September Update


Backgrounds

I only have 2 bgs to show this month because the rest would be spoilers!


CGs

My CG artist was the unfortunate victim of a cyberattack, and I have not heard from her in some time. I am hoping that she will return soon and let me know if she's okay, but in the meantime, I am just holding tight. The CGs are almost all done, so in the event that she is unable to return to finish them, there shouldn't be a holdup finding a replacement. 

Conclusion

I have really been struggling with my mental health recently, and I was diagnosed with depression earlier this month. I'm doing what I need to improve and I've been trying to power through and keep going on as I had been, but it's apparent to me now that I won't be able to. So I've decided that I am going to stop focusing on marketing for Celestial Crowns and instead direct my attention to just finishing the game. This means that I won't be updating the tumblr or twitter regularly any longer, nor will I be doing anymore drawing streams. The stress of it all was giving me a lot of anxiety and I don't want that to get in the way of delivering what I've promised you guys. 

I will still be updating the Kickstarter page monthly (and posting an update here monthly along with it) to keep you guys in the loop, and still plan on delivering the game and all the rewards along the original timeline (Dec 2025 or earlier). Since I made everything I needed for the game and have already paid for pretty much everything but the last round of voice acting and the remaining backgrounds, the profit from the game is less important to me than my mental health. I had hoped to keep up the marketing efforts so I could make enough in the end to work on some extra routes for you guys, but unfortunately, I don't see that happening now.

You will still see me around on the Discord server, answering questions or fixing bugs. Or just feel free to say hi :)
