Hey all! Melos from the team here. We made a recent devlog post- if you're interested, just search "Melos Han-Tani Substack" on google and read the latest post!
But I'll summarize a bit here.
So, we are on good progress for releasing this year - likely still November or December!
We may only be releasing in English first with a localized version coming in following months, although at a minimum we are trying to have Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese available at launch. Our remaining target languages (Russian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish) will be done if we make enough money.
One big milestone for us is finishing the overworlds. Angeline Era has a lot of levels - between 8-20 hours for a single playthrough depending how thorough you are. Here's a preview of one of the first overworld areas:
Outside of that, I finished the music, a bunch of SFX, and some test playthroughs of the game for design/bugtesting/narrative reasons. Marina on the art side has finished a bunch of new area, NPC, and enemy art, as well as some final writing for the game. We're hoping the game has a unique approach to story and lore! You can enjoy the main storyline, or explore all the areas and imagine for yourself what the backstories to the world are.
Other than that, we hit 39,000 total wishlists! Honestly I couldn't ask for much more. I'm just hoping we can have a smooth rest of development for now as I go into some closed Beta testing.
Please look forward to Angeline Era later this year! We'll also be keeping the demo up through release - which will retain its multiple translations.
Anyways, if you'd like to support us till release, consider sharing a trailer with your friend groups.
