March 2024 Newsletter

Let's take a look over the last month and highlight some community contributions!



[h2] Spring Sale, and Reviews! ⭐[/h2]

First of all - a big thank you to those who have joined us recently after picking up the game during this months Spring Sale. This is the first time Tales from The Dancing Moon has been on sale, and I'm happy to have a bunch of new players join and experience the story. I hope you're having fun!

If you haven't already - please consider leaving a review. It always helps, even if there's room for improvement!



[h2] SteamDeck Verified! 🎮[/h2]



Following on from last months newsletter update, I managed to provide a patch which bumps the SteamDeck rating from "Playable" to "Verified", this is due to some accessibility improvements such as font scaling, which enhances it's playability on smaller screens and higher resolutions.



[h2]Patch and Updates Recap 🛠️[/h2]



[0.9.16] Brought a whole bunch of fixes, better consistency to the UI, and introduced an important update allowing font scaling! Players can now increase and decrease the font-size used for story, dialog, quests and other prompts to improve their comfort of reading.



[h2] Future Sneak Peek 👀[/h2]

As the stability patches have become less frequent, it has allowed me to think more about creating updates that provide more significant and meaningful changes to the game. What's more is that I am always happy to receive feedback and ideas for those changes over on the Discord server!

Here's a little peek into one of the changes I'm planning for the in-game market place, which will hopefully bring a little more variety and life into the Central Plaza, with new stalls to wander through and merchants to purchase from.







[h2] Community Spotlight 🌟[/h2]

McLana over on the Discord server has shown off a bunch of screenshots, including a clever use of storage using the building systems and a calming winter fishing on the lakes in the evening! Thanks for sharing McLana!







That's all for this months newsletter, thanks for tuning in and playing!
