Happy Holidays everyone!

We hope the season finds all fans of Nina Aquila well, and also wish you the best for the upcoming year! And to commemorate this, here's a piece of original art by the fantastically talented Reendeff!


(they can be commissioned here, if you're interested!)

And for the little announcement...

I can never put a date on the release of Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Chapter IV. Longtime fans will be aware this isn't my day-job, and I can only work on the games when I have time. But things have been progressing well on Chapter IV recently, and I want to just share with you that I aim to try and release C4 before the end of 2024. Thanks in advance for your patience; I'm sure no-one expected it to take this long (myself included!) but I hope you can understand.

So! If you want to keep up with development, there are a few ways to do this.

Hi everyone! Coming to you with an unusually personal plea.

Much of the equipment I use for NALE development is bought on the thrift, as I try to keep costs really low in order to maximise the budget I can spend on making the games the best they can be.

Unfortunately, a couple of months ago the office chair I use developed a problem, and is finally giving up the ghost. I need to replace it as soon as possible before it becomes totally unusable.

This is a problem because I've suffered from lower back problems in the past, so I have to get good quality chairs. I'm also a plus-sized, fat-bodied person, which places some constraints on what I should get. I was very lucky to score this imitation Aeron chair on eBay ~5 years ago for an absolute steal, but I've been watching eBay for a similar bargain and just haven't found one.

While it's not the most exciting or sexy tool of the gamedev trade, I think people will agree that a working office chair is pretty vital in game development.

I want to look after my health and buy a quality chair with a long guarantee, so I want to buy a refurbished actual Herman Miller Aeron Chair, but these are 350, or ~$440. But I'm not comfortable with asking for donations, so instead, I'm putting my game on offer!

So during this period of the Steam Autumn Sale, I'm putting NALES1 at 50% off, and will be funnelling the earnings towards a purchase of a chair.

During this time, if you purchase the game, it will be a huge help. You can also purchase it as a gift either here or on Steam, if you already own the game. Finally, sharing a link in your social circle to the game and explaining this'll help out a one-person indie studio would mean a lot!

You can purchase the game in one of these places:

• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1547290/Nina_Aquila_Legal_Eagle_Season_One/
  
• Itchio: https://tanuki-sama-studios.itch.io/nale

Hi all, happy new year and hope you've had a good start to 2023!

Just wanted to update you all on the state of Chapter IV, and a few other bits and pieces.

Chapter IV's written plan is in the late-stages now, with the plot essentially written, but with work to convert that into a development plan. Similar to how previous chapters were worked up, this involves breaking down the plot into a series of consecutive states, working out what assets are needed, and making sure the right evidence etc. exists at each point of the game. However, it's fair to say this process has "turned a corner" now and once this plan is complete, we can start map-making and scripting.

Additionally, watch out for NALE Season One showing up in a few exciting places... Unfortunately that's all we can say right now, but keep an eye out!

Hi all! This entry starts what will be a series of regular development updates about NALEC4, or Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Chapter IV: "Sacred Feathers".

The goal is for these to be weekly updates, however, we'll only post when there's actually something to report, so we're calling them "regular" updates instead.

Keeping up with updates
If you're seeing this, that means you probably follow something here on Steam related to us. We really recommend, if you want to keep up with things, to follow either the game, or our developer page.

Make sure you follow, NOT "wishlist", as wishlists only get you notified of price drops. Obviously you CAN do both.

Story Updates
One of the biggest parts of NALE development that we can't talk much about (as it's too spoiler-ridden) is story development. We only announced the existence of NALEC4 when we had a story treatment with which we were happy, but that's nowhere near finished. We still need to do quite a bit of work on paper, so that work is ongoing right now. We hope to have updates about this in the near future.

NALES1 Sale!
Due to the sterling crashing vs. the dollar, and us being based in the UK, we're having a 7-day 50% off sale for Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One. Sales of this, either for yourself or as a gift to someone else, count for more in our budget than ever before, so if you've been considering getting NALE, we recommend doing that now!

Thanks, everyone, for being part of NALE's journey up to this point. See you next time!

If you've been thinking of buying NALE either for yourself, or as a gift for a friend, now's a great time! Here's why: did you know we're based in the UK? That context is kinda important for this, our...

"We're based in the UK and the value of the is crashing, but Steam pays us in US dollars so 50% off" Sale!

Were dismayed at the recent catastrophic events in British government that have led to the pound, at the time of writing, being worth approaching 1:1 with the US Dollar; the lowest since the 80s and potentially soon the lowest on record. To be clear - we're genuinely perturbed by this and we're not making light of it; this is going to cause so many problems for people and we hope that the situation improves in the near future.

However, as Steam pay their developers in dollars, this means that

• $100 in summer 2021 was worth 72
  
• $100 now is worth 93

Hi everyone, and thanks for being part of Tanuki-sama Studios' first year on Steam!

This week marks 1 year since we finally got into gear and became Steam Developers, in advance of releasing Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One (which celebrates its own birthday soon, in July!).

To mark this occasion, we've put together a pack of wallpaper images for our fans, which include both 4k resolution 16:9 images for desktop, and high-res images in an aspect best suited to mobile devices. Additionally, we've designed these so they should crop well for ratios like 16:10, or various similar aspect mobile devices.



If you've got NALE installed, these will have come via a small update - you'll find them among the game files in a prominent folder named \Freebies\.

These depict some of our favourite pieces of NALE art that the project has ever produced; art that has been entirely paid for either by fans purchasing the game, or a group shot that was crowdfunded. We're hoping you'll love these bright and colourful backgrounds as much as we enjoyed making them.

Thanks so much, all of you, for being part of our first year on Steam, and we wish you all a great summer!

Thanks, everyone, who got involved in our recent crowdfunding campaign to produce a new piece of Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One art!

With your help, we were able to partner up with the fantastically talented NiahtiArt to create this!



We hope that you all love this as much as we do, and make sure you follow us on Twitter if you're interested in a print - we're going to look into the viability of those in the near future!

And if you've yet to try it, check out Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One today!

We're happy to announce that Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One is playable on Steam Deck!



The version for Deck is a native Linux version of the game (the same one used for Linux desktop), and should work fine, even when you set the deck to its most economical power settings.

Reports from users suggest the game should work without any problems. However, we'll list any info we receive below, and will update it as-and-when we get additional info.

If you've tried the game and want to let us know how it went, please leave a comment!

The v5 version of Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One has launched!



This new version has a variety of improvements, including...

• Full native Linux & Steam Deck support
  
• Character busts for Anya & Judge Tawny in-game
  
• Name cards for character dialogues
  
• Nina's OBJECTION! pose is now animated!
  
• Steam Cloud Support
  
• Update to the game's core framework for improved performance on lower-spec machines
  
• A large number of fixes & improvements
  

Following a period of intense development to upgrade Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One with the help of crowdfunds supplied by our community, we are happy to announce:

The v5 version of the game launches on November 24th, 2021, at noon CST, or 6pm UK time!

This newer version of the game will feature a wide range of improvements, which include...

[h2]Character busts for Anya Miller & Judge Tawny[/h2]



Thanks to our community, we were able to commission additional bust artwork for the characters of Anya Miller (in 3 outfits) and Judge Tawny. These were supplied by a new artist, Sincryart, who came highly recommended by @Koahri1, the artist behind our Nina & Hawke bust images.

You can see more of their work at...

https://www.instagram.com/sincryart/

[h2]Linux & Steam Deck support[/h2]



The game now supports Linux & Steam Deck, via a native Linux binary (not via Proton or similar abstraction layer). As well as opening up NALE to Linux users, we've also already had the game running on a Steam Deck early devkit and the performance is looking great.

[h2]Name Cards for dialogue[/h2]



At the request of many fans, we've now added namecards to in-game dialogue. These appear similar to the example above, for all "major" characters. Each one will only appear once the player reaches a point in the game where Nina is aware of the character's name.

[h2]Nina's major OBJECTION pose is now animated![/h2]



As in the example above, when players perform a major OBJECTION in court, Nina's image will now be animated, courtesy of @KJOEE88 over on Twitter!

[h2]Significant performance enhancements & small fixes[/h2]

NALE has been upgraded to use a much newer version of the nwjs framework, which means the game will perform significantly better on lower-spec machines, and should drop fewer frames on higher spec machines.

Also, thanks to our community, we were able to stamp out a bunch of smaller bugs & typos.

[h2]Get ready for NALES1 v5![/h2]

With all of these improvements, there's never been a better time to step into court in a world where all anime genres exist at once! Wishlist the game now, here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1547290/Nina_Aquila_Legal_Eagle_Season_One/

Hi everyone! We're going to announce the launch date for NALES1's v5 update very soon.

However, we wanted to split this news out into its own update as it's really important for existing fans.

The v5 update is a significant upgrade to Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One, which will improve many aspects of the game.

After the update goes live, your unlocks in-game will be unaffected. This means if you've unlocked Chapter 2, Chapter 3 or the free-roam mode in-game, you'll still be able to select these when you load up the v5 version, and start from that point onwards.

However, these upgrades are so significant that the v5 version will not be compatible with savegames from older versions.

Steam Achievements are not affected by this.

In practice, when you first boot up v5, the game will inform you about the change, and prompt you to delete your older saves.

If, for some reason, you absolutely need your saves and want to stay on v4, you should set NALE in your Steam library to reject updates right now.

However, in doing so, you'll miss out on all the improvements coming in v5, such as more character busts, name-cards on the text boxes, Linux & Steam Deck support and more.

We apologise that this is necessary; we performed R&D to try and see if we could avert this requirement, however, it was simply impossible given the nature of the changes to the game.

We hope this won't inconvenience anyone too much, and that you're still looking forward to the new features of the v5 release! That announcement is coming very soon!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you all a quick progress update about the v5 update later this year, following on from our roadmap post a little while back:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1547290/announcements/detail/5291150756569323437

[h2]Linux Version is coming soon![/h2]
Fans will be happy to know that we have a fully running Linux version now, with only some minor issues that are being ironed out. This runs in a newer version of NodeJS (the Windows release will do this also) meaning that performance is much improved over, for example, the Windows release running via Proton.

Naturally, this is also the version of NALE that will take the game onto the upcoming Steam Deck!

We're not quite ready to release this yet but I think we're at a point where it's safe to confirm it is coming, just a question of when. We'll update you once we have a date.

[h2]Withdrawing support for Mac[/h2]
Due to updates to MacOS, RPG Maker MV is deprecating its Mac support, which affects the editor, but will soon have a knock-on effect on the games themselves.

https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/regarding-future-rpg-maker-mv-macos-support.139708/

Up until now, NALE hasn't had full Mac support (just the demo of Chapter 1 over on indie services, not Steam), but we had intended to support the platform in the future if revenue made it viable (we needed to purchase a Mac for development & testing).

The immediate result of this is that we will be removing the Mac version of the Chapter 1 episodic version of the game from itch.io, to prevent giving the false impression that future NALE content may appear on the platform.

We will not be releasing future versions of NALE for Mac OS, unless the above situation changes. We're sad to have to announce this, but at the same time, we want to be clear for those of you who were waiting for this (as several of you have asked in the past).

[h2]Art Update for v5[/h2]
Progress continues on the art update for v5, that will add character busts for Anya Miller & Judge Tawny. We've almost finished the base images for Anya in 1 costume, and are well on-target to produce the rest. We'll update fans once we have more to show on this.

[h2]Looking forward to the v5 release![/h2]
Thanks for reading this! We're looking forward to the v5 release, and will give you a date once we have one.

We're pleased to announce that the crowdfunding initiative that we announced 3 days ago is now 100% funded:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1547290/view/2947030218280684090

This means that we're full-steam-ahead on providing additional bust images for v5, which will launch later this year (pencilled in for November). These new images will cover Anya in all three of her outfits (regular, prison jumpsuit and catgirl) and Judge Tawny (in her judge attire).

Thanks so much, all of you, who got involved!

Now we just need to make sure that those character images of Tawny & Anya are the best they can be for v5.

We'll have news once we have something to share!

Since the release of NINA AQUILA: LEGAL EAGLE, SEASON ONE on Steam on July 9th, weve been absolutely blown away by the response from the community so many streams, tweets, reviews But also, feedback. One of its major enhancements over prior episodic releases of the game were the character busts of Nina, Dylan and Chad, and you people said you wanted more! But we need YOUR help to make that possible.

Version 5 of the game (the released version is v4) is intended to go out in November. Its our intent that this update will contain a number of improvements, such as native Linux support, running on an upgraded framework for better performance, and a range of smaller fixes like addressing some typos that slipped through the net on the first release.

However, the biggest change we intend to make is to add busts of Anya Miller & Judge Tawny to the game!


Left-to-right sketch of Anya, final image of Nina, sketch of Judge Tawny, final image of Chad
These Anya & Tawny images are just initial sketches, but we wanted to give a little preview!

These will include all three of Anyas outfits (regular clothes, prison jumpsuit and catgirl attire) as well as Judge Tawny in her traditional judges robes, and will be completed in a similar style to the Nina, Chad & Dylan busts already present in-game.

These are made by a new artist, working under the guidance from our prior Nina/Chad bust artist, @Koahri1.

[h2]Why do you need help?[/h2]
As always with additional art, the biggest obstacle for NALE is cost; we need to pay for these assets to go into the game.

NINA AQUILA: LEGAL EAGLE, SEASON ONE on Steam has made $1115 in revenue to-date, which means we beat our revenue target of $1000 (the budget we spent to get the game ready for release), and had some additional funds to help offset some of our costs. However, were at a point now where weve made pretty much 0$. Were cost neutral.

Although were really happy that we managed to do this, it makes it difficult for us to afford additional features or assets for updates.

NALE has never previously accepted donations. We dont run a Patreon. We wanted players to be able to support the game by buying the game, so you (and us!) have certainty, when youre giving us money, that youre going to get whats promised.

This is the first time weve ever tried to crowdfund anything for the project, but were hoping fans are okay with doing this because the end goal is so specific and quantifiable. We hope youll be up for this chance to support us and make a tangible improvement to the game (and because we know some of you really love Anya & Tawnys characters, and have voiced that youd like to see busts of them).

[h2]How do I help?[/h2]
In order to help pay for this, were trying to raise $500 from the community to cover some of the costs of the busts for Anya & Tawny.

You can help us in several ways.

From now until September 30th 2021, all revenue from NALE will go towards this target.

If we hit the target, that means we get the bust set for Anya & Tawny; if we go beyond the target, then well look into adding more characters or some other art improvement. If we miss the target, well still channel the money into NALE art potentially just doing one character, or some other similar purpose that will improve v5.

To break it down, this means you can do any of the following to contribute:

• Donate via our Ko-Fi page
  
• Buy NINA AQUILA: LEGAL EAGLE, SEASON ONE on Steam if you havent already
  
• Buy NINA AQUILA: LEGAL EAGLE, SEASON ONE as a gift on Steam for someone else
  
• Buy any merch on the NALE Teepublic store
  

Hi everyone, and thanks those who took part in our inaugural screenshot derby!

Our winner is Juke, who posted this fantastic shot of Nina driving up to the Rostro Spire from Chapter 3:



Juke submitted tons of entries with many great shots to choose from, but we liked this one as it shows off the Mode7-style scaling present in NALE S1's driving sequences.

Juke can be found on Twitter, here: https://twitter.com/Jukeotakuri

We'll be hosting more community events in the near future, so stay tuned for that!

Just here to announce that we've broken ground on the native Linux version of Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One!

This version is both for desktop Linux users and those who are getting a Steam Deck.



There's NALE S1 running in Ubuntu 20.04 in a Virtual Machine!

Don't get too excited, though. The game crashes after about 10 seconds! Still, baby steps, and we'll keep fans updated with our progress.

Hi NALErs!

Now that we've out of our launch week, we wanted to make a post to talk about where we're going with NALE in the immediate future, just so you all have a window on the next versions of the game.

PLANNED FEATURES
[h2]Update to version 5*[/h2]
Following release, fans have made us aware of a few small bugs. These were mainly typos, and little niggles that most players would not have noticed, so we've held off so-far.

Some of these changes, due to the way they change the game's script files, will require a savedata-wipe to go out with the update, as they would break your older saves, so our plan was to wait until the busy initial launch period was over. Be aware, this should not delete your unlocks, so if you've unlocked Chapter 2, 3 etc. then you'll still have those unlocked - just the actual savegame files will be wiped. We'll test extensively before we push this, because obviously we only want to mandate a data-wipe if it's absolutely necessary.

*FYI, the version live right now is v4. Versions 1-3 were prior to launch.

[h2]Linux Native Version & Steam Deck[/h2]
Following the announcement of Steam Deck, we asked for help from the Linux Gaming subreddit, who were enormously helpful. We've now had enough testing on the Windows version via Proton to be able to say, with some confidence, that the game will work on Steam Deck.

However, we also intend to publish a native Linux version of NALE S1 in the near future, if such a thing is possible, and we're going to start work on that in the next few days. We can't make any promises here as it simply may not be do-able given some of the weird stuff NALE does with plugins that extend the engine's functionality, but if we can do this, then we will. Watch this space for more info.

POSSIBLE FEATURES
Okay, time to be frank. We know that no-one likes to think about revenue/economics, but there are a range of things we would like to do, but, realistically, could only do if the game's revenue permits. These are as follows:

[h2]Additional Character Bust Art - All Characters[/h2]
First, we want to address a bit of fan feedback; we've had a bunch of requests to replace all of the game's face-art to match Nina/Chad/Dylan for a more consistent style. We would love to do this, however, we would need an enormous jump in sales to make it possible.

To put it in perspective, NALE S1 presently has 56 busts, but many of those are variants with different costumes, meaning there are ~25 poses.

Contrast that with this - to do all speaking characters so-far featured would require ~250 images, many of which are unique poses. We're talking somewhere in the region of 5x the amount of art we produced for the Season One release, which, technically speaking, we still haven't fully paid off (we've paid the artists; I just mean that I, personally, am still "in the red" on this).

There's also the fact that we would need enough artists with enough time to provide the images, which will require organisation, though there's no reason to do that unless we have the money. We'll revisit this in the future if it ever becomes viable.

[h2]Additional Character Bust Art - Anya & the Judge[/h2]
However, depending on sales, we may be able to get some more busts, so we're tentatively announcing that, if possible, we will try to get busts of Anya and Judge Tawny. This will depend also on artist availability.

Anya has 8 expressions, each with 3 variants (normal, prison jumpsuit, Aquila Channel catgirl).
Tawny has 8 expressions, with just 1 variant (Judge attire).

When the game "breaks even", we'll start a chart on the community section for this. NALE has, so-far, always been paid for with game sales, not crowd-funding or donations, and we want to try and maintain that approach if possible - so if people wish to support raising the money, which is entirely up to you - then we would recommend buying the game as a gift for friends on Steam.

We're not starting that campaign yet, but of course, if you want to buy the game for friends, we won't stop you!

Watch this space for more info on that.

[h2]Localisation[/h2]
This is a big one. Ever since publishing the very first chapter-based versions of NALE, we've had requests to localise the game. The situation with this is similar to the above; it's all about what we can afford.

Our priority language is Brazilian Portuguese, because we've had an overwhelming number of requests to support this language. We would also like to support Spanish & German, and potentially French, as these are widely used languages on Steam.

Russian and Simplified Chinese are a "maybe", because we are unsure if we can support the character-sets necessary. This will likely require software engineering which raises costs.

Ultimately we would like to see NALE available in any language that fans want. Just there are practicalities we have to consider from our perspective.

FUTURE CHAPTERS
I'm sure a lot of you are reading to get more info on this. All we have to say at present is that, as a largely 1-man outfit, work on future chapters is on hold at present until the Season One release is well and truly wrapped up. This is partially because how things go with Season One has an effect on how we approach future content. We will update fans when we "break ground" on that.

Wrapping up
Thanks again, everyone, for supporting NALE's Steam release!

We hope to have more info about the stuff above, very soon!

Just want to let fans know that we plan to support Steam Deck for NALE S1.

We're in the process of looking into things from the developer side, as well as asking some people over at the Linux Gaming subreddit to give us a hand.

Our initial plans are to run via Proton.

If anyone else has questions about this, just ask! We'll post updates when we have them.

Hi everyone! As our first Steam community event, we're challenging you to come up with the best screenshot of Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One!

As this is our first contest, there is no topic or brief; you can enter with screenshots of any part of the game. You can enter as many times as you want, though please try not to spam.

To enter, post your screenshot as its own post in the Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One community. Screenshots only, no gifs! Also, you can watermark the shots etc. if you want, but please know that only raw screenshots of the game can be picked as the winner, so try to keep a raw version saved somewhere in case we pick yours!

The winner will be celebrated as the subject of a community post. We'll get in touch to get your info, then we'll create a post that links to your profiles/YouTube channel/Twitter (only caveat; NALE is a broadly SFW game so we won't link to explicitly pornographic materials).

Also, please be aware that any screenshots you post might be used on NALE's store page in the future.

Good luck!

Following our earlier post, as England are 1-0 up at half-time, here are 3 free keys for Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One!

92B0X-ETI47-52K2P
44994-BC6LI-MX3JY
49VCA-P70GB-F95EF

Obviously this is an honour system thing, but please only take one, and if you've already got the game, consider leaving the codes for other people.

We'll be back with 3 more if England win the final, so follow the game here on Steam to not miss out!

This tiny update fixes an issue in the Jail map in the explorer mode, which made it impossible for some users to unlock Achievement #27.

Achievement #27 is supposed to unlock when you finish the comedic "fetch quest" in the explorer-mode, which is available after completing Chapter 3.

If you've already completed the quest, it's repeatable, so after you update, you should be able to unlock the achievement simply by doing the quest again.

This should now function correctly for all players.

We're committed to fixing any problems that players encounter; if you see any, please let us know! This post has some more info:
