Angel Wings Dev Update IV: Story Preview and Closed Beta Testing (Oct 2020)
Hi all,
Since the day Angel Wings began development, we’ve focused on writing a compelling and engaging story to match the art and technical design we’ve shared in previous Dev Updates. After all, why play a game if there’s no adventure to be had?
In today’s Dev Update, we’ll be giving a sneak peek into some of what you can expect out of the Angel Wings gameplay experience.

In case you’re reading this Dev Update without having seen our Steam page, we’ll give you a moment to understand the story of Angel Wings thus far:
Upon answering a mysterious phone call, you awaken in an unfamiliar place filled with new faces… Through intricate relationships and thoughtful introspection, will you be able to unravel the reason you are here?
The premise is simple: You’ve woken up in New Elvis City, a sprawling metropolitan utopia with beautiful scenery, beautiful people, and warm weather year round.
The question is, how did you get here?
With dozens of memorable characters and hundreds of hand-drawn art pieces, we’ve done our best to bring the world to life. Perhaps you’ll stay a while, and explore what New Elvis has to offer?

When we sat down and started planning the plot for Angel Wings, our goal was simple: Create a unique experience that suits the player, and provides a rewarding gameplay experience for those who are true to themselves. To accomplish this, upon starting a new game, you will be presented with a choice of three cards.
This isn’t a decision to be taken lightly, as the card you choose will immediately impact the new life you’ll lead in New Elvis City. For example, a Hierophant character may find comfort in sociable chatter, while a Hermit character may stray towards quieter locales.

No matter which card you choose, you’ll experience the full depth of the Angel Wings story, with further choices to customize your gameplay experience. Thanks to a complex story system, no two players will experience the game the same way.
So sit back, relax, and play the game however you want - with enough luck and patience, you’ll be rewarded with one of our 20+ unique endings.

As you read this Dev Update, we've officially begun our final stretch of beta testing (yes, for real). Our qualified team of dedicated testers is helping us track down any remaining bugs or quirks in our code before our final release.
Generally my reaction upon finding bugs in the game
We hope you’ll enjoy the ride with us when Angel Wings releases this winter!
