I'm so grateful you're eager to try our game! :) We're just waiting on Steam to give us the okay and then our demo will launch on both Steam and Itch.io - along with our Kickstarter funding campaign. :D

Oh my goodness, that birthday art is BREATH-TAKING and I loved reading all of your updates as well. Your whole team is working so hard. Cheering you on from where I am! <3 

Congratulations on your demo release! I had so much fun playing this game and meeting your charming and quirky cast! Yunie is such a fun, lovable, and relatable character. I'm hoping she gets to live out her master detective dreams in the full game. Good luck and I look forward to supporting you on Kickstarter!

Thank you so much! I am so glad you love Regina on the cover of The Villainess Wants Her Prince to Live! She's such a fun, proactive villainess that I really hope you'll enjoy her antics. You can read about her on Royal Roads or on Archive of Our Own!

Congratulations on your demo release! I look forward to seeing more of this game later! Celeste is a very lovable character and I'm very intrigued by what kind of relationship she could have with Noah given how, ah, MIXED his feelings are.

Plus, I am thrilled to see another dev making an isekai game. So excited to see how this develops over time!

Thank you so much! Our furry kitty friend Voya is our favorite villainess of all, even when she goes for our ankles. XD

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoy Jane's looks! She's so pretty and I absolutely adore her. Fingers crossed, we can afford to get even more pretty outfits for her once the Kickstarter drops. :D

Thank you so much for hanging in there with us... I can promise you that we're adding so much cool stuff to our updated demo after going through the beta demo comments. Get ready to see things you have NEVER seen before in a visual novel. :D

Fantastic to see the amazing progress you are making. I so look forward to the full game!

I absolutely love it and cannot wait to see how you deal with Servant's... er... *uncanny* presence in the actual demo. I can safely say there is *no* other LI in any other visual novel quite like them...

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so excited to show you more villainess action in our upcoming demo this summer... 

And our female love interest is amaaaaaaazing but I literally cannot say anything about her without giving away spoilers. You'll catch some interesting glimpses of her in the updated final demo though... glimpses that will show just how important she is to the story and to the villainess herself...

Thank you so much! We are so excited to share more of our game with you and everyone else this summer. We're revamping our demo to include a beautiful new music video and fun new secrets from the beta test. It will be amazing! <3 

This was absolutely marvelous and adorable. What a lovely treat of a game!

I'll do my best to keep hanging, hahaha. We developers sure love putting ourselves through stressful times. XD

The new CGI looks so fantastic. I am so excited to see the upcoming revised demo -- it's always so much work but I know it's going to look amazing.

Thanks also for being part of our Magic & Mystery cross-promotion - it's truly a pleasure to work with you!

Thank you so much for considering us - I really hope you will try our demo first and see what you think of the game. We would love to get your opinion when we release it. :) 

Thank you so much! We are so excited to share the demo with you later this summer... we're packing in so many fun little easter eggs based on beta-tester feedback!

Thank you so much for being interested in our game! We'll have to let you know about the price later (still working that out!) but it definitely won't be OVER $30. Plus, when we open our Kickstarter campaign, we'll have an early-bird discount price. I hope that help! :)

The work you've put into Silent Kingdom is stunnning. I cannot wait for the new CGIs! 

I would suggest leaving up the demo because that way, people can get a taste for your game without buying it. On steam, if people buy your game and then refund, you *still owe Steam its 30% cut!!!* So you will lose money if people refund your game!

Of course, there's no way to keep all people from refunding your game but if you have a demo up, then some people might choose to play your game and just not buy/refund it if they don't like it for whatever reason. So it gives you a little extra barrier against a high refund rate (which again, is a pain because Steam will take its 30% cut even on refunded purchases). 

And thanks also for the shout-out to the amazing games in our Itch.io bundle. I am so thrilled to be partnering up with you this summer to show our beautiful games off!

Thank you so much - we truly appreciate your support! <3 

I love that you're creating an otome game that teaches people about otome games... and I know you're going to bring your insanely fun sense of humor to things as well!

Thanks also for that amazing shout-out to our Mystery & Magic Otome game cross-promo. It's such a pleasure to work with you - and I love the way you revised the banner also. The color scheme is so fun and looks great on your page!

I'm so excited to share more with you all very soon! :D

Thank you so much for asking! We tested our beta demo with many amazing players this January/February. The revised demo, along with some *very* fun extras, will be available this summer, along with our Kickstarter campaign!

This is such fantastic news. I'm so excited to see more of these lovable characters, especially Cameron!

As always, you do such amazing work. I'm always in awe of your word count! I also absolutely think you should release only when you feel ready to.

Wishing you lots of love and luck with health issues as well... I know how stressful those are. <3 

Thank you so much for your lovely words! Emily and I are so happy to know you enjoyed the demo and that you're excited about many things to come. There are so many great otome isekai novels that we just can't resist perhaps adding to that number... ;)

Thank you so much - we are over the moon to have reached 5k wishlists on Steam so quickly! <3

This is horrific and I love the twist at the end. So chilling!

This was wonderfully terrifying!

Ooooh, that's amazing! Feel free to let me know when you'd like me to play-test... I'll make it happen for you. :D

Congratulations! This looks fantastic and if I can scrape up the time, I'd love to playtest. You're doing an amazing job and the animations look great!

Thank you very much for your interest in our game! Our villainess main character, Jane, actually has a fixed background and racial identity (she is of mixed Asian and white background) that is relevant to the plot later in the game. You will have other ways to customize your identity as part of the game however! ;)

Thank you so much! We're so excited to share more in our upcoming newsletter. Those Valentine's Day cards were a lot of fun to create. :D

I am so excited to share more with you soon once our public demo is out. Thanks for the lovely comment!

Congratulations! I am SO excited to romance Cenric. He is just too adorable for words!

I hope you don't mind me sharing the news with r/otomeisekai too - I know a TON of villainess isekai fans there will be excited to play this game. Hoping you get lots of new fans from there. <3 

I'm so sorry but our game is not available on the phone. We are excited to have you playtest our Windows, Mac, or Linux builds though. Feel free to contact me at contact @ bestlaidplans . net if you need further support!

Hi Hellcatinnc. I'm so sorry to hear that! I believe the problem is that you did not confirm that you are a part of the mailing list - which may be because the confirmation email got stuck in your email's spam box or in your social/promotions/other folder (if you have a gmail account).

Can you please send me a short email over at contact @ bestlaidplans . net (no spaces)? I will onboard you and send you the data for the beta demo. Again, I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this!

Your team has achieved so much given all the barriers you have encountered! Game development is a marathon, not a sprint, and you have made amazing progress in terms of your art, your programming, and your writing. I can't wait to play the demo... but of course, please take your time. What matters most is that you produce work you're proud of, not work you feel rushed to do. <3 

Good luck and thanks so much for the mention - it is so sweet of you! <3 

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! Can't wait to test with you! <3
