Corrosive Supporters,
So, it's been an idea I've had for a little while, it's been several years since the first Waste Walkers came out. Would you like to see Waste Walkers 2?
Link to the first for discussion purposes:

Now, it's going to depend on a lot of things, but I could start heading in that direction in as little as a couple of months. I need feedback, though, and I want to hear what you have to say. This is really my first time mentioning a sequel to the game (or any game for that matter) so it's just a topic of discussion for now. Nothing is definite.
The original game had the largest following of any of my games and tens of thousands of players. In the first few years, it was wildly popular and exceeded my expectations by a long shot. It was however, my first game. That means it was when I had first started college, barely had any idea about game design or programming, and just had a vision and brought it to life. Now, I have all of the above. Features that never made it into the first game are now second nature to me. I could do it, and I would, but it has to be viable for me because I would love to work for free and on nothing but good intentions, but I obviously cannot do so.
The expansions for the first game were well received and gained me a lot of momentum and great income for a time. I was able to focus on new projects and develop my skills further. The story in Waste Walkers Deliverance was hailed as my best storyline for the game as a whole and in general, I think it was some of my best storytelling and work.
I already have some scattered plans for this, but now is your time to communicate with me and discuss this idea. What did you like or not like about the first game? What fell short? What was great? Would you be interested in a sequel? Tell me!
The only way I'd be able to do this is to start off with a Kickstarter. I'd have to have at least some form of financial support to do this to sustain myself and help keep the lights on while I work on it. If I don't create this, I'll likely be leaving the RPG Maker engine behind for good to go work on later and greater things. Primarily Unreal engine now that I have the skills and knowledge to support it.
Please let me know what you think. I would really value your opinion and your feedback.
Thank you.
