Those images do look quite good. I'm interested in seeing what they look like in motion.

It does baffle me that updates like the one posted by RM (thank you for that) are locked behind their Patreon pay wall. Even if they want to keep the "spicy" stuff for their patrons, they could just pull those out and show those in patron-only updates. The rest of the update is mostly technical stuff, and actually telling of how much work they are putting into the game. Making those public would surely make for much better publicity than the bashing on them we have now.

They don't plan on sharing anything tell they have a demo or release .6 that's why they are not sharing anything. They want to re reveal the game to the public with new graphics and a new battle system and a game that is much more polished. Everyone is talking about conspiracy theories but their marketing plan is to finish the next update asap then reveal the game.

This is *exactly* what we tried to tell Eromancer in the ulmf thread. His "hide all information behind paywall" policy is baffling. Like I said in the ulmf thread, just a quick condensed version of all that would show that they are doing something. It would take all of 5 minutes to make a quick summary for the general public (saving some info/pics for patrons). It would get them more patronage, which you'd think he would want after complaining about how he was spending his own money on the project.

Going from RM's post though, I can see why they may have taken so long to transfer everything, they have the "polish/rework it endlessly till it's right" mentality. If they would simply have finished this and then moved on to something more ambitious for their next game there wouldn't be so much distrust going around.

They don't plan on sharing anything tell they have a demo or release .6 that's why they are not sharing anything. They want to re reveal the game to the public with new graphics and a new battle system and a game that is much more polished.

See above. They could easily alleviate most of the bashing and conspiracy theories without harming their business model, they just choose not to.

Also, his "marketing plan" and his behavior are the problem for me, not whether they are actually working on the game. I think he said once that he worked for a large company. Given his mentality about marketing and how to treat customers, I can believe it.

You might want to look through that ulmf thread if you haven't, here's a good place to start, it's his most recent posts in that thread before he got it locked:

I remember that Eromancer said the game will be released in the beginning of 2018. As for now I expect it in early 2022. :):):)

well there is a new battle test! They surely are working right now. I wonder if someone can post that update here so we can have a look at it!

If i'm remember someone told that that Battle test is already a battle scene to test, beside eromancer demand patreoner to not share the battle test because they will release v0.6 to public. But yeah i really want to taste the Battle Test, i'm waiting for too long now.

So they went from a demo release in january to a battle test and a demo later, and from that to 3 battle tests with a demo nowhere in the horizon. At least the pics look nice, even tho you dont take 2 years to do that, but still nice.

I remember following this game closely and throwing in quite a bit in the early days, even have many of the builds saved into my porn library. I daresay I am glad I pulled out when I did last year, things sure have gotten....spicy.

On a different note, I saw someone above has a very nice Noxian Nights fan poster. True story here, I'm responsible for the minotaur ending. I approached Sierra Lee in PM's about the idea and asked how much it'd be for just a sort of "Minotaur GB bad ending" because I liked that part where she walks into the room full of them and quickly retreats. He/she told me a price point of $800 USD. I happily paid right away. Then they stunned me. I thought it would just be sort of a bad ending like the tentacle wall ending, but they built a whoooole, complicated ending game around the idea. It was awesome. Best $800 I've ever spent. (~.~):b Not looking for any recognition, just thought I'd share that tidbit about that particular ending since it's...well...interesting, I think.

Back to MatM, I've got one of their early posters framed and hanging on my wall. It's a small one, but was one of the rewards for the $40 or $50, forget which. Still hoping this game finally gets released, but after the switch to the monthly payments...things suuuuure did slow down eh?

Well, thank you for that. It was one of the best endings.

Any word on the battletest?
A third version of the battletest was promised for the start of March for inner circle members, but has been delayed to the end of the month. And still no lust levels/armour breakage implemented, let alone h-content. Next funding cycle I think I'll drop M&M again, progress has just been such a letdown since I resubbed. Maybe I'll throw another 5 dollars their way in 6 months to see if anything has actually happened.

Wait, they are going to release ANOTHER delayed battle test? Really?
Its becoming clearer by the day that they aint finishing this.
Also what are the battle tests anyways? Just the combat with the models there looking pretty?

Yup, just the new cop enemies hitting the new models with batons. No nudity, no lust effects, no hentai.

I honestly think Eromancer just has a complete lack of self-awareness when he writes these updates about the amazing progress he's made with this or that lighting effect or reflective surface or "optimized workflow" and such whilst the net result for backers, month after month, is basically nada.

U may tell the truth, but people are already losing almost all of their trust so without any evidence, I'm sorry to say this, words mean nothing.

I'm not a jerk, but no matter how many words flow out, it can't gain the trust of people those who waiting and waiting for a very long time, waiting for the promise to be fullfilled. Something is needed to gain back the trust

It was a joke, I have no idea what are they doing in regards to the game, probably nothing.

Trusts long gone on my part. It was one of the few of these games I would have boguht if it released at an appropiate time. That appropiate time has long past.
