Author: Tanuki-sama Studios

BRIGHTON, UK: Indie developer Tanuki-sama Studios are proud to unveil the results of their crowdfunding success; this stunning new visual for the currently-available indie adventure game, NINA AQUILA: LEGAL EAGLE, SEASON ONE!

 

TSS has successfully produced its games on a budget raised incrementally through creating successively more ambitious products, buoyed by support from their community. This string of successes led to the creation of Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One – a title that has, on multiple occasions, held the top spot in several prestigious categories on itchio, and won the “Best of November 2020” award on Newgrounds.
 

Tanuki-sama Studios asked their community to help crowdfund part of the budget for a piece of key art to pair with the acclaimed Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, Season One (available on Windows, Linux & Steam Deck via Steam & Itchio). This outstripped expectations when the funding initiative hit its goal in just 3 days.
 

TSS are hoping that this new image will allow the tiny indie to “punch above its weight” and help bring in a range of new players, alongside the game’s native Linux compatibility with the recently launched Steam Deck (links are at the foot of this release, and review codes can be supplied upon request – simply respond to this email).
 

The game is available here, on Steam, and TSS invites interested players to wishlist the title now:

As well as on itchio.
 

This new image will form the basis of a range of new branding for the game, which will replace the existing branding over the coming weeks.

TSS would also like to inform fans that prints of this image will be available, and they should watch the game’s social channels for this (links at the foot of this release).
