Time to get back to our regularly scheduled updates.

Thanks for your patience with me this past month. I am back and better than ever! While, as I mentioned, I was traveling for most of January, there's still been some great progress made on Celestial Crowns that I can't wait to share. So let's get started.

Backgrounds

First, some bad news. Saffeine has stepped down from her role as background artist. She had to focus on other priorities. To keep to the budget, I'll still be using the backgrounds she has finished so far, and I have a new background artist who's eager to get started. You will recognize them as the person who drew the concept background for Canis!

Testing

Testing for the second draft of Celestial Crowns is finally over! I have all the feedback from testers and will be reviewing it so I can start making notes for the third and final draft. I'm really excited! All of the feedback was super helpful and very positive. I don't expect to make any major changes. Just some final polish and pizzazz as we go down this final stretch!

CGs 

The CGs are going strong! Erupan has been consistently sending me sketches, which are AMAZING, and I've been posting sneak peeks in the Discord sneak peek channel as promised. She's even gotten to the wedding night CGs...

Once all the sketches are done, she'll work on finalizing them. I WILL share peeks at the final CGs with everyone!

I also have all the skin tone variations for the CGs for the first three chapters (the demo).

Music

I might have mentioned this before but the music is all done, save for the end credits song! I will still supplement the OST with a few commercial-free songs to avoid repetitiveness. If you'll remember, I'm paying for the OST out of pocket, so it's not as extensive as I would like. But the songs we do have are beautiful, and I can't wait for you to hear!

Conclusion

Even with me away, it was still a solid month of progress for Celestial Crowns!
