Proof of Life #259: What happens in the maze, stays in the maze
Added 2025-02-03 21:28:25 +0000 UTCHello people from around the world, how are you doing in this fine morning/afternoon/evening? If you’ve come here to get some news about HC3, well, you’ve certainly come to the right place!
This PoL will be pretty short, as I don’t have a whole lot to say, or at least not much to say that wouldn’t be either uninteresting or outright spoilers. Quoting the famous peasant in Warcraft 3: “Work Work!”, I feel like it captures the essence of what the past week has been.
I’ve finished Rose’s scene, tested it entirely, and added it to the reminiscence room. I’ve also finished developing Cyanna’s second scene and two smaller freeroam for Haylen and Lily (as always, only if you’ve progressed their storyline far enough), plus some story here and there. As you can see, I’ve also managed to reduce the MC’s field of vision to keep a certain sense of mystery that matches being lost in a maze. Also, that way you can’t figure out the correct path right away by looking at the map, although the maze itself is pretty easy, because frustrating players certainly isn’t its main purpose.
Although I still have to test it, I quite like the new Cyanna scene. As with most scenes, it plays a role within the greater story. I’ve also added one more story choice, which now brings the amount of choices in HC3 to a grand total of 12, although no one really cares about that^^
I’m back to developing now. All that’s left is a story segment, then the extra scene and the last Rose scene almost back to back before the update is completed. I’ll see you next Monday for more juicy HC3 news!
Thank you for reading and have a wonderful week!

2025-02-04 19:33:20 +0000 UTCYeah, making it filler was the initial plan, but I did precise later on that it would be more than that after all. You don't often get everyone together in the same space so I felt like I had to do something with that.

2025-02-04 17:24:54 +0000 UTCWork! Work! Bty, when can we see next update? Next week or later?

2025-02-04 14:02:14 +0000 UTCFair enough, although i wasn't really expecting that many freeroams events anyways, Haylen's got plenty after her latest quest so she's fine, Lily only ever had sex once throughout her entire questline yet she's already got like 4 or 5 freeroams where she's having sex, so she's actually much more than just "fine", and so the most i was expecting was maybe like 1 freeroam for Cyanna and another one for Rose, cause i feel like even though you kept saying how this is going to be a simple filler Update where the focus is going to be mainly on sex, both Cyanna and Rose has taken drastic steps forward in their corruptions, and from what the PoL's showed, they're gonna go even further before the end of the Beach... "arc", i guess.

2025-02-04 11:28:15 +0000 UTCI've been pondering whether I should add them next update. With Haylen and Lily's mini-scenes, they kind of work as freeroams already, so without city freeroams in Update 18 I could have it out earlier. If I do add freeroams after being back to the city, it'll be no more than two, and maybe two more in Update 19 even if it focuses on a side-quest.

2025-02-04 11:23:14 +0000 UTCI most likely won't. I've got enough work as it is, and adding more stuff would just make the updates take longer and longer.

2025-02-04 11:20:02 +0000 UTCIf you are indeed talking about the tree, then probably not. I could set up a way to save before the beginning of the scene, if that's what you want?

2025-02-04 11:19:15 +0000 UTCthe one by the tree? i dont think so, its one of those things that just serves purposes for the story, its so short also

2025-02-04 09:37:54 +0000 UTCWill the small Rose scene at the end of Update 17 (not the shack, the one after) be in the gallery?
