I’m slipping this one in earlier than usual, because a) I’m so uber excited about the super amazing shininess to follow, and b) it’s Tuesday in Australia, and we’re technically a Sydney-based team (even if one of us is decidedly not on her way to enjoying a summery Christmas). Yes, let’s go with the latter…

With one week till the release date (and Jane Austen’s birthday–hey, they’re both on the same day!), we’re practically bouncing off the walls with sleep-deprived excitement and teaser trailers. So here’s a bit of both!*

This amazingness was created by Jenny, with the game-play section captured (and coded) by Melody. Mr Jeremy Sawruk has been kind enough to allow us to use his original compositions as the soundtrack–many thanks! And, as always, Samantha contributes by spamming (hence her nickname McSpammy–but don’t use that to address her, else she’d respond with unnatural excitement).

If you liked the trailer, please let us know by commenting/tweeting/”liking”/fangirling/fanboying/faneverythinging! And please help us spread the word by sharing the trailer with anyone who might be interested: your friends, your fannish communities, your Jane Austen teachers at school, your Austen-reading family members, your Austen-reading cats, your Austen-impersonators (you can tell them this game is inspired by them), your Colin Firth cut-outs, and so on!

And if you haven’t yet entered our Regency Love giveaway of three free game copies, don’t miss out and do so now!

* Okay, so you only get the trailer. But really, there is no cure for sleep-deprived excitement–it’s a self-perpetuating disease. Be grateful you’ve been spared!
