Greetings, everyone! It has been almost a month since The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante Chapter 1&2 release and we received amazingly positive feedback from players all over the world. However, there were also many queries regarding the game itself, its lore, as well as some of the mechanics. [b]Before everybody goes off for the holidays, we’d like to clarify a few important points and answer some of the most popular questions about The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante.[/b] [h3]When will the game be released?[/h3] All we can say right now is that The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is slated for a Q1 2021 release and we’ll definitely announce more accurate information on the official Steam page in due time. Please, make sure you wishlisted the game if you would like to be notified when that happens! [h3]How much will the game cost?[/h3] At the moment, we’re still working on The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante's English localization, so the price has not been set yet. Rest assured that - as an indie title - it’ll be affordable! [h3]Will the saves from the free version carry over to the full game?[/h3] Yes, they will! We're implementing this feature right now. ;) However, if you have an older version of the demo installed (released before the 1st of December), we recommend you update it and start your journey over as it may not be possible to transfer progress from those outdated versions. [h3]How exactly are you supposed to pronounce “Brante”?[/h3] What we had in mind when coming up with the protagonist’s name is that it should sound a little French, thus we typically stress the very last syllable - Branté. But honestly, the game is set in an imaginary fantasy world, so you can pronounce it however you wish. :) [h3]I found a typo/encountered a bug in-game, where can I report it?[/h3] We are well aware of the problems with the text and our team of editors is currently working to resolve them. Rest assured that the typos will be fixed soon. Nonetheless, if you noticed something that needs reporting or have any other concerns, please feel free to share them in the game’s Discussions section on Steam (it may be a good idea to run a search for similar issues first if only to keep related reports neatly packed in the same thread)! [h3]Any plans for a MacOS, mobile, or console version of the game?[/h3] Unfortunately, we’ve no plans to port the game right now but will definitely consider this possibility in the future. [h3]Why did you implement the Willpower stat? I can’t make certain choices due to lack of Willpower points and it is quite annoying.[/h3] Our original idea was to highlight the fact that the protagonist is not an almighty superhuman and his inner resources are limited. Oftentimes he needs to "pay" for the privilege of following his heart. It's all about choice and strategy - would you rather spend your Willpower now or save it for a more important event that may or may not happen in the future? Just like in real life, one has to think ahead and decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. [h3]Will the game be available in Early Access?[/h3] No, we do not plan to have an Early Access launch for The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante. However, you can support the game by preordering it on [url=https://store.101xp.com/brante/en/]the publisher’s website[/url], which comes with a set of pleasant bonuses! [h3]Is there a chance for the story to end prematurely with the protagonist's true death?[/h3] Yes, in the full version of the game, your playthrough might end rather abruptly if you take too many uncalculated risks. That's why we implemented the option to return to the beginning of the current chapter, giving players the opportunity to rethink their choices. :) [h3]Will The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante be available only in English and Russian? Do you plan to add more languages later on?[/h3] The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is twice the size of the “Hobbit” novel by J.R.R. Tolkien and boasts more than 200K words. As you can imagine, it’s an ENORMOUS amount of content in need of translation and editing. Therefore it was decided to release the game in Russian and English first, then, if the title generates enough interest from players around the globe, we will consider adding support for other languages as well. _________ Hope we answered some of your questions and cleared up any concerns you might have had about the project. If your question does not fall into any of the categories mentioned above, feel free to leave a comment under this article or start a new thread in the Discussions section. Thank you wholeheartedly for your amazing support! We wish all of you very Happy Holidays! Kindest regards, Sever Studio and 101XP
