100% Funded in Just 5 Days! THANK YOU!

Hi everyone, We are absolutely over the moon to announce that in just five days, Saintess of the Golden Bow has reached its base funding goal! After four years of dedicated development and a whirlwind three-month lead-up to this Kickstarter, your incredible support has officially secured the completion of the game. Were beyond grateful and thrilled to have such an amazing community rallying behind us. Lets take a moment to celebrate this milestone and give credit where its due!

A Heartfelt Thanks


This wouldnt have been possible without:
  • Backers: We're grateful for each and every one of you. Without you realizing our dream of completing the game wouldn't be possible! No matter how big the pledge, we're excited to see each and every one of you adding your contribution to Kickstarter. THANK YOU for being here with us!
  • Our Transparent Games Team: From our core team to contractors and our wonderful Art Interns/Assistants, everyone poured their hearts into making the demo and Kickstarter page shine.
  • Influencers & Press: Your enthusiasm helped spread the word far and wide! Check out the amazing playlist of YouTube streamers who played the demo and supported us: YouTube Playlist (sorted from oldest to newest). Twitch also came alive with streams, and a special shoutout goes to Sammi from OtomeAddicted for championing our game to her community.
  • Everyone who shared news about the game: We know not everyone has the money to back our game, but sharing our social media posts and spreading the word about it helps us tremendously too. We appreciate every single one of you!
  • The Digital Dragons Grant: We were one of only seven teams selected out of more than 100 applicants to receive this grant for international marketing. This enabled us to work with incredible talents like Hubert Nosek from Consek Marketing and Andrew Moers, who crafted the amazing trailer. The grant couldnt be used for production, but it allowed us to explore marketing strategies that have been pivotal to our success.

Whats Next?


Now that the base game is fully funded, its time to focus on our Stretch Goals! Stretch Goal #1: Partial Voice Acting for CGs Bring Saintess of the Golden Bow to life with partial English voice acting for 30 CGs. We want you to feel every heartfelt confession, dramatic moment, and emotional turning point in full voice! Stretch Goal #2: George DLC Explore the story of George, the Duke of the North and fan-favorite ice mage, in an 8-10 hour DLC packed with intrigue, romance, and unforgettable moments. These are just the first two stretch goals, with even more exciting enhancements and DLCs waiting to be revealed. With 27 days left, were confident that together, we can take Saintess to new heights! You can read up more about the stretch goals in this post.

George Merch Update


Good news for George fans! Our mahwa-style Garden Series promo art by Seii is almost complete! We just received a work-in-progress sketch with base coloring for the Celeste & George wallpaper/A4 print walking through the palace garden Bridgerton-style, and its shaping up beautifully.
This piece will join the merch lineup, including:
  • George Dakimakura
  • George Keychain
  • Celeste & George Wallpaper/A4 Print
Backers in eligible tiers will receive this stunning Wallpaper/A4 Print art at no extra charge (unless you want additional prints those are be available too!).

What This Means


Thanks to your support, the base game is now a reality. No matter what happens with the rest of the campaign, the base game of Saintess of the Golden Bow is officially on track for a 2026 release! With 70% of the art complete, the finish line is closer than ever. Well keep you updated on the status of stretch goals, rewards, and everything else as the campaign progresses.

Accessibility Update: Small Demo Change


We wanted to address a valuable piece of feedback we recently received. One of our players mentioned that the spinning reincarnation whirlpool animation, combined with reading text, caused motion sickness. Your comfort is incredibly important to us, so weve taken steps to resolve this issue in the current demo. For now, weve replaced the whirlpool animation with a static image. This change ensures no one has to worry about discomfort while playing.
In the full game, were planning to include an Accessibility Menu where youll be able to toggle animations like this on or off as needed. Since the game will be ported to Unity post-Kickstarter (we have plans for the game we're not ready to announce yet, and for them the game needs to be in Unity), weve chosen not to implement the toggle in the demo right now but opted for a simpler solution. A huge thank you to the player who reached out and shared their experience. It helps us create a better game for everyone. Please dont hesitate to let us know if you have additional feedback! This change was pushed to the Steam build and uploaded on Itch on Saturday the 22nd of March. Thank you for believing in Saintess of the Golden Bow. Your support has turned our dream into a reality, and we cant wait to bring this story to life for you. Lets continue to build on this momentum and make Saintess the best it can possibly be! Stay tuned for more exciting updates and surprises ahead! With love, The Transparent Games Team
