Big Localization Update 0.3 (Sonorus)
Greetings, Headmasters and Headmistresses!
We're thrilled to finally unveil our "Big Localization Update"! A tremendous amount of work has gone into bringing you these translations, and while there are bound to be some initial hiccups and inaccuracies, we're incredibly excited to take this first step in making our game accessible to a wider audience.
And, to make it accessible to even more players, we're also excited to announce that the game is now available for macOS!
Version 0.3 (Sonorus) is now available for our Magister-level patrons and above! You can also gain access to this exciting new update by purchasing it on itch.io or by supporting us on one of our subscription services. Meanwhile, version 0.2.8.2 (Expelliarmus) is now publicly available for everyone to enjoy!
Update 0.2.8.2 (Expelliarmus) include:
Key Features of this Update:
- Revamped English Localization: Experience the game with improved clarity, accuracy, and immersion thanks to a complete overhaul of the English text.
- Credits Panel Added: We've added a "Credits" panel where you can find a list of our team members, a special thanks section, and a tiered list of our generous Patrons. It's time to immortalize your contributions to the game's development!
- New Character: Penelope: As a thank you for their long-time support, we've added a character designed by our Patron "Irroth, the Grand Librarian." Meet Penelope in the tavern after you throw a party to celebrate the Academy's opening. She doesn't have any quests or extensive dialogue yet, but she will be further developed in future updates.
Bug Fixes:
- Journey Spell Targeting: Fixed a potential issue with spell targeting in the "Journey" section.
- Lillian Dialogue Saving: Resolved a bug that prevented saving the game during dialogues with Lillian.
- Victoria's Quest: Fixed an error in Victoria's quest where only one dialogue option allowed the player to exit the conversation.
We look forward to your feedback on the updated English localization!
Update 0.3 (Sonorus) include:
New Languages:
- Brazilian Portuguese
- German
- French

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we refine these translations. Please report any inaccuracies, bugs, or errors you encounter on our Discord server. We'll be working diligently to address them promptly.

We can get newer versions earlier by purchasing them on itch? Nice
Localization update isnt really interesting enough for me to justify that, but perhaps next update.
Hi. Yes, we are currently adhering to the standard distribution model for such games:
Closer to the full release, when the game is almost ready, we will remove the free version and make the purchase a one-time purchase (as on Steam, for example). But this is unlikely to happen soon.
This update is not just localization - we added new quests, two new characters and updated old scenes, but I understand your position.
The next update will include academy management mechanics - faculties, subjects, school rules, prefect appointments. You can learn more in our developer diaries.
Sounds cool. 7 dollars isnt too much. Needing to spend it multiple times will mean I will skip a version or two every once in a while though.
yay, new content! *happy dance*
