Proof of Life #63: Some More Infos About Update 6

Hello guys and gals, N_Taii here! I've come to bless y'all with a new PoL post!

About HC2's development

It's got to be the update I've worked on the hardest^^ I usually like to work at night, but never have I had to stay up until 4am in order to not be behind on schedule.

All that hard work won't necessarily translate into longer playtime, because most of my time has been spent editing sprites because the scene are getting a tad bit more complex than usual in terms of animations and sprites. Still, I hope you'll be happy with what you'll see.

Anyway, I wanted to give a bit more infos on what I promised: freeroam events/scenes. Just so you don't get any wrong expectations, let me explain what they will be. Freeroam events will be small scenes, not part of any quest in particular, that will appear all over the tribe on different days as you progress with the main quests and side quests. Their main purpose is to underline the ongoing corruption of the tribe, and to give you something to look for or stumble upon as you walk around the main map.

As such, they will be rather small: one or two animations, a few lines of texts, sometimes you will be able to interact with them, but not much more. They're the cherry on top of the cake, not the whole cake. As for Update 6, there will be a total of 6 new freeroam events, one with each side characters, one with Celis, and two with Aywin. All of them will be happening during the new update, so you don't have to go back and play some parts of the game again just to see them. I will be adding more with each update, at a pace of 2-3 per updates, depending on their complexity. Last but not least, I'll be writing down the location, time and triggers of each of the freeroam scenes in the walkthrough (found within the game files, as always).

Also, I've added two new outfits into the game: one for Solana (part of her quest), and one for Aywin (you will be able to see glimpses of it after finishing this update's main quest if you look for her around the map on different days). More outfits to come in next update, as well as more emphasis on Aywin's new clothes. Another warning: those outfits only constitute the 1st version of the women's slutty outfits, and thus will only include a few new details (visible belly, sometimes deeper cleavage, shorter skirt, etc...). Don't panic if they aren't whorish enough for your tastes, even sluttier outfits will be added right before, or perhaps during the endings.

Okay, so with that out of the way, I'll be back to working on what's left to do: creating the freeroam events (settings and sprites are done already), testing what's left to test, updating the description board in the MC's room, and adding the saves and the new walkthrough. If I still have some time left, I'll be changing some dialogues here and there.

As you can see, there's quite a lot left, so expect the new update to come out quite late on the 10th (CET time). Depending on the timezone, it might be the 11th already. Sorry!

As always, thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

Hyped! Solana is back! :3 I love the idea about the small events on different days in the tribe, so close yet so far!

Ah, well, I just like birds^^ There's nothing else to it I'm afraid.

N_taii

Thanks! Hope it answered some of your questions : )

N_taii

alright thanks I was just asking cuz I have seen a few other games do that where there would be a constantly reoccurring animal show up in the game and you would think nothing of it but then it turned out that there was a reason for them constantly showing up.

I wish I could say something deep, like I was trying to represent the struggle between light and darkness, or something along those lines, but it is purely aesthetic. I try not to group animals of the same color together so the background feels more diverse, and thus more pleasing to look at. Also, I know it's hard to tell from the screenshot, but the bird is actually blue : )

N_taii

this might just be me grasping at straws but is the black and white bird pair that appear every now and then (like at the MC's house and in this POL's screenshot) just an aesthetic choice or is it something else?
