Austen Translation News

Greetings, folks!

We've taken a quick break on HRO development and pushed an update today that fixes a few lingering bugs with regard to the scoreboard not appearing properly.

As always, thanks so much for playing!
Happy match-making!

Greetings, High Society!

We at W&M are over the moon to share with you that we've announced our next title, and it will be available to play next week in Steam's Next Fest!



HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer is a puzzle-driven visual novel set in a retro-futuristic sci-fi universe. You play the underappreciated Humanoid Resources Officer aboard the Endeavor — a military spaceship with more than its fair share of crew rivalries, office politics, and erratic decision-makers. When the Endeavor stumbles into universe-shaking trouble, you must harness the power of the bureaucracy to rein in your crew’s worst impulses and survive to the next episode!

You can check out the game on the store page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198520/HRO_Adventures_of_a_Humanoid_Resources_Officer/

During Next Fest (June 16th - 22nd) you'll be able to download a free preview demo of HRO! Additionally, we've launched a W&M Discord server: https://discord.gg/4yWcQTn6gH
Please stop by and say hello! We'd love to connect and get your feedback on HRO!

Gentle People,

We hope you're all doing well out there and staying safe.

We are delighted to announce that Austen Translation has received a musical upgrade. You may note that the dulcet tones of the rather frenetic accompanist sound a little different. Functionally, the music remains the same. But the previously utilized MIDI system has been replaced with a sampled piano. Keep an eye and an ear out for an update soon for a soundtrack release date. It's been a long-time coming but we're super busy here at W&M.

Until the next announcement, enjoy this musical upgrade and as always, thanks so much for playing!

With the release of Steam’s new “Remote Play Together” feature, you can now play “Austen Translation” with friends even when you’re not all in the same room — or even the same time zone. Better still, only one of you needs to have a copy of the game to enjoy a match with up to four human players. So get out there and test your strategic social maneuvering skills against your nearest and dearest!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are delighted to annoucne that the Free November Expansion for Austen Translation is live! For any players that already have Austen Translation, the new content will be downloaded as a regular update. Some of the new content includes:

• Four new social events featuring: The Hedgehog Races, the Temperence Lecture, a Grand Ball and the Amateur Theatricals.

• Four new bachelors including: the dashing Commander Wrentham, the dapper Charles Muskrat, the athletic Reginald DeCorset, and the punctual John Lessland.

• New accessories for heroine customization -- Whether it's a hat or a hairbow, each hairstyle has its own unique adornment.

• Four new desktop wallpapers which will be listed in the store soon as free DLC.
• As well as additional bug fixes and various improvements.

So after you've had some left-over turkey, gather up your friends and relatives and see which of you has the wit, ruthlessness and charm to survive this regency non-dating sim!

Enjoy, everyone!
