Major changes: Renaming and republishing ZIMO's Getting up


There is some major changes brewing up, and I cannot wait to share it all with you.

A New Home
The first exiting news is that I reconnected with a friend that is a top notch  graphical designer.
I thought he could help me with a small aspect of the future of the game and I was wrong!
I loved the project and it transformed into a bigger collaboration.

Out of this Colourful Name was born and this is where all my projects current and future will end up.
ZIMO's Getting Up is going to move home on itch.io to be under the Colourful Name's publishing outlet.
Something else needed to change too: the name.

A New Name
The current name was very cheeky of me and probably not very well received by most that understood where I took it from.
With that in mind (and also the realisation that I need a new name that is more evocative), started a year long search for a new name.
After lot of research, over 50 candidates, quite a few discussions, and the help of the fine people over on Mastodon, we settled on Notorious Style.

A New Version in the making
With Clément's touch, the game has gone through a big change, enough that it warranted a new name.
He took the game, stripped it to its core , and then worked to make it shinier than The crown on coronation day.
Being a talented illustrator too, there is a lot more visually pleasing stuff all over.
Its been very hard to keep it all under wraps.

We also worked with playtest feedback, improved some of the "missing stairs", and added new content, it is truly a new improved version of the game.
One key aspect, which was a shortcoming of ZIMO's Getting Up, is that Notorious Style has improved accessibility. It was not hard to improve on, but we are taking the matter seriously and hope to have a genuinely accessible game at the end.
If you read this far and own of the game, stay tuned as you'll get an invite for the new version soon.

TL;DR:
ZIMO's Getting up is now Notorious Style so go and look it up.
