Free Wallpapers for our Steam Anniversary!
This week marks 1 year since we finally got into gear and became Steam Developers, in advance of releasing Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One (which celebrates its own birthday soon, in July!).
To mark this occasion, we've put together a pack of wallpaper images for our fans, which include both 4k resolution 16:9 images for desktop, and high-res images in an aspect best suited to mobile devices. Additionally, we've designed these so they should crop well for ratios like 16:10, or various similar aspect mobile devices.
If you've got NALE installed, these will have come via a small update - you'll find them among the game files in a prominent folder named \Freebies\.
These depict some of our favourite pieces of NALE art that the project has ever produced; art that has been entirely paid for either by fans purchasing the game, or a group shot that was crowdfunded. We're hoping you'll love these bright and colourful backgrounds as much as we enjoyed making them.
Thanks so much, all of you, for being part of our first year on Steam, and we wish you all a great summer!
Crowdfunded art reveal!
With your help, we were able to partner up with the fantastically talented NiahtiArt to create this!
We hope that you all love this as much as we do, and make sure you follow us on Twitter if you're interested in a print - we're going to look into the viability of those in the near future!
And if you've yet to try it, check out Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One today!
Now on Steam Deck! (+compatibility info)
The version for Deck is a native Linux version of the game (the same one used for Linux desktop), and should work fine, even when you set the deck to its most economical power settings.
Reports from users suggest the game should work without any problems. However, we'll list any info we receive below, and will update it as-and-when we get additional info.
If you've tried the game and want to let us know how it went, please leave a comment!

ANNOUNCEMENT: v5 will launch on November 24th, 2021!
The v5 version of the game launches on November 24th, 2021, at noon CST, or 6pm UK time!
This newer version of the game will feature a wide range of improvements, which include...
Character busts for Anya Miller & Judge Tawny
Thanks to our community, we were able to commission additional bust artwork for the characters of Anya Miller (in 3 outfits) and Judge Tawny. These were supplied by a new artist, Sincryart, who came highly recommended by @Koahri1, the artist behind our Nina & Hawke bust images.
You can see more of their work at...

Linux & Steam Deck support
The game now supports Linux & Steam Deck, via a native Linux binary (not via Proton or similar abstraction layer). As well as opening up NALE to Linux users, we've also already had the game running on a Steam Deck early devkit and the performance is looking great.
Name Cards for dialogue
At the request of many fans, we've now added namecards to in-game dialogue. These appear similar to the example above, for all "major" characters. Each one will only appear once the player reaches a point in the game where Nina is aware of the character's name.
Nina's major OBJECTION pose is now animated!
As in the example above, when players perform a major OBJECTION in court, Nina's image will now be animated, courtesy of @KJOEE88 over on Twitter!
Significant performance enhancements & small fixes
NALE has been upgraded to use a much newer version of the nwjs framework, which means the game will perform significantly better on lower-spec machines, and should drop fewer frames on higher spec machines.
Also, thanks to our community, we were able to stamp out a bunch of smaller bugs & typos.
Get ready for NALES1 v5!

IMPORTANT: About Savedata with the upcoming v5 update
However, we wanted to split this news out into its own update as it's really important for existing fans.
The v5 update is a significant upgrade to Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One, which will improve many aspects of the game.
After the update goes live, your unlocks in-game will be unaffected. This means if you've unlocked Chapter 2, Chapter 3 or the free-roam mode in-game, you'll still be able to select these when you load up the v5 version, and start from that point onwards.
However, these upgrades are so significant that the v5 version will not be compatible with savegames from older versions.
Steam Achievements are not affected by this.
In practice, when you first boot up v5, the game will inform you about the change, and prompt you to delete your older saves.
If, for some reason, you absolutely need your saves and want to stay on v4, you should set NALE in your Steam library to reject updates right now.
However, in doing so, you'll miss out on all the improvements coming in v5, such as more character busts, name-cards on the text boxes, Linux & Steam Deck support and more.
We apologise that this is necessary; we performed R&D to try and see if we could avert this requirement, however, it was simply impossible given the nature of the changes to the game.
We hope this won't inconvenience anyone too much, and that you're still looking forward to the new features of the v5 release! That announcement is coming very soon!
