Star Knightess Aura 0.46.0-prerelease-1

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

Whew, finished just barely today but it is done! We are still missing the epilogue scenes in between the Ending Frames but in general, you can now completely play through the game to the Corruption Ending!

Shatter Aura's Idealism Crystal to trigger an event sequence where Aura is given a chance to enter his Domain --- with a different result this second time around. :) There are some turns and twists especially involving Alicia that I don't want to spoil so I will leave the reporting on story events on that and instead just talk a bit about some structure details.

There is a new Recollection Room called "Recollection Room: Endings". It's located on the east side of the Earth Recollection room and requires you to clear any "proper" ending. In this case currently only the Corruption Ending, Soul-Break does not count. Deluxe users can get around this requirement with the new option in the Deluxe Console to cheat open the Endings Room.

Clearing or cheating open the ending will also unlock the Dark Star Knightess costume Aura will be using at the very end, so you can use the costume in a NG+ playthrough.

Note that the costume doesn't work with "Earth" hair due to various small inconsistencies from Earth Aura and Isekai Aura being treated as separate characters in the game. But I think just having the costume itself is already nice.

The ending itself is made up of a longer scene when shattering the Idealism Crystal and 4 events. The first three making up the Ending Start storyline and the last one the Epilogue End Scene, which is a sort of curtain call scene where a lot of the Earth cast characters get to be united on one last final H-CG.

When watching the Epilogue End Scene you will see the chracters make some references that are pretty short and while they theoretically are self-contained, I will be expanding over the next two weeks when working on the Epilogue Scenes. There we will also see what happens to the Roya cast depending on your progress/decisions.

Aaand that's the main meat for this update. Instead of reporting more on it, I recommend to find out yourself, especially about the fate of Alicia---ahhh I don't wanna spoil!

Anyways, this marks another two major milestones off the list! The completion of the mandatory mental changes for the Corruption Ending and with the H-Scenes in the Corruption Ending itself we have also added the last mandatory major H-scenes. From now on, there will be no new H-Scenes that require new H-CGs until 1.0 is complete. There might be more stuff like lewd skills and lewd books though. And perhaps the toll bandits will make a return but with reused CGs.

Anyways, epilogue scenes is the next objective to tackle and then in two weeks I hope we can cross out the full Corruption Ending milestone!
