NEXT FEST demo: Patch notes
Thank you very much to everyone testing the demo at the moment! We're overjoyed to see that so many of you have been trying and playing the game.
To all of you reporting bugs with the ingame button: we see them, and that's helping a lot!
And we're on it, trying to fix them on the go.
PATCH NOTES - v0.21.8.1 DEMO
Fixed major bugs:
- Hortegarde region blocked when loading and leaving the player on a black screen.
- Localization bug when playing in Japanese, blocking the game in an event.
- Item selection bug using a gamepad in Colobra's mouth menu.
And a bunch of other small issues.
Thanks for being understanding. We hope you have a lot of fun with the festival's demos!

New Character joins the cast!
We are overjoyed to present you the new 5th playable character of Baladin's cast: THE BARD.

Their lead stat is obviously the Finesse and they know how to make good use of their aura to convince people around.
Joining the already existing cast constituted of the Cook (Creation), the Dancer (Physique), the Luxomancer (Knowledge), and the Pyrotechnician (Destruction).

DEMO UPDATE + Kickstarter 250%
Hi Steam! We have updated the demo with minor fixes and features! Changes with the 🐲 icon in front of them are changes or additions suggested by the community.
We plan to leave the DEMO accessible on Steam for at least 15 days more. We hope you'll enjoy :)
New Features
- Quests marker under NPCs in locations are updated if you need to talk to them to advance in a quest! We hope it will clarify who to talk to at which moment :)
- Current player inventory is now also displayed under the stat UI. You can see what's inside your bag in a glance and hover items to check who need them!
- The map has been updated! New flowers, true vineyards, golden beehives, smooth grass and fluffy bushes... Everything is ready to welcome cute animals ;)
Quality of life
- 🐲 The 'end turn' button is now displayed in the locations UI when you don't have action/movement points left.
- A feedback has been added when you gain a characteristic !
- The last week is now notified at the right moment (being... at the beginning of the last week, yeah).
- Overall UI optimization.
- Tonneline has been buffed.
Corrections
- 🐲 The skin tone of the Luxomancer in the endgame slideshow has been updated to better match its tone during gameplay.
- Gold in inventory menu is now updated during player's turn.

Baladins Demo - French version & Patch #1
Good day to all of you! We have updated the demo of the game with some minor fixes, quality of life and a whole new trad to french! Have fun.
NEW FRENCH TRANSLATION
The game is now playable in French !
You can switch languages in the settings menu
Quality of life:
- Menu tabs are now displayed during narrative events.
- A tutorial has been added during the first narrative event.
- Characteristics and items gain have a proper feedback now.
- The settings menu button is more visible in the title menu.
- We clarified the randomness of some events by writing the results of hidden dice rolls
Balancing:
- Alda's and Filomena's challenges are now subject to dice rolls to harmonize all behaviors in the game.
- Fixed the stolen wine questline : you couldn't meet the sleeping bandit if you did not tell the bandits about the secret passage in the castle. There was also a bug allowing you to steal from the bandit and receive nothing.
- The base difficulty threshold of all dice rolls has been raised a bit (from 7 to 8 )
- Added a system to prevent being trapped in a bad luck loop : the hard challenges with the salamanders are automatic successes if you try enough times.
Kickstarter update:
Baladins is running a Kickstarter campaign right at the moment. We're already funded at 160% and we still have 22 days to go! Already 700 backers joined us in the adventure.

Baladins is live on Kickstarter!
Baladins is Seed by Seed's second game already.
It is a bite-size multiplayer RPG, allowing you to get feels and thrills of huge adventures, but split into easy-to-set-up one-hour sessions! Inspired by french folkore, Baladins will let you travel the odd lands of Gatherac and save the country from the fierceful dragon Colobra!
This Kickstarter is a huge step for us, as we want to build a community around Baladins. Developing a game with players in mind is good, but being able to involve them and gather feedback is even more precious for us! Proving that we can create interest within people will also help us with the long run, by convincing potential partners and giving us leverage to always put the game first.
Please check out the campaign to get every info you need!
We hope you will have a fun time playing Baladins' demo and scrolling through all the little creation secrets shared in our Kickstarter page!

Stream: AMA with devs for the LudoNarraCon and Kicksarter launch!
LudoNarraCon is taking place May 5-9 and we're super happy to be part of it with Baladins. Join us for a fun session of "Ask me Anything" where we'll play the demo while answering any questions coming up.
We also recommend to check out all the amazing games showcased at the event! To learn more about it, visit the LudoNarraCon website!
On top of that, Baladins is coming to Kickstarter tomorow!
Starting a crowdfunding campaign makes a lot of sense for us, as we really want to build the game with our players. We are a small independant game studio, and support from the community is more important than anything. We believe this campaign will help up to make the best of Baladins!!!
