Imperial Grace
August update
Imperial Grace progress
Writing, writing, writing. The beginning of the year was difficult for me, I almost forgot what it was to be really productive but I feel better now and I am slowly catching up.
It's been a year since we released Imperial Grace demo, and now 68% of the writing for the main story is done and currently awaiting proofreading for a total of 117 516 words and I have started to draft most of other scene. There is still a lot of work to do but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I also outlined all the petitions of the game (80 in total) and someone joined the team to help me with the writing, 1/3 are at least in potato draft mode. I have more ideas for petitions, but I think I will keep them for a free update after the game release to not over-scope this part of the gameplay and push the final release date.
If you miss it, we released the sprite of the last important character of the game, Yacine Lecordonier, your half-brother!
Ballads at Midnight final release went well.
In march 2022, I joined Nanoreno with an awesome team and we created a free game in one month, the 15th July, we released the final version of it with extra content and polish and I am blown by the support we received. So far the game has been download 27 824 times on steam and 6 218 times on itchio, I am so happy.
Thank you so much for your support, I am not as regular I would like to be with those updates, but it’s because I am focusing more on finishing the game than marketing this year. (It’s really a hard balance to find…)
Stay safe everyone,
Ayael

Yes <3 I am glad to you have such a sweet, understanding community.
Hi guys, love the art style. I wanted to know if you'll be adding voice over talent to this game? I'm a VO talent and if you need any support in that space, DM me, I'm happy to put some studio hours in for you guys (I own and run a podcast and have all the gear and software).
Hey thank you for your message! For the moment I didn't plan to add any voice acting to the game because I want to pay properly each voice actor and I am the kind of person who like full voice acting ^^"
If the project is a success I will consider raising fund to pay voice actors and make a (free ?) update with voice acting! Although, i don't know if I would like the voice acting to be in english or in french (the original language of the game...), anyway, were are far for this goal yet, I need to finsih to write the script first!
No problemo Synstoria and totally understand regarding the main type of voice acting to run through the entirety of the game. There's no stress on cost - every now and then I have some spare time so message me whenever you like if you want assistance in this space and I'll do the voice over free of charge. Best of luck Synstoria, and thanks for getting back to me!
Yay! this is great news I’m glad you feel motivated and that you are having a good run with your writing. Our brother looks rad AF and I can’t wait to meet him in-game. PLEASE don’t burn yourself out and take breaks.
Thanks for your support! And don't worry i am taking care of myself <3
Awesome news, thanks so much for the update :)
