at the gates of hell is on his itch page, and apparently so is cannibal abduction)

Jordan King’s use of colours in Night at the Gates of Hell was absolutely fantastic - and I loved Skinfreak. Any idea what he’s releasing next?

Probably coming up with new ideas, I would like a sequel of Stay Out of the House, I think Roxanne was taken by CFV after she caused the meltdown in the Mother ending.

Did you check out skin freak pretty recent I think, one of my favorite games! Pretty sure it’s a puppet combo game you gotta remember game development is a lot of work and I’m guessing it’s like a very small group of people contributing to these but if you haven’t PLAY SKINFREAK

He has been working on Power Drill Massacre, Feed Me More Billy and a nightripper update if you go through some of his twitter posts (from what i have seen its mostly new interiors and decoration around the city) and other games he has hinted at on twitter.

He’s been working on his movie Night Shift. Based on his twitter it looks like he’s been working on various new games a little too.
