With the money we will be able to - Get new backgrounds - Get fullbody sprite - Create a romance for the Master of Murmurs ...and other surprises ~ Initially, I really wanted to pay everything by myself, but I can’t do it anymore because lifeTM happened. So instead, I decided to see it as a chance. A chance to do all the extra polishing stuff I couldn’t afford and now I am super hype about it! We made a survey to help us prepared the best campaign we can! (For example, we will probably only have 2 physical rewards and we want to prioritize the one YOU want.) It takes 5 mins to fill and as a thanks you will get a chance to win an early access game key for Imperial Grace! TAKE THE SURVEY You can also subscribe to our pre-lunch page to boost the algorithm and not miss the early bird rewards discounts. FOLLOW OUR PRELUNCH PAGE Thank you everyone for your support so far, it's truly heartwarming 2022 wrap upDec 24, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! It’s been a rough end of year. Really rough, but some progress has been made! We are now at 148 700 words for the script only, 82% of the scenes are considered written and are awaiting proofreading. We also begin the programming, not the sprite part, but all the “logical part”, it involves a tooooons of variable since the game rely heavily on his choices and a lot of them requires to keep track on the long run. It’s a very important step, because we need to have a good global vision to make sure the game isn’t too hard or too easy. So yeah, a lot of sexy spreadsheet this month! Considering the progress, I am fairly confident the french version of the game will be done before the end of 2023, however, translation take a lot of time, especially since we have to wait for the french version to be perfect before starting the translation of a scene. Anyway, those considerations might delay the release at 2024 (especially since I worked too hard on the game to release Imperial Grace in November-December where there is a shit ton of AAA games to take all the visibility). I have a big announcement to make in January so stay tuned! As always, thank you for your patience and support, I hope you will have lovely winter celebrations with your friends or family and I wish everyone a happy new year! May 2023 be kinder than 2022. AyaelIf you liked both politics and flirting in Game of Thrones, here's your visual novelDec 11, 2022 - PC GamerWas your favorite bit of Game of Thrones the parts with the flirting and political intrigue? Preferably both at the same time? Was it even better when combined with the harsh realities of medieval politics?.. Read more.Demo patch noteMar 19, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsA new build for the demo is available. Changes and additions: - Added CG (coronation scene) - Simplification and rewording of warning messages in the introduction and tutorial (many people didn't know what Renpy was so it was very confusing for them) - Fixed several typos and spelling mistakes. I hope I didn't forget any of them (this time I learned my lesson and when someone points one out I'll write it down in a file instead of trying to remember where it was pointed out to me >. Q&A live streamMar 8, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! For the last stream of the women's day sale thursday 10th, I will answer your questions about the game and my work processs in live! So don't hesitate to join and participate. Women's day demo streamMar 7, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, our first stream will start soon! I will stream Imperial Grace demo! My boyfriend will be here too to help me voice the game, it will be fun Steam page update and international women's weekMar 4, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, we are pleased to announce that we will participate in the Women's Day Steam Event that will take place from the 7th to the 11th March! We'll have a live stream with a Q&A (if you have any ideas or special wishes, don't hesitate to share them. Otherwise, I’ll just have to indulge in my passion for powerpoints and my endless ability to say how much I love Imperial Grace and how great I think it is) as well as a demo let's-play by the incredible ReaperBabe. In honor of the women's week, there will also be several surprise on the social media! In honor of this event, the Steam page is getting a makeover! Since its creation, we've had some new assets made, such as CGs, and it seemed important to update the content to reflect these changes. We've also added a link to our newsletter directly on the Steam page, since it's *the* place to get exclusive content about the game. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/40903042/5d480870447d58de4559b7e31b383981c30870d2.gif (The third CG, which doesn't appear on the main page but deserves to be featured, too!) Also, we completely rewrote the "adult content" part. We’ve always wanted to be as accurate as possible so as to protect players, but we also realized that it gave the wrong idea to many players, because people tend to always imagine the worst. That's why we chose to put a more general message on the Steam page, and to add a separate document that is more detailed but contains spoilers. Everyone can choose to read through them or ignore them, depending on how sensitive they are to the topics discussed. Finally, we created an FAQ to answer reccurent player questions. It will be expanded as we go along. Thanks again to everyone for your support! Ayael2021 wrap-upDec 12, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsOkay, it might be a bit early for a 2021 wrap-up but I am soon entering the chrismas-holiday-family hell, and I don't know when or if I will be available later. So first, I am sorry but, we are behind schedule. Believe me, it’s even more painful for me, because I really want to get things done, but life happened for various members of the team including me, and it can’t be helped. I don’t want to set up a new tentative release date, because then I will just have to watch it crumble in front of my eyes again, I can just say it won’t be in 2022. Our accomplishments this year: - Releasing a demo !!! - Creating our steam page ; It was… something. Hopefully we had some help from our publisher Abiding Bridge, I can’t imagine how people deal with it alone. - Opening our discord - Writting 60 308 words for the main story - Finishing all sprites needed for the game ; 11 characters with 10+ expression, and a couple of sprites for nameless NPC ! - Finishing the first 3 CG of the game ; the graphist really outdone herself there, they are all so gorgeous. - Improvement of the outline ; I really had to scope knife this, I am really satisfied now, I feel like I have cut out all the boring stuff. - Creating 624 tweets ; I don’t have the numbers for tumblr, but I still wanted to include this here, because marketing is actually very time consuming, and unfortunately it matters too in the production of the game.... What is planned for 2022: - Reveal of the two last side characters of the game. - Finishing the main writing of the story, I expect ~100 000 more words - A couple more CG - Completing proofreading and translation of chapter 2 to 5. - A little update on the demo ~ Also, I decided, I wanted the newsletter to be a cozy place for people who like Imperial Grace. I realized recently, it’s the only place nobody can take away from me so I want to cherish it more. Starting January, people in the newsletter will receive one mail per month, with little gifts, articles about the game (about the lore, the characters, behind the scenes…) or devlogs (I am thinking to do a devlog every 3 month, since I actually don’t like to write them because they take a lot of time...). Some stuff will be exclusive, other just a couple of month early access, I don’t know yet. All of this is kinda experimental, so don’t hesitate to give me feedback on things you liked or didn’t liked. If you haven’t join it yet, you can subscribe here. Finally, I have a lot of marketing plans, like revamping a bit the itchio/steam page, doing something cool for #WomensHistoryMonth and keeping posting nice screenshot on twitter/tumblr ! I wish everyone a very happy holiday season, may 2022 be favorable to you!Demo releaseAug 4, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone, we are glad to announce that our demo is up!
