I have no idea what you’re talking about @blumhousegames.com I’ve never taken a shady deal in my life 👀 But also Eyes of Hellfire is SO fun!!

We have a Steam page for our game! It's a mahjong-inspired deckbuilder with A LOT OF BIRDS! If you have a Steam account and hit the wishlist button - you will have my eternal gratitude 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

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.

Delaying the game 10 minutes because of Silksong

Love when devs share some of the behind-the-scenes progress of a project. Can't wait for folks to play Eyes of Hellfire later today! store.steampowered.com/app/1724030/...

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

ARGH! I can't believe that our Irish game #EyesofHellfire is going into Early Access NEXT WEEK! But what a thrill to reveal our EA Roadmap right now 😱 It all feels SO REAL. #gamedev #ireland

I think Slack purposely put the dumb AI button next to the close thread button so you are more likely to click it by mistake

Lovely article from Lex here, exploring Eyes of Hellfire’s roots. Pleasure to chat to you!

GMail put this in the spam folder. Even it know this is trash

You may know him of course as the incredible Davos from Game of Thrones but we know him as our Host. 🔥 And below, some behind-the-scenes footage of when we were recording with Liam - more to come!

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! #gameart #gamedev

fiiiiiiine. I guess I'll leave the house for once...

ARGHHHHHHH! JUST ANNOUNCED AT #PCgamingshow 🔥 We are thrilled to reveal that #EyesofHellfire will be published by BLUMHOUSE GAMES! It has been such a great journey with them so far, and we’re stoked to bring our gothic horror game to EARLY ACCESS this AUGUST!

I haven't played Blue Prince in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what is harder, the last puzzle I have to solve (I think), or trying to decipher my notes.

sign-ups close tomorrow. Don't miss your chance to tell me how broken of a game I made!

Join the guestlist today 👀 #ireland #irish #gamedev #eyesofhellfire

Play our thing

I'm completely and utterly stumped by the Gallery in Blue Prince. I happened upon one of the answers by chance and I still don't get it. I wrote a script to come up with plausible words and nothing is standing out. It's probably frustrating me more as it's one of the last few things I have to do.

Don't be like me. Don't be so desperate to make a room combo work that you exchange your coins for stars, without realising it was actually your permanent allowance. Then don't spend all those stars looking for a room that hadn't even been added to the pool at that point. #blueprince

My biggest gripe with Blue Prince is that the day ends as soon as you enter a room using your last step, when the contents of that room can save you. Trying not to think of all the rare items gone to waste because I miscounted by 1

It's 2:30am?! But it only just past 7pm, like... ten minutes ago? I guess Blue Prince is my new obsession
