Proof of Life #156: Characters first, story second.

Hello guys and gals, how are you doing in this fine morning/afternoon/evening? Had a bad day? Fear not, N_Taii is here to make it better with a -you guessed it - a Monday PoL post fresh out of the oven!

So, I've found myself in a short slump last week. Nothing major, like half a day worrying about how to go about the last part of this update. Basically, I finished everything I had in mind by that point, up to Cyanna's first NTR event, and I wasn't quite sure what to add after that.

Don't get me wrong, I have all major points of the story in mind, so that's not what bothered me, but I don't just want to jump from plot point to plot point with nothing in-between. The main reason is written in the title: the game is more about characters than it is about story. That isn't to say I'm not putting any efforts in the story, but characters definitely take precedence, so I wanted to have a segment that doesn't progress the story, but puts more emphasis on sexual aspects of some side-characters' relationships as well as the build-up leading to it.

So I decided to go for a character I wasn't sure would ever make another apparition: Eddie, the blonde elven girl you met at the military camp. She doesn't appear out of nowhere, and she is somehow tied to what happened in the first part of the update. With that, this update can be seen as a follow-up to the events in the military camp, since there'll be some Alys and some Eddie as well, although Cyanna remains the focus. For the time being, there is a scene with Cyanna, and a scene with Alys. In the days that remain until the next update, I want to add some Eddie content and maybe another, shorter Cyanna scene.

That's it for this PoL. I'll be back next week for more. ; )

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

No matter your choices, the game won't change or branch to different storylines, only the ending will change. So yes, the ntr will still happen regardless.

Hi N_taii, would the ntr scene still happen if you pick only good option?

lol

Yeah, her segment is more of an interlude because I didn't want to have two Cyanna scenes back to back. Also, it'll help bring closure to the camp event earlier in the game, where people wondered what would happen to the girls once they were back to the city. Also, as you said, she can make an appearance as an extra when I need her, same as Alys.

N_taii

Yeah, unfortunately, I can't have everyone in every update. But down the line, they'll all have their very own fleshed-out storyline, it'll just require a bit more waiting. By the way, a bit of a spoiler, but Cyanna does get further than Rose, so slightly less teasing with her.

N_taii

Eddie? I love this decision! She doesn't need much of a role, and she already has Alys as the side heroine in Cyanna's story. But when you need a female soldier NPC to appear, I hope that Eddie and Eddie will become a representative role of "female soldier A".

Not for the time being, but that could be an idea. Artworks for them is unlikely though, because they're definitely the most expensive thing in the game, and I'd rather have more outfit variations for the 4 main characters' journal entries if possible.

N_taii

Glad you like her then, but also glad you like two of the main characters, because they're definitely going to have more screentime than her. Still, I'll try to include some more sgt Alys periodically.

Even though it seems like neither Haylen nor Rose will get content in this update i hope a few minor freeroam scenes like the one Haylen has right now where she masturbates in her room on Soldath evenings will be added, especially for Rose. When i saw the changelog for Update 1 and read that Rose gets a scene i was so sure that there would be at least SOME physical contact between her and the Duke that i was ready to bet my life on it without having any second thoughts but as it turns out i couldn't have been more wrong. I know you said that you would go at a slower pace but going from handjob as a first scene in CH2 to having 2 scenes with no contact at all in CH3... that was a tough pill to swallow, i got a taste of what it feels like being cucked, and the cherry on top is that after playing the update and hearing the Duke say that next time they need to go further if Rose wants results i was ready to make another bet that as a Christmas present or something we would definetly get a scene with Rose and the Duke but that blew up in my face spectacularly as well about and hour ago. At least now i know that i shouldn't be allowed to buy a lottery ticket ever agian. Can't wait for the update and keep up the good work, as for a christmas present...2 scenes with Cyanna sounds really darn good!

Do you have any plans to make journal entries for minor girls like Alys, Eddie and Meredith? Maybe even with artworks? I really love journals/encyclopedias in character-driven games, although i realize its lots for work for a gimmick :)

Sgt Alys is my favorite for some reason lol but canna and rose are definitely great too
