LISA The Hopeful - Heart Squad Revamp
1 year ago

now that Ace of Hearts the mod is out and about, I've been thinking of renaming the battle theme for this mod

how does "Cold Hearted Triumvirate" sound?


other candidates were "Gunpowder Snow" and "Hail to the Triumvirate" but the former sounded too basic and only focused on Ludd as opposed to all three, and the latter seems like it's trying too hard and is missing anything referencing hearts or love

i think this current one is a perfect balance of concise and thematic

i will admit, i just nabbed the word "Triumvirate" from a thesaurus when searching for synonyms of "trio", so i think that's the one word that can change, but "Cold Hearted" is very fitting for the situation and characters

cool sprite of Mokou made by a friend of mine

really makes you want to get your own sprite, huh?

well guess what, YOU CAN!!

said friend is currently open for commissions!

get yourself the sprite of your dreams, one commission away!

i've been reminiscing about this mod a lot, i guess that shows how much i'm proud of it.

anyway, here's a little joke that never made it outside of the contest server, made really early in development as you can see from the sprites.

Version 1.3.0 is out!

here's another fun fact about...well, not necessarily heart squad revamp, but I did use the same project file for this

this was the unused version of the image for the Deflowering Night video

the bottom part looked empty, so I changed it

this one isn't as interesting as the last one, but i figured i'd show this anyway

an older version of the title screen, with a less red background and different music

"Commanding Reincarnation" from Touhou A Live with the proper SNES instruments

A mix of Mima's Theme from Touhou 3 PoDD and "Heroic Struggle" from Live A Live

here's more fun fact about heart squad revamp

Captain Square from Live A Live with 2A03 instruments (now it's truly retro!)

da BETA sprites

i was following the hopeful style really closely with biggie and richie without really improving upon it, plus they just looked bad in general

as for knocked down ludd...no idea, i used up all my spriting power on his normal sprite
