Nobody shared the last one tho
looks like you are right. So here it is.


Previous progress report from SEP 27, 2021.



Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
Moana is still working on the update and I’m continuing to write farm continuation.

Character art upgrade unfortunately takes a lot of time, especially with the rest of the breast sizes that we’re implementing in advance. Moana is doing her best to finish testing and fixing it and we will upload our new version as soon as possible.
I can’t give you a specific date, but I can say this - one more “progress report” and then the new version will finally arrive.
Since we ran out of things to say about the upcoming version and are working on making them a reality, this post is primarily focused on the “Farm” update that I’m currently writing.


Above you can see an edited version of our newest “Boobjob” event. I edited it because I didn’t want to spoil it too much and because it was fun:)
The red haired girl is called “Rosie” and just like in the case of our “Sugartits” NPC (the blond-pink one), her face was generated by an AI and edited by me.

In the event itself, the background is “Farm” instead of the “red square” and there's dicks instead of Lenins between the breasts. Plus, everyone except for Kira, is wearing either black gloves and stockings or cow patterned ones (based on content preference). Pregnancy, lactations and stockings will be shown in this event and it’s not limited to Kira.
It’s also worth mentioning that later down the line it will be possible to enlarge the breasts of the other girls and the event was already drawn and coded with that possibility in mind.
In order to enlarge their breasts, you’ll need to allow Red Kira to save you from Snowball at the Farm and this leads me to the next major change:

I created a quick graph above, hoping that it manages to convey the message - I changed the “Barn” intro and restructured the routes.
Note:
It won’t be implemented in the next update, it will be added in the one that comes after it. I’m still writing “Red Kira” path.
Currently accessible route won’t be changed at all, except for the intro. Now, instead of “the bet”, Kira will be straight up kidnapped. As for the “Sharon” route, it will be integrated into the new “Red Kira” path.
In the new intro, Kira will have to either accept her “training” or allow her Red counterpart to take control.
However, this time it will be different and instead of waking up later on and figuring out what the “red one” did, Kira will be watching from the backseat - they will literally switch places and you will play as Red Kira for a couple of days.
I’m adding this route because it’s significantly easier to do this than to write for a regular Kira. Because red Kira has no “lust” or “intelligence”, her dialogue lines are the same in all cases.
Plus, so far I had a ton of fun writing for her and I hope you all will enjoy this alternative path.
The events that this path will feature are primarily focused on other characters, again, because it’s significantly easier to draw other characters. A good example of that is what I already mentioned - you will be able to enlarge the breasts of other girls, because why not?
I’m hoping that this addition will allow us to produce more content in a shorter period of time and I also hope that you will enjoy this alternative to the submissive Kira.

That’s all I wanted to say today.
Moana is still figuring out what’s wrong with our systems and I’m writing the continuation of the Farm whenever my services are not needed.

There really are a lot of changes in code this time around. Due to the increased amount of pictures and layers Moana added a loading screen that preloads everything every time you enter the location. The title screen was altered, the interface, the “squat boy”, the logic behind breasts, outfits and fetishes.
She went through a colossal amount of work, we both did, and not surprisingly, there’s a lot of bugs. We do not aim for a bugless release, but we are hoping to fix everything that we can.
It’s been a long time since we started this expansion and this truly is a finish line, thank you all for your patience and support, I assure you - the end is near!

Latest progress report (OCT 31, 2021)



Howdy! Here’s what’s up:

This is the last progress report before an update. I’ve dragged this moment for as long as I could, to be certain that we'll stay true to our word.

As a side effect of that, this post has a lot of new information for both the upcoming version and the next one that’s already in the works.


There’s been some complications due to the change of layers and the amount of new body-mods Kira now has (plus personal life), but they are more or less resolved now.

As you may have noticed, we’re drowning under the sea of body-mods Kira has, but worry not comrades - I know how to swim:

The character art expansion doubled the size of Kira’s art, because I drew all planned (and unplanned) mods in advance to resolve this issue forever. We also did our best to write, code and draw new events with everything in mind, which significantly complicated an already complex situation.

That said, we had two ideas on how we could cut some corners and release content faster.

First idea is to have more events that don't feature Kira and the second one is to utilize her “Red” version a bit differently and more often.

We also decided to let you customize Farm NPCs (to some extent) and we changed the artwork in the upcoming “harassment” event (previously it reused assets).

New additions to the next version (0.4.9.3):

-
We’ll temporarily add the ability to customize the appearance of Kira’s Farm “colleagues”.

- New pose for the “harassment system” (I previously re-used existing ones from gym etc.)

- New character art for male Vivarium NPCs.

New additions to the future versions (most likely in 0.4.9.4):

-
Three new NPCs with their own stories and events (technically they will be added in 0.4.9.3, but they will have a placeholder dialogue.

- Random voyeuristic events with said NPCs



Once the next version will drop, our development cycle will become easier, but it will still be difficult due to the body-mods and mental changes.

The easiest solution would be to cut out half of everything.
Merge Lust and Intelligence into one stat and remove half of our body-mods (at least a half). However, this was a “body-mod” game from day 1 and that’s the game we want to make. So, let’s talk about the alternative.

Our first idea is to utilize “Red” Kira more and give her more H-events, but... She will always look the same (one outfit and no body-mods).

I intend to make her unique in her own way, but she will always temporarily transform Kira into her “prefered” shape whenever she takes over her body. It’s also worth mentioning that “Red” Kira has no alternative dialogue, intelligence and lust doesn’t work on her, so it’s easier to write for her. But, most importantly - I really do like writing her lines.

Since she will become a more prominent character, I think it’s about time we properly neme her.

From now on,“Red Kira” wil be known as Killer Queen, and we’ll alter her initial dialogue in 0.4.9.4.

If you don’t mind this, we’ll conduct some polls to pick her default appearance and move on with the plan. (with her events on the table - we will be able to breathe a bit easier).

Now, for the next solution:



We want to start writing events that don't feature Kira at all and I also want to reuse our Art. In this particular case, I’ve decided to give the girls some customisation, effectively they are “mini-Kiras” when it comes to their art (they have ~12 layers, Kira has 100).

I did this because the art is reused and I’m afraid they might become dull rather quickly.

In (0.4.9.3) you will be able to customize the ladies from the options above, but there’s a few things that you need to know:

-
Their appearance will be reset to Default in 0.4.9.4 (cows for players with lactation or pregnancy content enabled, black latex for players without it)

-There will be a vendor that sells all these items (including items for Kira) later on

-All of that is shown in events

-Because you’re not meant to leave the Farm or customize them for free, the text might not make sense in some cases (only when it comes to pregnancy)

-Their dialogue is a placeholder for now and we’re only including this in the next version because we want to test it.

I also want to make them a bit more unique for the players that have lactation/pregnancy disabled, so we will add different tails and headbands in 0.4.9.4.

So please do tell me what animals you want to see the girls cosplaying as (dog? horse? pig? bunny? This is an “Animal Farm” after all).

P.S:
When Vivarium’s vendor will be added, all players will be able to dress them at will (if the necessary affection will be reached), don't worry.



Above you can see what I meant - I intend to reuse the artwork from the “boobjob” event and create individual events for Kira’s “colleagues”.

This move would cost us nothing and I believe it will further increase the immersion (even though the artwork is reused).

I also want to create the same events that Kira already experienced in Vivarium, but with the girls instead of her.

In other words, I plan to have a ton of events where the art is reused and Kira is an offscreen observer - to limit our workload.

P.S:
Of course we’ll continue to work on events for Kira, but she’s grown to be quite difficult to manage and we need to upload new versions more regularly.



I’ve already mentioned that some dialogue won’t make sense because you’re not meant to leave the farm. Here’s why:

All girls will have their own storylines and “affection” levels (without any grind, as per usual). The piercing that “Rosie” rocks on the example above has a purpose, Rosie has an oral obsession and whenever she tries to go for someone's tit or dick - it hurts both her and her victim.

In her case, if or rather “when” Kira will remove her piercing - an event will immediately trigger. Cow Kiras will have to protect their breasts, while Kira’s without lactation or pregnancy enabled will have to protect their crotch.

So, in the boobjob event she has her piercing removed, while her character art might still have it. And Sugartits (blond one) can’t get pregnant without the quest.

The main point of this part is to show you an example of events without Kira and what Farm ladies will do in the future. Writing this was interesting to me and I hope you’ll also find their storylines to your liking.



Now, this is a new thing that I recently did. Initially, this event used the artwork that you already saw in Gym, AUGS shop and Imperator. But I’ve decided to draw yet another pose for our system given how much time has passed.

The best part of this is the fact that this is a part of our “harassment” system, meaning that Moana just has to follow a formula and we don’t even have to test it. This also means that adding new things to it (like a tattoo) will automatically upgrade other events that use this.

Ultimately, all our events have to become like this - automated. And we’re still figuring out how to properly do that.

Oh, and that’s a new random Vivarium NPC. 0.4.9.3 will add character art to some Vivarium fellas and I think this addition will further increase the immersion.



I hope you can understand that sometimes we get too overwhelmed because of the amount of alternative dialogue and art, especially when things don't work out the way we envisioned them. But, I assure you, we’re not going anywhere and we’re dead set on finishing the game.

I also hope that this post conveys what I’ve been saying for the past couple of months - I’m already working on the new content, we’re delaying only because Kira’s character art doesn't work yet due to it growing twice the size of the previous version. (Plus, I couldn't help myself and there are some surprises)

With that out of they way, I really do want to know your opinion on everything I’ve mentioned in this post:

-
What alternative costumes should the girls have? (one each, so ideally they should be different).

- Are you okay with me reusing art?

- What do you think about the idea of giving “Killer Queen” one permanent appearance?

- Any ideas on how “Killer Queen” should look?

Thank you all for your patience and support, we’re doing our best and I’m certain that my next post will finally be a positive one! The end is near!

Remember when this was a cool game about a retrofuture USSR and a main character who wasn't sure what side she was on?

I miss that game. I am utterly disinterested in the new game about freakshow mammary modifications. I wonder if there's a way to convince Mulan to let someone else continue the original game, while Mulan works on this one.

Joe, I remember you from our very first 0.1 and I’m not going to lie - seeing you now being displeased - it hurts.

Sorry, but I'm just being honest. You are doing what your patrons want, but I think that doing that has led you away from the game I was so excited about. I understand why you feel you have to do this, but the whole farm thing has just turned me off from the game. I'm just hoping that you can get back to that cool and funny game someday.

I can only hope that with the groundwork it looks like mulan has been working on, it will free up time to allow for more proper story development. At the same time, i'm very curious as to how the game might have been different had mulan had all this knowledge and experience back when they started working on the game.
First games from game creators are usually a bit rough around the edges, perhaps in a few years when mulan has finished this game, and considers starting on their second, it won't have such growing pains.

Regardless, all that there is, is to wait and see

Mind you, i'm perhaps biased as i like big tiddies and while i wish we had more like the prison sequence, i also like the farm

freakshow mammary modifications
Gonna argee on that one. Most characters have them already big enough, why on earth would you want to make them even bigger, more so to the completely ridiculous sizes. Mind you, drawing and programming that ridiculous sizes are the reason for slowed down developement only Mulan knows for how much, but I guess it's much.
All that time and effort wasted. It could've been spent on developing different looking Red-Kiras. Visually staged pregnancies. Story and events. Different makeups. Clothing. Ah, sweet dreams.

wow this site is generally abandoned and suddenly turns into a avalanche of feelings.
Although the part of the farm is not the best of the game personally, I think it has a funny story and of course, there is Sharon who is one of my favorite characters and I hope she continues to grow up in the story! (at least in the farm part)
Regarding what many say about the role of patreons in relation to the story, if I may, I think you have to find a balance between doing something that you like as a dev and reach expectations (otherwise this turns to be another horrible job you want to leave as soon as possible, counting the minutes of the office clock). of course this is a easy thing to say, but a difficult thing to confront ... so, I cannot judge, if not simply give an opinion from the comfort of an external situation that Mulan is currently going through (sure, if it is the case)
Either way, Mulan, sharing his feelings so openly makes him a much more human developer than others who simply go to the stock market to withdraw money. he really DOES care, despite what many others here think. actually i think he have to be a really nice person irl
keep going Mulan, you doing right despite everything you can read here. And, again, if i may... never forget why you started this. That's the only way

by the way
impossibleis7 thx for sharing!

Its funny that you say that something is wasted time and then come up with other things which other people might consider wasted time.
Which just shows that taste differs.

True. But I highly doubt the amount of people that prefer all that titswork over thing I said is that big. To put that much work into a pretty specific kink is a waste in my book while you could put it into some other aspects that doesn't make your characters look ridiculous, for ones, but hell, what would I know, maybe that kink is way more popular then I think.
Suum cuique I guess.

It's definitely a shame. Discovering this game was like a breath of fresh air. I've given Mulan more money than any other game dev out there because I genuinely believed in the project. The atmosphere and creativity are second to none even after multiple playthroughs and the mind-control/bimbofication aspects are like nothing else out there. Personally I was holding out for updates to the 'new you' story-line which never materialized, instead having to be content with sporadic feature creep that never felt finished or particularly relevant.
I think several whole games could have been made about kira fighting/submitting to the overseer and the shadowy communist system at large, just as a the vivarium, gym, prison and movie studio could all be their own games. Mulan is a far sight more creative than most of the devs on here but as a result needs someone to reign them in - back to reality.

I think I'm finally done with this game. I've spent time and money rooting for mulan but until he's able to reset and focus on clearly defined goals (of his choosing, not those of his patreons) I'm out. The dev of 'female agent' managed to reign himself in after getting similarly distracted which has helped both him and the game so I know its possible.

I sometimes when dev seems confused of what humans look like advocate polling people on what design they find appealing.
This seems like a good time to start doing it.
