Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (149) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Heya people, Scriptor here with the latest exclusive Wednesday dev update!

Game development

The beta of v0.25.1 is looking stable, and the update will be released to Tier III backers on coming Friday; somewhere before 20:00 CET. Play-testing brought up some things which have been attended to, and I’ve been working on sneaking in another epilogue scene: Which will see the twins getting more suspicious of things… since Kat had managed to enter two simulations, the first ever prisoner to do so. It’s only a small scene, though it should give a more fitting tone the game’s ending if Kat managed to pass the desert VR-world. ^^

On another note, I’ve decided to scrap the (unnamed, secret) POV comic side-project. Doing such a big project besides working on the No escape updates has been… A bit much, too much even. And I noticed it had started to such me dry; both energy and passion-wise. I reckon most of you didn’t even knew I had the project in the works, since I try to keep a tight lid on managing expectations. As my old mentor at work used to say: Better to undersell and surprise people, than to oversell and disappoint.

Not all is lost however! Since one of the joys of doing 3D art is that you can re-use the assets from one project for another. As such I’ll be using the comic’s assets in the next No escape update and other future projects. I think the main lesson gathered from this is that I need to learn to manage my time and energy more efficiently, and take breaks were needed to prevent draining myself (read: a day or two off in the weekends every now and then). ;3

Onto the teasers!

Teasers

Only two teasers this time around; from the small second epilogue aboard the prison ship. With the twins quite amazed as to how a prisoner managed to get into two different simulations…

Though the end result is still a thoroughly mind wiped prisoner, so no harm done. Right? >;3

And that’s all for this dev update, see you guys in two days; at the release party of No escape V0.25.1! ^^

Greetz,

Scriptor
