Hello Fellow Villainesses and Villains!
This is Tanya and Emily, the co-developers of Save the Villainess. We wanted to give you our monthly update - as well as important news about our beta demo test!
We also want to remind you that our monthly company newsletter is going to go out on Thursday. It will contain Valentine’s treats such as a chance to vote on our game’s summary and the opportunity to receive a special Valentine’s Day present from your favorite Save the Villainess character. Please sign up to our mailing list for these goodies!
Firstly, we want to update you on the results of our beta demo test, which we held at the end of January. We had an incredible number of people play the beta demo – sometimes multiple times – and then give us some amazing feedback.
We are delighted by the feedback we have received, especially from playtesters who were willing to play our demo multiple times to unlock so many secrets of our game. On our beta-tester-only discord, some of our amazing beta-testers even did let’s-plays of our demo and created a community-based google document to track clues and secrets from the demo and from marketing materials. You can also read our beta-tester Dulcito’s lovely tumblr post about her experiences with our demo.
We’re thrilled to know that our players are working hard to solve the mysteries of our game… though we promise that there are many more secrets, surprises, and mysteries to come.
(Our villainess promise is that all the major mysteries of the demo will be solved by the end of the game. Want to know why apples seem to be the only available food in our murderous manor… or how all of Jane’s would-be suitors found her so quickly… or even why a certain fellow in a top-hat seems to follow Jane around? All will be revealed in due time!)
Ultimately, Save the Villainess is the story of one woman’s struggle to survive and smile in the face of dread and danger… and without your support, it would be impossible to tell this story in a fully animated world that contains dozens of secrets, mysteries, twists, and endings. Thanks to your help, we’re finding new ways to optimize our game and make it an unforgettable experience.
Please keep following us for more information and fun surprises to come!
We also wanted to take this time to wish you all a happy Valentine’s day - one complete with cards from all the characters of Save the Villainess. To see our characters’ video messages and cards, please take a look at this Youtube video compilation!
If you are on our mailing list, you will get the chance to request an extra special Valentine’s day message from your favorite character… so if you haven’t joined already, please do so today to receive our monthly newsletter on Thursday, 2/29! All our potential murderers and one confused villainess are waiting to share their Valentine’s wishes with you!
Thanks again for your support, dear friends on Steam / Itch.io. We truly appreciate your help in making Save the Villainess a game that you can lose yourself – and perhaps even your villainess’ life! – in. We look forward to sharing more news with you next month!
