First, we want to thank you for all your support during the launch of Vigil: The Longest Night. It’s been an incredible experience for Glass Heart Games and our publisher, Another Indie!

We’ve received encouragement and support from around the globe, but we have also received many bug reports and players facing issues, especially on Nintendo Switch. We have spent the weekend talking with players and the community and are working to fix these issues as quickly as possible. This was our first game, so we are learning a lot and thanks for bearing with us! We are now going to go into more detail on specific issues:


Issues including Placebo quest’s achievement not triggering, items not working correctly, unclear quest guidance, controller issues, and certain skills being too hard to activate will be fixed in the next update. The game’s technical structure means that certain modifications sometimes create other issues, meaning that both our internal and our Publishers QA team need to do a thorough test before the game goes live.


On another note, we’ve discovered that some of our English text hasn’t uploaded correctly, meaning that some item descriptions are unpolished (we are not English speakers), we are going to upload fixes ASAP.


We will keep you updated here and on Steam as we go forward.

Finally, we must thank all you guys again, Glass Heart Games will keep polishing “Vigil: The Longest Night and we can’t wait to share more news with you in the future.

The design for the Brood Mother, as with most of our creations, came from the brilliant (possibly deranged) mind of our lead artist and Co-Founder Lin Li/Kevin who wanted to create something deeply disturbing for the game’s first major boss.

“Brood Mother is a real nightmare, I wanted to make something that was immediately shocking, but which fit into the story and the world.” Along with Co-Founder Joyce Chen, they brainstormed a truly appalling creature made up of distended human body parts along with an insectile abdomen. She has malformed insectile wings, dozens of eyes, and a scream of inhuman fury and pain. She’s an absolute nightmare. Originally, she was supposed to be a fusion of moth and human, but after experimentation, Lin Li decided to use the common fly for his beastly creation, here’s an early image of the moth version for comparison.



But perhaps the most gruesome thing isn’t the Brood Mother, it’s her children. You read that right, her CHILDREN! Throughout the fight the Brood Mother will give birth to half human, half larvae children that will quick overwhelm you unless they are dealt with. As you can imagine, the effect is completely horrifying!



Horror is always based in reality and Brood Mother’s ability to give birth makes one question other elements of her backstory as well as the nature of pregnancy and motherhood in a heavily religious, medieval society. “We wanted the Brood Mother to be terrifying on every level. The more you think about it, the worse it gets” Lin Li told me!

We will have more information for you soon!

Yours,

Glassheart and Another Indie.

Maye Town is an independent town to the East of the Empire. Formally a part of the Diqbushire and an important site in the history of this land. Many children can tell you of the stories of the Glorious Guard and brave battles and heroic resolve.
But now is not the time for history. Since the Long Night began all those years ago, Maye Town has been a bastion of civilization in an increasingly wild land. The city is home to many industries, eager to cater to locals and weary travelers alike.

The General Store is brimming with local produce! Delicious potions, excellent equipment, as well as local curios.

The Blacksmith, sturdy and strong, waits to improve the weapons of would be adventurers and resilient locals.

The Local Bar is the center of small-town life! Here you can swap stories, share beer, and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of Maye!

The Church is of course an important place for the devout members of the community. The beautiful Bruna and her wonderful Mother Tangerine can often be found spreading the joy of the Shimmer Goddess in these hallowed halls!

The Library is perhaps one of the most surprising finds in this beautiful town. A wonderful collection of ancient tomes brimming with history and fiction. The Librarian himself is happy to help you find books to your taste!
