Ringmaster Crelle - Catacombs and Catgirls Teaser
🕑 Added 2023-07-24 20:37:45 +0000 UTCHi all! Apologies for the lack of activity this month; I ended up taking an unexpected sabbatical earlier this month, but the good news is that I've been working on the coming Axugaem2 update constantly and I'm extremely excited to finally start sharing teasers with you all!
First things first though, to avoid confusion, I need to address the title of this post. I've decided to change the name of the coming update from Depths and Dungeons to Catacombs and Catgirls, mostly for originality's sake, but also because the new title does a lot better of a job describing what specifically is going to be in the update :b
I'll be making a more detailed post public, within the next month, containing some promotional images for the update (once I create them, that is...)
In the meantime, and more importantly, I'll be releasing a new teaser to Patrons each week (usually around this time Monday) until the update is ready to share! The first few teasers after this one will be new art for old characters that were missing it, as a small part of the coming update is focused on polishing up and filling out parts of the game that really need it. After that, it'll all be art assets for brand new content!
Alright, without further ado, here's some info on the subject of this first teaser and where she fits into the update:
Though she has traveled across many seas and gone by just as many names during her time on Imperium (which some rumours claim exceeds two centuries), Ringmaster Crelle remains a mystery to most denizens of central Imperium, who know her only as the driving force behind Skullbutter's- the world's longest-running circus. Crelle's eye for the unusual and 'grotesque' have made Skullbutter's Circus a must-see attraction wherever it travels, and it never ceases to travel. Its name is known by even the denizens of remote settlements, and its motto is highly infamous in its own right: 'a world that needs its freaks will gladly pay them for their services.' Though eccentric and secretive about many things, Crelle has never shied away from voicing that mission statement.
Accordingly, past and present members of the circus have attested to receiving consistently generous cuts of the troupe's earnings. However, they have also admitted to feeling constantly uneasy in the presence of the Ringmaster, as if their well-being was not her primary concern despite her apparent generosity. Rather, by all accounts, Crelle has ulterior motives in running the circus that not even her closest confidants can claim to have parsed...
