Hello, friends!

We’re happy to share that Vivid Tale is taking part in the Ancient Costume Game Festival on Steam.

Vivid Tale is a cozy JRPG set in an alternate version of Russia — featuring turn-based combat, beautiful voice acting, and a story shaped by your choices.

If you haven’t tried it yet, the demo is available now. Play it and tell us what you think — your feedback helps us make the game even better.

Let’s start with something close to our hearts — the costumes of our idols.

One of the key inspirations was the uniform coat of Second Lieutenant Alexander Talyzin from the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment.
This particular coat carries a unique story: it was worn by Empress Catherine II herself when she set out to overthrow Emperor Peter III.
Talyzin’s timely “contribution” didn’t go unnoticed — his career quickly took off, and he later became a senator and a prominent statesman.

The coat itself dates from the late 18th century, though the style traces back to Peter the Great’s era — similar designs were used in the Preobrazhensky Regiment.


Next, let’s talk about our Prince Bogdan.
His outfit is based on a 17th-century field costume of a tsarevich — though with a little historical twist.
The version we used actually comes from 1903, when Grand Duke Mikhail Romanov (the would-be heir to the throne) wore it to a masquerade ball celebrating the pre-Petrine era.
That costume was a near-perfect reconstruction of the attire of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich — an interesting example of how history sometimes recreates itself.


Moving on, let’s briefly mention the attire of background characters.
In the prologue, events unfold during a “coronation,” with guests arriving from every corner of the realm.
Their clothing draws from 16th–17th century regional styles — a patchwork of traditions that reflect the scale of the world.



And this is just the beginning. We’ll return to this topic later — to talk more about costumes, tattoos, symbols, and the patterns that shape the visual language of Vivid Tale.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and questions!

Hi MicroKnights, in today's update I've added a major new feature and incremented the version number +0.1 to mark the milestone (*).

You can now pet the snail!

• Added ability to pet the snail. To do this, stand on Snail and hold the Aim button until you crouch. Then while the Aim button is still held, press any direction to do the various petting poses. NOTE: this will prevent you from shooting any weapon, so release Aim to exit petting mode.

• Shnails will now give a reward after some time of being pet.

• Enemies are no longer is "blocked" by pickups. This fixes seeing them flicker when a pickup is in front of them and they were trying to move.

• Incrementing version number to 1.1.x, to indicate significant improvements over previous versions.

(*) In all seriousness, the version number increase is more about stability in the game and all the Quality of Life improvements over the launch version. Though, being able to pet the snail does seem worth the celebration :).

친선경기 네트웍 변경 처리

Massive change incoming on beta -

• imported more ocean tech/shading from falconeer

• improved lighting even more while bringing it back a bit from the bleak realism.

• Stone houses along walls are at at right angles so things look a tiny bit more decluttered

• whales should go over the edge anymore

big gameplay change..

• the density of housing AND industry is directly linked to the worker access at that location. So hive cities.. yes, but everything flows from your citadels,

• house upgrades are more tied to worker access now, as well as resource access. So at the outer edges of your settlement housing shouldn't spawn higher tier houses if the worker access isn't there.

• income is higher from houses to offset the lighter density in places.

This does actually change a lot of the game,, it requires a bit more thinking to gain more splinters through growth, cuz mindlessly grinding walkways isn't an instant solution, and its not for resources either as you cannot insta-fill a resource area anyway.. not without good worker access. Anyways this came to me from a user review that said the most efficient settlements look the worst. Which was actually the case, this is a bit of a remedy for that.

Now available on beta

The following issues have been addressed in this hotfix update:

• Fixed connection filter setting not working properly

• Various fixes to the Fatality Timer option

• Combos option has been added to moves list for relevant titles

• Fix for MK3 (Genesis) cheat menus not unlocking properly

• Additional improvements to MK4

• Minor localization corrections

• Some fixes to MK Trilogy Training Mode

Additional fixes will be addressed in the upcoming "Online Arcade" update, with more details to be shared soon.
