Yes, progress are slow but we are in active dev! And thanks for wishlisting us on steam, it helps a lot <3

Hello, thank you so much for your kind words, I am currently assessing a new timeline for the release, it's true it's hard to get an idea as lifeTM often get in the way of deadlines. I will make an update (it's part of my resolution to communicate better in store and not just on KS) but honestly despite my best wishes I don't see the game finished in 2025 there is too much art and translation still missing. 

Hello, that's not in our plans for the moment, as it requires a lot of UI adjustment and most of all, the dreadful stores. It's really not well adjusted to our buy once and play as much as your want type of economic model and stores requires almost monthly updates which is a lot to deal with >.<

Thanks! let me know what you think of it ~

Hello yes I plan to add this, but it's more complex coding than it looks so I had to let it go for the moment. (Because increased text size means the text overflow at some point, so I need to figure out a safe fail for those moments, if possible automatic.)

Thank you so much for your support for so long, it's true the game truly step up visually since ouf first edition, I'm very proud and there is no harm in downloading it just to doll up the MC ahah

Hope the new demo fills your expectations <3

Thank you for your support! 

Hello, thank you so much for leaving this message, I'm so glad you enjoyed this game and I'm sure the Ukrainian translation team will also be thrilled to know someone enjoyed their work <3 

Thanks for answering me and for being practical about it <3

Hello, I have a question about the licence. "The Product is protected from extraction by the end user so that they may not access the Product on its own outside of your application. ", I make Renpy games, so I can technically protect the font (as in someone downloading the game can't have access to it), but let's be honest Renpy games are super easy to pirate. I feel like every game is possible to pirate in their own way, but I would like to double check if it's okay before I make the purchase.

Anyway, amazing work 

Oh well, i am sorry I couldn't be more useful back then but I am so glad it's fixed! 

Eheh, thanks for your support and patience! It's still in steady progress!

Hey there, I was so happy when I saw a new comment on Autumn Spirit, we really put our heart into it, so it's always nice to see someone appreciating it thanks for telling us <3

Hello, thanks for your kind words, unfortunately, there won't be any hair colour picks for the final release. Both for story reasons, but honestly mostly because our artist is too perfectionist, she can't just colour swap the thing and be done with it (like even for the skin colour, she made different facial features), she has to adjust the shade with each colour so it looks natural rince and repeat for all the hair variation (and there will be more in the final version!) and the skin colour, it was too much scope creep for us sorry. 

Thank you again for your kind words!

I am glad you found the system intuitive enough! If you feel overwhelmed by it during the full game, you will have an option to switch to unlimited resources. I believe the management part brings some extra challenges, but the point of the game is to be fun to everyone so it's perfectly valid to play it for the story only <3

Dang I hope so much that at least the whole team can get decently paid for all their hard work <3

Hello there, very glad you enjoyed our demo, Alexander's arm are waiting for you ~ 

More seriously thank you for your well wishes, Anna is resting and we are doing good progress with the new team, not fast enough at my taste, but I am very proud of all of us <3

Hello, it's not out yet, the release is planned this year, but I am not sure exactly when yet. If you want more info about the situation you can read our last KS update, it's a public one <3

Hey, I am so happy you liked our demo, and if you liked the customisation, you will be even happier with the full game since we will have some extra stuff eheh <3 

Happy new year ! 

I am sorry I can't help you more but I truly have no other idea for the moment >.<

Weird for the appdata, you checked your hidden files? But glad you could resolve it anyway! Wishing you a good replay <3

Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Let's try to fix this! 

- Check in your programs that you deleted it (if it's via steam it might still be there)

- Check in your computer if you deleted the folder entirely  (Renpy game can run with just the folder) 

- Renpy saves all the persistent datas in appdata, maybe delete them to have a really clean state, usually it's in there: C:/Users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/Ballads_at_midnight (or something like that)

It might be a hidden folder I don't remember.

I hope this steps will help!  

Thanks for your kind words! We are working hard to bring it to life! 

I am very happy you enjoyed it <3

Hello, the demo is 1-3h long depending on your reading speed and how many time you try it (there is some replayability already)

Thanks for your support! 

Hello, it was due this year, but unfortunately two of our team members had some health problems and we had some delays, I hope we can release it in spring this year. Thank you for your support and understanding <3

Thank you so much for your kind words, I am so happy you like it and I really hope you will like it even more when the game is out! 

Hello, our writer did one! You can check it there  https://wudgeous.itch.io/bam-extras <3

Thank you for those heartfelt compliments, it's really moving for me every time someone really loved the demo, thank you for your support!!! I hope the full game can be released in Q1 2025! 

I am happy to hear you got better, even 2 years later, it's all that matter, I hope you continue your journey on this path, and you get lot's of fulfilling things in your life, take care <3

Thank you so much for your encouragement, we are working hard on it! Our artist is doing okay, thank you so much for wishing our well being it's really important for me to have healthy practices for a healthy team <3

It pleases me to see people discovery the game years later and still enjoying it, I am glad you enjoyed it! Don't hesitate to check our other games <3

Hello, it's not me who made the tutorial so i can't correct it unfortunately, but I will know to find another or to make one myself, thanks for letting now! 

Hello, Thank you for your kind words^^ 

It's a renpy game, so they should be in your appdata folder, here is a quick tutorial to access them! 

Hello, what a passionate answer! I am not going to answer the part about the Master of Murmurs (the spy master) and Sophie (the lady in waiting). I might adjust a couple of things in the final game on this scene, but overall MM being a wild card and Sophie irreverent was both intended, now I think it's a fair point to envision a MC a bit less forgiving, I will see if I can add small choices about that!

About Theodore (the Duke), if you are curious here is a very old post I did about his animosity over the MC (I thought you might enjoy some extra lore :p) also, as an additional note, the Faraam duchy is right in the middle of mountains. The climate there is cold and sterile, they clearly has the toughest life of the whole kingdom, even if of course Theodore himself never lacked anything, his education were much harsher than MC one that's for sure. 

Thank you for giving a try to our demo, I hope you have fun in the full game <3

Hello, sorry we are a bit late I need to update this page! Frankly it's hard for me to give a new date right now, we made huge progress, the script is done but we are late on the art area so I need a clearer view on that. I am still very hopeful for a release this year, something like September/October depending on our artist health!

Hello, thank you for your answer, about the translation, we cannot afford professional translators for a game of this size unless it's a huge hit, but if we do, Portuguese is among the 3 languages I really would like to translate the game so, maybe? 

Thank you for your support, it's also annoy me so much that people are abusing systems, I really hope we can do something fair for eveyone!

Currency disparity is a valid concern. I don't think it's an option on itchio indeed, we are going to consider regional pricing for steam, and I think it was great and fair for a very long time. Unfortunately people abusing the system using VPN has made things very difficult for dev to do that now... and even when there is adjustment they are minor (like the price might be lower but not super low). 

It's something that need careful consideration and thinking. Like we will probably do some level of regional pricing following the steam guideline (which as I said are not as generous than before). But maybe I could do other alternative... Like it would be cool to do a partnership with a Brazilian outlet or streamer and have them distributing very cheap keys for ex, I really don't mind "devaluating" my work if I know it goes toward the right person? But then, I also don't know how much English speaking VN fan there is in Brazil either and since I don't speak Portuguese it's hard to reach for the right people... 

Anyway, I am rambling, but I heard your concern! <3

Hello, yes the game will be commercial in the release (probably around 20$ with a discount at launch), thank you so much for your support and your kind words <3 I am very glad you liked the strategy aspect since I worked so hard on it :p
