TLDW; - Impostor Factory is a little over 80% done and is to be released around spring of 2021. - Some exciting things are coming soon after IF. - Yes, the animated film is still happening. You should forget about it for a while so you’re surprised when it comes out. - IF will be darker. - The content of the game may seem unexpected but becomes more familiar as the story progresses. - The story is structured in such a way that you may see where the ending is headed, but it’s worth it to see the may the pieces come together. - 10th anniversary is Nov of 2021. Something is happening then. Take all the time you need guys! We love Freebird Games because of how much effort is put into your games! Better to be finished properly than rushed ❤️
the fact that the game is going to be realised is already enough joy! the fact that you're creating games is already enough joy! the whole community understands this delay and we'll be here any time! :} ALSO WAS THAT NAKED NEIL???
I'd rather it delayed and be what you WANT it to be rather than something you weren't happy with on the day initially planned. Love all you guys do! Be safe and have happy holidays!
No worries Kan! Your games are literally my favorite narrative experiences in gaming and I'm very happy to wait patiently for them. Take all the time you need!
I think it's the Opening theme only. As in To the Moon and Finding Paradise, we have kind of the same main song for opening, but a separated version for the main song. And yes, just like you, i'm waiting for the full version of A reality without me T.T
@@mamangki2599 Title theme's here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1JRrRMUlJEA.html maybe that's the mashup between some songs? idk maybe i'm wrong.
It is probably a Piano Version of the same OST, most of Kan's music has a lot of variety and the main original OST are constructed in an orchestra manner which is cool. Yeah, this might be the piano version, maybe the original has more things into it
Wow, that song at the end might honestly be my favorite piece of music from this series so far. It definitely sounds darker just like you said this game is going to be but it still sounds beautiful too. Funnily enough it seems like Impostor Factory might come out around the time another game comes out that I'm looking forward to called Little Nightmares 2. Guess 2021's gonna start with some slightly sinister stories. Edit: Just noticed that the melody at 5:50 plays in part of the trailer
I'd wait another 5 years if it means that we will get another great game!.... But if you really want to make it up to us releasing some more sneak peaks of the soundtrack wouldn't hurt 🙃
Delays just give more time to work out issues and make sure it's done the way you wish it to be done, I won't fret about a delay on your games because I know you're working on something wonderful. To The Moon and Finding Paradise are in my top 5's in games so of course i'm going to support the decision
Don't worry about it, Kan. We'll wait as long as it takes. P.S. Always love hearing Kan play the piano. For some reason, the beginning of the piece reminds me of Dear Esther's music. Beautiful but bittersweet and haunting.
Hats off, my favorite Game Director. Thank you for the kind, warm and funny update. It really gives my heart a little jump to know that you and the team doing well. And with that said, I am streaming the old games once again till your next project is out in the wild. Take all time you need.
It’s alright Kan!!! Tbh I was kind of expecting a delay already bc of the pandemic and stuff. Even if it isn’t bc of corona, it’s alright. We know you always deliver beautiful amazing stories and they are always worth the wait. We’re still here to give you support! Take your time Kan Gao ❤️
Early July they announced on Steam they're finishing up everything content-wise this month (August) and wanna launch the game early September in multiple languages!
My worst fear is, that we get a fake patient to handle, get super involved in it and then its revealed that its actually Niel we are treating (because of his yet unknown condition and the modified siegmund corp tech). Mark my words: "To the moon" and "Finding Paradise" was just Niel reliving the happy times he had with Eva... gosh I already hate it to say goodbye to either of them.
I would be lying if I would say that I'm not sad. But I kind of was already preparing myself for a delay, considering the series' past. :D And I'm *always* for delaying a game to maximize quality so no need to worry :) Also, thanks for the TtM film update. Just knowing that it still exists is all I really wanted. I wish you and the team all the best and a nice end of 2020! PS: That song sounds amazing! I already loved the main theme in the trailer, but the way you combine it with other leitmotifs is incredible!
please take all the time you need! i've loved your work for years, your games are masterpieces and a huge inspiration to so many people. we're all very excited to see what's coming next, and will gladly wait patiently. please take care of yourselves! the music is absolutely stunningly beautiful as always, and i'm really looking forward to this next work of art once it’s ready!
Think about it. Blizzard's games started loosing quality when they started being delivered on time. I prefer devs caring enough about the game to delay for quality over devs who care enough about deadlines to release it on time regardless of the quality. I am still looking forward to seeing the final product
That song at the end..... it has those bits from ‘Best Detectives in the World’. Knowing that while not officially, it’s kind of been Neil and Eva’s song I wonder what this song will mean in this game. It makes me so sad and scared to think about it, yet I’ve never been more excited. You always make a fantastic story to tell Kan, please keep it up and take all the time you need.
I rewatch this just for the music at the end... dang, I can't wait to buy the IF soundtrack. I can already feel the heartache. Keep it up, Kan, and everyone else at Freebird. You're doing a good work.
Dear god, i just receive the notification and almost had a heart attack, but there's no problem, take your time. And thank you, your games got me inspired and emocional and had helped me to appreciate a lot of moments in life anyway, thank you❤️❤️
The amount of support and maturity in these comments is so encouraging to see. It says something, not only about the kind of community we are, but also about what sort of people Ken's games attract, in the first place.
Thanks for updating us! I saw To The Moon and Finding Paradise by watching RU-vidr playthroughs and I loved them, so I want to buy Imposter Factory and play it myself this time :D
Kan, you make some of the most beautiful pieces of music! Such a joy to listen to them and I expect nothing less but masterpieces from Imposter Factory as well. Cheers!
I just bought To The Moon, A Bird Story, and Finding Paradise and played them all this past weekend. They're AMAZING. Finding Paradise is my favorite. It really touched my heart and made me cry. I wondered if there was a sequel and was pleasantly surprised to find out about Impostor Factory! I never knew about it before now, so the delay means nothing to me lol. I am just excited there's going to be another game!! Thank you so much for creating these games and continuing to create more.
You can't rush a masterpiece. Knowing this game is coming has actually helped lessen some of the anxiety I have felt this year. Everything's gonna be okay, soon I'll have another Freebird game. But I can wait some more. Thanks for everything.
Dang I was looking forward to replaying the series and imposter factory around christmas as is tradition for me at this point. I like to play alot of my favorite story indie games around christmas. Undertale Oneshot and your trilogy are the go-tos. Thin ice mr game designer bud. Thin ice.
Listening to the music makes the wait worth more than enough! Take your time Mr. Kan and team and thank you for the update with your other projects as well!
THE PERFORMANCE AT THE END, IM ALREADY FEELING EMOTIONAL FROM THE MUSIC AGAJKSJD I hear snippets of Bestest detectives and "A reality without me", WHICH MAKES ME THINK OF THE SCIENTIST'S FUTURE AND WEDDING AND I- IM NOT GONNA CRY I PROMISE, IM JUST GONNA CURL IN MY CORNER AND WAIP
I was expecting this game so much to save my year. But I rather wait 10 years if need be, as long as it is good. And we know coming from you guys it will be amazing. Good luck and I wish you all the best. Come spring 2021!!!!!
I'd be willing to wait a hundred years for the next game and I'm sure I'm not the only one. More than happy to wait a little bit longer to receive another wonderful game. Also, thank you for playing a song for us at the end - your compositions somehow always find a way to grant me some emotional release, which is obviously needed, especially considering what kind of year 2020 has been. Hope you and the team stay safe and healthy, wishing you all the best.
Also that song you played for us at the end was beautiful. I'm not going to lie, I hope I don't ugly cry when I play the game just because of the soundtrack alone. (I probably will.)
Everyone else: an update on Ttm animated movie. :D Me, still waiting for Quintessence ch. 12: :/ It's all good though. I think we all kinda expected it to be delayed. You can't rush perfection after all.
Thank you for ensuring us that the To The Moon anime film is still happening. I love that game and the story that you created for it. I hope one day I can share that same story with my friends and family.
Man I cannot wait for this game. Willing to wait as long as it takes. Would love the sheets to that piece at the end too, it's beautiful. Can't wait to hear the rest of the soundtrack.
The Nintendo Switch port of "To The Moon" must have been one of the secret project which occupied their resources. I fell in love with "To The Moon" on the Switch and look forward to check out the subsequent instalments also ported to Switch eventually.
I'm genuinely excited for imposter factory and all of freebird's future projects. And loving the song at the end. I'm wondering in its specifically a new rendition of Eva and Neil's theme or if it just features the motif
It scares me that Bestest Detectives is *actually* a major motif of the game. I was hoping it was just for A Reality Without Me but nooooooooooope I heard parts of what is presumably the "main theme" of this game *and* that soooooo......yeah.
Honestly, my good dude, you and your team have never missed when it comes to these games. Please feel free to take all the time y’all need to make this installment just as memorable as the last ones. Also- love the song, as per usual.
How refreshing to see a comments section full of understanding for the reasons for the delay rather than petty rage and insults. This series of games has truly attracted the more civilized denizens of gaming.
