A 2020 Update from Jack Astral ( 08jackt )

Posted by JackAstral - January 1st, 2020


Hello Newgrounds! It's been a while, huh?


I've been working long and hard on my first real game – VIEW FROM BELOW - a story driven turn based RPG for the last 2.5-ish years.


It's weird, funny, dark, a little crazy...

And it has a lot to say.

I really feel like it's the game I'm meant to make.


The first trailer will be released within the next month or so, along with its Steam page for wishlisting. I'll do another post when that happens to remind everyone ( please care!!!.)

VIEW FROM BELOW will be out within the first half of this year. I'm so excited for people to finally play it.


I think if you liked any of my old ( crappy ) newgrounds games, I think you'll really like this. It's fresh and new, but it has all of the elements I think people liked about those old projects. It's just more refined and...good?

Getting to this point where I have an almost complete "proper-real" game has been strange. Mistakes were made. But I'm happy with where I am now, and what I have to show you all.


I hope you'll check it out, and I hope it'll mean a lot you, like it does to me.

You can follow these last few months of development over on my twitter if you're interested!


Happy New Year, and thank you for everything,


Jack

Heeey you're still alive; still going! :D Looking forward to that next progress report. 2020's the year huh...

Happy New Year!

Thanks! Yup, finally :-S The game took a BIT longer than I thought it would : p

Happy New Year to you too!

That's how it usually goes hmm. :) The longer it takes though the more hype, if you just keep promoting it...

Surprised no one else is commenting here though. Hope more fans are still around.

I probably should have kept my profile a bit active LOL

I'm planning on uploading a demo (the first 30 mins or so) of the game to Newgrounds on release day, so hopefully that gets some peeps attention again :-V

Oooh nice, that's definitely bound to bring some people back again. And definitely some retrospective promo posting. XD Guess you've been pretty heavy into development though.

Looking forward to the day!

Look Awesome,Though The Main Character I Assumed Look Like Frisk Just Missing The _ Of -_-,But Hey Just My Opinion Lol,Hope It Become A Great Game =)
