Ever wondered how the process of making games looks like? Read on for exclusive sneak peaks into what we’ve been up to recently.
Refreshed UI
The user interface (UI) plays a significant role in the game, acting as a frame to a painting. Now that we have finalized all systems and gameplay elements, it's time to enhance the UI!
Unfortunately, we can't share everything just yet. However, we have some exciting updates including new textures, frames, buttons, animations, and icons. Additionally, we have introduced a brand new way to display your inventory and available agents! Take a look at all the details below:

Inventory and Agent panel
New frames and icons
New resources levels 👀
Each agent will now have its own menu.
Marketplace, where you will be able to purchase items.
This new UI is likely to go through some more iterations before the final game release but we hope you like it so far!
Stay Brave,

Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall Development Update #2 - Are we switching engines?
A very exciting progress update on Snowfall this month! Read on to get a little sneak peak of some new animations, concept art and plans for the future!
As our team prepares for the Autumn months and we work comfortably wrapped in cosy blankets, we are getting ready to release a Beta build for all of you to try very soon. Keep an eye on the news here for updates! The Beta version will allow you to play through the first hour of the game, featuring random queue quests, new characters and our brand new management mechanics. We're excited to hear your feedback on these new systems! <3
In the past month we have organised a little field trip to the castle that inspired it all - Malbork castle in Gdansk.
We have gathered some interesting textures, stories and historical facts to help us make the game even more interesting! - Did you know the castle, built in 1400s, had underfloor heating?!
In the meantime, the team has been diligently working on a chapter system. Have been writing captivating main storyline dialogues for chapter III, and also putting a lot of effort effort towards creating numerous new animations that will enhance the overall visual experience.
We also have some lovely concept art pieces for new scenes and some that are already in game!
I'm thrilled to share that the development of the game is going at a fantastic pace right now, and I couldn't be happier to inform you that we are not only meeting but also surpassing all of our milestones and marketing goals. We've been making remarkable progress, and I'm excited to announce that next month is going to be jam-packed with exciting updates. Get ready for new reveals, a fresh and revamped UI, and an epic new trailer that will surely blow you away!
Unity, Unity, Unity🙄
Game development never goes smoothly, and this time is no exception. We have encountered several challenges along the way. Recently, the game engine we use, Unity, announced significant changes to their pricing structure. In addition to the monthly fee, we may also have to pay additional fees based on the number of game installs after a certain threshold. This will have an impact on both Yes, Your Grace and Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall, especially if we decide to participate in subscription-based or charity programs on various platforms. These programs can greatly increase the number of game installs.
We have had numerous discussions in the studio this week, and while we are disappointed with Unity's decisions, we are too far into development to switch engines. Doing so would result in major release delays. We have dedicated years to building our own development workflows and tools around Unity, so this is not a decision we take lightly. However, for future projects, we are likely to explore different game engines.
If you haven’t already, add the game to your wishlist and if you are enjoying these development updates make sure to click that thumbs up button <3
Attention all kings, queens and monarchs! IT’S FINALLY HERE!! We are over the moon to announce the long-awaited sequel to your favourite medieval dad simulator! Dust off your crown and get ready for Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall, a brand-new cinematic kingdom management RPG. Be immersed in the 2.5D pixel art style, explore new gameplay elements and try holding back your tears as your beloved characters face new challenges!
Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall will continue the story of the royal family of Davern. Play as Eryk, whose Kingdom is yet again on the brink of collapse. Get ready to lose yourself in a world full of Slavic myths and creatures, make crucial but gut-wrenching decisions, overcome hardships together with your family and stay alert as there is always someone eyeing your throne.
But hold on tight! It’s not just the cinematic visuals and captivating story that will keep you playing turn after turn. Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall will include brand-new management gameplay that will challenge your strategic prowess. A randomised queue of petitioners will always keep you on your toes, and with more than one solution to satisfy each character, you’ll never run out of options. Keeping your resources balanced will prove more challenging, but worry not - you’ll have an Advisor by your side who’ll always remind you - not everyone has the Kingdom’s best interest at heart…
Are you brave enough to step into Eryk’s shoes again?
Get hyped with us and the rest of the community by wishlisting the game and joining our Discord, where you can chat with the devs, ask us questions and follow the development!
(we can't stress enough how helpful every wishlist is 💗)
I hereby invite you to the first hearing of this year where we will listen to the common people and decide if they’ll have food on their table or if they should better step up their common-people-game in order to be a good tax payer. Just kidding, they’ll all be treated just fine by ME - Your Grace! Just what the name implies I’ll be ruling very gracefully over the king... queendom I mean. Gather around and bring your finest gloves, favourite dish and a little bit of time because we will give out some precious treasures to keep this royal ritual alive: Tending to your peasants’ queue on weekdays. (or weekends)
🎉 Yes, Your Grace turned 2 this month! To celebrate this big milestone, we invite you to a fun little get together around the throne TONIGHT – Thursday 6PM GMT here on Steam. As a big thank you we’ll give out gamekeys if you actively join the chat... I mean converse in the throne room with us! We can’t wait to see you there!
💖We’ve had ~435,000 players since the story of Grevno's royal family started to unwrap itself on your personal devices, in the two years that passed. Until this day many lovely stories, feedback and thoughts around the game reach us and we couldn’t be more thankful!
📒 Knowing that the struggles of our little family would touch so many hearts keeps us moving forward. The Yes, Your Grace fanbase is still alive and thriving - if you want to know how the story continues you might want to pick up the first anniversary comic from last year which comes with every Steam copy!
👑 The story of Eryk and his family is very personal and shapes itself through the player's game style. Find out if your kingdom will flourish and what kind of King you want to be: In this kingdom management RPG, petitioners will arrive in the throne room each turn to ask for your advice and assistance. Decide whether to help them with their problems, or to conserve resources for more important matters. Remember: supplies are limited, and not everyone has the kingdom’s best interests at heart...
Thank you all for your support! 🥰 Brave at Night & No More Robots xoxox
