Skyless Blind (Game Info & Kickstarter)
Normally I would not do this, and more so would post it as a reblog or something, but considering @oneshotgame has not posted anything here (but HAS posted on Bluesky and Twitter, yes I'm still gonna call it that) I figured I'd make a post about it on Tumblr too. (whether it gets traction, not sure, but better than nothing) So, Skyless Blind, a game that is in beta right now and has a KickStarter that will be ending in about 8 days from when this is posted (July 12th after midnight for me) and the game has gotten halfway to it's goal. ($10,887 to be exact, out of $20,000) The link at the beginning of this paragraph leads to its Itchio page that has the beta FOR FREE right now.
If you like Yume Nikki, if you like space (as it has you traveling between different worlds in space, and it's also a space horror-esque type of game), if you like beautiful scenery, and if you just like exploring and collecting things... I've been playing the game for over 10 hours so far, and still not done with the game. Again, this is a FREE beta, and has A LOT of content. There even is apparently a hidden world the developer has hinted about, that STILL has not been found yet. So there is still some mystery with the game too. And then? To add on to "what does OneShot have to do with this game?" NightMargin made the Kickstarter page's art for the game, AND? There has been a recent video that is teasing OneShot content also that will be in the game. (check the links to BlueSky or Twitter as those are the only posts about it so far)
A big reason this is possible I would say, is because Near, the lead developer behind the game, is also working on Margin of the Strange, which is the current game Night is also working on, her being the lead developer behind it. So with Near working on MotS, as well as Night REALLY wanting this game to succeed in it's KickStarter as well, having some OneShot content to lead some OneShot players into the game might help too! Also, while this stuff WILL be accessible to all players once the full game releases, the backers will be the one to get access to this FIRST. (if you are not a backer, this will NOT be available to you until the full release!)
I'm actually REALLY hoping the Kickstarter gets funded, not just because I put in a pretty big tier for it. (and I don't mean $100... you might see a recognizable icon next to one of the tiers if you notice haha...) But because a friend is also working on the game, and they've been working VERY hard on it... and I really want this to succeed not just for the funding of the game, but also so that they can be part of a successful KickStarter too. Especially since, if this doesn't succeed, the Near has said this could take several years to fully complete too, and... it would really be such a shame for that to happen. (especially with how playable and how much content is already in the game) So if anyone sees this? If you can't back the game, at least spread the word. Whether a reblog, or just telling friends, either way works for me, as long as the word gets spread.
