Hello, Scribes!
As promised, we’re back with a short and sweet update following Steam Next Fest. As you know, we recently announced that Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts surpassed 100,000 wishlists on Steam! 🎉 Thank you once again for your incredible support (pssst... thousands more joined over the weekend, and we’ve already hit the 108,000 mark. You guys are amazing!).
Here are a few key numbers that show just how great Next Fest was for us, all thanks to you:
Over 35,000 Steam users picked up the demo!
We hit a peak of almost 500 concurrent players during the festival!
176 Steam reviews have been submitted, with a 175 being positive and that’s a jaw-dropping 99.43% positive rating!
Scriptorium was in the top 2% of ALL Next Fest demos in terms of daily player count! That stat is honestly our favorite.
We might not be the biggest game out there, but we are certainly one of the most loved. For a team of devs who truly love what they do, this kind of support means the world. Thank you for making our work so meaningful!
Announcement: The Scriptorium Demo is here to stay!
Many of you asked what would happen to the demo after Next Fest. Would it be temporary, like the Playtest last summer? Before making a decision, we wanted to see how you’d react. Because your feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive, we’ve decided to leave the demo available!
That’s right - the demo is here to stay for the foreseeable future. If that ever changes, we’ll let you know well in advance, as we don't like unpleasant surprises. We’d love for you to keep playing and creating the incredible artwork you’ve been sharing on social media (we seriously love your creativity!) - so relax, grab a nice cup of coffee or tea, and return to your Scriptorium to create your next masterpiece (and yes, we know the demo asset limit is a pain, but just imagine how rewarding the full version is gonna be!).
Before we go, we want to show you a couple of artworks we thought are amazing - it's not possible to show you every beautiful one, as you made hundreds or thousands of them, but we are proud of you all!)
(kudos to authors of the below artworks: Nimrodel78, BeezKnees1, Lord Vess III, Eskilinha, Handie, Strigoi in Early 20’s - you guys rock!)
What’s next?
The dev team is currently hard at work on Scriptorium full release version. We are reading every bit of feedback from the demo, discussing it, and deciding how to make this the best medieval art game possible - one that will make you proud!
Thank you for your amazing support. We love you! ♥️
