Demo News + Heavenly Empress NFT ( )
Things have been a bit quiet on the development front, for a few good reasons but I have two pieces of very exciting news regarding Heavenly Peaks!
Upon starting the project we (the artist an I) realized that the work might take a bit longer than we initially expected. Life happens and obstacles arise -- especially with everything going on in today's world!
That being said, I've decided to put together a playable version of the game using some 3D stills. This will largely cover ...
Progress + Announcement
Progress on the game is going smoothly. Currently we're focusing on putting together the first parts of the game.
Along with that, we decided to do a bit of a side project. Have you heard of NFT? In a nutshell, NFT allows you to make exclusive artworks which can be purchased and sold freely.
With this in mind, we decided to try our luck on the NFT market. The image you see above is "The Principle" (her name, for now), an early sketch of the leader of the Heavenly Peaks se...
The Principle And The Instructor
Here's a peak at the finalized character designs for the principle and instructor.
Soon I will begin putting more of the game together. I'm excited, are you?!

Here are a few of the other faces in Heavenly Peaks. You'll learn more about them as time goes on.
Yen(Yenay) is Mai's roommate. As her appearance suggests, her talents lie in other areas. She prefers to study, particularly herbs and their applications.
Mei, not to be confused with Mai is Mai's twin sister. There is a familial rivalry that puts the two at odds.
Finally, the principle of Golden Lotus Academy. Well...she's mysterious but..look at her...

Heavenly Peaks - Talent Limit And Breakthroughs
Once a player has trained up to the Supreme Seed in their current Rank, they may find their talent limit has been exhausted.
Talent Limit is a stat that represents how many times a cultivator can improve their stats during Inner Cultivation. For example, if your Talent Limit is 0/10, then it means you can improve any stats you like 10 more times.
Doing this will move you up the Seed ladder from Lesser to Supreme. Once the player has reached Supreme Seed they will need to breakthro...
2021-02-11 06:17:06 +0000 UTC View PostHeavenly Peaks - Training
Training in Heavenly Peaks rewards the player with various benefits. The first is small portions of world qi. The second, and most important benefit is that training activities will affect one or more of the player's stats.
For example, Push-Ups would build strength while Jogging would increase Strength and Speed training bonuses.
Each training exercise contributes in a different way. For example, for every Push-Ups training session done the player would receive +10% strength bonu...

There are three known realms in the world of Heavenly Peaks.
- Spark - This is the beginner's realm, where most people remain for a good deal of their natural life. It is considered the stage when the spirit begins to spark up and flare -- hence Spark.
- Spirit - The realm that only the talented reach.
- Soul - A fabled realm that few ever reach, even the most talented amongst cultivators.

There are six stats Bai Huan has in Heavenly Peaks.
- Strength - Governs martial weapon damage.
- Speed - Adds benefit to martial weapon damage, determines the damage of martial skills and allows you to use martial techniques more quickly.
- Agility - Allows Bai Huan to evade martial attacks more easily. The difference between you and your foe may tire you more -- or not even bother you.

Heavenly Peaks - Cultivation System 2
Once you've acquired world qi, you can then use it to grow stronger. You have several stats which can be improved using your newly acquired world qi.
While inside your inner realm, you will have access to improving them. By spending a bit of world qi the stat you choose will rise, according to the training bonus associated with that stat. Stats have roughly three values associated with them, Base value, Training Bonus and a Cost.
Visually, it looks like this:

This is a post to share with you how the cultivation system in Heavenly Peaks works. The game takes place in a realm where time is greatly slowed. 6 months is equal to a single day in the "outside realm".
Each day is split up into 6 blocks of time. 2 morning phases, 2 day phases and 2 evening phases. Unlike most games, the player isn't required to sleep every night -- instead it is tied to the player's fatigue.
Cultivation allows the player to perform two very important task...

Heavenly Peaks is a visual novel style fantasy game created with Ren'py.
The project follows the (mis)adventures of Bai Huan, a farmer's son who comes to possess an ultra rare ticket to the Immortal Mountain. There, the most prestigious academy in existence is said to exist -- the Golden Lotus Academy.
Bai Huan must contend with jealousy, envy and sometimes outright discrimination from his peers (and even instructors) as he learns his place in the world. But of course, that makes...

Mai is one of the first people to understand what Bai Huan is truly capable of. The young woman is resourceful and witty, yet insecure due to her slow rate of growth. Initially she plans to use Bai Huan for all he's worth to achieve her goals, but she learns very quickly that Bai Huan isn't the only one who will be used...
