Hi again Newgrounds !!!

As you may know, I made really terrible visual novel games here for several years - including Dead Detention, Alula Falling, and lots more. But just over 2 months ago, I released my first * real * game, View From Below.

It's a story-driven turn-based RPG inspired by games like Undertale and Earthbound, and movies like Donnie Darko (and anime in general, as always). In it, you play as a struggling high school student who is captured by a mysterious presence, and taken to a scary new world. You'll fight demons, solve puzzles, and unravel several dark mysteries, on your quest to escape it.

I also wanted to take a moment during these strange times to thank everyone that has played and supported View From Below so far ! All of your suggestions have really helped it to grow and improve, and I'm so proud of where it is today. Since launch 2 months ago, I've added tonnes of new content, fixed some glitches and taken on lots of feedback to help make the game the best it possibly can be.

With patch 2.0 - which just released - I've really added in my last ideas for the project. It's breaming with content now, from side quests, to mini games, to secrets, and much more. I really can't put into words how good it feels to finally have something out that I'm truly proud of.

And so what's next for me and my tiny little game? Mainly I'll be focusing on getting it in front of as many people as I can. But also.... yes, I've begun early stages on my next project, and you'll be seeing ( and playing ) it much sooner than you may think.

This has been a really dramatic, awful year, so it felt really strange to release my game and expect people to care when so much more important things are going on. But maybe a game about hope and kindness wasn't such a bad thing to release in 2020.

Please stay safe out there. You'll be seeing more from me soon.

Jack.
