Nice colors

Thanks! :)

OoOoOoO!!!! AaAaAaHhHh!!!! I like! This really is intriguing!
But question:what's the bardo? Is that like the woods in Aarya's back yard?
Also: my last comment I was bugging you about how long this is gonna take. But I realized, I started writing a book in fourth grade, and have neglected to finish it, but have started 4 other books since then.... So yeah, I guess I see what you mean now... :P

This game is inspired by The Tibetan Book Of The Dead and Buddhism in general. The Bardo is a place, or state of mind, in between death and the next destination, usually rebirth. In this game you will live through the lives of many creatures from birth until death. Each time you die, you will be sent to the Bardo.

Not knowing whether she is dreaming or not, Aarya finds herself lost in a world where she is continuously transitioning from one life to the next. Trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth, she must find a way to escape the ever-turning wheel of life and her current caged existence.

Anyway, I'm glad you find this game intriguing so far! Thanks for the kind words and for understanding why this game is taking so long :)

was playing through earth taken 3 the other day and as i was looking through the achievements i noticed how the achievement to destroy 50 street lights was called 'nightman' also the achievement to search through 10 trashcans was called 'white trash' both of these came across as references to the comedy show 'its always sunny in philadelphia' and was just wondering if you were also a fan of the show, if this comment makes no sense to you, feel free to ignore it! PS love your games

Oh yes, the 'Nightman' achievement was inspired by 'Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia' :) That show is hilarious! White trash on the other hand is just something I came up with, perhaps subconsciously taken from the show as well, hehe :P

First of all, happy to finally be talking here. One of the first games I played, ever, was The Illusionist's Dream. I played that game inside and out till I could play it with my eyes closed.

Earth Taken came out.
I have played every game of yours to completion repeatedly. I nearly killed myself waiting for Earth Taken 3!
And that's what I wanted to say.
This game LOOKS glorious. Spectacular. And I want the actual game ALSO to be those things.
Don't 'kill yourself' getting this game out. We'll be waiting as it is. We're the fans, WE wwill wait until YOU are FULLY READY.
And that's all I came to say.

Ah thanks so much for all the kind and supporting words. It means a lot! 'Enter The Flesh Again' is a sort of spiritual successor to 'The Illusionist's Dream', but will be very different. It's really nice to read that you have played that game a lot and liked it, as well as the Earth Taken series. Again, thanks for the support and patience. These sort of messages always give me more energy to keep working :)

Do you think there could be a male counterpart to Aarya? Austin, maybe? Like as soon as you start the game, it asked you; Boy/Girl and depending on wether you choose boy or girl, it adds your character as Austin or Aarya? I understand if your to deep in to change that...

That's a good idea, but unfortunately I don't think it will be possible :/
It would be nice to choose your gender, but I made the main character a female for plot and gameplay reasons. I'm sorry to disappoint. Thanks for the suggestion though!

It's so-so beautiful and surely amazing artworks!
I really wish I can play this game one day! >_< ♥

Ah thank you :)
I also really hope you can play it one day. This game is taking forever! I'm currently devoting all of my free time on this game so that I can get it done. It's quite a struggle, because it's the biggest and most complicated game I've ever worked on, but it's also a lot of fun. Wish me luck!
