Following your feedback, we modified a little bit the shape of Rosalind. The new shape will also facilitate the creation of a low poly 3D version.
Here's a work in progress sculpt of Rosalind based on the new shape.
NPCs
We did some color tests for the NPCs from the Ancestral Forest. A lot of you voted on Twitter, Facebook and Discord for the white, and the blue/green outfits.
So, we decided to keep both of them and create different kind of outfits for the NPCs.
Enemies
A bit of work has also been done on a 3D modeling and color test for the RATS! How would you feel in front of an army of these running after you in the Ancestral Forest?
T-shirts
We would like to create a nice t-shirt to wear at PAX East and EGX Rezzed. These t-shirts will also be used for contest and giveaways :epiwink:
So, my question is: what would you like to see on it? Be creative and tell us what you'd like to wear. The girl, the Fox, a landscape, anything else?
Thank you for reading.

Nanotale - Typing Chronicles, our new typing game is now in development!
Hark, stranger. Be still a moment. Listen to the sounds… Do you hear them, far off in the deep?

We are proud to finally be able to announce the development of our new typing game, Nanotale - Typing Chronicles, the spiritual successor to 2016’s acclaimed indie title Epistory - Typing Chronicles.
Something is wrong with the heart of magic. Play a young archivist venturing out into a dying world, cataloging its mysteries and its wonders to unearth the truth.
Nanotale - Typing Chronicles is an atmospheric typing adventure RPG set in a colorful vibrant world that blooms to life under the words of Greg Buchanan [www.gregbuchanan.co.uk]. Developed by Fishing Cactus Games with the same core team as Epistory - Typing Chronicles, we can’t wait to share the adventure!
Today is the opening of our Steam page, and with it the beginning of us being able to talk about the project. To make sure that communication between players and devs flows perfectly, we will post weekly updates about the game on the following channels:
As part of how we plan to communicate with you, we are also planning to frequently stream the game to show you its evolution live and to chat with you at the same time. We’ll give you our Stream schedule soon to make sure you don’t miss any of them. Before that, it would be great if you could let us know your timezone in the comments section if you are interested!.
The first stream session will be a Q/A with the devs taking place next week (DTBD) on Twitch and Steam. Come with all your questions about Nanotale - Typing Chronicles.
Your voice is important
Many of you participated in our survey last year about those features you loved in Epistory and how you would like to see these features in our next title.
That survey has been used as a solid base when brainstorming about the Nanotale - Typing Chronicles. It helped us to capture the DNA, the essence of Epistory, to create a new game that we hope will please the community. Sometimes decisions have to be taken. Some are harder than others, but we will count on you to continue to enlighten us about what you think of Nanotale - Typing Chronicles. We want you to take part in this incredible new typing adventure with us!
Leave us your thoughts in a comment and don’t hesitate to spread the news all around you!
Thank you!

Also, the game will be 67% OFF on Steam during the whole weekend. Don't hesitate to spread the word about it.
Thank you!
May the Fox be with you! ːepicoolː
