Here we are, after two years of hard work, joy and doubts, I can finally offer you with some pride the first version of EXTRA LIFE.

I would have liked to make a long speech and tell you about what happened during the development because believe me, a lot happened.

To create this game I used my own savings, I had to tighten my belt at times but I believed in it until the end, it was all worth it. I am already very happy to have succeeded in bringing this project to the end mainly by myself.

Thank you to all the patrons who decided to believe in my project even before its release, you gave me the strength to continue.

Enough about me, let's get to the game! You can now download it on Discord for all pledgers.

The rest of the world will wait a few more hours

Thanks for a great 0.1 release. I loved the art style and overall feel/atmosphere of the game, but the hidden cash grind(/minigame?) could definitely be improved. But looking through your f95 reply comments, it seems like you might already consider changing that. One slight request would be to improve the dialogue/exposition in the intro when the pc awake as his 30 years younger self. The pc acclimate to this bizarre change of events too well, or rather too quickly. Though to be fair this isn't exactly a major complait(it's quite minor). It breaks immersion as it is now. I would much rather the scene be drawn-out a little bit more, as to ground and established context of the pc's mental state within the opening of the story. Perhaps the pc could look through his computer, having to remember his old password. Just to be clear, I'm only talking about the first scene in the pc's bedroom, the rest is great and lovely(but would make more sense if it had been better established that the pc would act as if he didn't have a extra 30 years of knowledge and experience). I obviously understand that it's just a game and that my view may(might?) not reflect the masses, but i hope you take my request for consideration. I'm sorry that this comment became so long, but know that i wish you continued success in the making of this game. p.s: I'm totally gonna think of this game as "NewLife+", a pun of "New Game+". p.p.s You might want to consider updating your petreon homepage, it's quite bare. :)

First of all, I would like to thank you for helping me to continue this project. I've been working on it alone for two years now and it gives me great pleasure to see people recognizing the work done. I understand the remarks about the main character getting used to his new condition a little too fast. In the first version of Extra life, which was called "the ascent", it was the opposite, I had added a lot of text, explanations, and probably gave too many descriptions. The feedbacks were relentless, the game was way too long, especially for a game intended for an adult audience. I had to cut a lot of things while trying to stay as coherent as possible in the story. I couldn't rewrite the beginning of the game but what I can suggest is to try to add some more in the future, I don't know when but I'll put it on my to-do list. And you're right about the main page of the Patreon, I'll try to complete it quickly and tell you a little bit about what's coming in 0.2
