Dawn of the New Hour's page is currently under construction.

Currently, all screenshots of the previous version have been removed due to the graphical changes made in this upcoming update.

This is the first page that will be undergoing maintenance. Itchio and RPGMaker will also undergo maintenance soon.

The upcoming version will be 1.9.5, with a 1.9.6 coming out shortly after to fix any bugs and glitches that might occur, as well as tweak shading/lighting in miscellaneous areas.

1.9.6 will be the final demo update. That being said, this is NOT the last time you'll see the game before full release. Instead, I am happy to announce we will be unlocking a chunk of the game to the public in the format of an Early Access version of the game. Yes, that's right. EARLY. ACCESS.

With the story's writing hastening over the course of this year, it might be safe to announce a date soon. Until then, we will be working on the Early Access version after 1.9.6's update. Information on Early Access will be released as we get closer to the planned timeframe of version release.

Within the next few days, the demo will be update alongside a trailer showcasing the graphical update of some areas, bits of the story throughout the game, never-before-seen locations, and more. We hope you join us in the release of 1.9.5 as well as the trailer.

Whether you're coming across this project for the first time or you've been with me since I first started experimenting with game development all those years ago, whether you're into RPGs or pixel games, or if you're someone casually browsing this genre in the indie field, thank you for taking the time to join me through any part of this experience.

As I've said before, there's an ever-expanding huge story that I've always wanted to tell, one that originally started its foundations all the way back in 2009 as a short story/writing exercise. For the past five years, I've been working at that story in the form of a game...one of which will soon finally see a true light of day.

As a game developer, as an artist, as an inspired amateur musician, as a gamer, as a streamer, as a retail worker, as a family member, as a friend...thank you. Without you all, this story might never have gotten the chance to grow and become something more.
