It’s been a wonderful two months since we shared our decision to launch Sword of Convallaria on all major platforms, and we’re overwhelmed by the amazing support from the Steam community and tactical RPG lovers around the world. We went through several rounds of closed betas, sat down with Famitsu and chatted with Yasumi Matsuno, and brought a playable PC demo to Tokyo Game Show 2023.
What to expect in the next Spring
While the feedback we've received so far has been incredibly encouraging, there is still a substantial amount of work to be done before we can bring Sword of Convallaria to a global audience. We will concentrate on enhancing gameplay mechanics, optimizing performance, and refining the overall gaming experience as we aim for a release in the upcoming spring. Here's a more detailed look of what we'll be focusing on during this extended development period:
- Enhanced PC experience: refining the user interface for PC, optimizing gameplay controls, and adding controller support, etc.
- Localization excellence: rectifying improper translations and completing full-game localization for all supported languages to make for an accessible and enjoyable player experience.
- Optimizing the live service plan: We will work on optimizing the structure for the game, which will enable us to provide a consistent flow of fresh content after the game's initial release.
- And more!
