Heya guys! I’ve got an important announcement regarding supporter tiers and all that sort of stuff. There is going to be a small change to the system moving forward into the next month, and I want to make the changes as clear as possible to all of you.

I initially set up the supporter tiers when I first started public update development of the game back in 2023 – where I feel that I personally made some missteps in the way that tiers are priced. Therefore, I’ve decided to make a small change to supporter tiers – including what they offer and what prices certain benefits may sit at.


From the beginning of next month, a new tier is going to be introduced. This tier, priced at $2/month (or regional equivalent) will give access to supporter-only sections of the Discord and DLC content – but will NOT allow members to access newest updates at an earlier date.

Past the 30th of June, the current $2/month tier will be hidden from view, and replaced with this new variant which does not offer early access. This change will see the price for early access to an update increase to $5/month, in line with current industry trends and at a price that I feel reflects the value of what I provide.


Before anyone on the $2/month tier reads this update message and begins to freak out, don’t worry. The current $2/month tier you are subscribed to will still exist, and you will still be subscribed to this tier and retain the same perks that you currently have. Any future supporters, however, will not have the same benefits as you currently have.

I understand that this change could be misinterpreted – however, I want to make it clear that I want this change to be beneficial both for those who choose to support me, and for myself as I continue to fund development for the project. If you have any questions, thoughts or opinions, I am more than happy to hear them – drop me a message on Discord if you’d like to get in touch. Regarding new progress, I’m going to be dropping a progress update over here in the next week or so – so keep your eyes peeled for that!


Thanks for your time,

Maelstrom.

… It’s finally done.

Version 1.9.0 will include:

Downloads for this update will be available through a paid Supporter-Only post on the date of release. A Public release date for this update will be announced in the near future.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience throughout development of this update. I hope that it’ll be worth the wait.

Did you think Arvin's emotional journey was over? Think again, IDIOT! 

After the totally conclusive ending of ‘Another World’, Arvin wakes up in his room, but something is... different. Every character now has amnesia (and a penis), and has forgotten literally everything — except for Nia, who’s convinced she’s the sole survivor of a zombie apocalypse. (Are there zombies? Probably not. But we’re not ruling it out)

Enjoy an extra 600+ hours of content - 400 of which are spent trying to remember what happened in the first game!

Brand-new choices that seem important, but don’t impact the story in any meaningful way!

Even more unnecessary rambles about nonsensical topics (like making coffee) that definitely aren’t just there to pad out the wordcount!

A universe. Because everything has to be in a universe.

The fan-favourite romanceable characters are back… I think? Honestly, I’ve added so many at this point that I can’t even keep track of them anymore.ANYWAY, we’re adding over 100 new characters, such as:

NEVER-ENDING UPDATES - Every month, the game adds a new sequel. You’ll never catch up. We’re already on Another World 74: Tokyo Drift.

Multiplayer Mode! - Experience Another-er World with friends! Kind of. Yeah, we’re still figuring out how that works - so for now, the game supports up to 1 player.

Ray Tracing – Experience the hyper-realistic shadows of Natsuki’s non-existent cleavage!

Clone Arvin Battle Royale! - 100 Clone Arvins drop onto a deserted island. Only one survives. It's probably not yours.

Shake-Based Rollback! - Accidentally made a choice you regret? Shake your phone violently! Arvin will get concussed. It won’t help.

The ‘Would you love me if…?’ Patch – A patch that replaces Saori with a worm. Hey - she asked the question.

Kirei’s Infinite Birthday DLC - Every time you enter the game, it’s Kirei’s Birthday. Again. As if it hasn’t been that for the past year already.

Trash-Can Route DLC - The Trash Can’s backstory is now even sadder. Emotional times.

100 Clones of Arvin - A pack of pre-generated Arvin clones, all of whom are more competent than the original. Please don’t use them for a Battle Royale.
