Zefyr: Prologue News

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p][/p][p]This month I have pretty big news to share with you. Let's go crescendo:[/p][p][/p][h2]Minor Updates[/h2][p]First, I've made many minor updates fixing little bugs here and there thanks to your amazing feedbacks on the forums and discord server. You can find the latest small updates here: [/p][p]https://steamcommunity.com/app/1344990/eventcomments/[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Simplified Chinese in Zefyr[/h2][p][/p][p]Then, starting from today, the game is now officially available in Simplified Chinese thanks to the amazing work of HU Xing-xuan and JIA Li-jiang from VISTA CREATION. The game also went through some QA regarding this localization so it should be all good; but in case you find typos and/or bugs, don't hesitate to report them to me on the forums or the discord server, as usual. I really hope the game will be well received in China![/p][p][/p][h2]New publisher: Creepy Jar[/h2][p]And last but not least, you might have seen that a new publisher has appeared next to my own studio on the Steam Page: Creepy Jar. Maybe you already know them for their best seller title "Green Hell" and their upcoming ambitious SF game "Star Rupture". And indeed, they are now the publisher of Zefyr too. They found out about Zefyr a while ago, and reached to me because they think they can broaden its audience. So we agreed on a partnership that will hopefully make the game reach more players.[/p][p]You might have spotted that their own self-developed titles are a bit more hardcore and realistic than my own games, with different vibes and intention, but they definitely know how to reach players. So it may be a leap of faith for me, but as for now the collaboration goes very well. So thanks a lot to them, and I trust it will bring the best for everyone.[/p][p][/p][h2]-75% Christmas Promotion[/h2][p]Now, the winter holidays are coming pretty soon, I hope you all have great times with your family, friends and loved ones. And if you want to offer Zefyr to anyone, now is a good time: there's a -75% promotion! Merry Christmas everyone![/p][p][/p][p]And that's it for today news! Take care, peace.[/p][p]

Mathias, the (tired) dev

Hello everyone,

The demo and prologue of Zefyr are now available in a new language: Spanish (from Spain)! I hope it’s also relevant for Latin American players too.
Of course, the full game will also be translated, but since this part is done, I decided to push the update to Steam right away!


By the way, it was my dad who localized the game! He's a retired Spanish professor. I hope everything is accurate, but don’t hesitate to let me know if you spot any typos or if certain words could be improved. He speaks Spanish very well, but since he's not a gamer, some terms might be a little off. Any feedback is welcome!

It was super nice working with him—it brought back memories of my old Spanish lessons at school!

On another note, the demo will be featured in Steam Next Fest next week (October, 14th). I really hope the game will reach a much larger audience. Fingers crossed! :)

And a piece of good news to wrap up this quick post: the full game has made it onto Steam's "Most Wishlisted Games" list, which is a huge milestone for a solo, unknown dev like me. Of course, I’m near the bottom of the charts, but it should still give me a bit more visibility for the full release.

Thanks so much for your continued support! Feel free to follow my dev page on Steam:

Have a great day, and take care.

Peace!

Hello there,

Since the release, a few bugs have been reported, so I fixed the following:

• FIX impossible to fully navigate the graphics menu with a controler
  
• FIX map is invisible in the bo dojo
  
• IMPROVE too small range to discuss with Terry so you need to get super close
  
• FIX missing tulip 3D model when collecting it
  

Thanks a lot for all your feedback!
As usual, wishlist the full game please and share itwith your friends, it's the best way to help me!

Peace!

Hello everyone!

Today is finally the release day of Zefyr:Prologue.
Thanks a lot for your amazing support and patience!
As a reminder, this prologue is the first chapter of the full game "Zefyr: A Thief's Melody", on which I've been working solo for 11 years. The full game should release on Q4 2024.

I really hope you'll like it!

As I'm a super small & totally unknown solo dev, I really need all the help I can get! If you want to support me you can:
[h2]👉 Leave a review[/h2]
Even a simple one like "yes" will do the trick. The more reviews, the more visible the prologue will be steam, and hopefully it will reach more players.

[h2]👉 Wishlist the full game[/h2]
Because this prologue is free, I shall pay myself only when the full game releases. So the end goal is to have more people interested in the full game. And the more wishlists, the more visible the final game will be. So, please wishlist the full game and share it to your friends: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1344990/Zefyr_A_Thiefs_Melody/

[h3]🙏 Thanks A LOT for your help 🙏[/h3]

Happy gaming, take care, peace!
