That's a wrap for #PAXAus and #MIGW, thanks to everyone who came to see the game! It's honestly felt like a dream and seeing people enjoy the game very much reminded me why I do what I do.

I'll be in Melbourne for #MIGW from October 6-13th, and I'll be at both GCAP and PAX. If you're media or a publisher and you'd like to talk about Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic, send me a DM, find me in the GCAP app, or send me an email (iwillbiterawcoffeebeans@proton.me).

Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic recently hit a pretty incredible milestone - 5000 wishlists! It's genuinely incredible to think that something I'm making now has over 5000 people patiently waiting for it to release. Thank you so much to everyone who's wishlisted and played the demo so far.

Artists and game devs! Share your art app and 3 arts you made with it!

Yeah, that's right, I'm a longtime GIMP sicko. If you enjoyed the YHVH demo, or any other game I've made, you were subjected to GIMP art.

Turned around and in 24 hours I gained another 1000 wishlists???

This is literally 3x the number pre-Frosty. I have no words, I need to stop looking at this page lmao.

As a solo developer it's really easy to get in my own head and lose sight of what makes the game worth making. It's people getting excited about the game, playing the game, and writing stuff like this that keeps me going.
(first screencap from @pcgamer.com, second is from @pressstartau.bsky.social)
A screenshot from PCGamer. "Watching the trailer for Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic during the Frosty Games Fest, my first thought was of Dread Delusion, the indie micro-Morrowind. Then the combat started and I remembered Felvidek, the RPG set in early modern Hungary. But overall, I was reminded of the psychedelic historical movie A Field in England. If it's not clear, these are all top-notch things to bring to mind." A screenshot from Press Start. "I'm ready to give myself over to whatever Satan this games artist is worshipping. This game is hot."

On a personal note, today I am so overwhelmed with gratitude to @frostygamesfest.com. This is, by far, the most attention my game has gotten in one burst - under 1000 wishlists to over 1500. Small potatoes by indie standards, but huge for me, for my first game.
A graph of Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic's wishlists over time. It ends with a massive spike upwards on the date of Frosty Games Fest.

An illustration of a hand reaching out of an amorphous mouth towards creeping flames. A robes figure stands in the middle of the flames with a sword pointed at his mouth. A bird-like creature and a humanoid figure drift towards the figure.
