Hello everyone!
It’s been a week since the special promotion for [i]Along the Edge[/i] came to an end, and we wanted to take a moment to share a quick update and some thoughts with you all.
A reception that truly moves us
We are immensely grateful for your feedback, your messages, and your reviews. Seeing that over [b]80% of your reviews[/b] praise the art direction, the music, and the writing goes straight to our hearts.
Mind-blowing numbers
[i]Along the Edge[/i] was our very first visual novel, originally released back in 2016. What happened this past week is historic for our team:
[b]Over 2.3 million new players[/b] added the game to their library.
[b]Tens of thousands of players[/b] discovered Daphne’s story every single day.
For a small independent French studio, these numbers are simply incredible. You have given our work unexpected visibility and allowed a whole new audience to discover the world of Nova-box.
About tanslations and localization
We’ve received many questions regarding the availability of the game in other languages. As a small indie studio, we wanted to clarify our current situation.
The cost of professional translation services is very high, and unfortunately, we cannot afford it for our entire catalog. Currently, our games are officially developed in [b]French[/b] and [b]English[/b].
Other languages were made possible through specific opportunities:
[b]German:[/b] Fully translated by a dedicated fan of the studio.
[b]Spanish ([i]Across the Grooves[/i]):[/b] Also translated by a member of our community.
[b]Chinese:[/b] The result of a collaboration with an agency that wanted to test their skills on one of our projects.
Join the adventure!
We know many of you would love to play in your native language. If you have translation skills and want to help us make our stories accessible to more people, you can do so very easily!
We have set up a process to facilitate community translations. You can find all the necessary information here: [url="https://www.nova-box.com/fantranslation-howto/"]https://www.nova-box.com/fantranslation-howto/[/url]

One last way to support us: "After the Wane"
One last thing before we go: we have just launched the Steam page for our upcoming title, [i]After the Wane[/i].
If you enjoy our work and want to support an independent studio, the most valuable thing you can do today is [b]add the game to your Wishlist[/b]. Even if you aren't sure about buying it yet, a wishlist has inestimable value for us; it helps us beat the algorithm and gain visibility.
Thank you so much to everyone who takes 10 seconds to give us that extra boost for this new adventure!

To wrap things up, we’ll leave you with this illustration of [b]Daphne[/b].
Some of you might have noticed: this version of Daphne doesn’t actually appear in [i]Along the Edge[/i]... but in [i]Across the Grooves[/i]! If you enjoyed her journey and want to find her again (alongside a brand-new version of Franck), we invite you to check out [i]Across the Grooves[/i]. It’s the perfect way to keep the Nova-box experience going!
Thank you again for your warm welcome, your feedback, and your passion. See you very soon for the next chapter!
