Hello! I'd just like to say that I love your game! (I've yet to complete it </3) At the moment I am in Aalam's route and oh boy. How does he manage to resist Ishaya??? Props to him for wanting to stay loyalto our marriage but I'd pick Ishaya over him in a HEARTBEAT (JOKES haha.. Fr though why is Ishaya a baddie through and through??)

Hi there! I'm so happy you're enjoying it!

This comment almost made me spit out my tea 😂

I had a lot of fun with Ishaya. But he's constantly holding back a lot of himself due to the class barrier between them and Aalam can sense that. He likes Terra's authenticity. 💖

Thanks everyone for your support and if you were a Kickstarter backer, look forward to the rest of the rewards coming soon. What's next for me, I'm gonna go back to my roots and finally finish Arena Circus.

In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy Celestial Crowns. If you play and have a favorite part, it would make my day if you let me know what it is ☺️

If you do enjoy the game and feel so inclined, please leave a review on Steam or itch.io! It really helps get the game in front of more people.

Celestial Crowns is out on Itch.io!

Hello all! I decided to release the game on itch since I don't want to keep everyone waiting for the Steam review. I did submit another build today, so hopefully that one will go through. Thanks for all your support, and backers, you should be receiving your keys today!

Steam Review Issue

Hello all, I’m having trouble with the steam review, they keep asking me to verify the explicit content by providing a separate build but when I did they said it was behind too much content despite only including those scenes. I’ve asked for help with support but they haven’t gotten back to me, so I’m stuck until I figure out what they need. I’m going to reach out to some other devs to see if they have any advice as well. Thanks for your patience!

December Update - Steam Review, Early Access

First of all, thanks to everyone who's supported me on this wild ride. I can't believe it's finally over! The game is in steam review, but I am opening up Early Access as promised to everyone who pledged at the Black Hole tier. If that's you, you should have already gotten an email notification. 

Itch.io users will have a key (the game page will be down for the next two weeks to make this work)

Steam users will have access to a download of the beta build.

If you should have gotten early access and did not, please DM me here and I will look into it.

Fingers crossed the Steam review goes smoothly!

March Update

Hello all! Let's jump in.

Voice Lines

I started using snippets to make inserting the voice lines easier, which took a bit to set up but streamlined the workflow. I also have my boyfriend helping me insert lines now as well, so that I can focus on camera animations and coding in the new CGs.

Programming

I'm at scene 12/22 for Sahi's main route, things got a bit busy at work for me and slowed me down. But I don't anticipate it taking much longer now that I'm getting help with the voice lines!

CGs

I wasn't happy with the first CG from one of the new artists, so I decided to just use one instead of the two. It will make the CGs take a little longer, but they should still be finished in time. It will also allow for a more consistent CG style. 

Two new CGs have been completed, I've posted some WIPs in the discord.

Writing

I don't think I'll be adding much to Sahi's route, I was much happier with it compared to Aalam's. But there are a few things I want to adjust or add to, mostly in the endings. Another reason why programming the main part of the route shouldn't take that long.

Music

I'm poking the composers, I hope to have an update on the three new songs soon.

Conclusion

That's it for me! Not much to say but that progress marches steadily onwards.

December Update

Hello all! A short update while I recover from the holiday, all the VA scripts have been given out and I already have some lines in! From now I'll be focusing all my attention on programming and testing the routes.

I found a new tester! So hopefully I'll be able to beat out all the bugs before release for minimal patches afterwards.

I am still looking for a new CG artist, but there are only a few left so I'm not too concerned, I'm focusing on programming for now and once I have a better stock of what I need I'll begin that search again. I originally had a backup already but that fell through. No worries though, I'll find someone to finish strong!

November Update

Hello all!

I'm happy to say that scripts for all named characters have been given out! Lines are due mid to late December. Now I just need to give out scripts for secondary characters, and voice acting should be pretty much done by the end of the year. 

I was sad that I couldn't afford to fully voice the project, but the partial voice is really growing on me, and of course everyone's performances are fabulous.

That's what I've been working on this month, and I hope to get those last scripts out before we get too far into December and holiday stuff gets in my way. 

My goal for next month is to double down and finish up Aalam's route, so we'll see how it goes. 

Thanks as always for your support!
