RPGM Henteria Chronicles Ch. 3 : The Peacekeepers [Update 16] [N_taii]

[Miss Y]

I might sound a bit arrogant here, but I think HC3 is relatively high quality compared to a lot of games on here.

I'll just tag in here and say that Chapter 3 has some of the best sound design I have ever seen in a hentai game, between the variety of sound effects to keep it from becoming just formless "noise" after the first hour, the intentional placement of them around the map with a muffled effect when appropriate to provide a bit of mysterious tension, and the background music never feeling like it overpowers what is happening on the screen. It's tragically easy to overlook because it's so much more obvious when it's done poorly and gets in the way of the whole experience, but I genuinely can't think of a single game I have played on this site that did a better job short of having fully voiced dialogue for each and every individual scene — which is a laughably unreasonable expectation for anyone to have from an indie developer.

That particular complaint is some serious pants-on-head lunacy, and you should feel proud without having to qualify it.

I'm considering updating the graphics to something better, but that'll take loads of cash to be done considering the sheer scale of the HC games when it comes to entire cities and maps + 100s of NPCs.

I have no doubt that it's much too early to have any real information about this, but I hope that any future graphical updates won't diverge too far from the spirit of the series and will be more incremental in nature, like the jump from the sprites in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, rather than a completely new aesthetic!

Regarding graphics i'm fine either way, i'm curious how an even more detalied Henteria game would look like but the current one for HC3 looks so good especially compared to it's predecessors that i'd be more than fine with it if the next 3 games had the exact same style.
As for the Art, i REALLY hope that N_Taii will continue to commission it from DyuN in his future games because i really like the current style for the girls, his artstyle is really smooth and the facial expressions this guy can draw are great.

It won't be any huge jump, no. Just bigger sprites that would then be more detailed, something like that:

That's an example from an artist who DM'ed me asking me if I had any work. Turns out he did one commission and then disappeared without ever finishing the second one, but I keep coming back to his portfolio. They wouldn't be as chubby as the example, but that's a rough idea of what I'd like to go with.

That'll depend if Dyun is still on board with it, because I'm not planning to change him. I hired a different artist after HC2 because the guy who did the art disappeared for several months. I seem to have an issue with disappearing artists^^

a lot of artist vanish

They do, that's why every time I find a good one, I lock them in my basem- I do my best to keep them around : )

The guy who made Boy hero Ken is gone and he never finished the game I wanted to see the third ending with the mayor

God, I still think about this game at least three or four times per month even after three years of dead silence... What an absolute shame that it was never truly finished because it had so much charm with how it handled the NTR.

 

[TheBigWater]

I wish i could make games like this one. The problem is im shit at art and storywriting. Im only good with programming.
I hope to hear soon some news about next update

Damn, I would love to see sprites like that for HC4. In fact, having 1 short haired fatty milf would be hella dope. lol I imagine the artist just did have enough work to feed himself and had to bite the bullet and work a boring job ): Hopefully, he comes back when you have work, or you can find someone who can make similar sprites. You know, if the money is there from the current game to justify that expensive endeavor.

Yep, the best ending where we would have seen the tomboy corrupted was never finished ):

Yeah we never saw how she got into the mansion

 

[Oriandu]

I do admit that as much as I enjoy the Henteria games more variety in sprite work would be nice.

PS: I know I can't dictate what's going on in this thread, but please don't diss other devs to defend me. I appreciate the intention, but we're all working hard on our games, and sometimes we make mistakes in the eyes of some.

Gonna second this in case someone else brings up my game again. Please don't put it as an example to diss another dev, specially in their own game's thread. N_taii is doing fantastic work here and I hope they keep it up.

The guy who made Valkyria and Shadowocore too, nobody makes open world NTR like this guy, very sad!

Here’s question I’m curious if you would do it or not I’m just asking to satisfy my curiosity like if you we’re asked to do a remake of Boy hero ken like a entire remake of the whole game we’re you add something different parts into the story how would you remake the whole game like more pixel scene instead of cg like said I my own curiosity sorry if asking something silly

I would think anyone would feel super hesitant to try and finish someone elses work without permission. Sometimes you just have to let things be. That said, I like the bigger sprites boy hero has, and think you could make a game with the same premise. Different but the same.

Boy hero has an unused bj sprite sheet for the tomboy. But not much else other than that so anything else would have to be brand new. Which suck because his last post sounded like he wasn't too far from teh final path, so I bet a bunch is completed on his pc. rip that data.

We will never know, but I feel boy hero had so much left unfinished. You have the ending we didn't get where we find out what happens in the mansion. But there is also stuff that looked like he thought about adding but didn't get to. There's the adventuring part in the Inn, where one guy has a crush on teh girl. So we could have had teh side content of the girl getting nailed by the other guy or mayor. We also had the other town girls and we did find out that the mayor was fucking. So we could have had those scenes too.

Ultimately I think it's best to just let is be done. While I think N_Taii is one of the few who could do it well, I think without permission from the original creator or their family it's just not worth doing. Who knows, the original dev might return from his Isikai and drop the update in 10yrs. lol
