Development blog for Crescence Studio, an Indie visual novel developer. Currently, we are working on Alaris, a fantasy-romance visual novel with dragon and faerie lore!
Feel free to look around or drop a question
i dont know if this was asked before but what would the lis look like as cats ? 🤭 👀
hi!! this hasn’t been asked as far as i know hehe 💖 if i had more energy in me i would draw the cat crew together LMFAO
LIs as Cats 🐱
Kayn: really rich red/orange fur. medium fluffy. definitely has a bit of a mane going on. clingy. like those cats that won’t leave u alone while ur working and walks on ur keyboard or something
Druk: sleek black cat with pretty green eyes. very playful and likes to cuddle. loves playing with cat toys
Fenir: those cats that have short gray fur and have humongous eyes and always look scared/confused. is always hiding in nooks and crannies
Etza: those really fluffy white cats that look beautiful and majestic. likes to sunbathe
Kuna’a: disgusting scrungly old street cat. hisses at unfamiliar faces but warms up if u bring them food.
Aisa: orange creamsicle looking cat. little white pawsies and a white belly. randomly chaotic.
I just applied for a new job(same company just different role). So hoping for good luck. So while I am freaking/ trying not to get too excited or nervous I sketched Kuna'a from Alaris. A lot to work on to improve the drawing but I'm actually liking practicing art and actually drawing after so many times of "can't be bothered/ it won't be good enough" and to just draw.
So!!! I played the enhanced demo for Alaris (never played it before that) and I loved it so much it's insane.
The UI??? The atmosphere???? The STORYTELLING??? It's all so beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. And of course, we can't forget about the lovely LIs >:3
To preface, I love all of them for different reasons. Out of them all tho.....I think my #1 fav is Etza. Something about them feels so comforting, like I could go home to them and always expect to receive a hug and a kiss upon returning, even if I only left for an hour to run errands. And the dancing scene in the flower field???? absolutely destroyed me /pos I'm such a sucker for dance, so dancing with Etza had me giggling and kicking my feet frfr
God, if I knew that it wouldn't make this ask 1mil words long, I would ramble about each love interest in excruciating detail 😔
All in all, it was an amazing demo and I can't wait for the final game to come out, whenever that may be 💖

hi hallow!!! this is such a nice message wtf 😭😭😭 im so glad u enjoyed the demo—i’m rly excited for the full game (whenever the hell that comes out LMFLSOAOS)
and ahhhh another etza enjoyer!!!! i remember reworking a lot of their scenes so that their compassion and chivalry (?) cane across stronger. so im glad they have been picking up more fans w this new release hehe. etza would definitely be the type to greet u with a kiss when u come home and ask u how ur day was 🥹
i just wanted to say that i really love your work and i think about intertwine ever since i played it the first time when it was first released. i'm just incredibly in awe with your work and i also follow you on twitter and you are such a lovely presence there and being so supportive w/ other devs ANYWAY BYE
😭😭😭😭😭 omg????? that’s so kind of you anon!!!!! i’ve been in a weird place lately with how i perceive my work/abilities so this was a really sweet (and much needed) message to see in my inbox 💖 i hope to continue to make little games that you enjoy <3 thank u sm for supporting me!!!
and LMFAO honestly sometimes i feel more like a player than a dev. the amount of time i tell other devs their games r cool compared to how much i promote my own games…… LMFOXOAOA im always very grateful to be part of such a talented community. its inspiring and honoring to know so many hardworking and creative devs im always in awe 🥹
Hello!! <3 I’m back from the Starbucks ask! Have you seen the orange peel theory on Tiktok? How would the cast react to the MC asking them to peel an orange for them?
Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.
I should note, I hate the soulmates "we would fall in love in every universe" trope for the aforementioned "where's the tension and interest and really anything worthwhile" reasons. However, "we would find each other in every universe" fucking rips. We would interact meaningfully in every universe but sometimes we are lovers and sometimes we are friends and sometimes we are bitter enemies and sometimes we'd simply both be in the same HOA.
this is so cute. first of all love their names, esp elrhian!! second of all love the difference in their personalities and dynamics with the different lis ahhhh!!!!!
My Alaris MC Headcanons
The problem with Hunter was that Hunter's heart was too soft, too kind, too compassionate. So when Kuna'a hurts him/them, tries to kidnap him/them they don't fight, or struggle. Because Hunter knows the desperation. This person seems desperate for his/their help. And that's why he/they go with them, because if there's even a chance that he/they can help, then they will.
The problem with Elrhian was that he'd seen too much. Too much death, suffering. Too much. And he was so very tired. He'd always been brave, and willing to defend. (The original non MC Elrhian is actually a soldier so lol) and then Fenir came into his life and he started to feel again. Something more than just tired, so there was no way he was going to abandon the one person he found himself caring about.
What would be their go-to order at Starbucks? Like, who would get the most absurd thing ever, and who would just get a straight black coffee?
ahhh thank you so much!!!!! it makes me happy to see ppl giving the cast love 🥹🥹🥹🥹
LI Cafe Orders ☕️
Kayn: something classic like a cappuccino. sometimes indulges in seasonal offerings especially during the holiday season
Druk: not into coffee. he says it makes his heart feel weird. will usually get like the fruit teas and stuff
Fenir: quad espresso. doesn’t necessarily like the taste of black coffee but excess caffeine is just his lifestyle atp
Etza: some kind of tea latte. when they need more caffeine it’ll be a matcha latte. otherwise it’ll be something like london fog
Kuna’a: says he needs a pick me up and gets like a large latte with 24 pumps of syrup in it and caramel drizzle. no whip tho. that’s where he draws the line.
