Celestial Crowns

About this game

Set in a world where they worship the stars, play as the newly crowned Ruling Monarch of the kingdom of Lauté. In ancient times, the Royals were masters of the elements with the ability to spellcraft that made people believe they were gods. Nowadays, the ability has faded with misuse, and the only Royal left known to have this ability is King Aalam of Andromeda. With your kingdom on unsteady ground after your father's recent assassination, this dangerous King with magic beyond comprehension has an offer you can’t ignore: Accept his hand in marriage, or go to war.

A story-driven narrative with stat-building aspects. Make choices to build stats in nine different personality facets, creating your own monarch and giving a different experience each time. Take the throne and find love! Become the Monarch of Laute, and try to keep your kingdom afloat in three branching romance routes.



All 3 love interests have their own plot within the overarching story of Celestial Crowns. The routes will vary greatly, feature 60K+ words of new content, and allow you to visit new locations and meet new characters.

• Choose the main character's name
  
• Select a feminine or masculine body type
  
• Set your preferred pronouns

CHOOSE YOUR PERSONALITY

Your choices will add stats to the MCs personality. Mix and match different traits to shape different scenes and find your ending. Players will have choices based on the 9 different traits shown above. There can be as many as 9 different options for every choice encountered. More stats in certain traits will unlock more choices down the road for endless replayability!



Find your affinity! Your spellcrafting element will be determined by the choices you make in the common route. Throughout the game, you can learn to control ice, fire, earth, or lightning.

  Demo Update

  Hey guys, got that demo update I promised. Some major changes to note: Bellatrix's sprite has been changed to better reflect their voice actor's appearance, per the VA's request. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44013706/abeb345b236cf92a4113b82f0b7869e0795abc2a.png The stat screen can no longer be viewed while clicking through and reading. I saw a lot of confusion in testing over how to close it during choices, so I've added a 'close' button to head that off. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44013706/ceb4ef092881e8d27a9e89cdadf2db9624ce2673.png All skin tones have been added and reflected in the CGs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44013706/bda42300002ade0ba17f56b553c00e48a8e9caf4.png Please report any bugs to the Celestial Crowns discord. Here is the full changelog: Added additional voice "barks" for Lune, Terra, Sahi, Celeste, and Aalam added 15 new SFX added existing SFX in places where it made sense to added additional art assets to ballroom scene added camera animations throughout first 3 chapters created chapter cards for first 3 chapters implemented new skin tones added voice lines where needed fixed bug where camera was not working properly when skipping updated textbox updated popup for increased stats updated save/load screen bg updated preferences screen bg added additional text effects in some places added new theme song added new sad song added new romance song changed music on character select screen adjusted button size for title buttons to ensure the hitbox was working properly adjusted text size of save file names so they fit under the screenshots adjusted Terra's history screen picture to be generic to accommodate all skin tones changed some text for clarity (no trade at all if marriage goes through, the only benefit is they must protect each other when wars happen) changed main menu changed character customization music There is also a new trailer.

  Kickstarter funded!

  Our Kickstarter ended on 10/12/23, and was successfully funded! Not only did we meet our goal, we hit a stretch goal! I cannot thank you guys enough for the support and the encouraging words. Where do we go from here? Development continues! Aalam's route is in full beta testing and I am working on the second draft of Sahi's route. I expect to finish it by the end of October. + I will be streaming the first three scenes of Aalam's route on twitch (harlevinvns) on 10/20! I'll be letting chat choose the answers, so join me if you want a say! I'll be recording a clean copy without all my chatter to send out to Kickstarter backers afterward. + I am adding extra polish to the prologue! In between writing I've been experimenting with new scene transitions, subtle background animations, and planning out extra sprite assets that will be needed for the final game! For example, additional outfits for the LIs in key moments, like...nighttime attire. 😏 + I will also be adding in the new skin tones for Terra since we met our stretch goal! I will share pictures in the discord SOON. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44013706/daa38696c1bb799366b957962127bf3dd9e53c25.png I look forward to sharing more with you all soon!
