This is a quick post being made prior to the release of Another World! 

Don't ask me why I'm releasing a post before the publication of both the game and it's Itch.io page - I'm not too sure either. I guess it's to affirm to myself of what I've actually done/made? I don't know...

Another World has been been a bit of a passion project - I have been working on & off of the game (mostly on), for the past 6+ months. It's only now by the time I'm making this post that things are beginning to really wrap up development-wise and I'm considering the project releasing as a full package. I'd never really envisioned this project to get too far past the conceptual stages when I first embarked on the harrowing journey of indie game production - and along the way, I've had to learn quite a lot. I'm much better at things like graphic design or coding than I was at the beginning of development - but I've definitely still got a ways to go - a reason why I'm excited to develop this game further down the line if possible.

But yeah - as I said, as of the date of this being published, almost everything is ready. I might add another event or two - I guess it just depends on how I'm feeling - but the main storyline has reached a natural stopping point for an update - and I'm pretty proud of how it's been progressing thus far. I guess you'll be able to experience it once it's out - no spoilers here, unfortunately. All I hope is that the time and energy put into this game can be fully appreciated (pls I lost so much sleep making this).

I'm considering creating a Subscribestar page in order to raise funds for future development - I'm planning on always keeping the game free-to-play (/read), but I think having a source of donations would make developing the game much easier, and fund things such as music licencing, alongside giving me money to put food on the table - a thing I'm sure everyone is familiar with at this point in time (fuck the economy). That being said, I can't create any such site without having released the game anyway - so that gives me time to mull it over, I guess. Let me know what you think (when the game releases and you can actually see this post), and if you really feel like you wanna donate (there's really no need to), do it through Itch.io or whatever (I think you can do it through them idk)

For now though, I'm going to continue development, and the next post should be on the day of release! I guess I'll see you all then :)
