Y'all ready for this?
3D Camera
I've got some nifty new updates coming! I have been experimenting with the ren'py 3D stage and it was far easier than I thought it would be. It allowed me to do some camera effects that I'd wanted to try but hadn't been able to make smooth enough with just ATL on the sprites or backgrounds.
I also figured out how to use Flatten so that the ATL doesn't show the characters naked when dissolving 🥲
Lots of new coding revelations! I will not be posting a new demo update anytime soon I think, but this is the sort of polish that I'm aiming at for the final version.
Falcon Punch
Betel now has a sprite! Along with the elusive Andromeda falcon. I hope that this will make it clearer which falcon is being talked about when--as long as let you get more attached to your little buddy! Your falcon can have a blue or red chest.
NSFW?
I have added a choice at the beginning that will let people toggle NSFW on or off, so that people don't miss this option when just starting the game.
Sahi's Route
Aalam's route is in full beta testing now, and I'm on to Sahi's route! I've finished the route proper as well as the good and bad ends, and I'm currently editing the best end! I hope to finish within the next few days and move on to Lune's route.
The second draft of the entire game very well maybe completed and tested by the end of the year, or close to it!
The third draft will be all about polish, copyediting, and of course, implementing tester feedback on the routes, adding things people may have felt were missing, etc.
In the meantime the other artists are still working on the additional backgrounds and CGs of course, so there's still a long way to go!
Min Art
I've always planned to draw the start screen myself, and while I like the current picture it was more of a temporary solution. I've been working on a new start screen! It's about 2/3 done.
Additional Min art will include additional sprite outfits, crowns for Sahi and Lune if they're made King of Lauté, and I've decided I will go ahead and do horseback sprites, as I've made such good time with the writing and should have plenty of time while the other artists are finishing up the art.
Ko-Fi
Follow my Ko-fi shop!
I've been slowly adding the Celestial Crowns merch to Ko-Fi! Right now you can get the stickers from the last Kickstarter campaign and two new wallpapers that are incidentally part of the new start screen.
Kickstarter rewards
I'm still waiting to hear back from Kickstarter about the pledges going through. In the meantime, love letters are being recorded, and I streamed the first three scenes of Aalam's route. I'll be recording a clean copy to send to backers once pledges have been processed!
Pinups
You can follow me on twitch (harlevinvns) to see me draw the rest of the pinups live. We're currently working on Leo's.
Conclusion
All is well on the development end. Thanks everyone for joining me on this journey 💖
