I can't believe I've had occasion to use this picture twice now... Celestial Crowns has survived two New Years! 

Well I reached my goal, I finished editing/programming Lune's route and sent it off to the testers before the new year! I am actually looking for MORE testers, so if you're interested, please reach out to me via discord (min5880) or email (harlevinvns@gmail.com) and I'll get you set up. It will require reading through the route (about 65K words) by 1/31. The game is about 10 hours long including the common route, which you can skip if you've played the demo before. The programming is very minimal right now, it's just backgrounds expressions and some light music to give the vibe but allow the tester to focus on the story. 

Kickstarter Rewards

I haven't had time to get to the route gameplay video yet, the end of the year was a whirlwind. But I hope to get it out next week! 

What's Next

I am going to review the results from the other route testing and start formulating my plan for the third draft! Which I'll be starting at the end of January once the responses for Lune's route is in as well. That way I can see what needs to change big picture-wise and can make confident edits. 

I'll be putting in more work on a secret, CC-related project that I hope to reveal soon! It's been a little pushed back with some other things that have come up but next week things will be less hectic for me. 

Wishing you guys all the best in the New Year! Thank you all for your support in what's my biggest commercial project yet. I've been so touched by the response to CC and I can't thank everyone enough for your kind words and shares. And of course, getting it kickstarter funded! 2023 was a great year for CC, here's hoping 2024 is even better!
