The last update was publish 9th november. So... more that three months will past for just few pictures and videos to be product. Hey guys, what do you think, this dev still doing good or we have another milking story here?
True, and also not worth $20.If this goes on I don't think he will be in the picture for long. Leaving the current circumstances behind he usually takes 2 months and delivers less content, in the earlier days it was 1 month but the same amount of content. That's why there is a gradual decrease in his patreons.

Yes I understand that the dev went from 1 month to 2 months because of the pregnancy because he had to produce the same content twice (which can be understandable because I really like pregnancy content.. too bad there weren't more quests and sex with it) but now, there more than 3 months without pregnancy since the last update that I found bad. I don't want to judge him because we all have a life with its problems (health, family. .) but 3 months is very long just for 10 min of play per update. I'm not complaining about him, it's just that I find the content more and more light with copy paste sex scenes. I could be wrong and I hope I'm wrong. I was a patreon 20 but I had to stop because of that. Don't get me wrong, manila is still a good game for me regardless, too bad the dev doesn't exploit it more. It's just my opinion and it only involves me.

Time is concerned here. There are other devs who deliver pregnancy content and more than 10 mins of gameplay. It is quite understandable that the dev is only one responsible to cover all the aspects of the game. Another concern is that the quality of content degrading with each update which in turn has a detrimental effect on the story line. I agree that manila has quite an alluring character. But the pressing issue is time and content. I also respect the devs efforts and consistency to keep us updated every week.

It's just my opinion as software developer, but replace model in render scene is not too big deal that serious slow down process. I don't know what hardware Abaddon have, but really:

1. Script some scenes with first main model;
2. Render it;
3. Replace model. Check any graphical bugs;
4. Render it;

Most hardest work here is scripting. Replace model is not worth to slow down process twice.

Anyway. For me current situation with Manila Shaw is too much and I glad looking people who share my point. Thanks, guys.

Yes we need more Devs like you who certainly know how the work is done in a short span of time and also more efficiently.

Can you give me a recommendation? I like the pregnancy content too!

My opinion, I agree with you that the updates take longer, but I don't think the game is going down in quality, I feel that the sex scenes and character design have even improved, if you compare the first scenes of sex from Manila Shan to the sex scenes and to the last ones you can see a change, even in Guellar's sex scenes they have seemed very good to me there had never been a Manila event in the entire game that had more than 2 or 3 animations , and Guellar's scenes are 4 or 5 in some cases, I feel that the game is improving and going well.
The latest update but I liked it so much that if I agree it was not so good, even I already had my doubts with 0.30 because I had released it very quickly, it had not taken long, the truth is that I do not like them so much Manila scenes with her boyfriends, I don't know if I'll be the only one but I like it better when they blackmail her or lose against someone.
Perhaps what Abbadon could do is hire staff to help him with the programming part of the game and the commands, and for him to be in charge of creating the designs and dialogues of the characters, I feel that he would advance faster than I did it alone, this is just my opinion and I also respect yours.

I think most of the times devs lose their interest.

$1 Patrons (they will play this update, but...)
From the next update (0.32), there will be some changes for the $1 Patrons. The $1 Patrons will only receive the latest update of the year (for example: November or December), once a year. The "Kami edition" (the final version of the game that will be released after the last update of the first part) will be released only for the $20, $10, $5 Patrons. After I start Part 2, Manila Shaw Part 1 will only be playable by the $10 and $20 Patrons.

Hey, guys :)
I've completed Manila Shaw: Blackmail's Obsession v0.31.
You are about to play "Monday".
Warning:
- Keep your old saves.
- "Guard" (skill) is very important. It reduces damage during the round and gives +10 MP and +10 TP.
- Remember to equip Manila. Check her equipment (Equip).
- Remember that the inventory is shared with all outfits. If you want to transfer equipment from one Manila to another, you have to put it in the inventory and then equip it ("Optimize" and "Clear" can be useful).
- You can show / hide the Arrows Map (indicators to change map).
Press on the keyboard:
(PageUP = Show Arrows Map; PageDOWN = Hide Arrows Map)
- You can hide the dialogs if you press CTRL (ON / OFF).
- Press "Space" = the car and the movement of the NPCs becomes faster.
- Press "W" = you can skip the dialogues.
You can change the volume of the sounds in the options menu:
- BGS: sexual sounds
- BGM: music
- SE: single sounds
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Prison Cell (Daily Quest) > This quest is triggered if you have arrested Lucifer.

(Daily Quest) > This quest is triggered if the cell camera is turned on (there is a button to turn the cameras on / off near the cell entrance). You need to complete the Pen Drive quest in Storm's office (it automatically activates during the main quest if you have the pen drive in your inventory).
The sex scene of this quest is repeatable.
- The Champion (Daily Quest);
The reward for this quest has been changed (you will not see the quest updated, but you will still get the new reward).
- $25,000
- $1000-5000 every night (you will find a bag near Scars every night)
- New Skill: Kami Mode (Instant). This ability replaces the normal Kami Mode.
- Badge: "Queen of the Ring" (it's just a trophy)
- (+1 Level)
- You can fight Scars anytime you want (+ $3000, +300 EXP)
- Repeatable scenes of Mr. Forger, Mr. Ghellar, and Mason

- Some skill effects have been changed
- There will be a new type of skill, namely Instant Skill. Characters will be able to use Instant Skills before an attack or other action. They have a Cooldown (CD) and a lightning bolt icon.
- Enemies have an HP bar now (visible when hitting and selecting target)
- Changing the Armory Map: there is a prison in the Armory where you will find Lucifer (if you unlock the quest)

Why is the update only file larger than the whole game which is in the OP?
