Legends of Astravia's demo has been fully translated to Japanese. A huge thank you to obatatsu for making this possible! It is very exciting to be able to offer this, since Legends of Astravia was originally inspired by Japanese RPGs. We really hope you enjoy it. The game should automatically detect the system language. If it does not, you can switch the language between English and Japanese in the game options at any time. At this time, there is no dedicated technical support or community support available in Japanese. If you are interested in volunteering to help Studio Alemni with this, please contact Jaiden via Discord here.

A note about translation to other languages

Priority was provided to the Japanese translation due to the game's heavy inspiration from JRPGs. We want to provide Legends of Astravia in as many languages as possible, and this was a good test for how difficult the integration is. Unfortunately, since it costs a lot of development time on top of a financial burden to translate, other languages will likely not be considered for translation until after the release of the full game. An announcement will be made in the future if these circumstances change for whatever reason.

Version 0.3.0 Update

This update also includes a small patch that provides a few more QoL fixes to the demo. Changelog:

• Added Japanese language support
• Verified Linux and Steam Deck support via Proton
• Improved handling of incompatible controllers
• Adjusted battle speed for a more consistent experience
• Rebalanced the game audio
• Added some missing sound effects to the boss sequence
• Fixed a bug where the Essence tutorial window would close completely when attempting to skip text
• Fixed a bug that could cause the game to crash when fighting the boss
• Fixed a bug where some animation sound effects might not play
• [strike]Added new bugs?[/strike]

If you run into any new issues when playing the demo, please do not hesitate to report them on the discussion board. Additionally, since the battle speed algorithm was modified, I'm not sure how this may affect the demo overall, so any feedback about your gameplay experience is always welcome.

Linux & Steam Deck Support

Linux and Steam Deck support is now confirmed! (Special thanks to HawkZombie for physically checking the Steam Deck). However please note that Linux support is made available via Steam's "Proton" feature. While a dedicated Linux build was possible, due to development constraints, we're not able to test the various distributions of Linux to ensure the game is stable on most machines. Thus, Proton was the ideal, more widely compatible solution. Please report any issues in the support forum. [hr][/hr] Thank you for your support. I have received lots of helpful and uplifting feedback about the demo since its English release in February, and I hope it is an enjoyable experience for Japanese players as well. I am looking forward to sharing more updates soon! -Jaiden
