After eight months of work, including creating a Game Design Doc, learning Ren’Py, writing the opening 20 minutes of the game, and finding artists…the demo for Black Heaven: A Necromantic Dating Sim is done.
I’ve gotten almost universally positive responses for the Beta version of the demo, and now I’m super excited to send it out into the world. From the art to the music, I’m super stoked about everything in it!
I’ll be doing promotion and PR outreach for the demo in the coming weeks, including hopefully showcasing it at PlayNYC this year.
In the meantime, thanks to everyone who collaborated with me on this project:
