Hello Chosen Ones,

The demo is out. You know what to do.
Play it. Break it. Review it. (Preferably in that order.)

You can drop your feedback in the discussion section, or jump into our Discord [discord.gg]to talk to us directly. We read everything. Yes, even that comment. Especially that one.

Our last devlog was back in early January, so here’s a quick (not-so-quick) recap of what we’ve been cooking since then for both the demo and the main game. Some of these you’ll see right away. Others… you’ll have to wait for the full release. Patience, Chosen One.

We’ve added two new biomes as part of Act 2:

• The Wicked Forest

• The Crystal Lands

No spoilers, but let’s just say resistances are no longer optional if you want to survive with dignity.

There’s also a new boss in the space: The Chosen One (yes, we went there), and an illusionist witch lurking in the Wicked Forest: Madame B.

These fights are tricky, a bit mean, and extremely fun. We suffered while making them. Now it’s your turn.

Tier 3 and 4 techs are now available in these biomes, along with new weapons and special items. But don’t get too comfortable, monsters come with new abilities that will force you to rethink your tactics.

We’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time improving combat in Good Heavens! and it shows.

• Reworked almost all combat animations

• Rebalanced and redesigned most weapon abilities

• Added new abilities to spice things up

Heavy weapons were feeling a bit… sad. So we fixed that.

The hammer now has a leap attack with massive knockback and stun plus some much-needed mobility. It’s as satisfying as it sounds.

We’ve also overhauled hitbox interactions. Combat is now more precise, more responsive, and more rewarding. When you hit something, you feel it. When something hits you… you also feel it. Sorry.

Good news: 100% controller support is now in.

We’ve added virtual keyboards and a virtual mouse for the tricky UI parts. Sit back, relax, and blame your controller instead of us.

We’ve expanded quest variety with:

• Escort missions

• Rescue quests

• Additional side quest types

You’ll also stumble upon many side stories while exploring. Writing them was a blast—hopefully playing them is too.

No more “random hero #47”.

You now get a proper character builder at the start, with plenty of fun options to choose from.

On top of that, you can craft or buy various base customization items to make your home truly yours—or at least impress your co-op friends.

We’ve made your life easier (you’re welcome):

• Added fog of war to improve exploration

• New map markers

• Ability to pin players and quest areas

• Improved tracking systems

There’s still more coming for the map and minimap but we’re getting there.

We’re adding short cinematics similar to the intro for Act transitions and the ending.

They help set the tone and recap events perfect for those who don’t read quest text. (We see you.)

We’ll continue pushing content in the coming months.

Next up:

• City boons: extensions of your tech trees

  • Different faction/culture combos will give different bonuses

  • Choosing the right city will matter more for your build

We’re also working on:

• Steam Deck support

• Mac support

Both are long overdue, we know.

That’s it for now.

Play the demo. Break things. Tell us what you think. We’re listening and we need your feedback more than ever.

See you in-game,
The Good Heavens! Team
