New preview build is live!
The new preview build of Cinders is finally ready and available to all pre-order purchasers.
If you bought the game, please check your email for a new download link from BMT Micro. If you are a member of the press willing to do a preview, please contact us and we’ll fix you a copy, too.
The new version includes a lot more story content, along with numerous fixes and improvements. Writing took much longer than we expected, so to make use of that extra time, we got around to implementing some cool new stuff from your suggestions and our own wish list.
Notable changes:
- Branch icon appears when current events are an outcome of earlier choices.
- Every character now has several more poses for specific situations.
- Small face icons were added next to character names for better readability.
- Rewards visible in the main menu for completing various events.
- Auto-play option is available.
- Fast-text option for the quick readers out there.
- Many new sound and visual effects were added.
- From now on, save files will be compatible between game versions.
- Several bug fixes and other minor improvements.
We hope you’ll enjoy the new build. If you have any feedback, please leave it in the comments or on our forums.
As for the general development progress — we’re getting there, but there’s still a significant amount of writing left to be done. We have hired an additional writer to speed up the process. If everything goes well, we should be able to set some release date soon.

Actually, I do have a question. And that is, when will the forums be reopened to registering? Because I would like to participate or at least get a foot in on the feedback bonding stuff.

I re-opened the forum registration so you can sign up. I’ll close it again once you do.
We don’t want to fully open it yet, as there seems to be a huge spam problem that our captcha solution can’t prevent. We would have to find something better, and we simply don’t have the time to do it at this point.

I needed to compose you the tiny remark to help give thanks over again considering the pleasing knowledge you’ve contributed here. It has been so incredibly open-handed with people like you to offer freely what many of us could have advertised as an e book in making some bucks for themselves, primarily considering the fact that you could have done it in the event you considered necessary. These solutions in addition acted like a easy way to fully grasp the rest have the same interest much like my very own to realize many more in respect of this issue. I know there are several more enjoyable sessions in the future for those who look into your website.
