After an incredible first week of fundraising for THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD... I'm finally going to crack into the script for the first time in a year!

If anyone out there has good Reddit Karma and wants to post about The Waves of Madness being out of YouTube to some big subreddits... I'd REALLY appreciate it! Thank you! (Link to Youtube in comments)

Day 2 of the campaign rocking the best numbers ever for a horror project!

Santa has decided to drop in early this year as @jasontrost.bsky.social has made THE WAVES OF MADNESS available for FREE on YouTube! If you spare 68 minutes, you'll find some the purest, DIY-Indie filmmaking this year that merges the spirit of gaming & film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1t4...

Adding to that, fundraising for the sequel, THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD is also live. If you enjoyed THE WAVES OF MADNESS and are cruious to see where it goes, I highly reccommned checking out what Trost is cooking up there. chuffed.org/project/1610...

Over 50% funded in two days?! You peeps are incredible! Thank you SO SO much! (Link to fundraiser in the comments below)

HO HO HO!

It’s here! The fundraiser for THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD. The insane, blood-soaked sequel to The Waves of Madness! More monsters and more side-scrolling terror from the depths of Australia’s underworld. Jump in and help bring this beast to life. chuffed.org/project/1610...

THE WAVES OF MADNESS is now officially FREE on YouTube in glorious 4K! To celebrate the upcoming fundraiser for the sequel, THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD, I’ve released the entire film for everyone to watch, share, and descend into cosmic chaos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1t4...

Currently planning out THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD fundraiser. Any perks you would like to see?

Random question... Did anyone who purchased a THE WAVES OF MADNESS Collector's Edition get one that was numbered greater than 350? Example, "351-500"? THANK YOU!

Long story short, looks like I’m going to try and figure out how to make THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD (Waves of Madness 2) next!

Since all of you are single handedly pulling me out of the creative sinkhole I’m in, I think it’s only fair I listen to requests. What would you rather I develop next - A continuation of The FP Universe, the next adventure of the Waves of Madness Universe, Or… something else?

Had a blast chatting AFAR with the A4E gents!

New (Bonus) Episode! Mike and Producer @odstspartan.bsky.social welcome back @jasontrost.bsky.social to talk about his new FMV game, AFAR. It's short and sweet. No fuss, no muss. Enjoy. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

I hate to do this, and this is the last time I'll do this, but if anyone can help me get out of the hole I'm in, I'd really REALLY appreciate it. I've learned my lesson going forward to NOT work with distributors. Thank you for your support and patience! www.gofundme.com/f/vrwpgd-hel...

As a longtime fan of the S.D. Perry Aliens vs Predator books and dark horse comics of the 90s, I loved Predator: Badlands!

Whenever I feel like I'm not doing enough, I need to remember I've written and released three books within the last year. www.amazon.com/stores/Jason...

Maybe I just make another interactive horror film set in the AFAR universe... 🤔

Big thanks to 366 Weird Movies for this awesome little spoiler free review for AFAR!
