Homebrew developer Widdy of Genesis Project and Nuance fame is working on his next big quality Wii homebrew game.

Widdy’s last game was Ironing Maiden and made it into the news of rather huge gaming pages. Who would have ever thought that ironing a T-Shirt could be that much fun?

Talking about his next game, what could it be? Not much is known at all, but a semi-official screenshot shows a toilet scenery with an adequate inventory. After ironing shirts, next coming up is cleaning toilets? We shall wait for the Revision 2013 game development competition to have the secret uncovered! Around Easter 2013 we will know more 🙂
