Devlog #7: Inching toward a playable demo and a last-minute name change

Age of Heralds
A downloadable game

Oof, it's been awhile. I wish I could blame this entirely on being in full-time work again but there's been some writing procrastination in there too. Not a lot has advanced visually but internals are slowly been being put together as the game inches toward a playable demo.

Sound effects have crept in too as I've been lingering on animations to trawl Freesound and tweak Chiptone settings.

And after reflecting, I've decided to rename the game to 'Age of Heralds', which is less thematically on the nose and less confusing than Age of Extraverts ('is it spelt Extrovert of Extravert? What's the difference?') so that was a fun half-day getting all the relevant images, copy and domains updated.

2 Up Next

Releasing something in January as per my last devlog didn't end up happening so I'm going to stop making these promises (although I really do feel something will be up in another month…).

April will be finishing off remaining art assets, starting the music composition and fine-tuning the gameplay.

Oh, and finally choosing a font.
