Hello!
We are back. As was stated in our previous announcement, we were trying to port New Earth over to Unreal Engine, this did not succeed. No fault to Unreal Engine, great engine, and we will use it again someday when we create different sorts of games, but for Visual Novels, we will stick to Ren'py.
In the course of testing different aspects of the new engine however, we managed to build an entirely different game, short and simple, but we think fun :-)
As a thank you for your patience, and your purchase of our early access title, we have been in discussions with steam about providing this new short game, as a free game, for anyone who owns our existing title when this new game releases on May 9th.
The game is a simple Hypno game, and is called, "Island of Corruption."

We have never done a free game like this on steam, so not really sure whether notifications will go out or not, so Wishlist today, as not to miss this opportunity, as it will be here and gone before you know it!
As for the radio silence since last August, it has been a very busy year, not just with the game stuff, but with personal business that has taken up a tremendous amount of our time and efforts, that would normally have been dedicated to crafting our game.
But with the new title complete, we are back onto New Earth: Saga of the New Gods, and as we said before the attempted port, we are nearly done with the game, and once complete, we will upload the new bits and bobs, as well as a few new tricks we have picked up, and move on to two additional titles, both related to the Saga, as well as the first DLC's of the Saga.
The Future:
DLC: The first DLC which should follow fairly quickly, will be more Kinetic than Visual Novel, following the course of the continuing novels that my husband has written, followed by both paid and free DLC's following the other arms of the story.
New Title:
1. Island of Corruption: This short stand-alone Visual Novel is complete, and ready to be enjoyed. It will be provided free to everyone who already owns New Earth Saga of the New Gods, when released on the 9th, will be 2.99 purchased a la carte, and available at 10% off with a new FPCGameSoftware bundle we will be putting out. - This title is expandable and will be if it is popular.
