Chronotopia December Update: Kiss my lips
I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season! As usual, there’s no snow in Brittany but it doesn’t really bother me: as long as I can eat delicious food in good company, I’m more than happy ;).
That being said, Christmas or not Christmas, the team is still working on Chronotopia: Second Skin regardless! In particular, Meles has finally finished translating the bear ending and is now tackling the very last one, the fairy ending. As for me, I have edited about 2/3 of the B2 route’s translation: as expected, it’ll likely be ready sometime in January. My goal is still to catch up with what’s already scripted so the percentages should increase way more once I’m there. Writing is done, music is done, translation is almost done, so I can’t wait to make significant progress with scripting and editing as well. After this long and slow year, 2019 is going to be a breeze in comparison!
The artists didn’t stay idle either: @jubberry and @adirosa have completed one illustration and are currently working on a second one. And not just any illustration~ Yes, this is finally Nahima’s romantic CG, a tender kiss. Obviously, you can only unlock it by choosing her ending but it looks so cute, how could I not share it with you? In truth, finding a good angle was slightly delicate but, ultimately, I think it was worth it. Kinda makes you feel bad about choosing the other endings though!
Speaking of the other endings, guess who’s back? That’s right, PyriteKite is working on a few new assets for Chronotopia’s endings as well: one is already finished and another is in progress. Those are mostly extra backgrounds related to the fairy kingdom since I had not planned that the fairy’s ending would be that eventful (compared to my very first draft, it’s still not as bad as the bear ending). Of course, I’m not going to show all of them but I think this one is worth taking a look at. Those colors are just to die for! It makes you want to play that ending just to be able to go to the magical kingdom, right?
Which one to choose? Nahima’s ending? The Fairy’s ending? Both are similar yet very different! In any case, I hope those pictures make you curious about Chronotopia’s full content~ And since, I had promised it last time, here’s one of the archives I recently worked on. All-kinds-of-fur is honestly a big inspiration of the B2 route but it’s not the only one.
We’ve accomplished a lot this year, despite some ups and downs, and I have a feeling that this time around will be the right one. I’m crossing fingers: may luck be with us. See you all in 2019!
