First stretch goal reached!
over 5 years ago
– Tue, Nov 06, 2018 at 11:06:27 PM
With 50 hours left, we have reached our first stretch goal
You now get three additional CGs, and best of all, you as a backer will get a sneak preview of one of the CG scenes before release. Just one of the few perks you get for being our early backer!
What's next in the next 50 hours?
We only need to get to AUD$10,000 (USD$7200) in the next 50 hours to reach our partial voice acting stretch goal!
Now now, before you say that's a tall order, we usually see huge surges in the final hours of kickstarter campaigns, so the goal is definitely achievable. Looking at the current average pledge amount per backer, if we get an additional 80 backers in the last 48 hours then we have a very high chance of hitting our last goal.
How you can help:
Let everyone on social media know that our KS campaign is nearing an end:
Don't forget that you can add AUD$15 (USD$11) onto your existing pledge to get an additional copy of the game. Why not get an extra key and gift it to your friends?
And Finally.....
Thank for everyone for your support, we couldn't have done it without you. We will continue to provide fortnightly updates on Kickstarter, and more frequent updates on our Discord server where we will be sending invites to everyone after the campaign is over.
Stretch Goals + Character Spotlight: Lady Argyle
over 5 years ago
– Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 01:55:53 PM
Our Kickstarter Campaign has 12 days left to go.
It's been a quiet week, but let's not let the momentum die down. A reminder to everyone that we still have some fantastic stretch goals, and these stretch goals are not difficult to achieve.
Do you want to see a CG of Eliza, Mel, Alice and Oceane having a coffee party together? Do you want to hear Eliza's voice when you rescue her from a pile of coffee beans? Then spread the word, any help is appreciated!
You can now share or retweet this new update we have posted up. So anyone who has helped share or retweet our posts, you can do it again!
Our next social media goal is for Lady Argyle to have her own side story, but why should you care? Because we believe that every villain is a hero in their own story, and Lady Argyle isn't your typical villain......
For centuries since the founding of the City Of Victoria, House Argyle has acted as the Keepers of the Underworld, doing the crown’s secret bidding of assassination and blackmailing, doing the crown's dirty work behind the shadows.
House Argyle’s History
House Argyle is one of the richest families in Victoria, being one of the first families to accompany Queen Victoria in founding the city, mainly through control of the harbor, where the majority of the world’s coffee trade is conducted.
That is why there is a saying, ‘Whoever controls the harbor controls the coffee trade, and whoever controls the coffee trade controls the world. "
House Argyle’s control on the coffee trade has of course caused much concern among the royal court as well as other notable houses, especially with House Stanley. However House Argyle has always been able to steer away from political landmines by siding with the right factions.
Recently it has sided with the industrialists faction, transforming Victoria into an industrial hub in the upcoming steam age.

Other Projects We Love!
We want to use this opportunity to do a shout out for a friend here. If you're a fan of Phoenix Wright, or detective noir games, then this might be the one for you to back.
The visual novel features fun gameplay mechanics, where you get to be a detective. Investigate scenes, interrogate witnesses, search for informants, and much much more.
The campaign currently only has 3 more days to go! So I encourage anyone who's interested to visit their kickstarter page.
And finally......don't forget we have stretch goals
Getting 100% funded is not the end, it's just the beginning. If you want to hear Eliza's voice, or see a CG scene of all four main characters drinking coffee and tea, then share this project with your friends now.
Every additional backer helps to make this game even better!
Day 6 Project Update. 80% Funding Reached!
over 5 years ago
– Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 10:25:02 PM
Hello everyone, 6 days in and we are currently standing at 80%. We thank everyone for their support!
Currently we've been hiding our stretch goals at the bottom of the page, a couple of people have asked whether there will be anymore stretch goals if we ever go pass AU$10,000 (US$7100).
The answer is of course, Yes. Hopefully if we hit our first milestone, we will announce the stretch goals for AU$14,000 (USD$10,000) and AU$20,000 (USD$14200).
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, we need your help to reach 100% funding. Recommend our project to your friends, share this on any social media. The earlier we hit our initial goal, the better the chance of hitting our stretch goals, especially the partial voice acting milestone that everyone seems to be excited about!
And here is a little gift for you, an animated CG scene. We wish to create more scenes like this for your viewing pleasure!
Make Eliza's Wish Come True!
Social Media Challenge
We are only one point away from getting our Theme Song. We only need 9 more retweets or 5 more Facebook shares to hit our goal. Alternatively, help us find 20 more backers to hit 150 total backers. This will earn us an additional 2 social media points!
Update #3: 72 Hours In. We're Halfway There!
over 5 years ago
– Sat, Oct 13, 2018 at 09:58:28 AM
We've reached 55% funding after less than 72 hours. Thank you for all your support, we couldn't have made it this far without your support!
What is the team working on?
While we want to keep clicking on that refresh button of our Kickstarter page, the team is still working full steam ahead on game development. Here is a brief teaser of the Coffee Auction House we are conceptualizing, from our BG artist Exitmothership:
A brief intro of the Coffee Auction House:
"The Coffee Auction House sits beside the docks, looking over towards the harbor of Victoria. Every Tuesday, hundreds of airships from around the world sail into the harbor, transporting their coffee beans into the Auction House, where experienced cuppers will score each and every coffee bean.
The scoring process is a grilling reality check for aspiring coffee traders. Those that fetch a score of 90 or higher can be sold at astronomical prices, while those that are assessed as inferior will be dumped into a lot, sold in bulk at prices not even enough to cover the shipping costs."
Social Media Challenge
Since we were able to hit 100 total backers within 72 hours, we've nearly hit our social media goal for the Ending Theme Song.
We are currently at 26 out of 30 points. Only an extra 40 shares or retweets away.
For those who haven't heard our Theme Song yet, here's a brief teaser. Music composed by Matthew Clanton, Vocals sung by Jordan Fox and lyrics by Gaia:
