Let the Matches Begin!



Charming Ladies and Eligible Bachelors,

After a little more than a year and a half of designing, writing and developing,
Austen Translation is finally out on Steam! Our small indie team is so grateful for all the support throughout the project, and especially to those of you that have kept tabs on our work through the dev blog.

This is only the beginning of our satirical romp through our world of Jane Austen. And certainly computational complications and bugs are not foreign to us, so if you encounter any unexpected unpleasantness please let us know here on Steam or feel free to contact us at: [email protected]

Thank you so much! We sincerely hope that you enjoy Austen Translation, and that you don't die from a life of poverty and prostitution. Now get out there and show Jane exactly how it's done!

-W&M

Need a Little More Control?

Hello, young lovers.

For those of you that have Steam Controllers, we suggest using the settings illustrated below. It's so much more satisfying to have a controller to throw at . . . I mean . . . to hand to your opponents while playing party-game multiplayer style. You should be able to download the controller settings from the Community Page at the link below.

Now get out there and show Jane how it's done!

Strategy and Music in Austen Translation



“Without music, life would be a blank to me.”

Gentlemen and ladies,

The interview offers a glimpse into the inspirations and design of the game, and how the music can help give the players a strategic advantage during play. Tune in on your platform of choice for a sneak-preview of the musical soundtrack of Austen Translation.
