Proof of Life #202: Back to the Main Story, Bringing the Characters together
Added 2023-12-11 14:12:37 +0000 UTCHeya you you fabulous gentlemen and splendid ladies, how are things going in this fine morning/afternoon/evening of December? I hope you're looking forward to the Holidays, and along with it, the gift of a new HC3 Update?
Talking about the update, I finally finished Lily's quest along the extra scene at the end of last week, and tested everything. I am now working on the main quest, which shouldn't come as a surprise if you've either 1)read the title, 2)read the past PoLs, 3)both.
The idea behind this new part is to bring the side and main characters together for some kind of reception at the Duke's manor, so they can finally interact with each other for a bit. However, to avoid discrepancies and possible bugs because keeping track of what side quest(s) the player has done so far would be a bloody headache, the MC will have to remain on/around the manor's grounds and be forbidden to leave until the end of this part. That means you might have to do the side quests first if you don't want to miss them as I probably won't be able to finish the "party at the Duke's" segment of the story before the release.
Also, I won't add any sexual content with Lily or Haylen in this part because I want to focus on more on the main characters and, same as stated above, I have no idea where the player stands with their respective corruption at this point in the story. Still, we might get some Stenia or some Meredith content, both maids at the manor.
I'm sorry I couldn't really post anything more interesting than the picture above, I spent a lot of time adding the last remaining wing of the Duke's manor lately, where the maids live, and didn't get much done story-wise. I should have something better next week : )
The new update's first release should be out somewhere towards the end of next week, if all goes well.
That's it for this week's PoL! I'll see ya rascals next week again!
Thank you for reading, and have a nice week!

2023-12-14 10:20:50 +0000 UTCThere doesn't need to be too much depth and she doesn't need to play an important role in Rose's corruption. I just think she'd make a good partner for Rose to willingly have sex with. The duke would still be the one doing the corruption and the mad would just reap the rewards. :P

2023-12-14 05:53:20 +0000 UTCThanks! I usually release 1 update around every ~35 days or so unless stated otherwise : ) Edit: I didn't refresh my page and didn't notice someone had already answered for me. Thanks, Court_Of_Crows!

2023-12-14 03:14:20 +0000 UTCUpdate is once a month usually, we get progress reports every Monday. It’s really efficient and well done.

2023-12-13 23:08:20 +0000 UTCHey, I am new here, do you have an update schedule or do you randomly upload your updates?

2023-12-13 23:06:59 +0000 UTCNoted! I won't promise anything, but this sounds like something that could find its way into the game pretty easily. I just need to add a duck character ; )

2023-12-13 12:04:53 +0000 UTCAlthough I really like all the content, but I only have one wish！Rose, dressed in cute clothes, performs a personality dance in front of Duck~ Keep going！！

2023-12-12 13:31:03 +0000 UTCF for Eddie and the others that you won't be able to enjoy the party :(

2023-12-12 05:01:49 +0000 UTCIt's actually not meant to be a party of nobles, the host just happens to be one, and he's just "welcoming the heroes and their family back in Luminia". That's why Haylen and Lily are invited as well. I want to have Alys there too, but maybe not the other female soldiers. Cyanna and Ulrod will take part in it as well, yes.

2023-12-12 04:59:11 +0000 UTCI want to have some interactions between them, yes, although I'm not sure if I'll have her play such an important role in Rose's corruption, knowing that their relationship is pretty shallow beyond the "former master and maid" thingy.

2023-12-12 04:55:16 +0000 UTCHonestly, I don't think I could finish that part before 2024. There's quite a few characters in there, and while Lily and Haylen don't get any action, there are still other NIP like Stenia and Meredith, or Sgt. Alys, besides Cyanna and Rose. I prefer to take my time rather than having to rush it so I can release it in this update. Also, if I could get a few days off during the holidays that'd be nice^^

2023-12-12 04:49:12 +0000 UTCDo you mean both the side and main characters all at once? If that happens, it'll probably be in the ending, and if the player has finished all the side quests first : )
N_taii
2023-12-12 04:45:55 +0000 UTCI agree, though i think it would take longer if he fits something for every character.

2023-12-12 04:36:24 +0000 UTCIt'll be pretty amazing if we ever get a scene with all the girls being gb by the bad guys

2023-12-11 20:53:45 +0000 UTCI actually wouldn't mind a short delay that would put the release date between Christmas and New Year's Eve if it meant that the Update would include the entire party. Maybe you could do a poll next week once you have a better idea of what's left to do, see what the majority would prefer.

2023-12-11 19:43:50 +0000 UTCNice, back to the main plot. Looking forward to some development for Rose even if it doesn't come with any scenes. Are we going to see her interact more with the maid she and the duke had a threesome with? I feel like she'd be a good option to push Rose's corruption as a partner that Rose has sex with without the duke's coercion.

2023-12-11 18:27:28 +0000 UTCNow a question, will that party only focus on Rose and the maids or also Cyanna and Ulrod? I guess being a party of nobles they are going to need security but honestly (and as much as it pains me to say this) I don't see how Aglys , Eddie and the other female soldiers can contribute anything to that part. Although well, knowing you, maybe somehow you can do it; anyway, if you think that answering this comment could mean a spoiler of what is going to happen during the party then don't answer, I prefer not to ruin the surprise.

2023-12-11 18:04:01 +0000 UTCThis event will happen partly in answer to that question. Also, many people in a closed off space allows for more interactions between them, not only for the Duke and Rose.
N_taii
2023-12-11 17:00:34 +0000 UTCMost likely, yes. I don't have the whole event planned out, but it's high unlikely I'll be able to finish it in ~10 days.
N_taii
2023-12-11 16:58:01 +0000 UTCAh, almost everyone, yes, save for Lily and Haylen as well, for reasons stated above. All in all, very peaceful party, snacks and fuzzy drinks, and then everyone goes home before dark. There will be no flirting either, it'll be a proper and serious event ; )
N_taii
2023-12-11 16:56:59 +0000 UTCIm honestly really curious how rose and the duke interact with each other after their recent event. Excited for the future (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง

2023-12-11 16:50:04 +0000 UTCI'm glad the story is finally back to the main , and I can't wait to play the Duke's Party content. But judging from this pol, the story of the Duke’s Party lasts for 2 updates, right?

2023-12-11 14:55:58 +0000 UTCI can't wait to see that "party at the Duke's house" something tells me that not only are they going to party, but also that everyone (minus Leto) is going to "have a lot of fun" if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
