It's been 1,390 days since I first wrote a note in my Obsidian vault on a sleepless night in January of 2022, when I saw, in that almost-dream state, the layout of a playing card game and rapidly came up with rules that determine how units attack each other, how their armor works, and how turn order can be determined. And that game is now available for you to play, with a whole lot more features and a grooving soundtrack.

If you beat the demo...

I have a secret to share if you beat the demo and don't wish to replay the tutorials, allowing you to get right to grinding shards to invade the Aetheryx Lair! But if you wish to find out, either join our Discord to ask, message @goofysocksgames on X, or make a post in the Steam Discussion board to ask us how to do the tutorial skip.

Other fun things:

• To celebrate the launch of the game, I did a quick stream of three games that influenced NHF!: Final Fantasy I, DUNGEON ENCOUNTERS, and Magic the Gathering. You can watch it here if you want to hear some interesting tidbits on how these games influenced NHF

• I have been and will be streaming NHF! on my Twitch channel in the coming weeks, including hunting down all of the game's achievements! My current plan is to stream by myself on Tuesday evenings and then on Thursdays with @home from the NHF! Discord.

• In the Discord, I shared some of my musings on possible development directions of the game post launch, depending on the levels of interest I see. There may be extra, multiplayer-only battle rules that I may add, or if I'm really ambitious, additional bonus campaign modes!

Thank you for reading, have fun with the game, keep in touch!
