Guys, I have good and bad news.
The good news is that I’ve sent the 0.4 update’s text for translation. I still hope to release the update in January but I hope you won’t feel too bad about me releasing it a bit later.
Now to bad news:
If miracle doesn’t happen after the release of 0.4 and the game doesn’t become at least somewhat needed by players, I’ll have to put «Maleficent» on hold. Don’t get me wrong, I really do want to start working on the 0.5 update – I have a big orgy and many funny situations in plans for that update and the image of Jolie’s always been in my heart ever since I was a teenager… but I’m tired of making a game almost no one’s interested in.
There’s dozens, if not hundreds of games that came out after «Maleficent» and 90% of them are WAY MORE successful. I’m trying to keep my chin up and believe that the success is still possible but raw numbers say otherwise – the revenue and a number of people coming to my Patreon, the number of positive reviews as well as the number of views at different relevant web-sites and so on.
That’s why the release of 0.4 will become something like a last chance for «Maleficent». Then I’ll try launching the game about Hermione. Should Hermione be more lucky, she’ll become the main project; I’ll still be able to finish Maleficent in that case just as I planned, the only downside is that will take a bit more time.
