🌹 The Thorn Princess has arrived to HTopia! (v0.5.0) (Patreon)

Everyone, today is the day!

Let's welcome our bratty thorn princess Cierna to HTopia.

This release includes the first part of her story where you will get to know her and attend to all her needs... And best of all, Cierna herself is voicing the ending scene!

More of Cierna will come later on!

This story also introduces a new character Riley, we hope you like her as much as we do already ;)

I want to thank Cierna and her manager narunini for generously giving us this opportunity. And to everyone for your incredible support this month on Discord, X and Patreon, we're incredibly happy with the progress we're making and excited to bring more and more content.
