MBML - (Ch.1 - Episode 4) - [Status Report #2]
🕑 Added 2024-03-23 08:22:47 +0000 UTC
Hello, everyone!
I hope March is treating you all well!
As for the game development, it has been a really productive month!
Look, I said this update will be shorter than the previous releases, but boy... I was wrong. Right now, we're at 70% of the update in terms of dialogues, but we're already way past our estimated line count. So, I can confidently say that the playtime will be on par with the previous updates.
That said, there will be few lewd scenes for Episode 4, as we're highly focused on the main story. There are only two confirmed lewd scenes because I don't really want to break the story flow just for a few fan services. I'll just make it up to you in Chapter 2. 😅
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand...
I've made huge investments not just for this update but also for the game's future.
One thing I'd like to emphasize is the male clothes. There has been a severe lack of casual male clothing; most I feel excessively used already. Now that we're a little capable of buying assets, I took my chance to commission some, securing a rotation of outfits for Kei and other male characters (not for Shu, though😅).
I will share these with my circle of dev friends(e.g., Caribdis, KatanaVN, Aigas, Ekko, and Kainan. If you don't know them, WHY? Go check out their games!😂). But this will be something unique to us for the time being.
I also invested in a few assets, one artist for a specific scene, and a few more to mention. However, I still haven't found someone to take over the lewd scene animations for me. A few applied, but none of them could meet our expectations based on our current animation quality. So I'll have to do them myself for now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last thing I'd like to bring to everyone's attention is that I've updated my Ren'Py version from 7.4.6 to 8.2.1. Aside from a few code changes, there weren't any issues on my end. I heard from a few devs that it won't cause any issues, so your save files can still work without problems.
This will benefit Android users later on. It will allow them to bypass the 4GB download limit, so I'm eager to know how it works.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That will be all!
The next ones are all preview posts. I'm looking forward to completing the dialogues 100% before the end of the month.
As always, take care, and have a great day ahead of you!

Look like the new Life is Strange poster 😅

At this point the lewd is a bonus, the story is what captivates me
Martin Bailey
The story is what keeps me here. up there with MNF and Eternum imo
NiiChan
Yes!
SIN·II
What brings me here is every detail in a wonderful story. If someone simply wants to see obscene scenes, they can spend ten minutes downloading an AV and then enter Sage mode in a shorter amount of time.😁

Great story and characters first, everything else is just bonus. :)
The Greggen
You're very welcome NiiChan. I can't wait for more of your lovely story. :)
NiiChan
Exactly! At the end of the day, it is still a porn game, but what I want to deliver is story. Without the story, the lewds are just lewds.
NiiChan
Thanks, Messe!
Jaxx
I love the fact that you put so much effort into the story and don't use the lewd scenes as a crutch.
NiiChan
Thanks for the push, Gregory!

Oh hell nahh...! I'm gonna give her what she deserves. :pepeevil: But that doesn't mean more sex.

Boo 👇 don’t discount moon’s arc!

Awesome news. Thank you for the update and keep up the great work.
Messè
Great news, indeed! Excited to see the investments in action! Keep up the amazing work!
