| Help me replace my office chair :( | 2023-11-22 | Hi everyone! Coming to you with an unusually personal plea. Much of the equipment I use for NALE development is bought on the thrift, as I try to keep costs really low in order to maximise the budget I can spend on making the games the best they can be. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago the office chair I use developed a problem, and is finally giving up the ghost. I need to replace it as soon as possible before it becomes totally unusable. This is a problem because I've suffered from lower back problems in the past, so I have to get good quality chairs. I'm also a plus-sized, fat-bodied person, which places some constraints on what I sho |

Just wanted to update you all on the state of Chapter IV, and a few other bits and pieces. Chapter IV's written plan is in the late-stages now, with the plot essentially written, but with work to convert that into a development plan. Similar to how previous chapters were worked up, this involves breaking down the plot into a series of consecutive states, working out what assets are needed, and making sure the right evidence etc. exists at each point of |

| IMPORTANT: About Savedata with the upcoming v5 update | 2021-11-16 | Hi everyone! We're going to announce the launch date for NALES1's v5 update very soon. However, we wanted to split this news out into its own update as it's really important for existing fans. The v5 update is a significant upgrade to Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One, which will improve many aspects of the game. After the update goes live, your unlocks in-game will be unaffected. This means if you've unlocked Chapter 2, Chapter 3 or the free-roam mode in-game, you'll still be able to select these when you load up the v5 version, and start from that point onwards. However, these upgrades are so significant that the v5 version will not be c |
| Roadmap Progress - September 2021 | 2021-09-19 | Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you all a quick progress update about the v5 update later this year, following on from our roadmap post a little while back: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1547290/announcements/detail/5291150756569323437 Linux Version is coming soon! Fans will be happy to know that we have a fully running Linux version now, with only some minor issues that are being ironed out. This runs in a newer version of NodeJS (the Windows release will do this also) meaning that performance is much improved over, for example, the Windows release running via Proton. Naturally, this is also the version of NALE that will take the game on |

But we need YOUR help to make that possible. Version 5 of the game (the released version is v4) is intended to go out in November. It’s our intent that this update will contain a number of improvements, such as native Linux support, running on an upgraded framework for better performance |
