Ambition: A Minuet in Power

Backer Surveys are Going Out!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 30, 2021 at 08:21:01 PM

Mesdames et Messieurs,

A few quick announcements regarding Ambition, the state of the Kickstarter campaign, and some lovely art, all for your enjoyment!

As we've finally gotten to a place where the designs for all of our backer rewards are finalized, we've started sending out the Backerkit surveys, and they should arrive in your inboxes either today or tomorrow. There, you can fill in your necessary details,  double check your shipping address (if necessary) and purchase any additional add-ons that might catch your eye.

Please keep an eye out for those in your email inboxes!

Note: Our beta will be coming to a close relatively soon. While we'll certainly honor any add-on purchases of a beta key, we can't guarantee how long that extended period of gameplay will last for.

As some of you are aware, we presented Ambition as part of LudoNarraCon 2021 this year, which included a few streams from our team, such as one where our art director Alexandria sketched this lovely illustration, for everyone to enjoy.

Notice anyone familiar?

Mesdames et Messieurs,

 While we've been hard at work on Ambition's beta, we've also been working on Ambition's first new trailer in over three years. After all, so much has changed, and we can't wait to show it off. Now, without further ado, we're extremely excited to present to you the latest and most refined trailer for Ambition: A Minuet in Power! 

While we'll have more updates for you as we get ever closer to Ambition's release date, we couldn't wait to show you this. In fact, we hope that marvelous trailer whets your appetite for even more. Please, share it with your closest confidantes!

The Beta Has Officially Begun!
about 3 years ago – Sat, Feb 20, 2021 at 12:22:41 AM

Mesdames et Messieurs,

Today is the day of our biggest announcement yet! In fact, we've got multiple lovely things for you in this Kickstarter, so let's dive right into the thick of it, shall we?

You read that right! Ambition has been officially cleared to start the beta process, which means that we'll soon start sending Steam beta keys out to all of our backers that backed us at the appropriate level.

For those who aren't aware 'Beta' is the stage in a piece of software's development where all of the features and content are in the game, but the game isn't... smooth yet. To put it simply, there are a lot of bugs, and fixing those bugs is the main focus of this stage of development. 

Our beta backers will be given the opportunity to wade into the thick of the most recent version of the game on Steam and experience Ambition: A Minuet in Power before anyone else, but this version will be a touch rough around the edges. Our beta backers will be able to alert us to any troubles they run into, and we'll do our best to get these issues cleaned up, right away!

If you're one of our beta backers then you should receive these keys, along with beta instructions, from our Customer Support email address ([email protected]) sometime within the next few days. If, after two days, you still haven't received your key, then please reach out to us at [email protected].

If you think all of this beta business is extremely exciting, you can still add a beta key onto your rewards (along with other goodies) at the Ambition: A Minuet in Power pre-order store on BackerKit. Just click the BackerKit logo, below!

As some of you may remember, one of our backer rewards on the Kickstarter campaign was a randomly chosen Ambition: A Minuet in Power postcard! We didn't have finished designs for them when the campaign first started, but we finished them up recently, and I think you'll really enjoy what we've created. Feast your eyes upon all five, below!

Now the only problem is this: shall you mail this lovely work of art to thrill one of your dearest persons, or shall you keep it for yourself?

To continue this veritable avalanche of news, we'd like to all to know about our new publisher, Iceberg Interactive! They'll be helping us bring Ambition to market, and making sure that we have the most spectacular launch possible.

If you'd like to learn more about this partnership, you can do so in this article here.

In addition to all of these other goings on, we even have another musical preview available to our lovely fans! You can find this piece from the soundtrack 'Suit Vaticana il Giga'.

That's everything for this latest update, everyone! If you'd like to discuss your excitement with like minded persons of quality, please consider joining our Discord channel via the link below!
