Proof of Life #256: More details on the next update
January 13
Heya you rascals, how are you doing in this fine morning/afternoon/evening? I know it’s barely been two weeks, but I hope 2025’s treating you well so far! If that’s not the case, worry not, for I have something to make it better! Yes, it’s another PoL! Who would have thought?
The past week has been spent mostly writing the script for the next update, and commissioning a whole bunch of stuff. It’s now 95% done. I just need to have the last 5% ready as well as write the two last scenes (I’ve already written the first two).
I usually don’t spend so much time writing early on, but as I mentioned last PoL, HC3’s main artist is going to be unavailable for a good 1-2 months before the end of this week, so I had to commission as much stuff as possible before that. That meant having a good grasp of the scenes, spicy or not, and which one would require what custom sprite to work.
Anyway, as I’ve said, I’m mostly done with that, and I’ve started development of the new update in earnest. It should go more smoothly this time since I’ve got it all written on virtual paper. I’m also pretty happy with what I’ve come up with. By the way, I’m trying to improve my writing by… writing less. Yep. The whole “show not tell”, as they call it. I’m adding some more symbolism as well, and skimming off some unnecessary dialogues. I’m doing what I can, because with low-details pixel art, it can get pretty challenging to show things without explaining or narrating them. We’ll see how it goes. The spicy scenes themselves will remain pretty much the same.
This update will contain a bit less scenes than the previous one, three in total (2 for Rose, 1 for Cyanna) and one extra scene. The extra scene will be Cyanna and Ulrod, and I’ll just adapt the whole “Cyanna picking her new swimsuit with Ulrod” idea I laid out in the last extra scene PoL as a flashback so people don’t have to replay through update 17 to see it. Since everyone will be back to the capital by the end of the update, I’ll probably be able to add 1-2 freeroam events as well. Not too many since I’m already adding a few mini-scenes for Haylen and Lily in this update.
Okay, I think I’ve said all I had to say~ Thank you for sticking by me, everyone, I’m deeply grateful for you support. I’ll be doing my best not to disappoint!
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!
