Ok, I just finished this update and have to express my concerns. It was a good update. It could be great if it took 2 months to release it. And I understand that there always stuff happening, real-life, job, this crazy situation in the world. So I won't complain about that. What bothers me is that we have Joice, Aunt, Isabel, Rubi, Jane, Melissa, Elaine, maid, mayor, Tanya, Natsuko. There are just too many Unnecessary characters. While all of them hot, with this tempo, we won't finish this game for 2 years(if all get the same amount of content as in DOD ofc).
bro how do you visit the Aunt. Can't find her at all. Also when will the sister visit me?

Did DOD also have around 300 renders per update with a 3-4 month interval? With 3000+ patrons I expected him to have a decent rig.

Nothing to do with a faster render machine. A better render machine may produce more "output", but setting up a scene with all the little details takes time. And then each render need to undergo postwork in PS. Not every dev does it. Even DrPinkCake doesn't do it for each of his renders.

it he did it vn like he can do more than 300 renders for sure, the problem is the sandbox usually needs more code work.
In any case there may be a update next month

Stay tuned in April because we have a lot coming.

that seems to point to some update or something.

I thought Liam took over the coding? :unsure:

I am definitely being negative.
My judgement isn't based on just what happened last 2 months or so. Might I remind you, this is the same dev that started this game on unity and spent nearly 6 months worth of patreon money just to supposedly learn the engine, despite being advised to continue of ren'py, just so that he could waste more time porting it back to ren'py.

Lewdlab has been developing games for 2+ years now, in that time he's easily earnt more than 200,000 USD. easily.
He said he's got a new office and all that shit. But check the CGs of each update of midnight paradise, there are on average 250-350 images per episode and 10 animations at best. the updates rarely come out once a month.

BTW, I didn't suggest anyone abandon the game or not play it at all. Just suggested that his patreons unsubscribe till he either makes better and longer updates, or he gives up this farce and quits the game without wasting the patreons money any further. If you are ok with him taking advantage to this extent, you have the money to afford to do so, I don't, neither do a lot of people.
Anyway, not like what i said will be done. it won't even reach most of his patreons. and he'll just continue to milk the shit outta them and enjoy drawing around 20K-30K USD a month for making the bare minimum and blueballing us.

If he has problems, let him announce those problems like he has done on multiple occasions in the past and have the courtesy to pause his patreon page and not take money for not doing shit.
Why do you care about other people wallet? Not just this thread but almost any other thread turned in to whining spot for a year now. I hope for another clean-up from mods.

I know its to early to fuck Joyce but why couldn't he just do another grind scene like he did with Isabel. He still aint top that scene yet in the game. Instead he implies its about to happen just to cock block you.

Download link suggests its a beta release - best to wait for a full release? Would be waiting for the walkthrough mod anyway but just wanted to know if it will be updated again before downloading.

Working on a game myself, I can tell you that it's way more time consuming than I thought it'd be. Especially posing, getting the lighting right, actually writing a coherent story, coding story branches, etc. A good computer helps with rendering times but the vast majority of time is spent on non-rendering duties.

Especially with a sandbox type game where there are multiple decisions and multiple paths. The add animations to the whole thing and you just tripled your workload.

This whole thing has really made me respect the devs that put out small but consistent updates and stick to their schedule. I'm not making excuses, but the work that goes into making these is a lot more than I think most people think it is.

But yes, adding more and more girls really expands the breadth of the game and creates a workflow problem. Not only do you now have to render all these girls,get their poses, set up their animations, but you also need to place them in the story in a good way, or be lazy and just say they're a slut at the expense of a good story.

Basically, there are a lot of small moving parts where one small brouhaha can cause a chain reaction of delays.

She is in her room or in kitchen every morning.
Yes, thanks a lot. What's really confusing is that she is in the kitchen everyday in the morning, you can check that she's there, never thought of going instead in her room...
