Mini Update

Crown of Ashes and Flames
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello, everyone!

Here is what the update entails:

  • Additional content in Chapter 2 and afterwards (2 side stories that you go through before Chapter 3)
  • Character Codex [ The ROs and other characters ]
  • World Codex [ Geography and Arcana (passt the cult ✨️) ]
  • New look for the Profile section
  • Updated the variables and slight chapter changes

The Codexes unlock as you play the game and there is new content so you will have to restart the game and play from the very beginning.

For a more detailed report look below!

------------------------------

• The 3 short stories I had previously postez separately have been added into the story and they went under a few changes so it is more cohesive within the game.

For example:

  1. Helios apologizes no matter which route you take in the new content in Chapter 2 which used to be The Lake
  2. There is a bit more about Hunter in the 18th Birthday + the wording was changed + a few choices on how MC feels about their relationship with Hunter
  3. New information in the Birthday Ball side story regarding E's family.

• The Character Codex undoubtedly took much more of my time because I kept trying different things lol. I am quite pleased with the RO pages while the others leave much to be desired by me but that will be fixed in the next main chapter update hopefully. I was originally going to add character stories for the non RO characters but I felt bad only doing it for a select few non RO characters so I decided to go with another approach which will hopefully add information into their pages as the story unfolds.

• Regarding the World Codex, it has limited information at the moment but I think it is all the additional information people will need to start speculating in their heads hehe. Again, more information will be added as the story unfolds.

• The profile section felt a bit messy to me so I decided to cut down on words and make it simple and easy to read so that's all.

• I updated the variables for a childhood crush on Hunter and Fadiya + added a new reserved variable which came to replace my old quiet variable which was not being used enough despite it being needed.

Also before when you played the game there wasn't an option to NOT pick freckles/beauty marks so there is one now.

I also added a tiny tiny bit more context to the whole Naima suggesting journal thing + in terms of journal names, I removed the #2 so it is plain Alistair now.

• Fixed some random bugs and typos I cannot remember. If you do find any let me know!
