    Alpha Desolation of the Heron

    Desolation of the Heron is a part time project of mine. The game name is out of context and more or less just random words put together. The game is a 2D randomly generated side-scroller adventure game and heavily inspired by Terraria and Minecraft. As of now, there isn't much of gameplay...
