Hi to everyone i'm glad to announce that we are working on the sequel of Chronicle of Innsmouth. I'm not alone anymore. With me there are AprilSkies(Arts) and Mandle(Translation, Testing and all related to english stuff, except this one for now

)

Overview

The game takes place ten years before Chronicle and tell the odissey of Lone Carter since it disappears in the first game.
there will be old and new characters and this time we will even get to the mountains of madness

Thanks to the contribution of Andrea Ferrara we brought the resolution to 640 x 360 and we changed the nine verbs with a more convenient right/left mouse interface.
We are close to launch a kickstarter campaign in order to provide the best product we can and to be able to translate it in as many languages †‹†‹as possible and if we can, why not, realize porting ios / android and maybe switch. I will warn you as soon as it will be online if someone wants to support us.

Story: 100%
Scripting: 100%
Graphics: 75%
Sound/Music: 60%

Some pictures for you:

Looking good and looking forward to the release.

Also, I (my husband) got a switch, so if you need a tester for it, let me know.

selmiak · Sun 30/09/2018 20:43:42

wow, pretty impressive imagery and this should be a huge and colorful world you are building there

Stupot · Mon 01/10/2018 00:22:56

Looks great. Keep it up.

sawyer · Mon 01/10/2018 02:33:54

OMG. Bless your soul!!

agentbauer · Mon 01/10/2018 17:30:27

Looks great. And I'm looking forward playing it

SarahLiz · Mon 01/10/2018 22:50:47

WOW! This looks gorgeous...I would definitely love to help support the making of this game, I loved the first one! Any estimate (I'm sure it depends on a multitude of factors) on when you guys are hoping to complete the game?

rongel · Tue 02/10/2018 13:59:04

Good luck with the project, the backgrounds look great!

rmonic79 · Tue 02/10/2018 14:37:13

thanks for reply guys

we want to release it in late 2019, it's a realistic dead line cause we are more organized than before.

Scary! Does that mean that all of us on the team drink poisoned cool-aid together on the day of the release? What a publicity stunt!

(Or did you mean "deadline"?)

Blondbraid · Fri 05/10/2018 19:41:23

I must say, the screenshots look lovely!

It looks great, you can never have too many lovecraftian games. Looking forward to it.

shaun9991 · Tue 09/10/2018 10:20:26

Those backgrounds are gorgeous! Very excited about this - best of luck with the development

rmonic79 · Tue 09/10/2018 19:47:18

Thanks guys

Guys the kickstarter is on line. Please share the news

Frodo · Tue 30/10/2018 15:22:07

Just saw this on Kickstarter, and backed it!
Looks absolutely fantastic! ( :

rmonic79 · Tue 30/10/2018 15:25:02

Thanks a lot Frodo

Mandle · Tue 30/10/2018 22:39:28

14 hours left to take advantage of the Super Early Bird Backer Reward!!!

And have fun with the demo! We were tweaking it until 6 minutes before the Kickstarter began, so hopefully it's perfect.

But mention any issues in this thread please if any occur!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/201868287/chronicle-of-innsmouth-mountains-of-madness/

(Hover over our Staff Portraits, masterpieces by AprilSkies, there for a creepy surprise!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I played the demo. It took about 25 minutes to complete. All I can say is that it's INCREDIBLE! The graphics and animation are outstanding. I liked the puzzles and the story is gripping. This has huge potential.

BEST FIRST REVIEW OF ALL TIME!!!

8 HOURS LEFT FOR SUPER EARLY BIRD BACKERS!!!

sawyer · Thu 01/11/2018 00:56:59

I played too. Very nice work for sure. Left me hanging and wanting to continue. The guy walking around was walking a lil slow and I would say it was my phone (old S4). Other than that.... Nice work to all of you! Very special thing here and I am thankful to have played it.

Thanks for the good word!

And, yeah, I'd say the slowdown you experienced was a hardware issue. When I tested the game on a really old computer, like 15-years-old, I got some slowdown now and then especially when a lot of animations and layers were in play at the same time.

KEEP THE KEY!

rmonic79 · Sat 03/11/2018 10:33:34

Trailer posted on thread

Durinde · Sat 03/11/2018 15:53:41

Missed out on the early bird stuff, but I've backed anyway!

Good luck!

rmonic79 · Sat 03/11/2018 15:55:31

Thanks Durinde

Mandle · Mon 05/11/2018 05:41:08

The demo of the game is now also playable in the following languages:

Spanish
German
French
Russian

Whoops, looks like I misunderstood.

I think it's only the trailer that has those subtitles so far.

SarahLiz · Mon 05/11/2018 13:15:26

Can't wait to try the demo! I played the first Chronicles of Innsmouth & really liked it...and this one looks even better! I'm definitely happy to support the making of it on Kickstarter. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the release!

Sarah

CrashPL · Tue 06/11/2018 07:05:26

Backed, my fine fellows. Keep up the great work, it looks grand so far, and I haven't even played the demo yet!

Mandle · Thu 08/11/2018 01:59:39

Thanks guys!

Mandle · Tue 13/11/2018 14:45:13

Sorry for the deliberate bump, but the project still needs some support.

We are halfway through the kickstarter campaign and approaching the first goal but the stretch goals are really where the heart and soul of the production lay.

To anyone who hasn't checked the kickstarter page out yet:

CLICK HERE

You can get a pretty cool free demo at the least and might feel like coughing up a few phlegm-covered bucks in the meanwhile.

We'll even pick them up without gloves. Getting pretty used to fluid-oozing monstrosities from beyond the veil over here.

ManicMatt · Sat 17/11/2018 08:50:47

The lighting in this game looks very effectively moody. Looking great!

Mandle · Sun 18/11/2018 22:21:03

The first funding goal has been reached over at kickstarter!

To anyone who hasn't checked the kickstarter page out yet:

CLICK HERE

However, the stretch goals are also vital and need support!

There is also a new reward package recently added, "Permanent Resident", which allows you your own gravestone in the Christchurch Cemetery within the game, including your chosen name and personal epitaph.

selmiak · Thu 22/11/2018 06:42:07

This is great fun. Do you have some money to burn? I could translate this demo to german for you and maybe later the complete game but let's start small first!

And I longplayed that demo for everyone still unsure if they should back the game or not...

Never underestimate the German market for adventure games. They're your number one marketing target.

EDIT: this demo is most impressive.

Mandle · Fri 23/11/2018 14:28:19

Thanks guys for the support and feedback!

We are at 5 days to go on the kickstarter campaign and the game is now funded for development!!!

But, it would be really nice to be able to include full voice acting in the initial release. The original game only added voice acting afterwards which was paid for at a loss, as is to be expected on a first indie outing, but at professional quality with real actors and proper recording levels.

If anyone could spread the word even further and it was possible to guarantee a fully voice-acted first release then this would really help the game gain a foothold of positive reviews right off the bat.

KEEP THE KEY!

Mandle · Mon 26/11/2018 23:03:28

We are down to the final 62 hours and need a final-straight push to get us to the first stretch goal!

If anyone was waiting until the last minute to throw in a buck or two then this is that time!

Cheers for all the awesome support so far, though, of course!

Frodo · Tue 27/11/2018 14:09:29

I know Mountains Of Madness will be DRM-free.

My pledge-level includes the original Chronicles Of Innsmouth. Will that also be DRM-free?

Sorry for the late reply on this, Frodo, but I believe Umberto replied also on Steam, perhaps.

So, yeah, for the record in here, the original Chronicle Of Innsmouth will be available DRM-free on itch.io is what I have heard.

Hi Guys sorry for the silence but we had alot of problems last years, but we finally have a release date on january 2021!

Slasher · Sat 19/09/2020 11:28:16

Great news guys

Mandle · Sat 19/09/2020 17:41:34

Can't wait to play it!!!

(Again... maybe tomorrow)

mkennedy · Sun 20/09/2020 10:18:21

Good luck with the new Indiegogo campaign. Hopefully you will get some more backers to raise the funds to meet your stretch goals.

rmonic79 · Sun 20/09/2020 10:24:15

Thanks mkennedy. By the way weâ€™re trying to reach switch and mobile porting anyway. itâ€™s a little more complicated and time consuming without enough funds but iâ€™m confident that weâ€™ll reach it.

rongel · Sun 20/09/2020 15:19:51

Good luck finishing the game, I wishlisted it today!

splat44 · Thu 15/10/2020 02:25:33

I did some beta testing on your first game and if this still an option, I'll be more than glad to work on this sequel, let me know by PM and I'll give my email address!

Towards your first game I was surprise landing on following when clicking on your avatar:

QuoteI haven't yet worked on any finished games

I remember that AGS forum wasn't available, some errors took place by making us believe that no works were done on your part "rmonic79"

So I took liberty linking your first game of "Chronicle Of Innsmouth" so members can try out:

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=51243.0

As of matter of fact, search within AGS failed locating that game. Thankfully Google is our best friend! LOL

tservo · Wed 24/03/2021 07:37:22

Hi Playing the game on PC and enjoying it a lot. Innsmouth was my favorite game in years. A question on Mountains though. I also put it on my Android tablet to play on the go and the game works but when it goes to the cutscene to leave to blow up the ice-wall it dips to 1 frame and never progresses to the next scene.It would be great if there is a way to skip the cutscenes so I could play it on the android ags version. I tried clicking any mouse button the Esc key and the android back key but nothing skips the cutscenes. Any word on this would be appreciated. Otherwise enjoying playing it.

rmonic79 · Sun 28/03/2021 22:03:54

The game was released on March 23 2021 Guys!!! Thanks for all these years of support!!!
