November Content Poll Results

Celica barely beat out Metatron in votes, with both of them significantly leading over Sam.

Given how close Celica and Metatron were (6 to 5), I'll try to honor both results, I THINK I have a decent plan. We'll see how it goes, lol.

Sarah art design doc is done, but the artist is still busy so not sure exactly when that will start.

November Content Poll

The Ui shenanigans of 0.16 made it hard to REALLY deliver on last month's poll, but I did what I could throughout the Aether training segments to honor it by including lore/plot stuff, and a bit of a new view of Metatron and Sarah.

This month, I'm gonna be focusing mostly on writing, so we're gonna do a bit more targeted poll! Put simply, which girl would you like to see progress romantic...

Divine Dawn 0.16a Release!

Over 1,000 years of hard labor in the snake pits finally paid off! This update took a lot more time than I'd like to deal with the UI changes, but also has... honestly more content than some updates where I had twice the time to write, lol.

Download links updated, download from the main page as always.


Changelog;

-The game has been ported to 1080p. Character should ...

Weekly Update, October 24th

Aether training rework is pretty much done, albeit a lot more bloated than I had initially expected admittedly. LOTS of lore, some plot, some Metatron cuteness, and a fair number of 'schools' (sephirah/sefirah) of Aether magic to fit various builds. More will come for them later.

I've been under the weather for a few days but am starting to feel better, so this week I'm gonna focus on jus...

Weekly Update, October 17th

The first half of last week was the exciting task of continuing to try to un-fuck the UI. More or less worked out; event UI looks decent and is fully functional now. All of the camp scenes have been moved over to the new event UI as well.

The last few days have been Aether stuff, a mix of plot/lore and new Metamoments. Finally got to use her happy smile! Hoping to finish that training rew...

Weekly Update, October 10th

Special thanks to Jiffic for this AMAZINGLY cute fanart of a teeny Metatron being held aloft by Celica! I can't tell which I like better; the idea that Celica would actually be a good mom, albeit a scary one, or the idea of Minitron being a bundle of energy and love.

In terms of game progress, I spent last week on two main projects; upgrading the game to proper 1080p, and rebuilding the e...

Next Element?

With Nether getting a teacher in 0.15, we're down to 3 elements that still need a proper training. Which would you like to see next?

For the record; Wind would be taught by Celica, Earth would be from a new character (who may not make it into this month - not sure), and Aether would rework Metatron's training and rework existing spells/add new ones to bring it up to par with Fire/Water/Ne...

October Tentative Plan

Somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd, I'm going to post a Patreon-only poll asking what you guys want to see in that update. I'll probably keep it pretty vague, like 'plot' 'sex battles' 'relationships' etc, and try to do all of them, but depending on what wins the poll I'll be sure to spend a good chunk of time on that.

Partially I just want to see how you guys like it and how it works for me...

0.15a Update

Download from the usual links, will be updated if we end up needing a 0.15b lol.

Changelog;

Celica now has art, courtesy of Mistimagi! She has 40 something expressions and a few layers of clothing, though some of the uhhh...less wholesome options aren't available ingame. YET.

Ashley's Nether training is complete, with parts 2 and 3. That means that Nether magic is finally avai...

Weekly Update, September 26th

Pretty decent variety of progress this past week. Metatron/Celica/Ashley got a mix of trust and affection scenes, Ashley sex battle is mostly done, Celica art get+made expressions and implemented ingame (art courtesy of mistimagi),  and Metatron now has sleeveless art (courtesy of jfc).

I confess, while I've had fun working on Ashley sex battle, extending the system to add the functi...

Celica Lewd Art Preview

I know you're not supposed to stick your dick in crazy... but I might make an exception.

Friendly reminder that her ass and thighs were forged in the crucible of perfection.

Celica Art Preview 2

Ahhh her outfits are so cute! I love how big the coat looks on her, and good LORD is that bra doing its best.

I imagine her expression in the first pic is after you told her she must be this tall to ride.

Celica Art Preview

One of her expressions isn't done yet and mistimagi wanted to fiddle with her coat and underwear some more, but Celica's base art is done and this is her default outfit under the coat - you can kinda see it even with the coat on too!

If I was gonna caption them, #1 is default sleepy, #2 is TOTALLY HARMLESS and has absolutely no concerning implications, and #3 would definitely be that "it ...

Weekly Update, September 19th

Well, this week ended up being Ashley celebration week, again, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

All joking aside, her Nether magic training is done, as well as a major update to Nether magic abilities + several new ones to use some of the new features. In general, it offers decent damage alongside a good mix of debuffs and damaging statuses, with some spells that hit very hard but te...

Dev Logs?

Would reading about some of the behind-the-scenes setup or planning I do be interesting to anyone?

For example, the process of setting up and going through a commission, or planning out characters or events or quests?

Celica Art Sketch

Yeah, it's just a sketch, but holy FUCK I'm in love and wanted to share anyways. Mistimagi is seriously a god. All hail our new 150cm goddess and her oversized robes!

Hair floofing is allowed as long as you aren't Sam.

Weekly-ish Update, September 14th

I took a few days off to detox from the previous update stress, but still ended up getting a decent amount done this week.  

Redid and finalized Celica design doc (twice) and got that sent to the artist. No idea when I'll have more news there or if it'll be in this update. She has a looot of expressions though, fuck, half of them scary 

Turns out there were a lot more bugs...

0.14 Retrospective and 0.15 Plans:

August was the first time I've tried a monthly update, which had its ups and downs. 


 The good;

-I had the time to work on a number of things I usually don't. The massive upgrades to ability conditionals, scaling, and text is an obvious mention, same with the DoT mechanics rework.  

-I also had more time to plan out and try different ...

-Ashley's Nether training part 1 is done. I'm super proud of it. Parts 2+ will come in a future update.

Ashley Nude/Outfit Teasers

I showed Dat Ash's full Badon outfit last time, this time let's dive into how she looks with less clothes on! As you can see, I have a decent amount of control of exactly what she's wearing, from fully nude to varying levels of halfway clothed, or the ideal outfit of stockings and a choker. In the long run I'd love to get more outfits for her, too.

Weekly Update, August 29th

Been getting a lot of stuff wrapped up this past week; I was hoping to be done by Friday but... yeah that wasn't happening.

Ashley art stuff is now all fully implemented, expressions outfits etc. She's also got her first Nether training, and (in the next two days) should get her Badon date scene.

Beyond that, I have to finish the badon pre-entry plot scene and the badon entry plot s...

Nature of the Soul

There is no known universal, factual answer to that most ancient of questions. Everyone thinks they've figured it out, and some have had good insights, but the nature of the soul and consciousness itself is still an ongoing mystery in the setting.

To those born of the Nether, the soul is the birthplace of emotion, feeling, empathy. Without the soul, there is no meaning in existing; a thin...

Ashley Fullbody Preview

Ashley will upgrade her threads in Badon to a more punk/goth flavored style. I really like the boots, which is not a weird thing to say, right guys? Perfectly normal? Oh yeah, I guess the rest of her is OK too. Especially those FUCKING THIGHS AND THAT ASS, god damn I want them wrapped around my face.

I personally like the see-through shirt design, but can make it opaque if desired - what ...

Weekly Update, August 15th

Well we're somewhere around the halfway point on this month, with ROUGHLY that much done of the update. Maybe a little less than I'd like, this week wasn't quite as productive due to internet and irl issues, but still pretty good.

I guess the obvious part is that Ashley's art is done and I've gotten most of the setup done for it, I'll probably continue previewing expressions each week unt...

Weekly Update, August 8th

I'm gonna try to make a better point of at least posting weekly updates here, but remember I post near-daily status updates in the discord if you want to follow progress more closely!

This has been an extremely productive week - tons of coding and upgraded mechanics. You can read the daily updates for more details, but the most exciting part of the summary is that abil...

August Roadmap

As I mentioned in the 0.13 release here and on discord, I am going to do one major update in August instead of two small ones. This is partially so I can guarantee Badon is actually fucking happening, and partially just an experiment to see what effect it has on my progress.

Release TBA, but I'm gonna aim for somewhere around the 25th-31st depending on when I hit a good stopping point. Id...

I guess also nude, whatever, who cares about that lol. BRUH those tats look dope. Also, I really wanted to show off her smiling 'cuz I probably won't be able to justify that big of a smile for a while yet in-game. I WANT TO PROTECT THAT SMILE.

Yeeee BUDDY. Instead of flat color, we got actual color this time, and her abs are back! Thanks again to Token for funding this, she came out amazing! SHOULD hopefully make it into the next update if nothing goes horribly wrong.
