• We're not dead! - 3 March 2026

  First Things FirstI am here to confirm Age of Hell development is still happening. Work is actively being done. The completion of the first episode edges closer. Yes 2025 was ... less than productive, but the last couple of months have seen this creaking behemoth gather momentum and I'm well and truly back to work on the game. But What Happened?The long and short of it is that I burned out pretty hard last year. There are reasons for that, mostly revolving around my day job (construction site manager), but as my 4th from social studies teacher always said, a reason is not an excuse. It is however, what happened. A combination of an extreme commute and getting sick quite a few times (2025 bad year for the flu here in NZ) led to having very little energy for dev work. Not ideal obviously, but it is what it is. Life intrudes sometimes and you just gotta roll with the punches.The Good Stuff…

• Big Demo Update - 27 December 2023

  Update 1.1 is out Greeting Hellions. This update has taken a little longer than originally thought but it's for a good reason. We done A LOT. Enemy and weapon balance, UI improvements, optimisations along side the usual host of small bug fixes and level tweaks, we've got it all baby. So let's get to it and share what we've been up to. Please note: Like all gzdoom games this update will brick old saves. There is a chance we might be able to improve this long standing issue in the future but for now Age of Hell suffers the same curse of this particular engine New Features We have now implemented our mutator system. These are set of optional gameplay changes that increase the challenge in interesting ways. Tired of only you getting upgrades? Well now your foes will updgrade with you. Need more risk in your diet? Now enemies can spawn with explode on death. The hordes of hell aren't hordey…

• Age of Hell demo Out Now - 24 November 2023

  Greetings Hellions, It is with great pleasure that we bring to you the new demo for Age of Hell. More than a year in the making, it is finally here. Literally 1000s of hours of work from multiple people, this is the TRUE Age of Hell experience. There's not much point listing all of the changes from the original demo because it's ... well, pretty much everything. The previous news post had the major ones so go back and have a read of that if you want to know more. Otherwise the best way to learn is by doing! So pick up thy hammer and lay waste to the hordes of hell. There will be a full credits list added in the next update, but this wouldn't be possible without the help of many people. Age of Hell is 100% a team effort and there is a tremendous amount under the hood here. Endless appreciation for everyone who has helped bring this to (hellish) life. Cheers, BB

• Dev blog #3 and demo release - 14 November 2023

  A New Demo Is Coming... In case you missed the announcement at Realms Deep this year, the brand new demo for Age of Hell is coming out in 2 weeks. The scheduled release date is November 24th, but we might need that weekend to do final polish so there's a chance it gets pushed back to the following Monday 27th. Definitely out before the end of November though! Testing is going well and we're well into the fine tuning stage. And because it has been a hot damn minute since a proper dev blog here's a bit of a list of what we've been working on ... New features - New menu UI We're in the process of completely replacing the default GZDoom menu with our own bespoke system. This is one of the things we might be doing last minute fixes on that'll hold up release (hard to play a game with a broken menu) but it's looking good. Not only does this help AoH feel unique, it also means we can tailor th…

• Dev blog #2 - 24 April 2023

  A wild dev blog appears! Definitely too long between drinks but here we are, and the good news is while things may have appeared quiet they have been anything but. As with everything in life things have been taking longer than expected, but much progress has been made and I'm here to tell you all about it. First up, the new demo map. The layout has now completely be rebuilt with the finishing touches being put on before I dive into setting up the new combat. There is now much more space to enjoy your surroundings as well as get to grips with the gameplay loop. Encounter pacing will have much more of a crescendo/breather feel to it with the level split up into 4 main chunks. The big upside having things split up like this is vastly improved performance. Frame rate has roughly doubled across the entire map which I'm sure people will be happy with. There will most likely be room for furthe…

• Dev Blog #1 - 3 November 2022

  Here is the first of what should be a regular series of dev blogs for Age of Hell. Today is about the plans for the upcoming demo overhaul. Incoming demo update The demo has been up on steam for a bit over a month now and and there's been lots of useful feedback. Thanks to everyone who took the time to play and provide feedback. The demo has actually been out (on itch) for over a year it's been good to get some fresh eyes on the game. So here's what is happening as a result. We've been working on a massive overhaul of the demo over the last few weeks but it is taking longer than expected (doesn't everything) so the the demo has been temporarily removed from Steam while we get this done. The demo is still be available on itch for people who want to try the current build. All going well we're hoping to get the new build out before the end of the year.

• Age of Hell at Realms Deep 2022 - 17 September 2022

  New Content Age of Hell is once again at Realms Deep this year and to celebrate we thought we'd release a big ol' update to the demo. A raft of tweaks and minor changes but the 2 big additions are - Crusader Gate secret arena. This is a taste of a feature that will be a central part of the main game. These hidden challenge encounters will be scattered throughout the game and conquering them will unlock special rewards. For now the demo just showcases the kind of combat to expect. Fair warning, these fights will be tough. The hordes of hell stand between you and victory. Slaughter awaits. - Your fight no longer ends with the large arena fight, something else waits in the shadows. Once you clean up the swarm of demons and destroy the Soul Forge ... the Warden of Hell stands before you. Hope you all enjoy it! This is all still pretty WIP so any feedback would be much appreciated. Cheers, BB
