Hello again. While there isn't much to report regarding the game development, please know that we are busy doing internal testing of the new release. We have also done some new fixes and updates, one of which I can show:

The graphics for Belle, Felicia, and Miranda have been updated and are now much cuter.

Still no Gallery mode after sooooooo manyyyyyyyyy updates?

Hmmm ok i mean not that they putting even more scenes to grind them without the ability to rewatch them and macro-skipping all dialogue right?

First of all, the scenes in and of themselves can be appreciated without necessarily appreciating the path to get them. We're all different on that front, mood always impacts and everyone have different views on what is too long a road to get to the part they are after, whether that's leaning more in the direction of gameplay or more in the direction of porn. To each their own.

Second of all, even people who enjoy the gameplay and like grinding stuff up and whatnot, it's not always fun to do all of that work again to get the part they want. Sure you can save file right before the scene, but you know what's easier and more convenient than that? A gallery mode. Especially considering how spread out the actual graphical scenes of this game are (at least last I played, haven't kept up with updates I'll admit).

I donno about you, but I despise losing progress and redoing content I've already done. I'm interested in the game once, if it's exceptionally good maybe I can go twice; but rarely beyond that unless the game reliably plays out different enough each time or I have friends with me. That's my opinion, obviously, and we'll have to adjust to what the developers decide on that front; but I don't think the game would suffer if it catered to people like me by offering a convenient way to re-access the scenes we've already come across once.

And third of all, I don't think pornhub has a Magical Camp video out there showing off the lewd scenes that are in the game, and even if it did there are those who would rather control the tempo rather than backtrack the video constantly either because they wanna focus on a particular scene, because they are slow or fast readers or whatever the reason.

Is there a way of removing the names rania gives you? I messed up and deleted my save file before defeating her and now I'm stuck as sissyboy.

There is a way to delete the relevant file from your AppData folder, but this would require you to start a new game and then save immediately, because if you load an "infected" save state directly after deleting the AppData, it would put the curse right back in.

Open a folder, type %APPDATA% into the url bar, then navigate to RPG Maker->Magical Maid Minions and delete that folder.

Looks promising. The only thing I hope is save compatibility for upcoming release. Really tedious to play again from scratch :cry:

After this full release, there should hopefully be no more issues. But also consider this, there was only 1 full release before which required save breaking. We'll also provide a set of savestates with 0.5 so players can jump straight to the following points: right after Alaska, right after Earth, and right before fighting Eris and thus the confrontation with Yoshida.

Thanks, it worked!

Hypothetically speaking, how much work would it be (and how long would it take, in rough estimates) to port the game over to a new platform?

Game is officially on hold, my comrades.
Lifesigns are unstable, with different parts of the team wanting to port to Godot (hatred of RPGM is universal), some wanting a break, and some just wanting to do something else
What exactly would it look like in Godot?

porting games is essentially remaking the game from scratch but at least you might be able to bring the assets over
It's not quite that dire. A lot of the logic isn't the kind of code that relies on the specific language, IMO it's not gonna be hard to translate and just have it work.
Also you already have all of your dialogue.

Too bad that this game is on indefinite hiatus, and going by the tone of the patreon post, likely abandoned. I was looking forward to seeing the end of the plot line and the alternate routes for the other girls.

From what was posted last week here it looked like the development was going fine, but apparently it wasn't so. We will see how things go but I don't hold much hopes; especially since apparently the devs are even considering migrating the engine after years of development.

They def should port the game to mv/mz to give it modern features. It's pretty weird to cling onto VX Ace in 2023 for your eternity projects.

I still have some hope that development will be continued someday, but from my experience such "on holds" usually means "abandoned". It will be very sad to loose such gem in dev graveyard.
Can we at least have realise version of 0.5 before engine migration/other changes?

Modern RPGM may be an alternative solution, but ultimately, it's up to devs to use the most suitable tools for their project.
