A happy New Year, and a peaceful retirement! news

To start things off, yes, you heard that right.

KiraImmortal as an alias, retired yesterday.
Not to worry, I will continue to interact with the community, work on and release creative work, but after completing a portfolio spanning over 10 years (and even 15 including older releases), I figured it's time to put up the shutters, and time for something new.

So with that, let me present my final project as KiraImmortal, released "right on time" on my last formally active day.

Esophagus - A Pandemia Escondida demo:

As my last project I can easily say, that it was the hardest part of aforementioned portfolio, with numerous crashes, redesigns and member changes. The sheer scale of it still frightens me from time to time, but I've been teasing playable material for years, so here's one!

Note that it's already a demanding mod, but the demo contains unique storyline and gameplay entirely "unrelated" to that of the final product. So feel free to try it, and of course, give me feedback and bug reports!

Here's an official walkthrough it you need it:

So what happens to the unfinished projects?

My plan was to leave peacefully in a way, that no TDD project is left "in TBD", and this is exactly what happened. I released all projects that I have planned to, leaving 2 in Early Access,including Pandemia.

These projects will NOT be abandoned however.

The big change here, is that 2023 was a year when I completed around 6 releases on Dark Descent. In 2024 my focus will almost completely shift from the game, and these 2 projects and any other lingering releases introduce a formula similar to Forbidden Trip.

I will release some things when updates are ready, with no date or content restrictions whatsoever.
So if you're still interested in existing project updates such as my Gun Mod or Pandemia itself, and more, be sure to follow their pages, and my Main Page.

As a formerly lead figure on Pandemia, it will certainly go under "new management" so to say from now on..

That would be all really.

Thanks for everyone who contributed and gave me constructive criticism during the last 10 years, all this work made me a better design and story guy, which is still who I remain after all this time.

When I have something new to show, I will announce it, until then, have fun with what's already available,
and have a great 2024!

Cheers, and farewell!
