Fursan al-Aqsa Community Items Online!

[Nidal Nijm]

Assalamu Alaykum Brothers and Sisters!

As you may know, Fursan al-Aqsa Development is going very slow and I expect to go even slower, due my normal life circumstances. Everyone is well aware of the reality of Indie Game Development, and that only some few lucky people are able to earn a living out from just game development.

Despite my game's controversial nature, but we all know that it is very hard for an indie game, especially solo developed (without help of a publisher and proper funding $$$), to "break" in the games industry and be successful like Palworld, BattleBit Remastered and other successful indie games. So I will not be able to dedicate full time for my game (I was never able to do this either), but I will need to shift my priorities, and Fursan al-Aqsa will not be my main priority.

I will not abandon this game, never, and I will release the next update, Nablus, the Lions' Den Mission with other improvements, but, to be realistic, I won't be able to finish this update before the end of March, beginning of April.

And other future updates will take a lot more time even for me to release.

But, since the Community Items are ready (I wanted to release alongside Nablus update), and since Nablus update will be delayed for at least one month, I am releasing right now the full community items for Fursan al-Aqsa, which include Profile Backgrounds, Emoticons, Trading Cards, Badges and Animated Stickers, as you can see them here:

So I hope you enjoy this small update, and now you can show to the whole world that you are indeed a BASED gamer, like me:

Enjoy!!!

Não sou eu quem decide o preço das Cartas, é o Steam!

lol I love your selfie in the background. I've played your game since the first day of release and enjoyed it alot ( despite alot of ppl crying about the difficulty) I sincerely hope that you'll get to finish this in peace and deliver something special in the end. Even as a non- moslim I can say that it was a joy to play and wish to see more from you in the years to come. Hopefully more people will grow up and just see it as a game instead of "its not western"

Hello my friend! Your words trully made my day! I am very happy and glad that you enjoyed my game, praise be to Allah. Yes, the Classic version is a hardcore experience, but the Remake is a more accessible and easy to play, but not less fun. Also I feel blessed for having my game competing on the Hardcore Action Game Competition of the Game Connection Americas Awards:

But you all know the reality of indie game development, especially if you work alone, without help of a publisher or funding (money), it makes hard for you to dedicate too much of your time, especially when you have a family to take care (wife, kids, and the like).

However, I will still finish the last update of Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, which will have many new things and improvements, alongside more Achievements and a brand new mission.

After this next update, I can not guarantee how much time it will take for me to release the other updates.

Take your time and I'm sure it'll be good. After having gone through a rough patch myself I understand your mindset of family first. Who knows maybe some1 with funding sees some potential in your project someday soon.

Or maybe something happens and my game blows up on sales? Maybe some giant streamer plays my game on his channel. Anything can happen

Everything is in the hands of Allah (God)

Will you remove the Abrams and other unrelated American vehicles and add merkavas? Maybe a game mode where you blow them up

I just used the assets I had in my hand on that time, but yeah, I may improve this later on, in sha Allah, adding more vehicles and more game modes.
