Game Release πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³

Be honest. You thought I might get sentimental on you. I announced it in the last update, right?

Yes...

But I'm not going to do that. A Foreign World has been in development for about four years. A lot has happened in my life. That's a given. But I hope none of you give a shit. You know why you're here. I know why you're here. Why are you even reading this? There's something else I've written that's a lot more entertaining than this paragraph.

A Foreign World clocks in at ~220,000 words. That's the length of three books. Or, if books aren't your thing, it's about one-tenth the length of a web novel like Spare Me Great Lord... which I can't really believe. I read that novel, and it feels waaaaaay longer. But ChatGPT seems to think it's only 2.1 million words. Grok doesn't disagree, so it must be true. That's how things work nowadays, right?

A Foreign World grew to be pretty long. When I want to proofread something, I usually run it through TTS and listen to it. A Foreign World turned out to be 24 hours and 13 minutes long. Of course, nobody reads that slowly. Still, one of my more recent reviews suggests you can get through the game in about 10 hours. So that's the time to beat. But don't forget to have some fun while playing.

Anyway, I guess I'll mention it. The next project is already on the way. Just look up Perfect Son-In-Law: Hidden S-Rank.
