RECAP:
Its incredible how the situation evolved in those 2 weeks.
From being scared to publish, to having some nasty negative feedback, to slowly catching success. Then the first frontpage, on Newshounds. Numbers of reviews growing drastically with each day. Top 10 at IndieDB, and eventually - #1 spot. Antumbra catching more wind in its sails. Then frontpage on Gamejolt. Dozens of youtubers recording their Lets Plays for Antumbra. #8th spot in monthly competition at Kongregate. Then Markiplier playing Antumbra. Hundreds of thousands players watching and admiring the game. Dozens of thousands coming in to play by themselves. Requests after requests... For Antumbra 2 to be made into reality. And now I am days from starting IndieGoGo campaign. And all of that happened, in less then 3 weeks.
This is.... mindblowing. You don't hear about such stories in real. Sure, we watch them - but in movies and books. Not in reality. And even if so - they always tend to happens to someone else... And here I am. Standing in awe. Watching my dreams coming true. Quoting a line, from one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies in our history...
"They should have sent a poet..."

ANTUMBRA 1 UPDATE:
There will be one final update after the Easter. Probably tomorrow. Spelling errors, mistakes, some bug fixes + some NEW STUFF :D But shh... no spoilers. Stay tuned

ANTUMBRA 2:
In about a week I'll be starting an IndieGoGo campaign to raise funds for Antumbra 2. This is because... Well. I'll be honest with you. Antumbra is a creation of exactly 2 weeks of work. Combined. Because I had to go in and out. Due to real life issues. It was not polished. As you know - I made the game by myself and FOR myself. To vent. Not to farm fame or glory. I was in pain. I didn't give a flying F will anybody like it or not. When I've encounter a problem - I just erased the problem. I did not look for a solutions, for a walkaround. I just hit delete and kept on moving. I don't want to come out like I am bragging or thinking I am some sort of genius. But I do claim that Antumbra... Was made without me even trying. It was a little, tiny spark. Of what I am capable of. Most of the stuff I had to get rid of, due to lack of time and money. Instead of 100+ locations you can visit only 27.
But Antumbra 2... In Antumbra 1 I gave you access, to 3 months of my life. 3 months worth of feelings and madness. A sneak peek into my world. An elusive taste of the whole. But Antumbra 2 will not be just 3 months. But 30 years, of my existence.. Or more. Semi-quoting Blade Runner: "You'll see things you people wouldn't believe". Madness and misery, glory and happiness. I will take you to the deepest corners of human existence. I will make you met God, written by capital "G". I will show you hell and heaven, angels and demons. I will sink you into deepest swamps of human subconsciousness... Just to brutally pull you away and leave you above. For you to bend and cry, stunned in awe, watching the Golden Gardens of Red Leaves. I will take you through the planes of Everhills. Where the world has died long time ago, and the whole land is shrouded by toxic clouds of rotting corpse of dead gods. Leaving only the mountains picks free from the poisonous stench. I will blow wind, into your sails. Once you swim through ocean of Leghorns, - Sentient, living islands. I will show you bitter beauty of things not from this world. Not because it banks. Not because A1 is on frontpage like everywhere, not because, I often land on #1 spot on IndieDB. Not because Markiplier sent loads of traffic my way.
No.
But because... First time in my entire life. I have a chance to show what's hidden. First time in my life someone has the guts to experience the insides of my soul. First time in my life, I do not need to pretend and act. First time in my life I can run around naked, with my heart and soul left in the open.
And this is the one-of-a-kind chance. To set myself free. By throwing you into my own world.
I can make many games. If Antumbra 2 won't success - I'll try my luck with another genre. But I won't be myself. This is the one and only time when I am letting thousands of people visit my disturbed mind.
And this is why Antumbra 2 will blow yours. Because my goal is to make it a masterpiece. The creation of my life. My, personal footprint, on this blue and green planet. A mark, which will live forever, even long after my death. My legacy.
And to prove... That sequels not always sucks ;)
But such achievement cannot be done overnight. I order to make Antumbra 2 as good as I claim it can be - I need at least 4months. I need to work full-time. And obviously - this is something I cannot afford in my current situation. Hence the IndieGoGo campaign.
Late "Happy Easter!" :D And take care... My dear Friends.
My... Antumbrians.
