[p]Hello Scribes! [/p][p][/p][p]This is NOT an April Fools joke, we promise. [/p][h2]TOMORROW we're finally revealing the RELEASE DATE for Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts![/h2][p]The wait is almost over. Get your ink and quills ready![/p][p][/p][p]Pssst... We will announce the release date regardless of the number of upvotes here, but we are genuinely thankful for every reaction! [/p][p][/p][p]Can't wait to welcome you to your new scriptorium. See you tomorrow! [/p][p]Your Yaza Games and Mythwright Teams[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Hello, Scribes! [/h2][p]As promised, we’re back with a short and sweet update following Steam Next Fest. As you know, we recently announced that Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts surpassed 100,000 wishlists on Steam! 🎉 Thank you once again for your incredible support (pssst... thousands more joined over the weekend, and we’ve already hit the 108,000 mark. You guys are amazing!).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Here are a few key numbers that show just how great Next Fest was for us, all thanks to you:[/p]

• [p]Over 35,000 Steam users picked up the demo![/p]
• [p]We hit a peak of almost 500 concurrent players during the festival![/p]
• [p]176 Steam reviews have been submitted, with a 175 being positive and that’s a jaw-dropping 99.43% positive rating![/p]
• [p]Scriptorium was in the top 2% of ALL Next Fest demos in terms of daily player count! That stat is honestly our favorite.[/p]

[p]We might not be the biggest game out there, but we are certainly one of the most loved. For a team of devs who truly love what they do, this kind of support means the world. Thank you for making our work so meaningful![/p][h3]Announcement: The Scriptorium Demo is here to stay![/h3][p]Many of you asked what would happen to the demo after Next Fest. Would it be temporary, like the Playtest last summer? Before making a decision, we wanted to see how you’d react. Because your feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive, we’ve decided to leave the demo available![/p][p]That’s right - the demo is here to stay for the foreseeable future. If that ever changes, we’ll let you know well in advance, as we don't like unpleasant surprises. We’d love for you to keep playing and creating the incredible artwork you’ve been sharing on social media (we seriously love your creativity!) - so relax, grab a nice cup of coffee or tea, and return to your Scriptorium to create your next masterpiece (and yes, we know the demo asset limit is a pain, but just imagine how rewarding the full version is gonna be!).[/p][p]Before we go, we want to show you a couple of artworks we thought are amazing - it's not possible to show you every beautiful one, as you made hundreds or thousands of them, but we are proud of you all!)
(kudos to authors of the below artworks: Nimrodel78, BeezKnees1, Lord Vess III, Eskilinha, Handie, Strigoi in Early 20’s - you guys rock!)[/p][p][/p][h3]What’s next?[/h3][p]The dev team is currently hard at work on Scriptorium full release version. We are reading every bit of feedback from the demo, discussing it, and deciding how to make this the best medieval art game possible - one that will make you proud![/p][p]Thank you for your amazing support. We love you! ♥️[/p][p]Your Yaza Games and Mythwright Teams[/p]

[h2]Hello, Scribes! [/h2][p]Woah... Next Fest is fully underway! Thank you so much everyone for playing our game and all kind words of feedback. Today we have some truly breathtaking news to share with you today. While we’re usually busy in our office working on the full version for you, last night we had to stop everything and just stare at the screen in disbelief.[/p][p]Ahem... Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts has officially surpassed 100,000 wishlists on Steam! 🎉[/p][p][/p][p]For a relatively small indie team working on a niche game about the art of medieval illustration, this "100k magic number" felt like a distant dream for a veeery long time. We are beyond grateful to every single one of you who wishlisted the game! You are the reason why we keep grinding, as with each wishlist we feel you just want to experience the life of medieval scribe in our game. Seeing that you truly "get" the cozy, medieval vibe we’re going for is the ultimate fuel for our development. Thank you![/p][h3]Raising the Bar and 100% Positive Reviews (so far)![/h3][p]We’ll be honest - hitting that 100k wishlists mark is incredibly exciting (and rewarding), but it also feels like a huge responsibility. We know that this level of interest sets a very high bar for our full release. Please know that we are more committed than ever to making sure that Scriptorium full release will be as polished, cozy, and rewarding as the demo you’ve been enjoying![/p][p]And this? 100% positive Demo reviews?! We are speechless. Thank you so, so much![/p][p][/p][p]If you're reading this - please consider leaving Scriptorium Demo a review, too. It takes a short while, but for us it's sooo important - it affects the game's visiblity and gives us a lot of necessary info (we read every review!) about what you think about Scriptorium. That honestly means the world to us as we just want to make a great game for you all. [/p][p]You can leave a review here:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h3]The Demo is Still Live![/h3][p]If you haven't had a chance to visit the scriptorium yet, the demo is still live and free to play on our Steam page as part of Next Fest![/p][p]We are still in the process of gathering feedback, so if you’ve played it, please let us know your thoughts! What felt great? Was anything confusing? What would you love to see in your future workshop? There is still time for us to adjust our dev plan based on your insights. Please drop us your thoughts either in the comments, or on Steam forums. We read everything![/p][h3]What’s next?[/h3][p]Now that the celebrations are over, we’re heading straight back to the "dev cave" (or the scriptorium, technically) to finish the remaining work. We have some exciting features to wrap up before our release later this year![/p][p]And pssst... on Monday we will have a little announcement for you (no, not the release date... yet 😅), that we are sure will bring a smile on some of your faces![/p][p]Thank you for keeping this community alive with your amazing artworks and for being the most thoughtful community we could ask for. ♥️[/p][p][/p][p]Stay safe & warm out there! [/p][p]Your Yaza Games and Mythwright Teams[/p]
