So about the Steam Deck... We have been hard at work ensuring the game will be compatible with Steam's official handheld, so you can grow plants and cast spells on the go.

Welcome to the sixth monthly (ish) developer log for Greenhearth Necromancer!Our monthly devlogs will highlight different aspects of Greenhearth and will share insights into its development. As a semi-idle magical gardening sim, there will be much to share as development continues! This month’s entry is a Q&A with our death doula consultant, Roshelle.Death is part of the DNA of Greenhearth Necromancer, from resurrecting plants into a transformed state, to processing the grief of your departed greenwitch Grandmother. Every action, spell, and bit of plant care that you do all brush up against the overwhelming permanence of death. It lives in your building in the form of Laurel, a death doula. To ensure we accurately depicted Laurel's role and to get an outside perspective on our story and characters, we turned to a real-life death doula.Death is not the end, but a transformation…How did you contribute to Greenhearth Necromancer?I was a narrative consultant for the game and came in for a bit to review and provide feedback on narrative elements related to the accuracy and realism of how certain deathcare professionals, particularly death doulas, are depicted. I also looked at how general topics about death, like bereavement, coping mechanisms, and grief frameworks, are incorporated into the narrative with care for the player and with a trauma-informed lens foremost. I also provided a cultural lecture for the narrative design team on a specific deathcare profession, the death doula or end-of-life doula, so they could learn more about the role ...
