I just pulled this off of Goblinz home page on FaceBook for those of you interested in the next game.

We have been testing the game since December and, while I was expecting to have it ready for release by now, I was given the estimates a few days ago and they don't look good...
The team has estimated that it will take 2-4 months to release True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part II.
I must say that I was more than disappointed by the news and have spent the last days talking to different members and seeking second opinions. Unfortunately, it seems that those estimates are correct. Because the work on the game has stopped and restarted so many times, going through 3 team leaders, 4 game designers (my assistants) and 2 game engines, we now have many bugs and inconsistencies that need to be found and fixed.
There is also something else. I have written the game 6 years ago and had a very specific vision. During the years compromises were made to save money or simply accommodate other people's or publisher's desires. While separately, each little thing seemed insignificant, it became clear now that the story took somewhat of a back seat and I find it unacceptable. The story is pretty interesting and the trilogy does come, in my opinion, to a very cool and logical conclusion.
I was given the option to wave some problems and adapt the story to release the game a bit earlier but, frankly, I do not want to take it. The game was in development so long already (and actually looks and plays really well) and it would a pity to not add the final touches to save a month or two.
We are currently finalizing the to-do lists and should have a more precise estimate by the end of the month at which point we will make another announcement.
Now, I know that this may seem pretty much like any post we've made in the last years, but there are some differences.
First of all, all the major casual game publishers are onboard, so we know that the game will be on Big Fish Games, for example.
Second, we have the team and money to do it. Holding out 4 months may be challenging, but we do expect to finish earlier - possibly as early as in 2 months. Also we will be releasing the first chapter on Sony PS4 and Nintendo Switch soon, which should bring in some cash.
Finally, we already have the design and budget for the final part. We estimate that it should take no longer than a year to be released after part 2. Possibly less than 9 months. Obviously, coming from us, dates probably mean nothing, but we have a great (almost) all new team, so let's see how we hold the "2-4 months" promise! Hopefully, one day we will rebuild trust!
Once again, thank you for the wonderful messages!!! I keep printing and adding them to my wall. ❤️
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be fully transparent. For a change.
