Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (327) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Evening folks, ol’ Scriptor here with the latest dev news!

Game development

I’ve started working on the custom spritework for Ais’ playground! With the last base images rendered out last Friday, the dev cycle now officially ticks into the coding/writing phase again. Meaning we’re about 2/3rds of the way to the next No escape build! 💪

First thing that I’ll be tackling for this writing/coding phase is the custom spritework; primarily because there’s quite A LOT to be done for it this time around. Most of the 3D graphics I’ve been making in the past few weeks will also have (or rather need) representation on the 2D map; to bridge the gap between the two so to speak. Some of the upcoming stuff is also quite a bit “in-depth” on that regard (like the worm pods; which will be quite akin the rubber flowers in terms of interactivity), so combine that with like ~5 (small) traps in the first area and wiggle fun in the third. Yeah, it’s quite a bit of spriting this time around! 😅

So to get the biggest hurdle out of the way early this writing/coding phase (which is definitely said sprite work), I’ll be focusing primarily on those for the coming week. Aiming to have most (if not all) of the major sprite work done before the week rolls over!

Side project news

And on the side-project side of things, I’m picking up the “Best Friends Forever” comic again! It’s been on a short(ish) hiatus; with me tackling the Lara Croft cow comic and a small commission in the interim. But with both of those out of the way, focus is now back into the second chapter of the Best Friends Forever comic!

The second chapter picks up right where the first one left off: So expect to see Christine in some very squeaky trouble, as she learns just how deep Bambi’s “affection” runs for her...even if said affection might not be mutual (or at least not yet)! No E.T.A. on the second chapter yet (I’ve setup the first load of images yesterday), but it’s now my (sole) focus for the side-project slot again. Expect me to tease/talk about it from time to time going forward. 💪

Oh and expect that small commish I just mentioned to drop for Tier I before the month rolls over! I would’ve posted it already, were it not that there’s a good chance the OC’s owner writes another stellar story to go along with it... So to give him some time to cook I’ll be keeping the commish under the wraps for a little while longer. Though no longer than the end of the month. (Hear that bud? Yea got two weeks!) 😉😜

And now onto the teasers!

Teasers

“Ummfff...what...happened...?”

‘Whatever Bambs injected me with knocked me out COLD... One moment I was laying on the cold, stone floor. And the next I was here...in some sort of rubber padded cell. I’d almost think they’d tossed me in the looney bin, were it not for those “tools” hanging on the wall...’

“Still I think it’s about time I get out of here, hopefully they’ve left this door unlocked too-“

*SQUEAK*

‘Mhm, why can’t I-‘

“Oh no.”

“NONONONONO- CRAP!!!”

And today’s the first teasers of the second chapter of the “Best Friends Forever” comic on the menu! Think the teasers largely speak for themselves, if not the tag on the deflated orb Christine currently finds herself in. >;3

And that’s all for this dev update, see you all at the next one this Wednesday!

Greetz,

Scriptor
