Thank you! There's been some improvements since, and I've recruited an artist. I'd like to post some of our results of that pretty soon so look forward to it. We're polishing up some of the overworld now. :)

And thank you @errantsquam.heckingsne.cc for making the beautiful key art for PROUDHEART! Please follow him as well and commission him for your illustrations, he works lightning fast. :)

Hi, happy almost-end-of-summer! I've gotten my health under control and am back to work for a couple weeks.

There's no PROUDHEART blog today, but there WILL be one in another 2-3 weeks going over the last year of dev. Please look forward to it and some very cool stuff inside! Thx for waiting :)

No, sorry, but PROUDHEART won't be releasing for another several years! It takes a really long time to make an entire Temple Crawler, especially 2 of them simultaneously.

Hey my friends, there won't be a PROUDHEART update for a little bit due to ongoing illness. Hopefully all back to normal pretty soon; even this cannot stop me forever.

Good morning! This month there is a long checklist of feature-finished mechanics for Patrons: www.patreon.com/posts/proudh...

With the game UI approaching true-completeness it's time to move on to more level design and content! If you'd like to see these spoilers, throw a dollar my way.

Hopefully SE lets it die instead of puppets its body around for another arc afterward.

My only fear is that a few years is not nearly enough time to finish the Lost Masters Saga in a satisfying way. Dark Seeker took 9.5 games and 2 gachas, and had fewer characters!

I followed like 5 people and had even fewer myself but it was easily the best replacement and I'm not sure why so few people realized that. You could actually write on it.

I've been making PROUDHEART, the successor and resurrection of classical, linear Zelda! Since it is truly necessary.

The key is a full top-down Overworld that comes with tons of Underworld sub-levels, including of course a series of real dungeons full of keys and dungeon items.
