Notification of the development of Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG (provisional) and a request
🕑 Added 2019-10-28 06:07:00 +0000 UTCLong time no see, everyone. It's Kenkou Cross.
Updates have been stalled, but I'm terribly sorry for keeping you all waiting!
It has been quite a while, but I think I would like to discuss my policy concerning the development of the “Monster Girl Encyclopedia” series from here on out and make a request to my supporters.
■Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG (provisional)
~An erotic RPG in which, after being milked by encountered monster girls, you adventure! together while getting frisky~
Until now, I've introduced the monster girls and worldview of “Monster Girl Encyclopedia” through text, illustrations, and doujinshi, but the time is at hand to make more than just something you read and look at. I want to make the kind of work where you can interact with and be assaulted by monster girls, and so, I'm currently developing a game “Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG (provisional)” with RPG Maker VX Ace so that everyone can play it!
“Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG” is a game where you'll be assaulted by monster girls and have lewd things done to you, and afterward, you can enjoy adventuring together while having sex with monster girls who become your wives! The many monster girls you'll encounter everywhere you go will sexually assault you to try and make you their husband. All monster girls are beings endowed with the power of a succubus, specialized for charming, having sex with, and wringing essence out of men... You can do lewd things to them too, but even if you try to take the initiative by making them climax over and over, they'll just delight in your aggression and enjoy the situation of being attacked, so you can't beat a monster girl with sex. Once you're pounced on by them, that's it... Your penis will be fondled, engulfed, and sucked on, and you'll be milked as much as they please...
However, in “Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG (provisional)”, even after getting milked by a monster girl in such a manner and losing, you can keep playing. When figuring out what sort of things would delight your monster girl partners, you have more than just erotic options, as you can beg, whisper of love, or try confessing...
And the thing is, if you lose after a monster girl's “charm gauge” is filled up, after wringing you dry, the monster girls will join you as allies, and you can have them aid you in your quest, or do erotic things wherever you go, such as at inns or even in the shade of rocks! Even just by ejaculating, having them swallow your semen, or pouring it inside, a monster girl's “charm gauge” will still go up, so don't hesitate to let them make you ejaculate and let's lose pleasurably!
■Concerning development policy, outlook, and the format of release
Presumably development will continue over a long period of time, so I plan on making it available to everyone supporting me on Enty, fantia, and Patreon as soon as it is partially finished to a certain degree. My target is to have the equivalent of the prologue actually playable and released within the next year, after which we will be performing periodic updates that gradually expand the world and add new races... I've concluded that this is the sort of format in which I want to pursue development.
“Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG (provisional)” is based around the concept, “together with monster girls”, so in addition to the erotic scenes where you're assaulted and milked by encountered monster girls, I also intend to put effort into the adventure with monster girls after being joined together as well as the lovey-dovey stuff, and thoroughly flesh out each and every monster girl. Also, it would be sad if it ends up like, “It's 'Monster Girl Encyclopedia', but there are only 10 types of monster girls!”, “My favorite monster girl isn't in it!”, so you'll have to be patient, but eventually, I think I want to make it so that you can get frisky with all the races.
However, in that case, the volume of both text and work is going to become quite vast... Supposing I keep working on it until it's complete before selling it on DLsite, there will be problems such as the following:
“During the game's development, I won't get around to other work such as adding new races, doujinshi, etc., so I won't be able to announce new works related to Monster Girl Encyclopedia”.
“It'll take several years until the game is completed, so I'll keep everyone waiting for a long time”.
“I'll starve to death while I'm making it”.
Considering the financial and temporal issues, it seems more realistic to make a medium length title featuring about 20~30 races, or a short title with 10 races or less, and sell it.
But according to the concept previously mentioned, it has to have more than just an enjoyable story. I have a strong passion and determination to make it so that you're “together with monster girls” and you can play in “the world of Monster Girl Encyclopedia”. And since for that, I'll need to take my time and carefully craft it without paying any heed to profitability, please let me use this sort of format for handling the release. Until now, I have been humbly receiving awfully warm support from everyone, and it's thanks to you all that I've been able to continue working on Monster Girl Encyclopedia. You are truly a lifesaver. Thank you so much! Once again, this is a rude request, but I would be grateful if you'd keep supporting me from now on too...!
Additionally, I'm talking several years down the line, but when the game is complete, I plan to sell the finished version on DLsite, etc., and I've decided that I want to distribute a copy of both the DL version and the packaged version along with exclusive goods, etc. for the wonderful supporters who have contributed at least as much in total as the price of the packaged version during development.
■Concerning the ways support funds will be used
I plan to use the money I humbly receive from all you wonderful supporters in the ways detailed below henceforth. I have concluded that I'd like to use it so that I can spend as much time as possible on development, and additionally, if there is surplus, I would like to hire more staffers, do some outsourcing, etc. so that I can have a better game ready for everyone to play sooner.
[Development Expenses]
Currently, there are three developers, including Kenkou Cross, so I'll use the money to enable myself to personally pour all time possible into development and compensate the staff.
[Additional Staff Recruitment or Outsourcing Expenses]
Staff to assist me with the monster girls' dialogue text,
staff to compose the BGM used in game, and others as needed.
[Material Costs of the Exclusive Goods for Supporters]
I'm talking down the line when the game is nearing completion,
but I think I would like to produce and distribute exclusive goods, etc., for my wonderful supporters.
■Concerning the English Translation
There will be an extremely large amount of text. As a reference point, requesting a translator to translate the text of an erotic scene when encountering a single race of monster girl will cost around 1800 dollars in translation fees just for that. Even if I can recruit staff to work on the translation over the long term for cheaper, it would still cost quite a lot to compensate them. Moreover, implementing the translated text in game is also quite time consuming work. Personally, I think I would like to release an English version, but please understand it will only be possible if I get sufficient support funding through Patreon.
Also, if I do happen to gather more than enough funds for translation and there is a surplus, I think I would also like to look for staff who can take charge of implementing the translated text and work on patches for the English version.
■In Case Not Enough Support Funding Is Gathered
I'll have to switch to developing short to medium length works reusing the system of Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG and use the proceeds to fund Monster Girl Encyclopedia RPG. Even in that case, I still plan on periodically releasing a trial version that supporters can play, and distributing the DL version and packaged version along with exclusive goods. If it is not financially feasible, in that case development over a long period will become absolutely difficult, so I'm terribly sorry, but I would be grateful to have your understanding.

Maybe there are some overseas publishers that would be willing to help with or offer funds for a translation. JAST USA has already published both of Circle Exega's "Fallen Maidens" games and Kagura Games publishes English-transalted eroRPG games on Steam.
oh! also, more patreon tiers to encourage higher donations! maybe making game demos exclusive to higher tiers, but it's up to you!
this sounds amazing! i would recommend setting patreon goals for the game (for example, how much funding is needed to hire extra staff, or a translation team). i'll support as soon as i can, thank you for your dedication! :D

Concerning the English Translation: You should put out a request to find amateur translators. There are many JP H-games where fans have made full English patches. I would recommend putting out an English version as a test; there are some games like Breeding Season that earned over 40k per month so it is a large market.

Whoa, your game...It's like Pokemon, but better ! Just kidding ;) More seriously, It's good to hear news from you. In my opinion, I think the most important thing for us, Patreons, it's you should give us some news regulary : It's like a mark of respect. In any case, I always loved your work : First, your outstanding illustrations but last but not least, your beautiful stories about your monster girls : There isn't a wanton eroticism with you; you put a lot of time & energy to explain how your monster girls live, how they capture their men, what kind of powers/abililities they have... In short, your own universe !To be honest with you, I love the cute & harmless relationship between your monster girls and their husbands : It's really heart-warming. I just want to suggest you one thing :As one of one of your fans, I always dreamed of suggest you a idea of Monster girl who haven't found by you yet. With her own background ! For exemple, have you ever considered a "monster girl carnivorous plant" in your encyclopedia ? A "man-eating plant" ? A little illustration from time to time wouldn't hurt (I remember you haven't draw your "Jocker-card monster girl" yet <3). Drawing Monster girls suggested by some of your Patreons would be interesting ! So, In my case, I'd support and follow you to Hell, my friend. You can count on me ;)
Does that mean however that there will be no new entry in the Encyclopedia until the game is fully completed?

I’m bursting with excitement please keep us updated. And if you make higher tears I’d love to give more support

I love the idea of an MGE RPG. I've been a big fan of your work for years, so I'll fully support you so that the game one day becomes a reality.

I dont mind waiting, just make sure to give us more consistent update posts so we dont have to worry about you. I'm a huge MGE fan so I'm happy to see it expanding into new horizons. The only issue I'd have with a MGE game is that I prefer a monogamous relationship with my monster girls, however I understand that I'm probably alone in the preference, and I will enjoy the game regardless.
It can take several years to be complete you say? we already trained with miura beserk, hiatus x hiatus, and one eternal piece we can stomach the wait. Just please, complete the game before we get too old to enjoy the lewds without needing a blue pill for it :^)
Perentie
Good to hear from you! This seems to be quite a massive project so please keep us informed on how we can help. Periodic releases sound like they might be best, as that way you can work on other things and not overdo things.
Cheshire Cat
As a fan of MGE, I'm willing to help as much as I can to make this dream come true!
the great catfish
will you open a second patreon for that or will you rework this patreon for it? might help if you added more tiers so more people will come and support you i definetly look forward to it
Jyri
a wider range of patreon tiers and a demo to spread around would help with getting new supporters
As a long time fan I have no problem supporting you for years to come! Just a question out of curiosity: Who are the other two developers?
Barthurs
I'll wait as long as it takes. You gave me the best monster girl and I will always appreciate and support you.

Here I thought you dissapeared into the ether. :) Thank you very much for providing us with the details of your plan. I would like to know how much would you need from Patreon to work on an English Translation (A 1800 amount was given for translating text for a single monster girl, but I'm not sure if this is the correct one). Perhaps updating your Patreon Goals would give us a better idea.

I loveMGE and all of your work surrounding it. I couldn't tell you how ecstatic I am to hear that you're working so hard to give you English audience this game as well. So worry not. At the very least I plan on supporting you all the way. I wish you luck.
