Proof of Life #157: 1st release few days after the 15th + I need your opinion.
Added 2022-12-12 16:37:16 +0000 UTCHello, misters and misses, it’s N_Taii with an earlier-than-usual PoL post! I’m currently quite busy with development, so I’ll keep this one short.
First of all, addressing the title, I won’t be able to release the update on the 15th. I don’t really consider it a “delay”, as I’ve always tried to be upfront since the beginning of HC3 that monthly updates would be a bit more difficult to maintain due to the sheer amount of work this game requires compared to the previous ones. So I’ll always give myself a +3-4 days window for the release. But rest assured, I promise to release the update for 9$+ Patrons no later than the next PoL on the 19th, but very possibly even earlier than that. As always, it’ll be available 5 days later for 5$ Patrons.
Quite frankly, I should be done with the main content by the 15th, but I want to add more stuff, like freeroams, continuing 1-2 mini-stories and adding a new one, tweak a few things, and do an extensive bug hunt playtest, thus the extra days needed. I worked (and keep working hard) on this update, and I hope you’ll like it ; )
As a way to apologize, I added a sexy lady for this PoL’s image, and I need your opinion on it. Basically, the images of the 4 main characters in the characters screen will get progressively lewder as their corruption progresses, and this will be the 1st step. Do you think it is too lewd for a 1st step? Or just right? (there’s no “not lewd enough” option because we’ll get to it later anyway^^). I’ll add a poll straight after this post to gauge your opinions.
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

2022-12-13 03:16:59 +0000 UTCI’m in agreement with the others. If you’re planning for 1-3 stages, I’d keep the changes as is. But if you’re planning for more, than I’d restrict it to either the cleavage or dress for the first one, not both. Loving the progress!

2022-12-12 22:07:35 +0000 UTCha, its cool to see one of my favorite creators, in the feed of one of my other favorite creators. I agree with your take though. We're missing context, particularly about how many total changes are planned. This wardrobe change might be too drastic for a step 2 of say 6 total, but it would be pretty good for a step 2 of 3 or 4 total outfits.

2022-12-12 20:39:44 +0000 UTCHow many steps are you planning? If just a small number then it's fine, if it's a large number then I think it's probably too big a change.

2022-12-12 20:37:50 +0000 UTCI think it's a bit too much for a first step, maybe for the cleavage only one button open, and for the dress a bit longer would be better.

2022-12-12 19:51:36 +0000 UTCIt depends on how many pieces you want per character, but I personally would do one change at a time. So either shorter dress or cleavage. This one with both would be portrait three.

2022-12-12 19:14:45 +0000 UTCthe cleavage feels a bit much for a 1st step imo… obviously i dont know what the full length of the game would be, but if its anything around the size of hc2 just the shorter dress to start out could be good?

2022-12-12 17:05:09 +0000 UTCThanks! Since I try to do monthly updates, and the last one was on the 15th of November, the ideal release date would have been on the 15th of this month too. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it.

2022-12-12 16:46:58 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love it, and looking forward to seeing the others! Didn't actually know the expected date was the 15th, thought it would be later than that anyway so happy to hear it'll be around the 19th
