Hi Fox Riders, Today we released the same update as last week but for MacOS.

FIXES

Hi Fox Riders, Today we release what we hope will be the last update on Nanotale. Thanks to all of you for reporting these bugs and sending us your logs and save files. It helped a lot!

FIXES

Hi Fox Riders, Here is some news about the plushies. The good news is that the Blue Fox is funded so it will get into production. Unfortunately, the Green Jasper still needs a little push to get 100% funded greenjasper So, if you want to help us with the extra push, you can adopt a Green Jasper here: https://shop.makeship.com/3Ym5HLa [url=https://shop.makeship.com/3Ym5HLa]

Hi Fox Riders, After the success of Epistory's Fox, the plushies from Nanotale are finally available on Makeship for a limited time! Will you be team Blue Fox or team Green Jasper? Or you can even get the two of them with a discount! It's a 21 days limited edition, so hug them before it's too late: https://shop.makeship.com/3Ym5HLa [url=https://shop.makeship.com/3Ym5HLa]

Thank you very much for reading! Cheers, -VirginRedemption

Hi , Once again we are working on a Japanese version of our coming title Outshine. Just like Epistory and Nanotale, Outshine will work with companion words which are romanized versions of the words you have to type in Japanese. Thanks to you we learned a bit more about Japanese localization while developing our typing game and now we understand that there are different ways to romanize it. There is the Hepburn romanization that generally follows English phonology with Romance vowels. But also the Nihon-shiki romanization originally invented for Japanese and his modified variant the Kunrei-shiki.

So our question is: What romanization Japanese would prefer in Outshine?

Nihon-Shiki Romanization

Hepburn Romanization

Hey Fox Riders, Earlier this year, we partnered with Makeship to create plushies of the Fox from Epistory. This time we'd like to run another campaign with characters from Nanotale. Therefore, we'd like to now if you'd prefer to have the Blue Fox (cute plushie version), the Green Jasper, or both. Please tell us in the comments or using this google form.

Updates about Nanotale and our other games

Hi Fox Riders, It's Steam awards time and we were wondering if you would feel like voting for Nanotale. nanofox All of the award categories are restricted to games released this past year with the exception of the "Labor of Love" category. So, also played our first typing game Epistory and feel it deserves the "Labor of Love", please don't hesitate to vote for it too. greenjasper

Plushies

Hi Fox Riders, During the development of our last typing adventure, Nanotale, some players asked us for for a fast-paced typing mode. Of course, we released the arena mode to please the frenetic typists among you. But, we also had the idea of a new typing game, more arcade oriented where your only goal is to destroy your enemies in a fast-paced typing game. So, here comes Outshine where each world has its own flow, enemies and bosses. Master your different special abilities and find the best tactic to defeat your enemies and escape. Beat the game then change the game modifiers to create a brand new custom experience. Ready to type your way up the leaderboard?
Outshine is still in development and is planned to be released around mid-2022. Meanwhile, it would mean a lot to us if you could wishlist it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1288410/Outshine/
Thank you. -VirginRedemption

Hi Fox Riders, I hope that you are doing great! The Tokyo Game Show has started and for the occasion they wanted all participants to have playable demos of their games so players can test games as if they were attending the event IRL. So, if you wanted to give it a try before buying it, it's the right moment. Enjoy! More awesome games to discover on the official Steam page of the TGS with the link below.

What's in the demo

Hello Fox Riders, We just updated the game with a fix for the snake battle preventing archivists to finish it. Let us know if you find other bugs, don't hesitate to join our Discord if you want to get in touch. -VirginRedemption

Additions:

Hi Fox Riders, When we released the game, some of you were missing the Arena mode we had in our previous typing game, Epistory. For that reason, we worked on adding this mode to Nanotale. You can now enter an infinite battle mode and enjoy smashing your keyboard to defeat the enemies coming at you. As we wanted Nanotale to be different from Epistory, we also added a new twist to the Arena mode, giving you a lot of random waves but also objectives to maximize your score. The Arena mode is coming with three arenas: Desert, Forest, Caves. You can already have access to the Desert. The Caves and the Forest will follow week by week.

Hi Fox Riders, I caught a cold and I auto-quarantine myself. But we are not here to talk about me, right? We have a new logo! The game is feature complete, which means that everything we add now is part of the "nice to have" list (I think I already said that earlier epiwtf). So, we are continuing to work on that magical list. The logo was part of that list, since the previous one was not super visible on small format. Here's the new one and the new animation for it epilove

About the BETA

Next step

Hello Fox Riders, Here's an update of the list of tasks that need to be done for the closed BETA of the desert:

• [strike]Sound design on ending cinematic (because we can't let you finish the game without a nice ending).[/strike]
• Update save file system to make sure that your saves will work with the improvements made on the previous biomes.
• [strike]Get the Chinese translation from our published and integrate it.[/strike]
• Some bug fixes and tweaks.

Hi Fox Riders, Last week again, we were working on having the closed BETA of the desert ready but not only. Most of our programmers have been super busy on the STADIA porting, since the final release of the game depends on that porting (we have to release on both STADIA and Steam at the same time). So, finishing the desert takes a bit more time than expected. I don't think that the desert will be accessible in January but we aim for the first week of February. Here's what still need to be finished for the closed BETA:

• Sound design on ending cinematic (because we can't let you finish the game without a nice ending).
• Update save file system to make sure that your saves will work with the improvements made on the previous biomes.
• Get the Chinese translation from our published and integrate it.
• Some bug fixes and tweaks.

Hi Fox Riders, I am really sorry for the late weekly update. We were super busy working on the closed BETA of the desert that is still plan before February. The focus is now on the FINAL battle of the game and the ending cinematic. We don't want to rush it and have a low quality ending compared to the rest of the game. Tomorrow, we'll have a big meeting about it to pick a date. Is it just me or fixing the moving rings is kind of hypnotic?

HELP US

Hi Fox Riders, Last week we worked on various things such as the cinematics, but also fixed bugs to have the closed BETA of the desert ready before the end of January as promised. Here are a few teasers.

New pricing

Hi Fox Riders, Happy New Year! Let's hope that 2021 will be better than 2020. But it can't be worst than that right?! Most of us were on Holidays during the last two weeks, excepted for our dear programmers who continued to work on debugging the game.
So, what happened during these two weeks?

We won the Indie of the Year on Indie DB

BONUS

Hi Fox Riders, Last week, we published the new update of Nanotale with the voice-overs. That took us most of the week. Meanwhile, we also continued to improve the game and implement small additions. Did you try the new update? Would love to have your feedback about it.
Here's one of the small additions in post-prod that bring so much to the player's experience. We wanted our main menu to change depending on the biome you are currently exploring in the game. Here the desert. [previewyoutube=4N__ChpB6hk;full][/previewyoutube]

Hi Fox Riders, Last week we focused on sorting and implementing all the voice over from the game. So happy to share this with you. The voice you can hear is Jenn Henry whos playing her Majesty The Queen. Shes amazing and very nice to work with. What do you think? We are now testing it to make sure that everything is fine. Once it's done, we'll update the game with all the voices. [previewyoutube=cdq5WXWbVC0;full][/previewyoutube]

Improvements

Please help us again

Hi Fox Riders, How are you doing? Confinement and everything? Last week, we continued to work on bug fixing. Here's a simple example of issues we are fixing in the game. When your game has an isometric view sometimes, you miss details like these floating rocks, until you look at it from a different angle.
Our 3D Artist Quentin published that nice video showing how he works to create scenes in Nanotale. Creating those small scenes is good for inspiration. You can use them as catalogs to see all the elements you have created. Sometimes, you just forget how many you can use, and always take the same ones.
