Greetings, Voyagers! We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming response to our Steam demo. Your support has exceeded our wildest expectations, and we're truly thankful. Today, we're thrilled to embark on a special community Q&A journey to address some of your burning questions and concerns while offering insights into the future of Sword of Convallaria. To watch the full Q&A video: https://youtu.be/ph8ig6qjIug Let's dive into some highlights! [b][h3]Release Date[/h3][/b] [i]"These devs will yap about anything but the release date haha. Jokes aside, I’m really excited for this game and I’m hoping the longer they take developing it, the better it will be so here’s hoping for a solid launch (whenever it happens)"[/i] We understand the eagerness surrounding the release date. It's a top priority for us too. The decision to delay was made with the game's long-term quality in mind. We'll announce the release date as soon as possible. Your patience means the world to us! [b][h3]Localization Quality and Language Support[/h3][/b] [i]"Glaring inconsistency with translations, be it grammatical or linguistic, leave a sour taste when trying to absorb any of the story available." "Please add German/French/Italian/Portuguese/Vietnamese/…" "The voice localization might have English options on the full release."[/i] Your feedback on localization inconsistencies and language support is invaluable. We're committed to enhancing the English localization to meet industry standards and exploring additional language support based on community demand. Stay tuned for updates on future localization plans!

Your patience and support as we develop these features are greatly appreciated! [b][h3]Gacha/Recruits in Story Mode[/h3][/b] [i]"Is there gacha/random recruits in the story mode?"[/i] Rest assured, there's no gacha system in the story mode. The recruitment system operates independently from monetization, following classic TRPG mechanics. Our aim is to provide a rewarding progression experience free from pay-to-win elements.

Every platform will eventually have its own UI tailored for the best user experience. [b][h3]Campaign Key System[/h3][/b] [i]"How fast/How much time do you need to grind the online mode to get keys for campaign?"[/i] We've designed a system where players can earn keys through regular logins, ensuring accessibility to the single-player campaign. Your long-term engagement benefits both the community and our ongoing development.

Stay tuned for updates on this feature!

Your involvement shapes the direction of our multiplayer development.
