Between Two Worlds News

That's right, adventurers! It's official! The date is set! Testing is almost done! Everything is a go for launch on June 12th.

In just over 2 weeks, the epic adventure will conclude. Were you seduced by the promises of power and control? Or did you resist the darkness and remain true to those you love?

It has been such a pleasure to have all of you on this journey with me. This has been a true labor of love, and I have learned so much from this process. Thank you all for joining me for the ride, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Ah, tired adventurer! Please, come inside from that dreadful weather and warm yourself next to the hearth!

Hello, everyone! This will be the final Dev Update for Chapter 10, and the game as a whole. What an incredible journey this has been! It's just about time to face down the final boss, or our own demons, depending on which path you took.

Alpha testing for the update will begin this weekend. My testers will have access to roughly 70% of the update at that time, giving them the opportunity to destroy my hopes and dreams (aka, make me fix stuff). They have also been going through the rest of the game, finding the smaller things that need corrections still. Nothing major, just misspellings, grammar issues, things like that. But they will all be fixed in the update.

At this time, I'm expecting things to wrap up in ~8 weeks. Again, this accounts for all of the endings coming in a single update. They won't be released piecemeal. The translators are all doing their part as well, to ensure that those are ready to go.

So, how about a few previews then. Here you go!



Also, I saw what you all were telling me about the follow up title. The title has now been slightly modified and will now be Darkness and Desire. Thank you! If you have any questions, as always, feel free to ask! I'm always looking back at these announcements to answer!

Final note: In the days leading up to the release, I'll be doing daily announcements with special renders to celebrate the big finale. Hope you enjoy them!

In conjunction with the Spring Sale, we're doing a special partnership with Ravager!

We all know the story: hero emerges from humble beginnings, slays the tyrannical dragon, and ushers in a new era of peace and prosperity.

But here, it's the other way around.

Ravager is a game where you play a young dragon, determined to reclaim his birthright. To do so, you will need to build your power, ally with dark forces, evade justice, and whet your monstrous appetites.



Follow the Villain's Journey

Explore your way through a dark fantasy saga that will lead you into the deepest reaches of the world, where you may build your lair. Combine forces with the half-human tribes, opportunistic mercenaries, and stranger powers - like long-forgotten gods, or conniving infernals. Return on the warpath, conquer the lands, and depose the regent who rules in your stead. Forge your kingdom into the shape you want, and reap the benefits of power.



Find Your Own Path

Choose to tackle your challenges through strength or cunning, respect or fear. There are no simplistic morality systems at work here, and you will not be punished for thinking outside of the box. Be magnanimous or tyrannical, honourable or devious, gracious or predatory - and feel free to combine those approaches as your heart and mind see fit.



Build Your Harem

Ravager has a voice-acted cast of dozens, each with their own motivations and inclinations. You'll meet eager supporters, allies of convenience, and deadly foes. Follow their ascent (or descent) under your influence, and decide their fate. Perhaps you might even find love along the way - or father the next generation of monsters.



Discover The Unknown

After almost five years in development, Ravager already features:

• Over 1,250,000 words of dialogue and narration.
  
• Upwards of 1,250 hand-drawn adult illustrations.
  
• More than twelve hours of original voice acting.
  
• A dozen fully animated scenes.
  

This will only increase as we draw closer to completion. Ravager's adaptive narrative ensures that you can play it again, and again, and find new delights every time.

Hello, adventurers! Dropping by to say hello and give you a quick update about the development of the 10th and final chapter of Between Two Worlds! I can happily say that things are moving forward quite well. I'm excited with how things are turning out so far. The writing is now about 65% done, with the majority of what's left being the final confrontation and then the endings and variations within them. I'm also working on the art already as well, which is about 25% done at this moment. For those of you who have been following along, the second half of the work is always easier than the first half. Things will be moving along even quicker, soon!

Just as a reminder, while this will be the final chapter of Between Two Worlds, it will not be the end of our time in Euchora. Once I hand the update over to my beta testing team, I will immediately begin work on the prequel which I have named "Dark Desires". This story will take us into the past of Euchora, and let us see how Alorine fell from grace and was trapped. It will also provide additional backstory and lore for the current characters, and how everyone is connected. I'm super excited about it! Here are some early character designs!

First, a couple of the girls that will be in your immediate circle:





And here we have a shot of Alorine before her complete collapse into evil:



I'm looking forward to getting started on that!

Also, since you got this far, here's a preview shot from Chapter 10!



That's all for now! I'll be back soon with another update, as well as some tantalizing new previews :)
