Don't worry about it! (Come to think of it, I never did get your PM. There's no hurry, though! Take all the time you need.)

Oh wow so many endings ;A; that is fantastic! I love the idea of having different backgrounds and choosing one affects the dialogue. I also like how you can choose between playing as a male or a female. Anyways I wish you good luck!

Thank you both for the luck :D (I need it)

Posting here to let everyone know that I'm still alive and that this project isn't dead.

Well. There's good news and there's bad news.

Bad news is that my computer (along with a bunch of other stuff) got stolen a few days ago. So I've hit a bit of a snag with parts of the Afterland script that I hadn't uploaded and which are now gone. Yes, it sucks, but I'm not looking for sympathy. XD Just stating a fact.

Good news is that I am officially done with exams (thank goodness) and now have about 2 months worth of spare time to work on the script. :D Let's hope I don't get writers block.

Thank you to all the artist applicants for this project so far. 8) It's been pleasantly overwhelming.

Zohomygoodness. I still haven't finished this script. But I am working on it /sweats/
I don't want to compromise the writing by hurrying it though so this project is going to take longer than I originally thought.
I put the benchmark at 5th September 2015 because writers block. >.>

Interesting project! It definitely looks like this project will require a lot of work and planning. Good luck!

Also, it seems like you want this project to be commercial. Unfortunately, I think the name "Afterland" is already taken by another game.

Afterland by Imaginary Games

I'm no lawyer or intellectual property expert, but I think you might want to change the name, given that this other project already has some visibility and started back in 2013.

Ermagerd. Okay, so now I have to change the game name because why the heck didn't I check it was already taken. :cry: :?:
This may seem a liiiiiitle bit silly but scripting has ground to a halt due to this revelation. (Not to mention I now have to change the lore about the reason why it is called whatever it will be called, amongst other things ---my signature being one of them)
My poor little logo is redundant. Which is horrible and awesome at the same time.

Creative juices have been diverted to name & logo creation which has me wading through a river of words/concepts related to Afterland my game. I am not objecting to anyone reading this throwing ideas at me.

So far "Faelind" is the main contender.

Maybe you could look into Celtic mythologies for inspiration, since they're full of fairies.

EDIT: Came up with an idea while out on a walk: Land Beyond the Looking-Glass.

This project is being put on hold indefinitely due to real life complications. If anything changes I will update.

I hope things in real life get sorted out for you! I love the idea of this project. It's definitely very expansive, which is very impressive because I don't see many people attempting to do nearly as much. I also really like how our choices (even our backgrounds) directly affect the game and our possible endings. Very cool.

If you ever get back to this, I could definitely help out with the writing.
