A Light in the Darch (Patreon)

Sometime ago I mentioned that Chapter 9 would be getting some changes!
With some focusing on the merging of Erin and Florin's branches, and Flora's being isolated once again.

But let's take a deeper look into the darchness.

In this scenario, all four of our characters find themselves in a similar predicament to before, but something's different... Their bodies have changed! The pressure within the cave made up of Black Shards have altered their appearance to reflect what's in their soul. Or perhaps, a reflection of their future?

Each of the protags will have new temporary forms while rummaging through the darchness (although battle sprites will not reflect this).

Each protag will have a unique look that reflects who they are as a person, or I guess technically, who they were. 

Ariana's form is that of a cheerleader! All of the other forms have already been decided, but I would like to hear guesses on what the others will look like!

Goals of this revamp:

• Flesh out Flora and Florin's character a bit more. Flora is kind of a one note and Florin has basically no character compared to the other two. Focusing on giving Florin his own distinctive personality while keeping true to his original self is the main task!
• Go more into what the purpose and origins of Darchlight Cave. Why are the Bladestar labs located here specifically? Who constructed it?
• Add a sense of urgency while in the caves. Moreso than just "fight a couple Bladestar Grunts" and be done with it. 
• Combining Routes allows me to add more depth and character to each one. You know, instead of all routes being the same except you have a different character's thoughts.

That's all I have for today's update. I hope you're all having a wonderful week! I know I always say thank you for supporting me, but it really has helped out a lot and I'm eternally grateful to those who choose to support me! I love making Rejuvenation and I want it to be the best it can possibly be. 💙💙💙
