Proof of Life #247: Things are heating up + early public release of Update 16
Added 2024-11-25 20:45:30 +0000 UTCHello everybody, put your hands up!... or down, I'm not your mom. Anyway, how are you doing in this fine morning/afternoon/evening? It's getting super cold here, and the wind's constantly howling, but telling the story of our protagonists spending their time under the sun is helping warm me up a little~
As you can see, the beachside mansion is now complete, and a few things are happening in it already, but I'm still missing the animations for Lily and Haylen, which should be coming shortly.
I think I finally have all the maps for this update finished, which means I can really focus on content now. I'm over halfway done with Cyanna's first scene, and I've got a few ideas on how this whole update will play out. Even though it'll be a bit more light-hearted than the previous update, there will still be some heavy stuff here and there that'll help progress the corruption.
There probably won't be any freeroams for this Update, as I'm already adding plenty of small stuff happening in the background, especially with Lily and Haylen. If I had to add freeroams as well, I'd never be done^^ If I do though, it'll be two at most. I'm also pondering whether I should make this whole beach vacations span over two updates or keep it all in one update. Or I could add it in one update and a half, with the second update having an extra side-quest as well? I'll have to think about it.
Btw, Update 16 is now available to the public a bit earlier. You can get it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hc3-peacekeepers-114833385
I'll see you again next week
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

It'll definitely be late December. Still, if I can get it out before 2025, I'll do so because I then want to take short break over the holidays to focus on the Steam release. This thing has been in the works for over a year, but I keep finding new stuff to do^^

2024-12-01 12:09:26 +0000 UTCThank you : ) I'm really glad you like my writing, as it's often been a source of frustration for me. Since English isn't my first language, I'm always stuck with having to find roundabout ways to tell the things I want to tell because of grammar limitations and lack of vocabulary. It's getting better, but I'm not quite there yet. I hope you'll like what the game has in store for you. I believe my writing has slightly improved over the course of HC3's development, but I'll let you be the judge of it.

2024-12-01 12:06:19 +0000 UTCHey man, I couldn't wait any more and just started the game. I've gotta say, you're an excellent writer. Even with the constraints of a fairly simplistic RPG engine, you really manage to make characters that I sympathize with and want to root for. I genuinely felt bad when you leave the princess. It makes me happy to know we've got skilled hands like yourself in the erotica genre - lord knows we need them. Just because porn can be simple doesn't mean it has to be. Hope you keep up the awesome work.

2024-11-29 10:41:02 +0000 UTCMaybe with a random girl, not excluding that. I don't have any plans for that right now, but it could happen under the right circumstances.

2024-11-28 21:29:50 +0000 UTCAlls I'm saying is that if it's like December 26th and you're all "It's still 2024, I've got a few more days to finish it." you could hold off, double up on the update and start 2025 with a bang.

2024-11-28 04:59:18 +0000 UTCNot even a hand job from a random girl ?

2024-11-28 03:14:53 +0000 UTCThat's a question I wish I could answer ; )
N_taii
2024-11-27 20:11:17 +0000 UTCWell, I'd rather add Lily and Haylen freeroams during their respective storylines^^ If I do it after a main quest, I'm not even sure people will be able to see them, since I don't know how far they've progressed with Lily and Haylen's questlines.
N_taii
2024-11-27 20:10:53 +0000 UTCAs Iokua said, I wouldn't really count on it before the endings happen.
N_taii
2024-11-27 20:07:47 +0000 UTCBefore, 2025, eh? But the question is... how much time will be left in 2024 when it releases?
Iokua
2024-11-26 20:22:42 +0000 UTCAt some point, yeah, but unless N_Taii is going to use sex with Leto as a way to further Rose's corruption... don't expect it until the endings.

2024-11-26 20:21:54 +0000 UTCHard work gud job… u know I meaning to ask since Rose and Cyanna are Main Story were u ever tempted to add Lilly and Haylen as kinda free roam scene in main story. I really I don’t u could’ve for long scene cause a lot of work making sure scene fit and requirement for there story and main story to fit. Ah I’m rambling T_T

2024-11-26 11:55:59 +0000 UTCIs Leto ever going to get laid ?
Terry Brazier
2024-11-26 06:12:49 +0000 UTCThere's actually a secondary female character that'll get involved with the main cast at some point. I also still plan to add condoms in some of the scenes, for several reasons. There won't be freeroam events the likes of those I added in the past updates (like mini-scenes), but there'll be a lot of things happening in the background though ; )
N_taii
2024-11-26 02:14:05 +0000 UTCI think so, yes : )
N_taii
2024-11-26 02:07:47 +0000 UTCIt's actually a bit more than a filler event. So far, I've planned a major but pretty short plot point to happen during this update. I'm still thinking about it though. I don't have the entire update fully planned out quite yet. I still want to aim for a release before 2025 though^^

2024-11-26 02:07:36 +0000 UTCPersonally I'm very excited about this update, I've been wanting an update that focused more on the sexual events than moving the story forward for a long time. And now that all the girls have already had sex and all of them (except Lily if I remember correctly) are doing it without a condom. It's a pity there are no freeroam events this time and it doesn't look like any secondary characters will have scenes in this update either, but I'm sure the events with Haylen and Lily will fill that space very well. Thank you very much for your hard work :)

2024-11-25 23:59:07 +0000 UTCDon't know if two would be too much, but one and a half at least would be awesome! Do you think a December release will be viable?
Dovaper
2024-11-25 23:34:04 +0000 UTCAs neat as it would be for this update to span two releases... Please don't do it unless you're planning on a major event to cap it off. Two updates for the filler beach arc is a bit much. If you want to do more then just push the update release back and give us a double stuffed update in January.

2024-11-25 21:29:16 +0000 UTCDamn, thanks for pointing it out^^

2024-11-25 21:24:00 +0000 UTCThe man's been working on Update 17 so much he's got confused which one he just publicly released. Keep up the good work!

2024-11-25 20:57:06 +0000 UTCI'd personally love for the beach arc to be 2 updates! Can't wait for the release!
