After many ups and downs, I'm pleased to announce that Alien Bugs Invade Earth has a successor that will be coming out soon!
Sometime at the end of December 2024, look for "2024: Aliens Are Coming" in early release.
The company for both 2023: Alien Bugs Invade Earth and 2024: Aliens Are Coming shut down earlier this year, but I was successfully able to transfer these games to a new company. Despite this significant hiccup, development has successfully transitioned away from the Unity Engine to the Godot Engine.
Unfortunately, this means that 2023: Alien Bugs Invade Earth will remain feature and story incomplete, as I will not risk activating any of Unity Engine's license agreements by updating the game, but the story and gameplay will live on in 2024: Aliens Are Coming as well as other games that are further down the pipe.
I'm sorry for the delay, but since this next game is based on open-source software, I can promise this time that the story will continue to move forward!
(Also, I learned my lesson from this game, and it's not going to be nearly as text-heavy. It turns out reading is less painful if there's less of it and you have voice-acting to go along with it! This does mean, however, that development is *far* more complex and time-consuming than it used to be. That's fine though, because I figured quality over quantity was the right way to go.)
