Proof of Life #284: Is it a noble's manor or a brothel?
August 11
Heya you rascals, how’s it going in this fine morning/afternoon/evening? Bet you weren’t expecting me to post a PoL on a Monday, like I’ve been doing every week for almost four years, uh? And I bet you aren’t expecting me to write about HC3, right?
Anyway, terrible joke aside, here’s some more stuff about HC3’s next update~
I’ve been crossing borders for most of the week, visiting my mom and my uncle who live in a neighboring country, so I unfortunately haven’t had as much time to work on the game as I would have hoped. Adding to the fact that some of my irl plans for the future seem to be falling apart, it wasn’t the best week for development.
Still, I’ve been able to start and finish Rose’s first scene, a pretty short one that was initially supposed to last only a few seconds and that I decided to expand upon and add into the reminiscence room. I’ve also added two different short events with both Stenia and Meredith that I’m still in the middle of testing.
For Stenia’s part, I’ve added three variations based on the choices you have made so far story-wise. They’re not particularly different, but they merely change the way Leto reacts to a certain event whether you have taken more NTR, Revenge, or Happy choices.
This helped me realize the very obvious thing that, with 3 different variables, there would be some players with the same number of choices for some of them, like for example 6 NTR, 6 Revenge, and 1 Happy, so I had to make a decision. Basically, the priority will be given to the endings I believe people are waiting for the most, so NTR>Revenge>Happy. If someone has 6 NTR choices and 6 Revenge ones (and less Happy ones), the NTR will take priority. For 6 Revenge and 6 Happy, the Revenge option will be automatically chosen. For the NTR1 (public use) or NTR2 (antagonists) endings, the player will have a choice to make with a clear warning about which choice will lead to which ending (if they have a majority of NTR choices when they get tot his point).
This update might also not follow the same rules as before, that is to say 3 main scenes + 1 extra. I’m not entirely sure, to be honest. Since we’re getting close to the endings, I might have to split things a bit differently so I’m not left with no content for the last main quest update before we reach the end.
That’s it for ths PoL! I’ll see you again next Monday~
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!
