What could this DLC be? In short: our Art efforts!
LBR Original Sountrack & LBR Artbook.
Only a few know that Little Briar Rose traveled around the country expos followed by an original artbook drawn by our artist. The time of expos is now over, and we want to open the chance to get the artbook to the players.
You'll find 50 pages of concepts, stories and in-depth info about the characters, the lore, and our personal experience.
Moreover, you'll find all the original music composed by our friends Humble Student and Francesco Percassi, who believed in this project as much as we did!
We still owe them big time for this. :)
We hope you'll like it!
Spanish Language - Beta
We are happy to inform you that our first community-translated language is out on beta now! The Spanish language has been added to the game thanks to the help of:
- Alexandra Letelier González (Sacred) - Luis M. Robayo (Luincho) They translated an insane amount of lines: we are speechless!
You can access the new language through the language option, choosing the beta Spanish translation. We already tested the game, but if any issue were to occur, don't hesitate to reach us on Steam or, even better, on our Discord Channel:

You can!
You'll find all the info in this topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/555290/discussions/0/1726450077643465554/

The sales come with a couple of updates:
Call for Translators
Little Briar Rose is a text-rich game. Quite text-rich actually! Maybe not the most text-rich game around, but we had quite some fun coming up with cool dialogues and funny jokes, painting a very unique dialogues style.
This, however, cut our legs short when we dreamed to open the game to more than English and Italian (our mother tongue).
Still, some of you reached out to us asking if they could translate the game for fun, so we've told ourselves: why don't we continue living the dream a bit before waking up?
Taking into consideration all this, we've worked on adapting the game: Little Briar Rose is now open to be translated from the community!
But what should you do in practice? Go to this link: http://translate.elfgamesworks.com/collaboration/project?id=300139
Select which language you want to translate it to (If your language is not listed, please report to us)
Create an account for free to start translating!
We have to warn you, though, princes: Our lovey-dovey game counts around 17k words. How cute, right?
As proof of your unyielding valor, any brave soul that will collaborate to this challenge will be automatically added to the game credits.
Thank you!

Update and Backstage
Hello everyone,
It’s been a while!
Did you miss us? We hope so!
We are still working hard to improve the game from your feedbacks, but there were also a lot of interesting news for our team.
However, let’s start from the beginning! Here is a list of changes we introduced in this release:
Changelist
The intro will now restart after idling for more than 30 seconds in the Title
Minor audio bug-fix while building the house
Fixed the camera that occasionally froze in the Castle Map
Fixed a bug where the Princess' room song wasn't starting after loading a save
Unity upgrade to 5.5.2
Fixed a few English typos
Fixed a bug with a fairy sprite that wasn't showing properly on game load
Gameplay improvement of gnome costume scene: It's now possible to change items before going to the Merman. As some users pointed out, that missing choice was pedantic and unnecessary.
Mayor Known Issue: Fishing
The Fishing Game has officially won the "most-hated" minigame award in Little Briar Rose.
We received many negative feedbacks about that part, so we are working to rebuild it entirely, introducing some new and enjoying mechanics to improve flawed design choices.
Little Briar Rose making-of
Our artist started a short blog-post series that explains how she achieved the stained-glass art style of Little Briar Rose.
You can find the first part here:
This month has been an exciting and important month for us. Our game has been nominated in all four categories of Premio Drago d’Oro, an Italian video games award.
We were, and are, astonished by this local, yet significative news. Finally, last week the final event took place and our game won the Best Game Design Award.
We are happy and willing to challenge the bigger world, with this and new projects we are developing, since this is the beginning of a journey we will take.
We would say thanks to all our players that helped us with constructive feedback and support.
Thanks!
The news is now over. Thanks for reading this slightly different news!
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for some small preview that will be released in the next days!
See you in the next update!
Improved Save System
Hello there!
In today's update we'll talk about the save system.
We noticed, thanks to your feedback, that the actual save system gives a bit of confusion. This happens because players always spawn in the first map when the game loads, and it might seem that some progress is lost.
To whoever had this doubt, we assure that all data is just fine.
Nonetheless, we decided to change the fairy save system and develop something less confusing.
No More Fairy Save System
The new save system will get note of the map you're in, so no more backtracking to the first screen. There is also no need to talk to the first fairy to save. The game will automatically save after every action and when you exit the game.
If your pc should shut down or the game crashes for whatever reason, your saves will be fine.
Steam Cloud Is On
As we focused on the "improve save system" task, we also finished to add the Steam Cloud saves. We've had this done for a while, but we waited for more testing. Everything works fine, so it is now out of beta.
Mighty Princess Patch
Princesses graphics have been fully integrated into Mighty Princess MOD. The main feature of the game, the "perma-death", will now have a princess version, along with other minor graphics fixes.
Lastly, some bug fix list:
- Game updated to Unity3D 5.5.1
- Fix workshop page to show all popular mods
- Fix Goblin minigame tutorial
- Other fix to Mighty Princess MOD
That's all for today.
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for some small preview that will be released in the next days!
See you on the next update!
