The setting is very similar to the previous episode, yes. Luckily though, all of the actual *gameplay* levels use tilesets which I did not use previously. Top Secret 3 is used for a sort of "hub" level which you visit several times, and use to get to other levels. I used it because it is sufficiently versatile and lets me place characters you can talk to.

One question though, since you apparently plan to use a lot of text signs, did you use this thing to circumvent the 16-string-limit?

I did not circumvent the 16 string limit. In fact I had to split a level into two parts just so I could cram in more text strings.

Is this a trilogy and are you finished here?

The plan has always been to do 5 episodes, and I still hope to do that eventually. I already have a fairly detailed plan for episode 4 (which was actually the original plan for episode 3). I made that change for plot reasons, I felt like something was missing with the original idea. Unfortunately that led to an ep3 that was a bit similar to ep2, but these things happen.

Yeah, quite a few. Hopefully less annoying too.
