I tried Pure Onyx are it's really just fighting with (very good quality) animations. It bored me quite quickly tho. On the other hand, Malise has such a potential...


I actually wanted to message Eromancer (the creators), whether they will be willing to give the project to me, but i don't know how to contact them.
Why not try to message their twitter?


or join their subscribestar (there is a free tier) and hit them up in Discord


Good luck

Having the same issue...
Too bad, I come back to this game once every little while, but it seems like something broke with it recently and now I can't even get into the game itself. Crashes on the title screen.



EDIT: 15 minutes later and I've solved my own issue. This error, and two other errors ("Unable to find VL Gothic font" and "Invalid file or filename: Audio/SE/Audio_Mix") are all caused by moving your RPGMaker VX Ace folder after installation. For some reason, I thought the installation would be portable, but that is not the case. To fix, just reinstall the RTP and DO NOT MOVE IT.

Why not make yours from scratch and new story.

I can give ideas, but it would be your project.

I fully expect whatever this turned into to never actually come out. Friend keeps showing me a bunch of w.i.ps of the beat em up game, but until it's staring me in the face as a 1.0 build I'm not buying it

I'm not the dev themselves but I can be at least 99% sure that their answers are a flat [No].

They never made any official statement that they will completely drop or discard the project, what best we can find is that they keep MATM on indefinite hiatus until they finish their "Quick" project first. Precisely because it still has the potential and people still want them, means it's still very much milkable when they actually finish PO decades after and come back to this.

The best I can suggest is that you should start a similar project of your own without meddling with theirs. They would consider it intellectual property and will lead you both into an agreement or partnership that will benefit them more than yours.

Their work is not that big and famous to the point that countless people are constantly in demand for them, it's just a wasted potential in the hand of incompetents. If you have the idea and the energy to create something, it's best to make it completely your own instead of taking it from their dew.

Eromancer got a headstart because they made an actual good quality product and look promising. You can see by his patronage still hold its weight from those refusing to give up their faith despite years of shitstorm transpired, and if you're confident you can do the same or even better than them, it really is the best to make things from your very hands.

You will keep getting support, so long as you keep your targeted audience contented, and many of us would begin observing you with great interested if you actually do start one.

If you do, I would also suggest that it's best to start small and compacted or medium size so that you have something to prove, not the overly ambitious like theirs and get nothing done in the end.

That's right, the whole point is that Eromancer and him similar novice people (what in ordinary games in porn / ero) are incompetent from the word in general.
It's as if an ordinary person who knows absolutely nothing about how games are made, immediately took up a project like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Fallout4.
P.S. - For example, for his same Pure Onyx, I have just a bunch of comments on mistakes and shortcomings for both the main character and opponents. He is unlikely to listen to my opinion, as well as many others.
I wonder how much he would have suffered with roller skates for Onyx, if there had been such a need to add them to the game? :KEK: :devilish:

Incompetent - maybe. As a novice dev myself - I understand that people are not too interested in playing trivial puzzle dress-up games, thou such games are easy to make. More than that - people are not interested in donating to such projects at all. As a novice developer I want my project to bring me enough income to make living and thrive from this income, making more games or better games or increase quality of what I'm doing.
Plus - one thing is to study game development/design/etc... the other thing - is to make games. Big companies has whole departments that research all kind of stuff, what people like, how they like it and etc... novice dev's - has no such luxury, so we make what are capable to make using resources and tools, that available for us.
Important! I'm not defending developer of MATM at all! From my point of view this team gained more resources in few month, than many developers won't make in a years, and even if whole team is lost(for example everyone say, that that had enough, and don't want to work with you anymore) - with this resources it's possible to replace all team, and continue to make project.

What I see in their activity now - they make game, that they are capable to do, and from what I see - they still receive impressive support, which means - they do good job, even if I may not like it.

That's the problem, they do a good job and their games both are high quality, the problem is they're doing the bare minimum to milk their supporters. That's what I find especially infuriating with them, they've shown they have what it takes to make one of the best H-game, and yet chose to do nothing.

The latest update of this game has no new CGs or battle fuck, only combat tests.
If you already played the alpha and beta ones, you have already seen them all.
