Newsletter #50: The calm before the storm

After the Wane · published 2 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello, everyone!

This is the studio's 50th newsletter since we started sending them out (March 2018). To celebrate the occasion, I'm going to host a huge special giveaway, so be sure to stick around until the end for your chance to win the big prize!

Two new interns at the studio

I’d like to start by introducing and thanking two amazing people who recently joined the studio: Emma and Fanette. They’re incredible assets and are producing an insane amount of artwork for After the Wane. If you’re on our Discord, Nicolas, the art director, regularly shares their creations! If you’d like to check out their work, here are their Instagram accounts:

A look back at After the Wane's wishlists

Speaking of After the Wane, we’re closing in on 7,000 wishlists! This is a record number for a game from our studio. We never would have thought it possible to reach such a number, it means that nearly 7,000 of you are looking forward to playing After the Wane, and we’re incredibly grateful for that. If you haven’t taken the time to add our game to your wishlist yet, please know that this is an extremely important form of support on Steam. If you have a few seconds, this is the best way to support us!

Lots of festivals!

We recently participated in the Storyteller’s Festival and Steam Next Fest in June 2026. These two events gave more than 100 influencers and streamers the chance to make videos about After the Wane, and we’re incredibly touched by the kind words we’ve received. We’ve selected a few clips and compiled them into this short video. Feel free to check it out!

We’re already booked for a few upcoming events, so stay tuned—there might be some exclusive content coming your way…

We’ve also added the Pirate Indie Games Show badge to the After the Wane page; it’s a festival we participated in back in June. Don’t you think it’s super cute? Personally, I love it!

A look back at the After the Wane Demo

As for the demo, we’ve received over 30 reviews, with more than 96% of them positive. That’s just incredible! No Nova-box game has ever generated this much excitement before. You’ve shown a lot of love for the rotoscoping and the theme of our upcoming game. We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying exploring Paris alongside Lena and the curious voice in her head… If you haven’t already, please take a moment to leave us a quick Steam review of the demo. We always love reading your feedback firsthand (and it motivates the whole team to make the best game possible for you).

If you have a few minutes, we’d also love for you to take our survey about the game’s opening—your feedback helps us a lot in improving it: https://forms.gle/K92VAHhYZqzUbXnn6

10 years for Along the Edge

Along the Edge will celebrate its 10th anniversary on October 12, 2026… Remember, we made the game free at the beginning of 2026, and more than 2 million of you downloaded it. Just a heads-up: we have a few little surprises planned for the game’s anniversary…

The big giveaway for the 50th newsletter

To celebrate this 50th giveaway, I’ll see you on our Discord tomorrow (Friday, July 10). I’ll be giving away a massive bundle of all the Nova-box games along with their soundtracks! There will also be two Switch/Steam keys up for grabs for two other people.

So don’t hesitate to join us now so you can participate tomorrow!

Have a great week! ːalice_rockː
