Greetings seedbearers! As June comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to recap some of the major milestones we've reached this month and give everyone a glimpse at what's coming next. Development has been moving at an incredible pace, and we're excited to share where things currently stand.
Celestia Development Update
We're happy to report that Celestia's renders are progressing nicely, with several key scenes already completed and more currently in production.
Alongside her renders, we're also making excellent progress on her in-game sprite work. Celestia will play an important role within Lustrya's tavern, helping bring one of the castle's busiest social hubs to life through unique animations and interactions.
As a reminder, Celestia is based on the original character created by ParagonUnity, founder of OppaiCon, and we're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with one of the largest NSFW anime conventions in the United States.
If you're interested in supporting the convention or learning more about the event, be sure to check out www.oppaicon.com
We're looking forward to sharing more of Celestia's implementation very soon.
Milking System Update – Miriku Complete
Another major milestone has been checked off the list! With Reia, Violyn and Miriku now finished, we're moving directly onto Seraphina's final set of milking animations. Once her sequence is complete, all Phase 1 Lustress milking animations will officially be finished in preparation for Early Access!
Character Showcase – Paprika
Our travelling merchant continues to come together beautifully behind the scenes, and today we're showcasing some of Paprika's latest renders. We've also seen quite a few questions regarding whether Paprika will eventually receive her own H-scenes.
The answer is: we've got some ideas.
While we're not quite ready to reveal specifics yet, we think players who have been asking this question are going to be very pleased with what we have planned.
Reia Chapter II Web Comic
To finish things off, we're happy to report that Reia's Chapter II web comic is entering its final stages of production.
The artwork itself is complete, and we're currently focused on polishing colors, lighting, textures and final presentation details before release.
Our current target release window is Mid-July.
Once Reia's Chapter II is released, we'll immediately begin shifting focus toward Violyn's and Miriku's story chapters, allowing us to continue expanding the lore and personalities of each Lustress beyond the game itself.
There's a lot of exciting storytelling ahead, and we can't wait to share it with everyone!
