Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (166) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Good evening people, Scriptor here with the latest news bulletin!

General news

Small headsup, for some reason I’m unable to respond to Pixiv messages at the moment! I’ve no idea why, but I just can’t seem to send anything, and I can’t find a way to fix it either (oof). I hope it will fix itself soon, but in the meantime whenever you send me a Pixiv message: Attach your email or discord tag so I can get back to you! 😅🙈

Game development

I’ve made good headway in the introductory part of Thornvine Estate: I will hold off on spoiling exactly how and what: But between a heated discussion with Jack back at the nexus, and a certain prisonship A.I. getting wind of Kathleen’s jumping between the different VR-worlds… It’s shaping up to be quite the shitshow for poor ol’ Kathleen! Sufficed to say that getting dropped into another VR-world (Thornvine) than planned doesn’t sit well with Kathleen, so she’ll be eager to get out of the place. Not that this will be easy mind you; after all what’s a good story without some (shiny) obstacles to overcome for our heroine, right? >;3

Besides writing and coding all the Thornvine intro the game, I’ve also been hard at work on mapping the various Thornvine maps. As stated before I want to get these done (right) as soon as possible, since there’s a lot of them this time around and I want to do the place justice. I’ve also made custom sprites for Violet in-game; can’t miss those! ^^

I reckon that I can put in the final “introductory” stuff this week, including meeting some old “friends” from the desert VR-world in Thornvine’s undercroft. Goal is to get started on the battle code and Primrose events next week, so that afterwards I can give my full attention to the playable fail-state. 💪

Onto the teasers!

Teasers

The first in-game teaser of Thornvine Estate! Starting at the front door, Kathleen’s (not) surprised to find a very rubbery maid greeting her at the front door… Though she’s not catching on (yet) as to what simulation she’s wound up in!

And the second in-game teaser, of the Estate’s entrance hall! I really want the place to scream “fancy” while also having something slightly foreboding. ^^

And the final in-game teaser for this dev update: An ultra-smug Violet doing what she does best: Talking down on anybody she deems beneath her (read: everybody). >;3

And that’s all for this dev update, see you all coming Sunday as usual! ^^

Greetz,

Scriptor
