RPGM Henteria Chronicles Ch. 3: The Peacekeepers [P2 Update 22] [N_taii]

[LordFrz]

Yar, Inatari just dropped a new update for patreon subs and the public release of the previous update. Sprites definitely need some work and the male characters in it are... hellaciously ugly but it's a solid option for games similar to HC.

Mans is a master at the ugly bastards, its dope, lol.

I dunno, I feel like Inatari takes the ugly bastard trope just a little too far. Inatari's ugly bastards are so ugly that they're a completely different art style than the rest of the characters.

You can't ever take the ugly bastard trope too far

That is genuinely one of the parts that I really like about Inatari's game so far! It's not perfect, especially since they are still clearly in the process of developing as an artist with how much some of the designs have already changed in less than a year. Which does make the bastards stand out a little more than they should, because I don't believe any of their looks have been updated last I checked.

But I am also a ~huge~ fan of Unbalance and Scars of Summer... so I think it goes without saying that my brain is clearly broken in some fundamental way.

Yea, the bastards are kinda a different style. He went more detailed shadows kinda with the new girls so the old stuff stands out a little more. When he gets to updating them they will probably look like they fit more.

Henteria 4 i wonder if it will be a mondern fantasy like ff 7 and there will be a don character and a tifa character

I imagine that there won't be some massive time-jump to actual modernity so that it still exists alongside the other chapters... but getting to see a corner of Henteria that is built around more advanced "magic-punk" technology than straight swords & sorcery would be a super interesting change of pace!

and also I obviously have to support a Don Corneo/Tifa style pairing on principle alone. We already got the Duke this time, but as much as I like Rose as a character, I think there is just something special about the contrast between a strong, physically-imposing woman who can kick some serious ass being dominated and degraded by someone much weaker than she is who relies more on institutional power and authority...

Don corneo looks for the perfect wife and finds tifa but she diffrent from other makes him want her more but she likes cloud so he stays on her good side until finds a way to make her his

I agree with you on that. Would also work great with mystery/partial pov.
On the (early) road of degeneration she could get angry when he's getting ahead of himself and give him a blue eye. Or she simply tries to intimidate him with her superior strenght.
Then he will become angry and escalates the ntr, forcing her to submit bit by bit.

I think he would married tifa and make his her permanent partner and make her have his child

 

[Kulman]

I wish the game would show the busts when a new outfit is introduced.

 

[Oriandu]

I don't disagree with the desire for updated status screens when a new outfit is introduced, but the artwork for the HC series is largely commissioned and ordering new artwork for the profile pics every few updates would be expensive.

 

[Racoon_4]

Well you aren't wrong. I think it mainly depends on two things: 1) How important is the art to the dev. = how much is he willing to spend on it and 2)Does he have to pay the full commission price even if half of the portraits are already there and only clothing and some facial features will change?

We know ~1k$ was spent on sex soundtracks (moaning, blowjob etc.). But we do not know if the developer has set himself a limit on how much he's willing to spent on character portraits. As mentioned, we also don't know if every variation would cost the same as a completely new drawing or less.
Maybe he only wants to spent 500$ on commisions, maybe he already paid more than that.

I can only voice my thoughts and hope for the best

 

[cakndrong]

Is this ch.3 finished or there still more update?

Still being updated. I can't say how far we are into the game, though. Maybe halfway?

Yeah, money is one factor among many. I've always considered portraits as a way to give a better idea of a character's face as well as better show their facial expressions rather than showcasing the outfits, since we barely see them to begin with. Also, having to commission a whole new set of portraits for each new in-game outfits would make me think twice about adding said outfits.

I do have a "rough" budget for graphics in-game, and if given the choice, I'd much rather spend it on pixel art, with illustrations being the icing on the cake. So far, I've paid a lot more than 500$ on illustrations alone, and 500$ is about the budget of pixel art commissions alone for one single update, probably slightly more. That makes fitting any extra expenses a bit difficult.

Sounds about right.

If we asked if you could add tifa and don corneo into your game how much money would we need to do it because I’m pretty we would do it

 

[Oriandu]

Why the hell would he add Tifa and Don Corneo? They don't exactly fit...

 

[Matoga]

I'm pretty sure they don't mean it literally, they just want a character that's similar to Tifa and another one that's similar to Don in HC4, and they want this low budget Don to corrupt the low budget Tifa.
Haven't played Final Fantasy but i know who they are, it could be fun seeing how that turns out. (Even though i'm perfectly aware that i'm probably not gonna see it, at least not from N_Taii xd)

ps.: i only liked your post cause i saw you sitting at 3999 likes, i'm your 4000th so i basically own you, Buddy! Just thought you should know.
