Afterthought Studios is an indie game development studio that “aims to create stories that will touch the hearts of readers and let them take away a lesson or two, which they can apply to their daily lives.” The studio is composed of visual novel enthusiasts who have been on both the reader and the production side.
Through combining their rich experiences, comes Afterthought Studios’ first commercial project, A More Beautiful World. The kinetic visual novel depicts the journey of Violetta, a young witch, in a medieval world where magic is a forgotten concept. The plot is apparently inspired by Spice and Wolf and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, and it places importance on relationships, money and politics. Intertwined with the storyline will be reflections of real historical events from China, Europe and the Americas, which the developers hope will appeal to those with an interest in history.
Now, here’s where the game needs your help: In order to bring this visual novel to completion, Afterthought Studios requires more funding to do the finishing touches. A More Beautiful World’s Kickstarter campaign began on the 3rd of December 2015 and will be ending in early January 2016, where they hope that they will be able to achieve the pledged goal of $6,500. If this project sounds good, and you want to back the project on Kickstarter, here is the link. Also, Steam users can vote ‘Yes’ for A More Beautiful World on Steam Greenlight.
