Thank you so much for asking! We tested our beta demo with many amazing players this January/February. The revised demo, along with some *very* fun extras, will be available this summer, along with our Kickstarter campaign!

This is such fantastic news. I'm so excited to see more of these lovable characters, especially Cameron!

As always, you do such amazing work. I'm always in awe of your word count! I also absolutely think you should release only when you feel ready to.

Wishing you lots of love and luck with health issues as well... I know how stressful those are. <3 

Thank you so much for your lovely words! Emily and I are so happy to know you enjoyed the demo and that you're excited about many things to come. There are so many great otome isekai novels that we just can't resist perhaps adding to that number... ;)

Thank you so much - we are over the moon to have reached 5k wishlists on Steam so quickly! <3

This is horrific and I love the twist at the end. So chilling!

This was wonderfully terrifying!

Ooooh, that's amazing! Feel free to let me know when you'd like me to play-test... I'll make it happen for you. :D

Congratulations! This looks fantastic and if I can scrape up the time, I'd love to playtest. You're doing an amazing job and the animations look great!

Thank you very much for your interest in our game! Our villainess main character, Jane, actually has a fixed background and racial identity (she is of mixed Asian and white background) that is relevant to the plot later in the game. You will have other ways to customize your identity as part of the game however! ;)

Thank you so much! We're so excited to share more in our upcoming newsletter. Those Valentine's Day cards were a lot of fun to create. :D

I am so excited to share more with you soon once our public demo is out. Thanks for the lovely comment!

Congratulations! I am SO excited to romance Cenric. He is just too adorable for words!

I hope you don't mind me sharing the news with r/otomeisekai too - I know a TON of villainess isekai fans there will be excited to play this game. Hoping you get lots of new fans from there. <3 

I'm so sorry but our game is not available on the phone. We are excited to have you playtest our Windows, Mac, or Linux builds though. Feel free to contact me at contact @ bestlaidplans . net if you need further support!

Hi Hellcatinnc. I'm so sorry to hear that! I believe the problem is that you did not confirm that you are a part of the mailing list - which may be because the confirmation email got stuck in your email's spam box or in your social/promotions/other folder (if you have a gmail account).

Can you please send me a short email over at contact @ bestlaidplans . net (no spaces)? I will onboard you and send you the data for the beta demo. Again, I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this!

Your team has achieved so much given all the barriers you have encountered! Game development is a marathon, not a sprint, and you have made amazing progress in terms of your art, your programming, and your writing. I can't wait to play the demo... but of course, please take your time. What matters most is that you produce work you're proud of, not work you feel rushed to do. <3 

Good luck and thanks so much for the mention - it is so sweet of you! <3 

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! Can't wait to test with you! <3 

Thank you so much for your support! We are so excited to test with you and others in just a few more days. <3 

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your support and hope you will enjoy both the demo AND the full game!

I'm so thrilled to know that you're intrigued by our game and I really hope you will test the beta with us! We really had a lot of fun putting together an otome isekai story where the one big "cheat" a protag has - their knowledge of the story - is yanked away from them. 

Trust me when I say the game is going to be a WILD RIDE with a lot of fun reveals by the end of every route... and the bad endings will be pretty amazing. They're all like mini-movies in and of themselves and all worth exploring!

We very much wanted to be a kind of playable villainess manwha/manga with MANY twists that come from being in an interactive medium where YOU get to decide the villainesses fate. I really hope you enjoy our beta demo! <3 

Thank you so much - we are so grateful for your support. Every wishlist supports our game by making it more likely to be shown to other players on Steam itself, which is HUGE to a tiny little indie team like ours! <3 

Oh, and here is Save the Villainess' brand new Steam page. Thank you for asking about it! We would truly appreciate a wishlist! 💖

Oh, and here is Save the Villainess' brand new Steam page. Thank you for asking about it! We would truly appreciate a wishlist! 💖

We are so grateful for your help! Every wishlist on Steam and follow on Itch helps us find more players for our beloved game. <3 

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your support! <3 

>>We're three projects in and I have not been close on even one of these things. I always overestimate my ability to...write...less?

That is genuinely incredibly hilarious. That said, congratulations on your amazing progress! I'm so excited to see more of this game when it's time!

I'm so glad you think so. Can't wait to test with you at the end of this month!

Thank you so much! Our actual game looks much like this - in fact, all the animated sprites in the trailer come right from in-game footage. We hope you will test with us this January! :)

I'm so glad you finally get to play an isekai manwha, hahaha. We absolutely wanted Save the Villainess to look and feel like a playable manwha so that's a compliment of the highest order!

And yes, we are working on our Steam page right now! Steam will take some time to review it but we are excited to hopefully launch it later this month. We even have some special new surprises arriving with the Steam page...

We are so glad to hear how excited you are for this game. We hope you will playtest with us this January - we promise that there are LOTS of exciting secrets in our demo to uncover. ;)

I'm so glad you're excited about our game - it is sooo pretty when you play it! Gifs honestly do not do the animations justice. XD 

Yes, we are working to get our page on Steam up! I am excited to link you to it when it goes live. We're working on a brand new trailer and gifs but it will go up soon...

Thank you so much! I truly hope that you enjoy solving the many mysteries of our game. We have MANY fun riddles and puzzles waiting for you, ESPECIALLY if you turn on Detective Mode and disable all the in-game help!

I am super excited for the demo in 2024. I'm here for Andrew first and foremost... who are you all interested in? :)

Thank you so much! We are so excited to see what you think of our beta demo. :D

Damn, you are making AMAZING progress as always. I'm in awe of how much you write at such a remarkable pace!

The new backgrounds look lovely too - that garden looks incredibly lush and beautiful. I can't wait to see what it will be used for!

I'm so happy that you're able to use Feniks' great recolor tool to ease the burden of coloring the many variations on Wils. So excited to see what the upcoming CGIs with Wils looks like. <3

Very excited to see more of your amazing game. It has such a great concept and gorgeous art. Looking forward to more! <3 

Thank you so much! We are truly excited to hear what you think of the beta demo when it comes out this January. :)

Thank you so much for the HYPE! We are so excited to share the game with you... and see you react to all the surprises we are CAREFULLY keeping from public view. ;)
