Most likely there will be gym, with new clothes, ass expansion and public sex. I dont think there will be more than a couple of scenes with some alterations since mulan made full dive into patreon milking regime.
Just out of curiosity, what was his production like before doing his "patreon milking regime"?

Stable updates once a month, 1-3 scenes each. Instead of patreon poll shiet piercing content he was adding main quest chain.

Progress Report

Greetings! Here’s what’s up:

We won’t make it till tomorrow, and so I will show you what caused the hold-up this time around (it’s gropings system).
I know it sucks, but we have our hands tied - it’s just not ready and I can’t finish my part of the required work in time. If it helps - I’m spending every minute awake working on the game, no parties for Mulan until it’s ready.

Of course I will extend our “warranty” - I will make a public post explaining that everyone who pledged over the last three month can DM me and get v0.4.7. Due to my severe lapse of judgement (Making this update a giant one, instead of splitting it into three or four smaller ones) I feel like I owe everyone that much.

Now, what’s causing our delay?

Due to my severe lapse of judgement (Making this update a giant one, instead of splitting it into three or four smaller ones) I feel like I owe everyone that much.

Now, what’s causing our delay?


P.S: Our new expression (bottom right Kira) - It’s meant to look like she’s biting her lower lip, and I’m not sure if I managed to convey that, so please tell me what you think.

On top of our new “five staged” squatting event (fifth stage is a customisable and repeatable version) We have new Katya groping (which I teased a while ago), one gym “set up” groping with multiple choices, four unique gym events (body writings, self grope and two male gropings). And four repeatable and randomized versions of said events with two random partners.

When you’ll complete the gym's main storyline (around 4 ingame days), you will unlock an option to choose what to wear (gym normal, gym revealing and naked) at the locker. This, along with body writings will be what you’ll see in all gym events.

All our new text is as complex as our new art, because gym is accessible right at the start of the game. It has only one requirement - 10 Lust, but it’s bypassable by fetishes (Kira just won’t refuse if she has them), it’s only there due to Kira having no reason to humiliate herself at the gym - she does all of the “gym stuff” because she personally wants to. Text references fetishes, quest completion, whether or not Kira has “Red Kira” or even “Lenn-Y”, intelligence, lust and some aspects of Kira’s appearance. Oh, and it has choices on top of that.

Because of that and the fact that gym gropings have over 60 pages of text - It felt wrong for us to use just one pose of Kira ("V.2" from the picture). That’s why I’ve drawn more, as you can see on the teaser( "V.3" from the picture ).

The problem and the reason behind the delay is all the customization.

Example:
Each arm exists for each breast size, both Kira’s arms and male arms. We’re only including two breast sizes in v0.4.7 (first and third). but it’s still a lot of work - 16 arms. At this point of development, we need hundreds of pictures for our events, which is sometimes a had thing to do, especially when you’re limited by “time”.

That’s what I mean when I say “I just need to edit and save pictures” - I have to draw their variations for each possible physical change.

Right now I need to draw 6 arms for “red hood man”, add shadows to some poses, and make sure that everything is layered properly. The poses are already drawn, they have all they need - breasts, hips, lips, tattoos, piercings, hair, expressions, arms, gym outfit, body writings, Katya and One out of two “groping” dudes are also complete.

How much time will it take? - I think just a couple of days, but I’m always wrong.


I need to finish editing and saving new art, which shouldn’t take a lot of time (I hope). Besides that, we’re good to go. I hope and believe that it will only take a couple of days for us to finish it. But, due to us working on a “deadline” I chose to spoil what we’re doing in this post to hopefully reassure you that we’re working.

We really do not have any ill intentions, so I will repeat myself here again - I will make a public post explaining that everyone who pledged over the last three month can DM me and get v0.4.7.

Everything we’re doing is absolutely necessary for our game - it’s our vision, we really care about it and we really want to be able to complete it, which is impossible without your financial, creative and moral support. So thank you all for tolerating our weirdness, poor management choices and our completely random release schedule!

One day. An update will come. Then hopefully the next month we'll get the new "new you" content. Hopefully.

I told you about permutations, bro! I told you! I tell everyone about permutations and they never listen. How can you just ignore archdemon Permutos - bringer of extra work, destroyer of free time, ruiner of relaxed work days?

Anyway. Screens look fantastic. Really looking forward to the release.

I cancelled my Pateron sub a couple months back, a bit after the release of 4.6, and I haven't really looked back.

I appreciate the effort that's being put into this game and I do hope the game ends up doing well as it's one of my favorites on this site, but Mulan has long since fallen into a pattern of missed deadlines, empty promises, and straight up absenteeism (this one is the worst). He seems to have very little regard for his supporters, whether intentional or not. It's just not worth my money - not because of the long gaps between releases but purely because of the way he treats his supporters.

At this point I just check this thread and the public Discord every week or two to see what's new and I can't say I'm surprised that nothing seems to have changed.

Same feeling, amazing game, nice concept and lot of good idea, but the dev doesn't respect his word and from my point of view seek a kind of impossible perfection. Anyway we should keep in mind he is on the top dev for this kind of art. I would prefer a Patreon pleadge at each relase instead of month pleadge, like

Autor kills his own game. Not the first time, not the last. Mostly because when you have stable 2k on patreon, you already have no stimul to have constant and often updates. Untill payments drop significantly. Than you start working, but your own interest is lost, so you will fail.

I know it sucks, but I have faith that we'll see an update soon. Don't be too hard on the dev. :giggle:
Posting dates is a bad practice though as we've seen over and over again, so better go with the old Blizzard mantra of "when it's done" and keep the patreon page alive with plenty of development updates.

Its hard to have faith in autor when he have been couhgt lying and manipulating. Mulan lied in discord about relese in last days of december and dissapeared from it, and his last patteon post from febuary 29 manipulated patrons to belive in early March release. Maybe he is not a complete fraud, but he started using their moves.

I had been pledged to these guys for a few months about a year ago but after zero updates to the game whatsoever and pointless dev blogs that showed no productivity I had to cancel. Haven't looked back and if I could I'd go back in time and stop myself from pledging to begin with.
The art is great and the concept seems intersting however the game is not really good when you look at it from an overall perspective. The map design is terrible and confusing, the writing is boring and the quests are buggy and not fun. Game is basically the exact same as it was a year ago.
Between all the notorious scams from Eromancer, Impure, etc, I'm going to add this one to the list of many for the time being. Maybe in the future if the dev starts showing actual progress and commitment I'll consider repledging but for now I'm going to stick with devs I can trust.
