New name, new website
Previously known as Amitania (which is the name of the continent within the game's world the majority of the storyline takes place in), I thought this was kinda hard to pronounce, remember and type correctly. Since that was an initial placeholder name for the game anyways, it became time a better name of the game has to be chosen.
Amberwing
The name "Amberwing" refers to a fairy tribe within the game, one of the primary pillars the story revolves around. This fairy tribe is responsible for tending the plants and managing the magic around the world. I can't give more information about this, since my intention is that the game's story can best be experienced by playing rather than me spoiling important details.
That being said, name decision is not final yet! If in the future, depending on various factors (such as story writing), a lovely name idea comes up, it's possible the game undergoes another name change.

New website
Prior to choosing the new name, I wanted to set up a new website. With a new website comes a domain registration, and with domain registration comes choosing a name and available domain. That's why I did it together with the name. I wrote this website entirely by myself with the help of the Laravel framework, so if any of you has tips it's more than welcome!
Please keep in mind that the website is in its infancy stage and I have to refine, add, and fix a lot. One major thing is the emailing system, which does not work perfectly yet as I have to jump through many hoops to make sure emails arrive and don't end up blocked or in spam boxes. I'm not yet experienced with this so please allow me some time to figure it all out.

Blogs
I yet have to decide whether I will migrate the blogs from the old website, or start out fresh since some time ago I restarted my game in the Godot engine anyways and the majority of old blogs are related to my old work in Unity. Since then, a lot of things have changed and different decisions have been made.
With this new name and website, I am more than happy to continue working on my game and present my work-in-progress through the blogs!
If you wish to stay up to date, please don't hesitate to register for an account here (but keep in mind my email issue)! Once the email thing has been fixed, I will give everyone the option to opt in or out of news.
Thank you for reading, and looking forward to sharing the updates!
