Hi all,
I thought I should give you another progress update before the holiday madness. =')
My local version of The Cursed Trial's fourth chapter now has 16.500+ words of playable content, and I estimate that's 3/4 of the whole chapt...
Here we are again... in the crypt. xD
Since the Steam launch, I've been writing and editing Chapter 4. A lot of it still needs to be expanded and some choices and consequences added, but the basic structure is laid out. I've scripted the fi...
Another CG is in the works. Here is a preview. I hope you enjoy. :)
We also have a Kaisar CG but it's more of a spoiler so I won't be posting that one.
Just a quick notice that Demonheart: The Cursed Trial with its currently available three chapters is now available on Steam! 🥳

Hello again!
Here is a screenshot of Raze, because I feel like sharing the humans would already be a spoiler at this point.
In October we had two updates to the existing content - the second one just came out. You can read the update ...
2023-10-26 13:56:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe've had a little at-home test of the third chapter of Demonheart: The Cursed Trial, and the conclusion is that I need to focus a bit more on the relationship points and the main character's alignment. The way she reacts to some events should be ...

Whew! :') I've been waiting to say I finally finished writing and fixing some scenes for the third chapter and I have all the scenes scripted and playable. It still needs a lot of testing before it can see the light of day. It also needs some back...

In the spirit of the first Demonheart... ouch. (I didn't want to post spoilers, but it's out of context, right? 😳)

After publishing the second chapter on itchio, I had a time of great productivity working on the third! :)
I revised the old text I had prepared for Chapter 3 and made detailed notes about what each character is thinking after the first mur...
The game is now available as early access on itchio and it includes the first two chapters.
After their first, semi-peaceful day in the haunted...
We're almost there with the second chapter... I just need to test it a few more times. xD
For now, I hope you enjoy the new screenshots.
At the end of July, I enlisted the help of another artist to do a special... background "object", let's say. xD You'll see what it's about when the second chapter is out.
We also got one special Ran illustration finished, and now all the art...

The full illustration of this Kaisar scene is finished! :)
This week I've been fixing some technical issues and transferring the anagram minigame from the first Demonheart to the Cursed Trial. There are only a few issues left to fix, and th...
While we wait for the full version, here is a sketch of the first special illustration with Kaisar. This image will appear in the second chapter. Soon. :)

At the end of June I went on a little vacation to take some time off and cope with the post-release depression and burnout (it's a real thing.) I think it went well :) so the work continues.
The artist finished one more CG, this time with K...
You can now download the demo from the game's Steam page!

The first chapter is released on itchio as a free demo!
The game is also available to preorder, but remember, if you're backing at tier Protagonist or higher on Patreon, you will get a key anyway. :)
Since we're having various techni...
Here is the finished illustration! It feels like that came pretty quickly after the sketch.
I've been testing the beginning of the game which will come out as a demo soon. BTW, this scene happens later, but it's here to show that there will...
We got the sketch for the first romantic CG. It's Ran because... Well, would you rather see Ran or Kaisar? (Serious question. o_o)
I have conflicting feelings about showing the CGs because they are spoilers in the sense that there will be l...
Here are some new screenshots from the last playtest / editing session! :)
Since the last time I posted here, I updated the game's UI, which still needs some fixes. I've also bought some premade backgrounds and edited them (I added the rain...
I'll drop this here because I have no words... 😱
I hope you like it. 🙂
Since almost all the sprites are finished (except for the player's) we're getting to the fun part - special character illustrations! I'm so excited about this. But also, this is the part where Lamb better know what she's doing and what exactly is ...

These designs just arrived for the main character in Demonheart: The Cursed Trial.
I'm having a hard time choosing, but they're basically all good. xD What do you think?
Janiya's sprite is now finished! Do you share Leona's opinion about her dress being inappropriate, or is it more on the awesome side? 👀 (Either way is fine, the people trapped in this cursed village will all have their friends and enemies.)

This concept art / sketch just arrived! It's the witch Janiya. She is the last one of the planned NPCs in the upcoming game. After her sprite is done, we'll need to design the player character and the special illustrations (CGs).

Another sprite is finished - meet Bane (the Huge Man, until you learn his name.) Now Kaisar and Bane's introduction scene is fully illustrated. :)

I finally made all the screenshots to set up the Steam page! :D
There is also some more info about the game on there. The screenshots might get replaced with different ones when I get more art.

Here is the concept of the elderly bard, Elos. He is a pleasant man... and a demon worshiper. :3 After his sprite is finished, we'll need two more NPC sprites and the player character, and the CGs / special illustrations that I still have to plan ...

Things have been going fast. We have a new sprite, and another one in the making, as well as a new background. I made this screenshot, which might look slightly different in the final version, but anyway... Meet Leona. And no, her expression won't...
