AKA Space

Ahhh! Another fun question. I live for this.

Tongue boy would absolutely love it and would be obsessed. He would go out of his way to make you call him a pet name. If you say “good boy” I’m pretty sure he’d go feral or melt. If you want to trigger an insane response from him, use “babygirl” lmao.

Him:

I will say that there is an extremely dominant side to him that would definitely turn it around on you. You really need to be forceful when handling tongue boy. I think it’s easier if you're more dominant than he is because he's hard to control in general. Which is fun, but also intimidating. He’s lowkey like an animal 😭. He needs a collar.

All the scripts have been ported to gd scripts. So now the game is officially in all gdscript. No more C#. I haven't started on dialogics (RIP). UI mockups are coming in soon. I've already started getting headaches, and we're not even halfway through the jam lmaoo. The message of my first commit. We spent over an hour just setting things up from the terminal, and I still can't commit. I swear Git hates me. Like I haven't pushed anything since, so all my code is local...

The good thing is I haven't cried yet. Oh! Here is Lune's new torso from Pop lmao.

Welcome to a semi-serious post. Celestine part 2 is kind of on its way to production (sort of) for the josei and otome jam.

It' s a jrpg otome just like Celestine: One to Eleven. It features Celestine and a love interest who isn't Secta. They're gloomy and miserable ♡. These changes are meant to emphasize the many facets of the jrpg for the players to experience. There are more battles, but it doesn't lose its identity as an otome.

I'll give you a sneak peek of the love interest a bit later. I'm so happy about it. I've been thinking about their personality and design for quite a while. I'll give you all a first look and some information on them before their design is officially released to the public. Hopefully, Lune will leave a good impression. I put a lot of time into their look, personality, and job class.

Anyways, I'll ask three silly questions if I may :

What would be the two's favourite spot for a date ?

What would be their overall behavior as partners (romantically)

And what would they give as valentine's gift (apart from wiping out the entirety of humanity, looking at you angel boy 😒)

Thank you for reading and sorry again, stay determined !

Thank you for being so nice! A lot has been happening, so it has been getting overwhelming. I appreciate the kind sentiment. Don’t feel bad! 

Favorite Date Spots:

Angel boy would prefer to take you to a museum as a date. His favorite section would be art between the 1720s-1770s, aka the age of Rococo. Although it seems unexpected that he would like such an opulent art form, he appreciates how expressive it is. If you didn't like a museum, he'd choose botanical gardens. Who doesn't love a beautiful garden? The vast array of plants and flowers is such a lovely setting.

Tongue boy would want to go to an amusement park. For what is life without a little thrill? His favorite rides would be roller coasters. He thinks it's fun when it drops really fast or when you end up upside down for quite a while. Seeing you in fear or panic would give him entertainment (remember that he’s a demon). 

Otherwise, he’d pick a place where you’re as expressive as possible, especially if that expression is laced with fear. Horror movies, haunted houses, somewhere that exposes you to your phobias. He needs a strong reaction from you. 

Romantic Behaviors:

Angel boy would appreciate spending time with you, no matter what you guys are doing. And he'd do what it takes to monopolize you. Convincing you that quality time is what he prefers means you're less likely to leave his presence. His idea of romantic behaviors leans closer to manipulation, obsession, and possessing you. 

Tongue boy would…ummmm. You all can see his design, use your imaginations ₍₍⚞(   ˃ ロ ˂)⚟⁾⁾!!!!! Or idk, write fanfic, what you're thinking is probably what's happening. Okay, let me give an age-appropriate answer. I think Tongue boy would very much show his romantic interest more outwardly. He'd probably want to hug, kiss, and touch you, basically anything to get a physical and physiological response from you. I get the sense that if you’re not interested or into it, he wouldn’t be either. You need to like it for him to like it.

Valentine’s Day Gifts:

Angel boy would most likely give you a music box filled with hymns from his world. Every time you listen to it, you’re experiencing a part of him that he’s never shared with anyone else, and in return he’d ask for a part of yourself too (symbolically). 

Tongue boy would probably get you a gift card to a place you hate. 

Thank you for giving me the nickname idea for angel boy

What would happen if all your VN characters met someone who matched their freak?

Whether it be their "freak" personality or interest or whatever else it may be

I completely forgot about this question! I love the silliness of it! Feel free to ask me more silly questions if you have any. If Demon 1 found someone who matched his freak, then he’d probably be fine just doing what that person tells him to do. As you can tell, his first priority is indulgence. He’s easily entertained, loves to eat, laugh, and do whatever he can to fulfill his hedonistic desires. What’s more fun than being with someone who also likes to do that? In summation: they’d both be gluttonous little rascals doing whatever brings them pleasure.

Can Demon 2 even find someone who matches his freak? I’m not sure, but if so, that person must be terrifying. And maybe a bit unhinged? Avoid someone who matches his freak at all costs, and spray them with holy water.

If Secta met someone who matched his freak... It would just be two overachieving spoiled boys who love the spotlight. Yeah, avoid someone who matches his freak, too. It will probably give you a migraine. In fact, spray them with regular water.

I mean the design and the ending arts are super beautiful and I'm sure it took you and your team a long time, so I just want to ask if maybe in the distant future and if you're no longer extremely busy would you want to continue or make a new sequel about the game?

I also want to ask how did you and your team come up with the design for the two demons?

I absolutely love the two demons but I definitely favor the demon 2 or the feather/angel demon, and I'm dying for more content of him. (Sorry for yapping lol)

[Just for future reference :3]

Question tho: if you could guess how tall they both are? How tall would they be?

Also do they know about each other? Or have an opinion on how the other is?

I love learning about small facts of character >v<

Ahh! Thanks for the obsession! You're so sweet. This is a fun question because I always think about the heights of every character in all of my games. I love talking about height.

Demon 1 is 6’8”/203 cm

He's a big guy.

Demon 2 is 5’9”/176 cm

He's a shorty (relatively speaking).

The demons don’t know about each other, but if they did, Demon 2 would definitely find Demon 1 annoying af, and Demon 1 would think it's funny and would love annoying him and invading his space.

Kinda thinking I should give them nicknames because typing Demon 1 and Demon 2 repeatedly is getting tedious. 😵‍💫

Hmmm... this question was a hard one. Thank you for the challenge!

I imagine Demon 1 having a deep, mature sounding voice, something similar to Sylus from Love and Deepspace.

Demon 2 would have a voice laced with arrogance and gentility. He would most likely sound like Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Secta (from Celestine: One to Eleven) sounds like Aventurine from Honkai Star Rail. No voice fits him better imo.

Hope this isn't too much of a bother to ask (^v^)b

Eek! Thank you for playing it. I love hearing from players, so it’s never too much of a bother. Ask me as many questions as you like. It takes me some time, but I like to answer thoughtfully.

The first demon doesn’t have a favorite Earth custom; he just likes to watch how people celebrate the holidays, since that kind of thing doesn't exist where he’s from. Watching humans open presents, wear costumes to go trick or treating for Halloween, give boxes of chocolate to lovers for Valentine’s Day, celebrate the Lunar New Year, and more, he finds all of it fascinating. He enjoys most music (except country music). His favorite genres would be modern rock, and metal. 

Currently, his favorite song is Doomed by Maphra. 

His second favorite song is Bed Chem by Sabrina Carpenter (which he will happily admit). ~

The second demon is a bit of an enigma. His favorite Earth custom is funerals. In his words: “the fewer humans around us, the better”. For music, he would enjoy white noise, but if you forced him to choose something else, and he acquiesced to your demands, he’d probably say ambient/neoclassical music.

His favorite song is Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears by A Winged Victory for the Sullen. 

I saw both the games your page has, and i thought both were very high quality!

I just wanted to say that when we are making things for others we will never be able to please everyone, but if YOU are happy doing something that doesn't hurt anyone, isnt it better to keep doing it?

I went through something similar with my game, in my case i just took a break from looking at the itchio page and just worked on delivering some fun content for the people who were waiting for the game on my tumblr

I know it sounds a bit idk, too simple to say "just ignore them" but it is honestly what i had to do (and i do know it is hard)

And of course if developing games is not making you happy anymore you dont need to do it anymore either. We dont need to do anything we dont want to. I started making games for fun, if it consumes my life in a bad way, it wont be worth it anymore.

You and your team dont owe people anything (well unless they are like, paying you of course :p). Stay safe!

Omg you’re so kind!!

It’s frustrating when people are demanding more or demanding a game to be written in a way that satisfies what they specifically want. 

I’m sorry you went through that as well. And you’re right, I might just block my itch page and only go on when necessary.
