The Letter News

Hey gang! Sorry for the wait, but we're happy to announce that v1.0.9 is officially live! \o/

• Relationship Balancing.Increased Hannah/Luke relationship from +1 to +2 when 'You'll be a great father' is selected in Chapter 2.
• VA Mismatch. All reported inconsistencies between the voice acting and the in-game text are fixed!
  
• Branch tree nodes. All reported bugs regarding the branch tree nodes are fixed! Theoretically, you should be able to unlock all the nodes in Chapter 6 and 7 and get those achievements!
  
• Gallery bugs. All gallery/image related bugs are now fixed! Excess locked CGs, item sprites, etc. are gone, and the CGs that have a flashback effect should now be displaying correctly!
  
• Save files. We have implemented a new fix that would hopefully prevent users from losing their progress when the saving process is disrupted. Though rare, we will still be keeping an eye for these types of reports. If you continue to encounter this problem (I sure hope not!), please don't hesitate to approach us!
  
• General polishing of the whole game.

Assuming everything goes well with v1.0.9 and there are no major problems, our next patch will include the narrative fixes of the full game (courtesy of our wonderful editing team; thank you to all the players who volunteered! ^^), plus the long-awaited Music Room!! Watch out for our future announcements! We're so excited! ♡♡

That's it for today's update! If you're enjoying the game, please don't forget to leave us a review! ^^ Thank you so much for playing The Letter! ♡

Hi gang! Just a short announcement to let you all know that we're still working on the game. :D v1.0.9 is still coming; we're just taking our time to make sure there are no game-breaking bugs that will come along once it's released. We learned our lesson from v1.0.7, after all! :P

Here's what we've been doing these past few weeks:

• Save files. Despite the fix we've implemented before, a few players still lose their save files/progress when their PC improperly shuts down. When this happens, our saving process is disrupted, causing it to become corrupted. Our lead programmer is working on another fix for this as we speak, and it will be released in v1.0.9. This is a rare bug, but if you're one of the few who's been affected, please send an email to [email protected] so we can help you recover your save files. :)
  
• Grammar check/polishing of Chapter 6.
  
• VA bug fixing of Chapters 5, 6 and 7. The text should match what's being said by the actors.
  
• Bug fixing of branch tree nodes.
  
• Bug fixing of gallery/image related bugs.
  
• A few relationship balancing.
  
• And several other bug fixes and polishing of the game in general.
  

Moving forward, reward fulfillment for our backers is also underway:

• Mobile version of the game (both iOS and Android).
  
• Artbook and soundtrack.
  
• Special content.
  

We're blessed to have very supportive players! ♡ We've been receiving messages from some you, offering to help us check the game's grammar and narrative. We're eternally grateful, and if you're an active member of our Discord, I already mentioned there that we will soon release the game's raw files to all those who are willing to re-read all 700k words of it. XD

For now, if you're interested in joining our community-based Editing Team, please fill up this short survey:

Once we're ready to distribute the files, we'll let you know through Discord and/or via email. As a token of our appreciation, all volunteers will be added in the game's credits! ♡


Just like editing, we've been receiving offers from our players to translate the game into different languages! Thank you all so much for offering your time to make The Letter an even better game, and we'll reach out to you again as soon as editing is done! :)

Hello gang! We are aware of the various UI problems caused by the latest patch (v1.0.7). We are pushing the fix for this as we speak, and v1.0.8 should be available anytime now.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We are currently optimizing several of the game's systems for better performance, and in the process, accidentally nicked the wrong parts. We will be more careful next time.

Patch Notes for v1.0.8

• Fixed various UI problems , such as: (a) Extras redirecting to Gallery. (b) Unclickable choices. (c) Messed-up journal layout. (d) And several other weird UI problems that seem to fix itself when the game is restarted.
  
• Re-polished the narrative of Chapter 1. All reported grammar mistakes for Chapter 1 here on Steam and Discord should be fixed. We also rephrased some parts that are stilted, so hopefully they sound more natural now. Please let us know if there's anything else you find odd!
  
• Bug Fixing of Chapter 6. All reported VA mismatch, branch tree nodes not unlocking, and bugs for Chapter 6 should be fixed! However, there are still some lines that don't have VA. We'll get to them soon! If we missed something, please let us know so we can correct them!
  
• Relationship Balancing. Increased Isabella/Rebecca relationship from +1 to +2 when 'This cold caught up with me' & 'Is this why you didn't go home last night?' were selected in Chapter 5.
  

We have noticed several issues regarding the game's CGs/BGs, so please expect another patch from us soon. These issues include unobtainable Epilogue CGs, all CGs/BGs that have a vignette/flashback effect not displaying, and other Gallery-related bugs.

v1.0.9 might come a few days from now. Please be a little more patient with us as we continue to squash these pesky bugs! =)

Thank you so much!
