- Progress Update x3 (Gore & Gunplay) - Memory Optimizations - 10 September 2026
Hey everybody! Sorry for the radio silence on progress updates recently. I've been swamped with a multitude of personal matters, as well as really finishing and polishing this update. (Gore & Gunplay) Unfortunately..or fortunately, as you create in an engine, you learn more about its capabilities and proper level design and game design standards that should be adhered to when creating. This leads me to the biggest piece of news ; several levels are having entirely new reworks! M1, M2, M3, and M6 in the Main Story are the worst contenders when it comes to "Old & Crap" And given the new Ai systems for the enemies, I'd say they're all due for a re-design for flow and memory optimizations. The old maps were cluttered, huge, and didn't have a flow that really stuck, personally. Now you may be asking ; "What does this mean?" Unfortunately....it means this update will probably take even longer…
- Progress Update x2 (Gore & Gunplay) - Important Information! - 11 July 2026
Hello everyone, I want to give an update on the state of the new update for Harbinger, lovingly named "Gore & Gunplay" First up, before I give a small Show and tell, some important information! The update is not cancelled. "Yay! Woohoo! Let's Go!" The update IS being delayed! "Awwwhhh...." I'm currently in the process of moving houses, so I'm not really able to work on it as much as I'd like to, Also considering I'm completely re-writing and restructuring most of the enemy ai from scratch, I'd also like to ensure they don't release dumber than a sack of bricks. I'm also tuning every gun to have a more unique feel to them, including the FD-79, or as the Main Story puts it ... "What the f*%&! is this?!" There's now a slight overheating/locking mechanic, due to the weapon's experimental nature, the coolant systems need to be engaged manually, as it will randomly lock up upon firing due to…
- Gore and Gunplay Progress Report - 26 May 2026
Hello everyone! A progress report today, as this next update is taking some time to finish up. I would like to start with mentioning achievements!I may, or may not have accidentally listed them as available before they can actually be earned.I would like to elaborate on this mistake ;They are planned, but they are not the main focus at the moment. This next update, as the name implies, is almost entirely focused on gun-play and enemy dismemberment. I will definitely incorporate achievements in their own exclusive update later down the line.Onto some of the main goals for Gore & Gunplay :Goal 1 : Improve enemy logic and reactionsMy main focus are on the most prominent enemies in Harbinger to make them more interesting to fight. Braindead Type A and B, Braindead Agents, and all Gun Cultists will have a new Gore and Stun system I've built from the ground up.Including better hit detection,…
- Help Me Improve Harbinger! x3 - 11 May 2026
Hello everyone! I'm currently working on the next update, which will focus on improving gun-play and enemy responses. While I don't have a time-frame at the moment and it's a bit early to present anything, I can happily say that progress is moving forward well! Enemies will have a much more dynamic feel. As always, I'll sprinkle in some aesthetic changes. I'd also like to add that these new Ai interactions and changes will pave the way for the new demo! In the mean time,If you have the time.. (and interest!) please fill out the form to help me understand what I could do to improve Harbinger - Legacy Edition. I look forward to everyone's feedback!

- HARBINGER - Legacy Edition Version 1.6 "Revamped Menus" Release! - 20 April 2026
Hello everyone! A smaller update here. I've heard various complaints about how the Game's menu UI is hard to really understand, as well as unorganized and messy. So I've decided to make a quick patch that overhauls the game's Pause and Main Menus to look better and be more cohesive. Here's a change-log of all the changes I've made to these UI's to help make them better. I've also made texture/scaling changes to NPC's and items. Pause Menu : Added a title that displays "GAME PAUSED" Renamed menu item "Return to Terror" to "Resume Game" Re-Organized menu items (Resume Game is at the top, Save Progress is above Load Progress, and finally, return to main menu is on the bottom.) Replaced the Blood Splatter background with a simple color gradient. All Menu buttons are on the side rather than smack-dab in the middle OLD PAUSE MENU AND NEW PAUSE MENU COMPARED. Main Menu : Moved all menu element…
- Help Me Improve Harbinger! x2 - 30 March 2026
Hello everyone! Recently, the new 1.5 update released, and with that in tow, I acknowledge that my work is far from done, and there's always improvements to be made. Harbinger may be "Released", and at a point that I'm comfortable to say it's not early access, but I'd be lying if I said I don't constantly think about what could be done next. So I've revamped the Google Form to ask more questions, and allow for a higher amount of feedback than before! If you have the time, (and interest!) please fill out the form to help me understand what I could do to improve Harbinger - Legacy Edition. I look forward to everyone's feedback! https://forms.gle/ntsQTmRYptD2PWVw7 Thank you all for your continued interest in my passion project!

Harbinger - Legacy Edition 1.5 --The Infestation Update, is out now!As promised, this update includes the new Harbinger Central Launcher, Infestation Mode, and huge QoL improvements and bug fixes across all game-modes. Scroll to the bottom for the complete changelog! But first, let's take a little look at the new launcher : IMPORTANT NOTE : You MAY have to verify integrity of game files to install the new redistributables 1.

Here, you can easily select Singleplayer or Multiplayer, Or even launch the Harbinger ini Editor! (This is your settings menu!) 2. Singleplayer When you click Singleplayer, you'll have an assortment of options. Main Story, The Extraction, and Infestation…
- Progress Report x3 - Finishing Touches - 24 February 2026
Hello everyone, a little bit of a delayed update for you. I'd like to start by simply saying ; the Infestation Update is coming soon. I have finished reworking the level logic for Infestation to be more unique and separate from the original variant inside of Instant Action, as well as designing the new locations and unlocking logic! With that being said, I am now implementing the finishing touches inside the new launcher. Primarily optimization with how it utilizes system memory, that way it's lightweight and serves as a stylized wrapper and REAL main menu for Harbinger. After this, there will be a short period for testing until full implementation into the main build. Once the update releases, I will of course go over every change in the change log, as well as a mini tour of the new launcher and new mode! Now this raises the next question ; "What comes after? Is this the final update?"…
- Progress Report x2 - Egg Counting - 5 January 2026
Hello everyone! I'd like to start this off with a humble (and very late) Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! I hope everyone's 2026 is kicking off strong. With that being said, I'd like to address some things regarding Harbinger! First off, yes, I am absolutely still working extremely hard on this new update! I've gone to deem this new update the "Infestation Update" This will usher in a new life into Harbinger - Legacy Edition that will revamp and alter its most glaring issues. The first one, as I've mentioned before, is the launcher. This new launcher made for Harbinger will have all available game content accessible through it. Meaning no more Steam launch options for accessing game modes. The second, while it's small, actually brings a lot of immersion into the play : Death. Originally, when you died, you'd get one scream and the camera would just move downwards. Now, you can hear y…
- Progress Report - 2 December 2025
Hey all! it's been a little over a month since the last update for HARBINGER - Legacy Edition, And the reason is because the next update I'm planning on doing is a pretty big one. I've been pretty silent, and I apologize for the lack of real progress reports regarding the game. Buutt...I plan on rectifying that here and now. Within the next week or so, I plan on releasing the next update for HARBINGER, so here's my plans for this update : 1. CENTRALIZED LAUNCHER. I've received numerous complaints about the impractical and downright clunky usage of the Steam launch options to start different game modes. And y'know what? I completely agree. So I've started working on building a fully centralized launcher for the game. Taking what I've learned from building the Settings application for the game, this new launcher will completely remove Steam launch options (Unless it's absolutely necessary…
