Prayer of the Faithless is Released

At long last. After a brutal 7 year roller coaster of development hell, Prayer of the Faithless is finally released to the public in full on Steam and Itch.io.

Buy here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1878350/Prayer_of_the_Faithless/

Or on Itch.io: https://vermillionnova.itch.io/prayer-of-the-faithless

As I mentioned in the last blog, the full price for the game will be $9.99. However, this first week will have a 10% launch discount to show my appreciation for all the support you've given me all these years.

I've uploaded an updated demo here on RMN as well as itch and Steam. The Steam demo will come after a few days because I goofed and didn't see that Steam demos have their own vetting period. This new demo will be the same demo that has already been up (the prologue of the full game) but there are bug fixes and extra polish to this new one, such as updated guide entries explaining a few more mechanics. If you only played the previous demo, you can still transfer your save files into the full game and these new changes should (as far as my testing showed) still pick up.

I hope you enjoy the game. This story is a very personal one to me, and I'm happy to finally have it out there for people to see.

And now, after 7 long years, I can finally get some rest...

FRICK YEAH OMG YEAH RED NOVA. You frickin' legend. Love you <3

I will play this as soon as I've finished my game jam game for riggy2k3's game jam. Well, I've also almost finished "Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass" so I'll see if I finish that first.

But either way, super super happy for you Red_Nova, love ya lots. Soul Sunder is still probably in the top 10 of RPG Maker games for me (even after having played a LOT of 'em) and I am so hyped for this and glad.

All my friends are making their dream games *sheds single tear* <3

Of course, Cash! Take your time and get to it when you can. That'll give me a chance to calm my nerves as well!

Thanks so much for the kind words, and I'm honored Soul Sunder is still high on your list! I hope PotF meets your expectations!

Don't think you can just waltz in here and post without getting your share of congratulations, too! If it weren't for you and your kind offer for drawing the enemy battlers, there is no way I would have been able to make the game the way it turned out. Thank you so much for all your help and support from the very start of this project!

Hmm... As a beta-tester, gotta at least check if things have changed...

Only question is itch.io, or Steam... Well, do I even need a Steam Key? Gonna go scratch that itch! ... In three days, so I can stack my purchases nicely in my bills and stuff.
well, steam seems to be charging 30%, itch.io 10% so i got it on itch.
You deserve all the congratulations! Finishing a game is no small task! I can't wait to start playing it soon - -I was just looking for something to play. Enjoy your rest!
I'm super proud of you! Congrats on getting this bad boy out the door. It's definitely been a work of love, and it was a pleasure playtesting it. I hope that it gets all the love that it deserves.

Speaking of, I've noticed that the game's visibility on Steam is -very- low because it's excluded in search results and many other places because it's been labelled with Steam's mature content warning. If I search for the game, it doesn't come up at all until I search through the results:



I know people usually use Steam's Mature Content setting for things like porn and hentai. Having played the game, I don't really recall much in it that isn't much worse than half of the other gory games on Steam already. Maybe this is something you should consider switching off and just put content warnings elsewhere? I just don't want to see it tank because people couldn't find or see it!

Thanks for the suggestion, Sgt. After talking about it with you and others, I think it would be better to remove the mature content warning to help with the visibility. So the mature content flag is off, and the description of the game has been updated to add more specific content warning than what was shown by the content warning section.
