Angels with Scaly Wings Sequel slated for 2023
Alluded to in last year's April Fool's Day post, as well as the teaser we released last month, this reveal finally makes official what some of you may have already suspected.
Taking place 4 years after the events of Angels with Scaly Wings' True Ending, a murder threatens to upset the delicate balance between the 3 cities of the new world.
Today marks AwSW's 5th anniversary, and as such I believe it is time to elaborate a little on the history of the sequel and where we stand today.
It really started during the development of AwSW. While writing the story, I would get many ideas about events and things that could happen to characters and the world in the future. I wrote down all of those ideas, and as development progressed these ideas started forming into an overarching story.
By the time we neared release for AwSW, I knew I wanted to create that sequel if I would be given the opportunity. The only question for me was whether AwSW would be successful enough to make this possible.
That is how the secret ending came into play. Would I not be able to create the sequel, the true ending would still be a good place to end the story, while the secret ending could tease what was to come if I was able to contiue and make another game.
Ultimately, Angels with Scaly Wings was planned as one, big story. When AwSW finally released, the first scene and events of the true ending for the sequel were already known to me, and work on the sequel commenced almost immediately.
The story became bigger and bigger, and I eventually realized this game would take a very long time to make.
That's where Angels with Broken Hearts (our webcomic taking place in the world of AwSW) came in. I was looking for a good way to elaborate on the world and characters of AwSW that I felt needed to be introduced to players to provide important context before playing the sequel - as carrying the story of the sequel was a big enough task on its own.
Since the game would take place in the new world, Reza's chapters in particular were a necessity so players would have the opportunity to know more about the human world and Reza's story - though of course other chapters of AwBH also play their part and not just Reza's.
Between this, a japanese translation and the console ports, my attention unfortunately became somewhat unfocused in order to make all of these things happen - further slowing the work on the sequel.
For this game, we are aiming for improvements on all fronts, meaning a lot more people to be involved (and assets to be created).
As of today, the various aspects are in very different states of completion, with music, backgrounds and character designs being mostly done - while others such as programming and CGs haven't been given much attention yet.
I am very confident in the people who are working on this game to raise the bar - and you will definitely be able to spot a number of familiar names in the credits as well.
We expect Angels with Scaly Wings, part 2 will release at some point in 2023 (hopefully sooner rather than later). When you eventually get the chance to play it, the amount of time to get through should be significantly higher compared to AwSW due to the sheer amount of content.
I don't think I can express in words how important the world and story of AwSW are to me - especially in light of all the lovely messages and reviews I have received about how much this story has meant to players.
I am very much looking forward to share this next chapter of Angels with Scaly Wings with you. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a while longer as many more days of work are ahead of us until this is possible.
However, with these news finally unveiled, I will also be able to start talking about the next game in more detail and share various pieces in blog posts just like this one throughout the year.

Angels with Scaly Wings 1.1 Patch Notes
This version fixes a small issue with Adine's sprite not appearing in Chapter 3 when going to the portal while she is disappointed.
Apparently this issue was so rarely reported because players would rather not continue the game while not being on good terms with her!
The patch also adds a text translation for Brazilian Portuguese due to the efforts of Zeez (@zeez145, TiagoS#5071), which we greatly appreciate (Thank you Zeez!). I hope this will enable more players to experience the game.
Angels with Scaly Wings 1.09 Patch Notes
Patch 1.09 is now live and should be downloaded automatically if you use Steam.
The biggest change in this version is the addition of Japanese! A language selector will now appear every time when starting the game. The language can't be changed during the game.
Besides that, we have also made a number of small improvements, which may be the last adjustment we make to the game functionality itself:
- Some ui elements were changed to be clearer.
- Bryce's ghost won't show up in Lorem's first scene anymore.
- Lorem's Orb is now easier to find.
However, we have noticed some of the larger underlying changes for additional language support may make certain save files from older versions unusable or behave strangely. This does not apply to the save of the game's overall progress, but just those of an individual playthrough.
In such cases, starting a new playthrough should work without further issues.
Angels with Scaly Wings merchandise is here!
Angels with Scaly Wings merchandise is now available on these two sites:
Redbubble:
https://www.redbubble.com/people/mbsaunders/portfolio
Zazzle:
https://www.zazzle.com/store/mbsaunders
https://www.zazzle.co.uk/store/mbsaunders
Why two different sites? Both sites gave us different opportunities that made some unique things possible.
For example, Sebastian's (Bastion) Breach playing cards are only available on Zazzle.
Pricing for similar items may also be different on the two sites, so depending on what you're looking for, one may end up better than the other!
Even more importantly, one may offer better shipping options to your country.
With this, we have answered to another request we have received many, many times since release of the game. Maybe some of you remember design elements that you can see here being teased quite a while ago in our social media channels, or you may recognize a certain piece of art here.
We actually commissioned a number of different artists to come up with some interesting designs - one of which made a piece of fanart before that prompted us to commission her to come up with more designs so that we would have one for each main character!
You can see the result of all this above! Feel free to browse - maybe you'll find something you'd like?
Bryce Plush now available! Supplies very limited.
Some additional ones we had made are now available here: https://lunarshinestore.com/products/bryce-from-angels-with-scaly-wings-plush-toy
We don't have many available and aren't planning to make more at the moment, so if you are interested and haven't gotten one, this is your chance!
Announcing Bryce Plush!
We are glad to finally be able to unveil the official AwSW Bryce plush!
Pre-Order here:
https://lunarshinestore.com/products/bryce-from-angels-with-scaly-wings-plush-toy
When we set out to do this, we knew it would be very difficult. By now it's taken almost two years to get to this point. I had zero experience with making something like this happen, and the challenges associated with creating something physical rather than just digital items like AwSW itself are very different.
Nevertheless, here we are - and the reason is simple: ever since the release of AwSW, I've been asked time and time again if we ever would make plush items of the characters. Of course, thinking of doing something and then actually doing it are two very different things. The fact that it has taken this long to make it happen is just proof of that.
But, anyways - the Bryce plush is now available for pre-order! This is a very necessary step for us, because this lets us know how many we should produce - manufacture is very complicated! We also need at least 80 pre-orders in order to make the production possible.
In a way, this is very similar to a crowdfunding campaign - because essentially we need enough pre-orders to show that people are interested in these! Can we make it happen? I certainly hope so!

Announcing Angels with Scaly Wings - The Animated Series
The Animated Series has recently started development after years of fierce negotiation between M. B. Saunders, creator of Angels with Scaly Wings, and a number of well-known animation giants such as Didney and Dreamjobs.
If early rumors are to be believed, the series will follow an all-new adventure story that will bridge the gap between the events of Angels with Scaly Wings: Part 2 and Angels with Scaly Wings: Part 3.
While the provided details are sparse at the moment, it has come out that negotiations took an unusually long time because of Saunders' insistence that the series aim for at least an "R" rating.
"We never pulled any punches, and I wasn't going to start now. That R rating? I'll tell you it's not because of violence." , Saunders says in a statement.
Whatever Saunders may have meant with that statement, we will find out once the series release on (date), exclusively available on the Webflux internet content streaming service.
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements!
