Our Way Down
First audiobook! (Featuring Hector)
Thank you,
-Basim
Heavy news. PLEASE WATCH VIDEO.
Like I said in the video though, I don't intend to end our adventures with Hector or other characters like Ara. It'll just be in other mediums, like audiobooks and normal books.
But again, yes, the games will be coming off of Steam. If you already own copies of my games, I'd imagine you get to keep them.
We don't die here - Still in progress
Just making this post to let you know that I'm still working on "We don't die here."
This project is... Fwoof... So many re-writes and starting from the beginning, goodness...
But, progress is being made.
If you want updates on the game or want to see the occasional short video I make, here's my youtube channel.

Thank you all again for playing "Our way down"!
1.3 The Flavor Update
Medium sized update!
Things added:
-Flavor text added to many objects in the environment.
-Some flavor text in the environment will now change as major story beats happen.
-1 new secret to find. (It's not really that hidden... Heheh...)
-Some additions and alterations have been made to some of the maps.
-A dialogue line or two from the main story have been adjusted.
-More content in post-game content room.
These changes have been made based on feedback I've gotten.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to implement all the suggestions. It's still lacking in some things but, I hope this enhances the experience at least a little!
Thank you for playing!

My first game, Ara and the Empty Universe, is NOW on Steam!

Thank you to everyone who even so much as CLICKS on it. It's all hugely appreciated and helps a lot!

My next title's KickStarter!
Gonna cut straight to the chase. The KickStarter for my next game "We don't die here" will begin soon! If you'd like more of the same character driven, storytelling style you saw in "Our way down", then I'm going to be doing more of that here~. BUT, on a bigger scale~.
KickStarter pre-launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/we-dont-die-here/we-dont-die-here?ref=discovery
You can push the "notify me" button in the link to have KickStarter notify you directly when the crowd fund begins! Every click helps!

Finally, again, thank you to everyone who also got my first steam release (Our way down) to 133 reviews and a 95% positive review score.
It's not ground breaking, but it's certainly not bad for a first Steam release~.
I'm looking forward to sharing my next title with all of you~.
My next game (demo) is here on Steam!
Did you find this game amusing and want to see more of my work? Welp, I have the demo for my next game here on Steam!
The game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2105080/We_dont_die_here/
Here's one of the demo trailers:

Finally, I just want to give another thank you to everyone who downloaded this game~. Every page view, copy that gets picked up, download, discussion post, fanart, review, it all helps~.
Thank you so much~.
P.S. I'm still blown away at the FAN ART. People did actual fan art for this game. Seriously, go to the community art tab. It's astonishing that some people were that entertained by my work and gave their time to do that.
Discord server, next game, and more!
STUFF THAT'S HERE NOW:
1. Discord server!
Discord server link: https://discord.gg/MpjRRCMn
This is the quickest place to get the latest news on my games and current projects.
STUFF COMING DOWN THE LINE:
1. Game demo is in the works and will be coming in roughly 1 month. Stay tuned on my Discord and other social media for news!
New title demo progress:
-Writing: 100%
-"Programming": 95% (All the hard mechanics are just about done and ready to go.)
-Actually "BUILDING" the demo: 15% (This part isn't hard, it's just tedious. This is just "building" the rooms and encounters within RPGMaker. Not hard, just takes time.)
-Visual assets: 75% (Almost there but, there's still work to be done.)
2. I plan to Kickstart this new game shortly after this demo releases.
A LOT of work still needs to be done before the kickstarter can commence. But, I'm getting there~,
Thank you again to everyone who has expressed interest in and/or played any of my games~.
STAY TUNED FOR THE FOLLOING:
NEWS COMING SOON:
-Discord server for all my games. This will be the fastest way to get news on my games and what I'm currently doing. (In the works.)
-News on next game and the kickstarter. (In the works and it MIGHT get delayed.)
-Possible opportunity that guarantees me income. (If this happens, I will have to delay the kickstarter. The DEMO will still happen but, the kickstarter and finishing the game will get pushed off.)
I will be in touch soon with final details on everything here!
Oh, also, thank you so much again to everyone who has done Let's Plays or fan art. I'm SUPER flattered by the fan art.
Sincerely,
Basim
What happens now?
So, I've got 3 announcements to make.
1. I am in the middle of working on the demo for my next title. It's going to be much larger in scope than Our way down and it will share the same universe. I also plan to kickstart this new project~.
2. Our way down 2 is VERY LIKELY going to get a sequel. However, I want to finish the project I mentioned above first.
3. Want to support my work? You can tip me over on my itchio page. Itchio offers people the option to tip when picking up a copy of the game.
Itchio page: https://basim-aziz.itch.io/our-way-down
Regardless of whether or not you decide to donate, thank you SO much for playing or even just grabbing a copy of the game~! Even if you just watched a Let's Play or a stream, thank you! Every view, every download, it all helps.
Here's my instagram and youtube, if you're interested in news and updates about my future games:

Oh and, some additional fun stats.
Overall user review score: 96% positive
Copies currently picked up: 15,200+
Average page views: 700 - 1000 per day
Average downloads: 65 - 100 per day
And this is almost 2 months after release! (These numbers were of course much higher during the first 2 weeks. I'll release the lifetime charts for views and downloads later, if people are interested.)
Thank you SO much to everyone who picked up a copy. Another huge thanks to anyone who has done Let's Plays, Streams, and/or fan art of this game~. Also, big thanks to people who offered criticism and feedback too! I will definitely be learning from this game and will be taking these lessons into my next game.
I really wish I had better words to express my gratitude than just "THANKS!" Heheh...
WELP! Onto the next project! Stay tuned on my YouTube and/or Instagram for the demo and kickstarter for my next game!
