Dimlight Cafe: Update #3


Hey everyone! Whimsy here!

Big news! WE FOUND A BACKGROUND ARTIST! They're so so amazing, and I can't wait to share some of the work in the future. Teensy problem though... Our idea was to release Chapter 1 before June, but our artist won't be available until then. 

Would you guys be okay if we waited to release until we got all of our assets together (probably around late June or July)? Or would you rather be able to read and experience what we have sooner, but with the continued use of stock backgrounds?

It's takin' a lot of my brainpower to think of a solution we'd all be happy with. :'3

As for what we've been up to, I've been hardcore focusing on writing the script, but I'm in a very choice-dependent past-dependent area that's taking a lot of my pea-brain power. Saying that, the part's almost done and it should be fairly smooth sailing afterwards. Cheonbyeol has been hard at work on a Hungarian translation for the intro as well as extra bits and things with coding I've been annoying her with haha!

Experimenting with particle effects!

Q&A

Wanna get to know the bachelors and bachelorettes while the game is still in development? Or do you have a question for one of our team members? Drop a question in the comments or shoot us an email at Celesteadev@gmail.com!

How does the crew consider laws: flexible, or immovable?

Arietta: A law abiding, gold star citizen! She knows laws are implemented for a reason, and she will do her utmost to abide by any set of rules given to her.

Six: Will follow the law for the most part. In very extreme situations, she doesn't mind bending or breaking the law to get where she needs to be.

Doroya: Doesn't consider the law. Especially humans', but she is also a bit of a rebel in dragon society as well. She is more concerned with the wellbeing of those she cares for than to worry about the majority.

Goro: He's pretty lax with rules and laws because he believes more in personal "creeds" and standards to which an individual holds themselves accountable to. Karma will come around eventually if you're an ass, he's found.

Vaughn: He is an upholder of justice, and it would probably kill him to break a law. Sometimes he finds himself as a chaperone to places the crew visits, making sure no one goes too crazy (Doroya and Yorne).

Yorne: While Yorne is decently versed in dragon AND human law (as well as fairy law), he often straight out ignores it when it's too inconvenient. He's surprisingly good at manipulating the system to make sure he's "technically right" (the best kind of right!).

Don't rush, I'm sure no one minds waiting for the good stuff. Especially since it's not that much longer
