Prism Nova

I wasn’t happy with the way I currently cell-shade models and thought this would be a perfect excuse to experimented a bit with shader nodes. With some trial and error I found a way to mix two different textures together for the lights and shadows. Her model isn’t affected by lighting, but instead uses lights to tell if she should use her darker color palette or her lighter color palette for any given point on her model.

Basically her model defaults to her “shadow” textures, which are darker colors. But anywhere that she’s hit by a light source it then instead uses her “light” textures upon rendering. This system gives me complete control as I get to manually assign every color, as well as do neat tricks like with the lines in her hair.

A very kind-hearted witch who has a knack for winning people over with her bubbly personality. She loves cute dresses and runs a shelter in her home where she cares for sick or injured animals. After nurturing a cloud dragon back to health, the two became best friends and the creature is very protective of her.

Cute Witch dislikes heights and confrontations. As such she lets her dragon friend do most of the fighting. The dragon hides in clouds before lunging out at the player, and his wings change color depending on what attack he's going to use next.

Being the youngest of 9 children, Neko Witch was often left to her own devices growing up. She joined the order with the promises of community and adventure, and acts as their main financial backer. Despite this most of the other members can't stand her due to the fact that she constantly makes cat puns. Yeah, she is just the worst kind of person. 

In battle Neko Witch has very low health, but she has the unique ability to revive herself when defeated. Every time she does so her speed and magic capacity increases, causing an initially easy fight to become a flurry of paw-erful attacks... Sorry, couldn't resist.

The land of witches is a vast one; with many varied landscapes to traverse. Throughout all these lands you will find odd little creatures called Esps. They are believed to be the physical embodiment of magic itself. These friendly little fellows tend to live social lives and are typically curious towards humans. The Order of Evermore, however, has made a bad habit of imprisoning Esps to harness their magic.

Celeste can find captured Esps on her journey. Freeing one will have it join her for the rest of the level, shooting enemies and acting as an extra hit if needed. There's also rumor of an Esp city, where travelers can trade in special medals for rare power ups.
