Have I ever mentioned that we're turning X Caeli into a visual novel atm? Basically, the flow of the game becomes "some space shooting > some extreme romancing > moar space shooting > moar romancing". Joking a bit about extreme romancing, ofc - I'm more focusing it on the delirious humour. With a good dosage of ecchi included, though it's mostly visual - I'm a highbrow kind of a guy so it's gonna be a highbrow ecchi. With eldritch deity as the main protagonist (wanking schoolkid senpais may go fuck themselves) and the entire cast being relatively adult (mentally, at the very least) and not absolutely focused on senpai noticing them.
With some pleasant references too - one is a rogue psion called Bayra (rememer Bayra, if you know what I mean), another is the augmented ninja Jessie Dent (here, the artist himself has gone rogue so there's not much physical similarity; well, at least I'll make her cosplay as him - we'll have a chapter where everyone does cosplay), the drunken inventor Milly Gallagher... Yeah, I've totally "borrowed" the titular character from the Henry Kuttner Gallagher's series (gender-swapping him in the process, of course), but it's not like lotsa people read them nowadays.
Don't want to show much atm (we'll be releasing somewhere around next summer so it's kinda too early for that), but I'm really liking the sketch of the week (that's our speed - one sketch per week) so here's its work in progress mode. For those who'll get the reference - the trick here is that our protagonist is made from such starry darkness and the picture is the result of psion trying to read his otherworldly mind.
