  Special Thanks + Announcement

  A Thank you to those who've been with me from the start!I want to start off by thanking everyone who has helped me throughout development of the game. Heaven's Glaive has gone through many iterations to get to where it is now, and just like the game, I've grown alongside it.A Thank you to those who've joined the start of our journey!I also want to thank everyone that's tried out the demo, dropped a Wishlist, or followed @Heavens_glaive on various social media!

I do aim on getting the game in players' hands as soon as possible. Be it a beta of some sort or early access.I'll have more info on this as we get closer to fall.That just about wraps it up for this post....Speaking of fall actually, that reminds me.I'd like to Introduce a new upcoming Region:The GreatwoodsA region of the island filled with warm colors, falling leaves, and strong winds.
