Hello all!
Well, I can now share some news to share about this project, although no visual stuff yet. These past weeks I've been working on a big document detailing everything I will be doing for the "reboot" of the game. In not so many words, this is the plan:
I'm managing it as a new IP, and that means it will launch as a new game. I already have the title, but right now we can call it "Project Whateley."
When the game launches, those who already own this game will get the update through the Steam Client, but I want you current owners to own the "official" build so I will need your help to transition you to the new game via Steam keys, so your libraries show "the new game" and not "project Whateleley."
"Project Whateley" is still going to be a Lovecraftian horror game, and it's still going to include platforming and environmental puzzles. However, it will also include gameplay similar to Until Dawn (from PS4), including multiple choices and QTEs that will create a branching story.
Due to the "Until Dawn" inspiration, it will include multiple playable characters.
It's going to be episodic. I'm doing it this way because I think it will be easier and faster to deliver smaller chunks than a full game.I'm hoping I can run some sort of crowd-funding campaign to support the development, but in the meantime I plan to use "alpha-funding", so if you want to help me fund the project, you can either purchase The Nightmare from Beyond on itch.io at a discounted price (knowing that you will then be transitioned to "Project Whateley" when it's on Steam). Another way to help is to get The Domaginarium bundle that includes TNFB and The Dreamlands: Aisling's Quest for an even bigger discount.
If you'd rather wait to see "Project Whateley" before you decide to purchase, it's perfectly understandable.
Thanks for your time and your support!
