NotTheNameWeWanted - Electryte
Dearest NotGamers,

It is with a touch of sadness that we let you know today that we will be retiring both NotTheNameWeWanted and NotCoD.

This means the games will no longer be available to buy on Steam. If you own the game already, you will continue to have access to it to download, install and launch, so never fear - the ridiculous hand-drawn antics will live on forever in your hearts and your Steam library.

We want to thank you all for everything over the last 7 years. We never in a million years expected that so many people would connect to such a stupid idea. We’re not sure if that says more about you or us. But thank you. Thank you for our first unexpected experience of community, for the laughs and for the thousands of dollars you raised for charity.

Don’t worry. This is just the beginning.

Your pals,
NotGames x

As of April 21st 2018, the game formally known as NotGTAV will be rebranded as "NotTheNameWeWanted".

The game itself is still the same ruthless snake-like parody set in Britain's green and pleasant lands it always was, complete with shonky hand-drawn graphics. You can still play as Daffyd, Darren, and former British PM David Cameron in this short, satirical tour of the glories of the UK's M4 corridor. And it is still the same easy to play, hard to master, addictive, hilarious and cheap cult hit game it was. So nothing has changed. Except the name.

So, to summarise, the game formerly known as "NotGTAV" is now called NotTheNameWeWanted".

If this announcement has left you positively bursting with legality, here's a list of totally legal things to do:

-- Invade a Middle-Eastern country for their oil wealth.

-- Host a children's show or star in a popular American sit-com in the 70s.

-- Move your inherited riches to an offshore tax haven

-- Put the kettle on.

-- Take the kettle off again. It looks stupid on you.

-- Capitalism.

Finally, we would like to point out that NotCOD, our much better follow up game, and winner of the "Funniest Game That No-One's Ever Heard Of" award for a second successive year is also available on Steam, and, to mark the event of the name change, both these games will be available at 75% off from this Friday for the whole of next week. And they were already cheap to start with...

In an extraordinary act of self sabotage, timed to match that of our beloved country, NotGames are slashing the prices of their games by 75% for the next fortnight.

Spokesman Kenneth said “We wanted to get a jump on things and see how much income we will have in five years time when the pound is worth about a quarter of its current value.

“While other software companies may not be equipped to deal with the upcoming economic carnage we are testing all our systems with this stupid sale.

“As well as bringing the price of each of our games down to less than a quid, this sale should pretty much finish us financially as a company as we’ve had a terrible year and have now officially run out of milk.”

Aficionados of all things NotGames may be entertained by the regular content we upload on YouTube and FaceBook. These are specifically designed to keep you entertained during the long wait for us to make another game.

To celebrate the release of our ridiculous new game NotCoD, NotGTAV will be on sale for a glorious discount of 75% off.

That's cheaper than a pint of milk and funnier than David Cameron trying to eat a bacon sandwhich.

Lovers of NotGTAV! The next game from the idiots behind NotGTAV is nearing its release date! If you liked NotGTAV then you will love the improved graphics, better gameplay and more offensive nature of NotCoD.

Did that make you excited for the release of NotCoD in April? That is very unbritish of you, as we all know the English don't get excited. Now grab a cup of tea, sit back and get acquainted with the most English character around, General Bushyface, in our latest teaser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzPjpn_j4UE

NotGames, the indie dev team who should probably stay in their rooms and think about what they've done, are delighted to announce that, thanks to the success of their debut game, NotGTAV, they are able to today make a first payment to their charity - Peer Productions - of £5,000.



Peer Productions works with young people to provide high quality social education through theatre. Their highly acclaimed theatre work has been seen by tens of thousands of young people throughout the South of England. All of their performers are young volunteers who spend a gruelling year at the company before reaching the drama-school or university of their choice. The peer to peer model allows the team to effectively deliver messages to difficult-to-reach teenagers on such vital subjects as teenage pregnancy, self-harm, addiction, and eating disorders.

Alex Paterson, NotGames Chief Art-Scribbler, said "We are delighted to make what we hope will be the first of many payments to Peer Productions from sales of our game. Our entire team has had their lives profoundly and permenantly changed by this incredible little charity. In fact, without Peer Productions, our team would never have met. That's why we took the unprecedented step of giving all of the profits from our game directly to them. Although we're not actually in profit yet - games are expensive to make - we wanted to make a first payment anyway to help this important organisation with the constant battle for survival felt by all those working in the charitable and voluntary sector."

Mr Andy Murray (still not that one), NotGames BuildMaster General added "We're all genuinely astounded by the success of NotGTAV. It seems to have found its natural audience on Steam and we couldn't be more delighted. We'd like to thank all those who have bought the game and helped both us and Peer Productions to continue to persue our aims."

NotGames are currently working on NotCoD, a satire of the Call of Duty series which is due out in Q1 of 2016, as well as preparing a scurrilous and probably offensive Christmas Single featuring David Cameron and His Bullingdon Big Band.

NotGTAV is ON SALE on Steam until Monday 19th October!
