Nanotale - Typing Chronicles News

Hi Fox Riders,

I am happy to announce you that we updated Nanotale with voice-overs. We still need to tweak them here and there, so, we recommend you to low down a bit the effect sounds in the menu before playing.

We also updated the game with some fixes and improvements. Here's the full list.

Added:

• Voice-overs
  
• Accessibility options:
  
  • Open dyslexic font
  • Health regeneration overtime
    
  • Toggle a pause in the world so you can get out of a bad situation
• Adaptive difficulty based on your wpm (active by default)
  
• Difficulty levels
  
• New Fox abilities (new upgrades for the Fox)
  
• Reveal effect when you get a new spell fragment.
  

Fixes:

• Teleport issue in the cave
  
• Serpent battle doesn't reset correctly
  
• Ray of fire sometimes didn't burn poison
  

Improvements:

• Art and visibility improvement in the forest
  
• Can backtrack after Serpent battle
  
• New main menus
  
• New Loading screens
  

Note: The secondary characters in Nanotale, don't have sounds/voices yet. We plan to add emotes/sounds when you start a dialogue with them.

Thank you for reading and we hope that you will enjoy that little early Christmas present.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Fox Riders,

Last week we focused on sorting and implementing all the voice over from the game. So happy to share this with you. The voice you can hear is Jenn Henry who’s playing her Majesty The Queen. She’s amazing and very nice to work with. What do you think? We are now testing it to make sure that everything is fine. Once it's done, we'll update the game with all the voices.

There are no small improvements. Some areas were too messy, with too many decorative elements (grass, ruins), and the ground color was too similar to our main character's outfit making her barely visible. The joy of post-production.

Woke up last Friday to see that we made it to the Indie of the Year top 100 on IndieDB. Thank you so much for your votes. Weird thing with that award is that people have to vote for your game twice: one time to reach the top 100 and one another time once you are in the top 100. It means that you have to ask for a double engagement and I feel that it’s asking a lot. But it you could visit the page and vote one more time for us so we can at least reach top 10, it would be awesome. I’ll keep you in touch after the results in 6 days.

Hi Fox Riders,

How are you doing? Confinement and everything?

Last week, we continued to work on bug fixing. Here's a simple example of issues we are fixing in the game. When your game has an isometric view sometimes, you miss details like these floating rocks, until you look at it from a different angle.



Our 3D Artist Quentin published that nice video showing how he works to create scenes in Nanotale. Creating those small scenes is good for inspiration. You can use them as catalogs to see all the elements you have created. Sometimes, you just forget how many you can use, and always take the same ones.

Hi Fox Riders,

Last week, we integrated some voice over in the game, which means that we'll be able to show you soon how it sounds like in the game. We are really happy, since it really adds something to Nanotale. We hope to update the game with that new content before the end of the year, depending how fast are the voice actors to send us their work.

We also continued to polish the existing content, modifying the script, fixing issues in some languages, but also taking some time to polish a bit the menu of the game, making it nicer. Small details that can add so much to the overall experience.
