Proof of Life #95: Writing Character Development

Heya cats and dogs, here's N_Taii bringing his good ol' PoL Monday post to keep you updated on everything.

About HC2's development

Not a huge deal to say about it. I keep developing, and it's going quite well. It'll still take me a few days to finish the story part of the revenge ending.

I feel like it has a different feel than the rest of the game, because while the rest of the game has seen quite a lot of character development for the female characters, the MC got very little in this department. For this ending, it's going to be the contrary.

As you can expect, we won't see our usually nice-but-useless MC go from his usual spineless personality to "I need to take my revenge at all costs" in a matter of minutes. There will be quite a bit of story to explain the character development he goes through.

Now, what I'm worried about his whether his change of mind will still feel too spontaneous and not believable enough, or if I dragged it on for too long. I tried my best to keep it balanced, but we'll see : )

Oh, and one thing I wanted to add on endings in general: you might already have noticed, but there are some informations lacking in the NTR ending, and some questions left unanswered. This was made on purpose. The end goal is to have people play every ending to get the bigger picture, which is why I'm dropping different kind of informations in each ending.

About HC3's development

I don't really have anything to say about it. Artists are still doing their commissions, and I received no noteworthy report this week except for a few new haircuts for the HC3 sprites (damn those are more expensive than I thought, haha!^^)

As always, I'll keep you updated!

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

Makes sense, it is a lot of work. At least hoping for some more portraits expressions :-)

Unfortunately, due to the cost of every single original asset I am going to add in game for HC3 (new animations, new sprites, new haircuts, new clothes, new environmental assets, etc...), I will settle for normal portraits this time. I'm happy to be investing into improving the quality, but I have to stay within limits or all my savings will be gone faster than light haha! It could be a good idea for HC4 though, since at this point I will have all the new stuff ready and would be glad to invest into better portraits and maybe make them into full busts.

N_taii

True. I would like to see busts as well since you can do things like misplaced clothing. Other stuff testifying to sexy times left on clothing etc. Also allows you to set the character proportions in your mind better. However if you are going for that, different clothing sets etc would take a lot of work. However, the impact is also way better. I almost did not notice the different clothing in HC 2, since the pixel art is just so small.

Kul Man

Portraits for every female character would be awesome. The side character scenes always felt a bit boring, because you don't really get to see their expressions.

Are you planning on doing portraits only again or will we be getting whole busts like in witch trainer for example?

Kul Man

Seeing your profile picture, you resemble a fox. Therefore, you shall be Mr. Fox. Me, as a certified duck (I've got the paper proving it), I'll just run away quietly : )

I am neither a cat nor a dog, sir.
