Today is the day our game, Eyes of Hellfire, launches in early access. 🎉
To mark the occasion I thought I might share a bit of a thread 🧵 plotting some of the milestones of development of the game from a narrative design perspective.

We're releasing Eyes of Hellfire in early access this week.
To quiet the internal screaming of "OMGITSNOTREADYTHEBUGSTHEBUGS!!" I've been looking back at the progress of development. Here's the first video of a playable prototype I have saved, from Oct '23.
A lot has changed but the core is there

So happy to share that Liam Cunningham is ‘The Host’ in Eyes of Hellfire. Absolutely nailing a creepy as hell character
Arghhh! We’re so STOKED to announce our voice cast, kicking things off with legendary Irish actor Liam Cunningham. Liam is our Host in #EyesofHellfire! The Host is the narrator of the game but one is never quite sure what his intentions are.
Can’t wait for you to hear him. EARLY ACCESS this August!

#EyesofHellfire time-lapse. This little fella is the de-facto mascot of the player characters in our new #horror game. Bad things might happen to them.💀
The tune is from our fantastic composer Gary Keane. Jaunty!
