Weekly update time! 

My updated Patreon is live, check it out here.

Backerkit Surveys

Another reminder--fill out your backerkit survey! There are still about 40 people who haven't.

Community Goals

We have other 600 wishlists on Steam!! This is over halfway to our community goal of 1,000. If we hit it, I'll add another CG to the prologue!

Another community goal is 700 followers on tumblr. We just need 200 more! 

I want to add more discord rewards for people very soon, like custom emotes/stickers!

This week's progress

I have been working on Lune's bad end, as well as a new sprite for Sahi that will be used when he's on horseback for more immersion. It looks SO GOOD! I've posted the sketch in the sneak peek channel in the discord. If you pledged in the Kickstarter at a level to unlock that, GO CHECK IT OUT RIGHT NOW!

I'll be posting the finished version on my socials once it's complete.

New CGs

The CG artist has added the new skin tones to Sahi's CG!

She has also finished TWO new CG sketches that are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and are in the sneak peek channel as well. Unfortunately I couldn't show too much of them due to spoilers, but what is there you're not gonna wanna miss.

BGs

The BG artist has informed me they're working on the first new BG--the dungeon! This will be used for various scenes in all routes, so I'm excited to have it done.

Conclusion

I had some really bad news this week--my 9 to 5 is laying my whole team off due to budget cuts. It sucks, but for the time being, I still have my big freelance contract, so that will tide me over for a while. I'm going to take this opportunity to try and really dig into Celestial Crowns, and since the holidays are coming up, I've decided not to start job hunting again until early next year.

With any luck I'll be able to find another job that will allow me the same freedoms the previous one had (i.e., remote work) so that I can still give Celestial Crowns my all when I start a regular work schedule again.
