Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (155) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Heya people, Scriptor here with the latest dev news!

Game development

I’ve been hard at work on the (repeatable) work event and “end-day” event images in the upcoming Thornvine playable fail-state. Just like in the Salon Sweeties playable fail-state and the kitty cat one in the desert I want to make them repeatable, and if possible also add in a little bit of randomness this time like in locations and NPCs: To prevent them from becoming “stale” after a few runs.

It required me to make a lot of “background” NPCs (like in Salon Sweeties), with all sorts of interesting visitors to Thornvine estate in Kat’s new life of being a Thornvine maid doll. Staying in the theme of “all background characters are the same” the game has for these NPCs, they’re nonetheless divided up into distinct “social classes”. With visitors as learned professors, haughty nobles, distinguished navy commanders and exotic nobles from lands far away all coming to Thornvine… And all expecting some extra “services” of the rubber maids, Kathleen included! >;3

As such I’m about halfway done with the work images; with the first day’s tasks images (cleaning rooms, can’t go without that one during a maid bad end) being fully done. Today I’ll be focusing on the other two day tasks, and afterwards dive into the “end day” event that will play each time Kat successfully completes a day task… Or not. ;p

Goal is still to finish up these images before the end of this week, though it might just spill a bit into the Monday/Tuesday if something comes up this weekend. Nonetheless I’m working hard to stay on track; the coming update’s gonna be big, but I also don’t want to make you guys wait “too long” to play it. ;3 ^^

Onto the teasers!

Teasers

First up a teaser of the cleaning gear Kathleen will be equipped with during the first day’s task. Those holes in the ball hands allow for all sorts of handy tools to be connected to the doll, with two dusters being a regular for dolls tasked with cleaning duty!

Taking care of the various rooms of the estate, the dolls can be seen dusting away both heavy and delicate objects. An interesting thing to note is that during this fail-state Kathleen is still SLIGHTLY in control of her actions at the start, which requires her to carefully follow the suit’s motions during fine work…

Or risk making a mess of things! She can also of course actively work towards this outcome, putting up a (albeit feeble) resistance to her predicament! I doubt that Violet will like this though… And don’t forget she has “ways” to deal with dolls who fail to “fall in line”. ;0

And finally a teaser of a noble guest having some fun with the maid doll! Kat can better hope that the rooms she’s been assigned to don’t (or do) have a visiting guest inside it… Since they’ll not miss the chance to request some “extra service”! >;3

And that’s all for this dev update, catch you all coming Sunday! ;3

Greetz,
