Hello everyone! A lot of you have kindly asked for it, so here it is. Above is a teaser image for Vinty's new adventure. Though we still have months of production ahead, I wanted to reveal that there is indeed a project in the works. Where will this new journey take place? If anyone recognizes that building in the backdrop, that might give it away.
The first draft of the script is 17,000 words in length. Compared to the 4000 word script of Without Within, hopefully this will be a meatier experience while remaining succinct. The script will further evolve in these upcoming months.
At the moment, this new story is a linear one. In the original game, quick bad ends were written to express some of the painful choices artists are forced to make. This time around, I feel like there is no need to repeat that process. Rather than potentially dividing my focus, I hope to tell a single story with maximum clarity. This might change as time progresses, but for now, hopefully you guys will be on board. Please feel free to voice your thoughts, though!
Has anyone here played Shan Gui or Go Go Nippon? I like calling those games "travel novels". When I travel, I often develop a love for new places similar to the way we connect with people. Without Within will always be a series about Vinty's struggles as an artist. However, I also wish to share my joy of visiting unfamiliar places in this new story. I hope we will be able to connect.
Earlier, I mentioned releasing this new story as a DLC, but with my current schedule, it will be well past July before I have any real chance of closing this thing out. If the dates are far enough apart, perhaps it might be more appropriate to put this new title up for another round on greenlight. We will see how things play out.
So, what else is on my plate? Months before Without Within came out on Steam, I have in fact been producing a new project named Cursed Sight. The game has just been announced earlier today, so I really hope you could consider checking it out. All the details are available here:

Thanks everyone! Despite Without Within being that short, so many of you still went in with such a positive attitude. I appreciate that a lot. Thank you so much.
