I am going to have to be sedated because @ccpowo just drew me the most gorgeous portrait of my @infamous-if MC Eden performing- please go to their page and commission them! They were amazing to work with brought everything I wanted to life perfectly! I will be staring at this piece in awe for the next century.❣️

ANOTHER TWC illustration with my OC, Det. Val Batra! This one is with Douglas ✨

The quote is from Murder on the Orient Express (2017), where Hercule Poirot says "With your hobbies, you will never amount to anything." and Bouc reples "God, I hope so. Hmm." The exchange was very Val and Douglas in my mind, so I had to draw it!

Really brings me back to Book I - Chapter I. My VB was like "Mayor's son or not, he still has to follow the rules. Take the phone." but then by Chapter II Val gives back the phone and apologises for keeping hold of it so long. Poor Douglas 😣

For Douglas' design I based on @valentinesdayinaugust2 (my personal favorite), this reblog from @rockboci, and this amazing Tarot card from @kruk-art! I wanted to make him handsome, but also childish and kinda messy. Almost forgot the freckles too! I used PY's 주근깨 브러쉬 freckles.

I thought about making Douglas' controller the one from his instagram posts. I like to think he connects it to his phone. In the end I didn't, but I liked the idea, so I used the profile picture colors for his phone-case.

I regret missing out on Douglas' character development- I just didn't see my detective going out with Tina to party (Val is very introverted), and later I realized it was the dividing point between Douglas' and Bobby's routes. It was like choosing between Tina and Verda's route when revealing the supernatural. I hope in later books the detective gets choices that are more 'in line' with Val's personality, so I can get to see more of Douglas and Tina!

The exclamation mark is JonKou's QUEEE, and the brushes are eXpressure NT FREE by Zhillustrator (specially Soft Graphite & Dynamic 5B). They really have the vibes I picture when I imagine TWC.

New Chapter Released!

Hello again! Hope your winter has gone well ❄️

With the public release of this new chapter we’re continuing with the Crown's development as a monarch, while romance and courtly intrigue build further:

Friendship scenes to deepen your Crown's relationship with the other characters outside of your main love interest

Diverging paths depending on whether you chose to meet the peri trader in disguise, or arrange a meeting with Kham instead

Within those diverging paths, you will make further decisions on how to handle the peri trader and/or Kham, with big consequences for future chapters

Romance specific scenes, of course, with your chosen love interest!

A and R both have very different scenes for their high romance and low romance routes! D and X romancers are in the clear... for now

If you find any coding errors, typos, pronoun mistakes and such while playing, you can report those through this form! Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter with the nearing end of 2024 💖

For those that are unfamiliar with the game

A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.

Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.

There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!

Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.

Like the premise so far? Play it and give it a try! The entire game is free!

If you enjoyed the game, please reblog! Share it with your friends! Recognition and reader interaction is just about the only thing I get in return for creating it ❤️
