Im trying to flesh out my mc and I was wondering if there are any things u could share about their family. I know so far the mc has a mum, but what's the rest of their family like, will it be up to headcanon or is it set? I was also wondering if they have any siblings. 👀
MC is an only child and I think it's mentioned in the demo but I'm changing that. I realized making MC an only child locks me out of that sitcom trope of the sibling visiting/interacting with the roommates so MC is going to have a sibling! I want to do an older and a younger sibling LOL so MC is a middle child.
I'll likely make them gender-selectable for customization purposes. So MC has siblings, they're canonically close to their parents, especially their mom. Whether MC is close to their siblings will be a choice/up to you :}
Are you gonna tel us what the contact name is for the MC for the ROs???
why you teasing us like that😭
pretty pleeeeeease with a cherry on top🍒
i’m afraid they’re quite boring lol. i had an anon ask whether taking the knife in chapter seven would change certain ros’ contact names and well, no. lol. you already saw what A’s contact name for the hunter is so, the rest are:
Blane: “First Name”
N: “First Name :)”
K: “Surname”
Rylan: some sort of play on the hunter’s surname (A is “Deveroo” and N is “Alvey” for examples)
honestly obsessed with thinking about a romanced charlie when you speed date adegoke and laugh at his stupid joke or ask the horse sized duck vs 100 duck sized horses question because those both feel so much like charlie things,,, does mc have a type?? does it sting to watch them laugh like an idiot at a dumb joke when they should be laughing at *his* dumb jokes? or is it not that big of a deal? 🤔🤔🤔
like we know that if they slept with someone it was tough on him but i just can't stop thinking about that adegoke date tbh. many Thots.
haven't stopped thinking about this ask since you sent it bc yeowch!!
With the public release of this new chapter we’re setting up the Crown’s daily routine as a monarch, while romance and courtly intrigue continue to build:
Diverging paths depending on your love interest, including scenes from your main LIs point of view! R and A accompany the Crown, but what are D and X up to in the meantime?
While the Crown becomes used to ruling, each LI experiences a shocking revelation in their main route, one that will cascade into future chapters
The Crown continues to grow and learn, being tutored in various subjects to increase their knowledge
Tutoring is not merely in theory: the Crown enjoys physical training, as well. Choose your favorite weapon and shape future fight scenes!
The Imperial Court is finally taking shape. Choose certain positions, receive political proposals, even form an alliance, if you have the points…
A few additional changes made to the game overall:
The codex page for the Crescent Blades has been added, including character art! It should be unlocked for all saves that are past Chapter 1
Changed various lore related names, mainly the ones referring to the Major Spirits, in order to better reference the Zoroastrian inspirations that Arsur’s religion is based on
Darkened the background color further to be friendlier on the eyes. Some day, I’ll add a proper dark mode, but that day is not today haha
Edited the Arsurian Calendar to match with the new background color, and also corrected the start and end dates of the months!
Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter with the nearing end of this winter 💖
For those that are unfamiliar with the game
A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.
Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.
There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!
Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.
Like the premise so far? Play it and give it a try! The entire game is free!
If you enjoyed the game, please reblog! Share it with your friends! Recognition and reader interaction is just about the only thing I get in return for creating it ❤️
