Hi everyone! Sergios here.

Finally, I got some good news.

Im releasing not one, but two new games today.

One is called Elsewhere. Its a game inspired by Yogscasts Jaffa Factory series, and is essentially a throwback to the old Tekkit days. Ive been working on it since before Hearthlands and in 2018 switched to it almost full time. So, yeah, it took a while.

The game turned out to be huge and there are still many things I want to do with it (like adding an ending), so its gonna keep being updated for a while.

I wouldnt go as far as to say that things are looking up after 3.5 chaotic years, but at least I can release my games and get paid for it (hopefully enough to survive, since I dont have anything else going on) which is new.

Also, the Yogscast people loved the game and let me use their stuff in it. Which is something I myself cant still fully believe.

Here it is:

If you already own Elsewhere, you should be able to grab a Steam key from Humble if you go to the link that was sent to you when you purchased the game. If you cant figure it out email me (

info@hearthlands.com

) and Ill get you the key.

A positive review will go a long way. This is a decade worth of work and Im terrified to set it loose onto a largely unsuspecting audience and just see what happens. First impression is very important and I would very appreciate if you take a minute to write something.

Please remember though this is a work in progress, and Im not trying to one-up or recreate Minecraft (or Yogventures for that matter). Much like with Hearthlands this is something I always wanted to play, so I had to make it myself.

The second game is called YogLabs: Testing Initiative. Its a free game based on the old-school Yoglabs series. Its a standalone puzzle/adventure game made in Elsewhere.

Its gonna have at least two episodes (the first one is complete; the second one is about 60% done).

I really liked making these adventures, so ideally, Im planning release new ones from time to time (considering Elsewhere is successful enough to let me do this).

YogLabs is voiced by Lewis, Boba, and Duncan, to whom Im very grateful.

I know how fans can be highly critical of other fans work, so just keep in mind that we all see the things we love from a different perspective and this one is mine. Im not forcing it on anybody, its free, and the Yogs themselves loved it, even though its very different from what theyre doing in Yoglabs 2.

Im also releasing my music collection (around October 30th), which combines higher quality tracks from Hearthlands with 20 years worth of music from my other games. It comes with a little career retrospective in a pdf.

I dont expect it go platinum:) It was something I did while I was waiting on other things and it was very fun for me to remember and re-record this stuff. Hope youll find it interesting too.

Thats it for now.

There are many other things that are in the works from ideas to demos, to 90% completed games that Im not gonna talk about, because Im too superstitious:)

Hopefully theres gonna be more stuff to share with you soon.

This is my dream that you helped me live, I\'m infinitely grateful for it, and Im not giving up.

Thank you all and take care,

Sergio
