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

here's another fun fact about heart squad revamp

(read the article)

da sprites

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

"Yorimashi Between Dreams and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia" from Touhou 15.5: Antinomy of Common Flowers in the style of "Flowers of Antimony" from Shovel Knight

"Knock 9 Down!" from Touhou A Live with the proper SNES instruments

A mix of Cirno's Theme from Touhou 6 EoSD and "Knock You Down!" from Live A Live

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

I'm hospitalized right now so to celebrate Cirno Day 2025 I drew Cirno getting an IV drip
