The End of an Actress (tuxdb.com)

▶

Hi everyone! I'm writing a quick post to let you know that I've uploaded a new build of Actress! This build fixes a handful of typos which were pointed out to me on the Steam community hub over the last couple of years, so the reading experience should be smoother. I also re-coded some of the longer panning scenes so they should look a little smoother. As always, do let me know if you find any problems, and I'll try to fix them when I can! I also have a question. A few years ago, I paid to have Actress translated into Russian. I received the files, and implemented them into the game, but a friend of mine who's a native Russian speaker informed me there were various issues with the Russian translation, including various typos, character names being inconsistent, and some tense problems. I was told the Russian translation was 'readable', and it was clearly done by a human rather than a machine, but the experience was rather unpolished. As such, I held off on adding the Russian translation into the VN officially. I was wondering if people would be interested in me adding the Russian translation into the VN even if it is imperfect. As I did pay for the TL, I would like to add it into the game so more people can experience the story. I'm hesitant to include a translation that contains various issues, however, and I can't justify the expense getting the full visual novel re-translated. I'd be interested to know if you have any opinions on the matter! Do let me know if you'd be interested in reading Actress in Russian even if the translation is a bit spotty in places. - ebi x

Based on the life (and death) of Marie Antoinette, The End of an Actress is a tragic romance story set in a fantasy universe with close parallels to late 18th century France.

The kingdom of Artoire was once a force to be reckoned with. Governed by a string of beloved kings, the nation was wealthy, its people prosperous. That was in the past, however. Now, Artoire’s fortunes are dwindling as constant wars and food shortages sweep the land. After innumerable hard years, the people of Artoire begin to despair. Fearing for the worst, they search for a messiah who can save them during their time of peril…

And that messiah comes in the form of a fourteen-year-old girl called Liliane.

Liliane is a beautiful, charming, elegant young lady from the foreign land of Charentes, born to the noble Saint-Coeurs. Betrothed to the future king of Artoire, Liliane ascends to the throne upon the death of the old monarch, to public approval and rapturous applause.

With the passing of time, however, the public opinion towards Liliane turns. It soon transpires that the new queen is vain and flighty, and she cares not one jot about the plight of the common people. The death toll continues to rise, new wars loom on the horizon, and despair swells.

Betrayed and helplessly hurt, a young man called Marius becomes a key player in a revolt that will shake the society of Artoire to its very core. Once a street urchin enamoured with the queen, and now a lead revolutionary, Marius is faced with a difficult decision. Can he really bring the queen he once adored to justice… or will his old feelings ruin all he has been working for?
