Background Preview: Courtyard Festival (Patreon)

Time for another finished bg added to the collection! ^^

Some fans will already know the context of this location and are probably getting hyped up. :P I won't spoil what's to come for MA's story and events, but in earlier releases of our game development, there was some scenes and events that have yet to make their way back into current development.

We've been slowly trying to fit older moments back into the game in new fitting ways that work with the story, so even this event and context you once knew about it will have some new exciting stuff to look forward to! ^^

This bg location as it suggests is part of the courtyard area of the academy, at the center of the building. We've seen the other half of the courtyard before, which is the north end and this is the south end. It goes without saying based on the title of this post, there's a festival setup here. <.<

The art doesn't manage to capture the full scale of how many booths and club activities are present, but I wanted to highlight the cosplay club booth, even if there was some other worthy mentions like the maid cafe. (If only we could have more angles to showcase the festival in full! >.< )

I can't say much more than that for the context for the game's events and how this location plays into everything, but it does confirm for many fans that we'll be seeing a festival in MA still! :P

The bg art will cover variants for day, sunset and night time periods. Anyone hyped up for a school festival? ^^
