When Stars Fall
Character Artist and Touchbase Update
Hey all,
It's been awhile with no updates since I haven't had any news to share regarding the VN.
First, I wanted to let you know that I have continued to work on the story even during hiatus so when a new update does eventually come out, there should be a good amount of new content story-wise.
Second, a new character artist has joined the project! I'm super happy to announce that Wufrick will be the new character artist for When Stars Fall! Wu is an astounding artist and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with for the character design so far.
Speaking of character design, there will obviously be some changes to the characters as they will be in another artist's style compared to the original. That said, Silas is currently being worked on and Wu has done a phenomenal job of capturing his personality and characteristics in his design. I'm so stoked to see the characters come to life again in this new style.
Now, although a character artist has been found and assets have started to be created once again, it will be quite awhile until there is a game update released. I will not be releasing any game updates until all of the main characters have had their assets created and replaced within the game which will take some time depending on when Wu is available to work on them and I'm able to pay for them (shameless plug to the Patreon where all funds are going to new sprite assets currently).
Lastly, I really want to thank all of you for your support, kind words and most of all your patience from the beginning of this project and onward. You've all been amazing and I truly appreciate all of you!

Well, I am certainly glad for the good news! I am more than happy to wait while Wufrick makes the new assets, because as the saying goes "quality over quantity".
Wow, I'm really looking forward to it - might even adjust my Patreon Funds to support it since I remember the story was really nice and immersive/creative.
Astral-Hugs for both of you...
D'aww, thank you so much! I appreciate whatever support you guys give, whether monetarily or otherwise 😊
make sure to always have at least one or two slimmer build characters in these games, otherwise it would be same as other games
Can't have a good VN of only himbos lol. But yes, I'm currently working with Wu on adjustments for Silas to bring him down closer to his original slimness. :)
I had a dream a few days ago where you confirmed a new artist for the VN. Too bad these prophecy dreams never show me the lottery numbers.
Dang, well if you do have a prophetic dream of those lotto numbers please feel free to share them XD
But then you might not want to finish the novel :P
Neh, that just means I could afford even more art for the game!
I love those boots <3
Right?! They're one of my favorite parts of his new design! Wu is an absolute fashion genius haha.
I certainly had loved the old sprites..., but I feel I will love these ones just as much! :3
I want to spend more time with Silias and Orion!
It's always difficult to change sprites post release. I was really attached to the old ones as well, but I have to say, from the WIPs Wu has sent me, the new sprites should look stunning, especially in game. :D
*slavers* I'm hopeless XD
omg im a fan on wulrick thats really great news! cant waittttt.
Yes! He's such an amazing artist and I'm so excited he said yes! lol
Happy to see that Silas took some serious gym classes this summer!
Haha, those magical tomes are very heavy.
it's good news. I am happy to see that you will continue your project ^^
Thank you! I'm happy to be able to continue and share it once again.
I am happy that you have returned, I thought you would never return and I did not want this great story that I liked to end, but it seems that the wait is paying off, I will keep waiting for a new notice and game update nwn
Yea, unfortunately without actual news it was difficult to let people know the project was still alive aside from creating posts just to say there was no news. I'm really happy to get to have something so exciting to report. :D
Hehe, you must give your best, never give up on doing the work that you love so much and that of others who also love this novel.
Good luck
I'm so happy to read this! I've missed these good boys so much! And I'm also happy you found an awesome artist. I'm glad you have a high concept of quality and won't give us less than what we already had. You're the best!
As weird as it sounds I've really missed them too haha. It's definitely been a journey trying to find an artist and I'm absolutely thrilled that Wu was interested as well.
Of course you would miss them! They are your children. I'm so excited man! 😆

I’m glad you guys finally found a new artist, can’t wait to play the game again!
Ahhh! Yes. I'm very excited as well. I've been so sad that I haven't been able to update you guys for so long.
The wip looks great. Glad you managed to invite such a great artist to work with you, looking forward to new content in the future.
Yes! I'm honored that Wu agreed to work on the project with me and be the artist. I absolutely love his art and style.
Love the new artist so i'm even more hyped for future updates!
Same! Wu's art is fantastic and hopefully now that things are in motion again it won't be too terribly long of a wait for updates.
Silas looks more bara then before but i think it works for him.
He's been working out while on break haha.
