Hello! I'm here with a progress update on Demonheart: The Cursed Trial, which came out in early access.
I'm happy with the reactions the game has received so far, as well as the love certain characters are getting. happy_yeti
There is now fanart of the Cursed Trial characters. surprised_yeti Some of it is in the Artwork section in the Steam community, and more art has been posted on the Rolling Crown Discord or Tumblr, Twitter etc, if you search for it.
I have been working on the script for the next chapter. As of today, around 12.400 words are in-game for Chapter 4, with more in text documents, waiting to be edited and used. After I am done with the first version of the text, the game will still need testing, scene edits for the scenes that turn out to need it, and polish such as adding sound effects. There will be two new CGs, which are already finished. The estimate for the chapter's release is early February.
I have posted the planned timeline for releasing all the chapters on the store page and in the Steam discussions here - it could change over time, but that is the general plan. With the holiday season ahead, I expected late December and early January to be a slower time for work, so that's why Chapter 4 is planned to come out in February, even though it feels like it could be finished sooner. dazed_yeti
The young rogue Bright has a demon heart which gives her supernatural powers. She is both blessed and cursed, for her heart makes her a target for the demonheart hunters. She must discover who is hunting her and turn the tables on them, while a certain half-demon is plotting to start the Apocalypse. On her journey, Bright reunites with old allies and meets new allies and enemies. The trouble is, in this world it's often difficult to tell which is which.
