Yes, but we were supposed to be receiving the update for free in May. We didn't. Instead, he charged us for June and all he's going to give us is the renpy conversion from may, and nothing new in June.
We receive all updates for free here. If you are a Patron of his then you better complain on his Patroen page or his exclusive for patrons only discord server.

If you are not a patron then there is nothing to complain about.. just saying!

Yeah, the same generic response that fanboys give every time. Paying or not paying doesn't hide the fact that the dev is shit and having 2200+ patrons and don't delivering anything worthwhile in over a year is an insult to all the small creators who deliver updates on time and don't get rewarded for their time... just saying!

I get it. Good advice can come in rugged books and not being a patreon does not automatically invalidate justified constructive criticism.

But on the other hand,
[...] the dev is shit and having 2200+ patrons and don't delivering anything worthwhile in over a year [...]
is pretty far from constructive in my book. I'd say that's just like, your opinion, man. ;)

I'm not a fanboy of his.. simply because he isn't reliable. As said here

But he surely charge for december and january and we don't get the game either month.
And november and october btw.
.. he made big promises in the past and always came up with some "excuses". And as I pointed out in my previous post (somewhere in this thread) he never hired a team to help him or payed coders for his Unity version.

However, I'm not a patron of his and do not care about this game anymore as before!
And as you point out in your post I absolutely agree with you!

Well, on the other hand I have to admit that his renders are fucking amazing and that I damn like the "landlady" in the game and wish to see more of her! :LOL:

But if he continue like that, or is depression take over again, he sooner or later will abandon Midnight Paradise!

The truth it that people vote with their wallet. As long as any dev is being paid there is no need to change his or her ways of dealing with them and delivering content. Some abuse this some don't. I still have high hopes for his product and will be here waiting for updates.

Is the Dev trustworthy? I consider this very issue a cute but childish approach. Ranting about him being dishonest proves only one thing. There are naive idealists out there. Which is kinda cute but like i said, childish. This business model is built on trust, sure. Unfortunately i might add. But the same time trusting anyone's word and pay money for it is silly. I trust released content. I trust someone who explained that had issues which translates into a reasonable setback, for a while. Do i believe all this hospitalization, technical issues that some devs keep bringing up? Of course not.

Yet i don't bash them easily, i encourage them to keep going on. To improve. To live up to their words. To invest into their own projects. You know why? Because my best interest is: To get a fapworthy product. A quitting dev is a loss. A lost chance of a possibly fapworthy product. Do i pledge them the meantime? No.

Others might deserve more pledge. Everyone agrees with this, its just common sense. But certain people want THIS vn to continue. I personally don't want the market to narrow and center around a handful of hardworking devs. They'd turn into greedy lazy bastards in no time. Besides. Noone is forced to pledge. The truths is: Its not the dev who insults other devs by earning more. Its the pledgers who keep pledging to unworthy causes instead of worthy ones. That came off pretty romantic i think :sneaky:

I adore the visuals in this one, l liked DoD. I'm looking forward to see this continue. I don't want this to be dumped and if it would get dumped because angry rants i'd blame the ranters. If Dev quits because dropping of support which in turn happens because his unreliablity? I'd blame him. Do i pledge to him? No. He made a promise in the past. He violated it. I'm not angry with him and i do love MP, i couldn't care less about technical issues as those can be fixed, wanna see it come to fruition but do i pledge? No.

It's even worse. He had coders (plural) but they were shit and didn't deliver.
Was it bad luck or was it foreseeable because he didn't hire competent ones out of greed? We'll never know.

Well, I'm hoping the same but even assuming good intentions (some might disagree there) there's a reason for the new delay that has to do with the coding portion. It might just have to do with really polishing things up to a sheen following the pretty disastrous 0.2 release.

Or - and that's what I'm kinda fearful off, that he might again have overextended himself on some of the new features he wanted to have in the code base to build upon (his latest Patreon Update mentioned finishing foundational stuff to build upon in future releases). Let's keep our fingers crossed I'm wrong on that one.

I just want new update with more momy damnit!

Midnight Paradise and Milfy City being in this kind of limbo at the same time... hard times for us landlady lovers out there.

I have to admit I'm kind of sad that he ports back to Ren'Py. Even the fact that Unity isn't very Linux friendly.. I kinda liked all the technical investigation and coming up with workarounds etc.. However, Ren'Py will be better for all players on all platforms.

He said that he has two coders, but I never believed him. Either those coders were very bad or lewdlab was to cheap to pay for better ones!

Yeah.. he should add a second, third and more "landladies" to the game! :LOL:

He said "Expect the 0.3 release in a few days". Not sure how many days counts for "few days". Lewdlab have never and will never give you realistic dates either way. Since he refuses to add 2+weeks on his promises we have to do that ourselfs. So if he says tomorrow it really means "in 2 weeks at earliest". That way we can free ourselfs from any expectations while Lewdlab can write his next apology and excuse for why it took longer.

It's cool to be late i suppose.

I was talking about this update review that he posted on the 24th of May, but I didn't realize that it has been 2 weeks already and that he missed the release date again... Oh well, you make perfect sense. Too bad I couldn't even enjoy playing this version because of the mouse cursor problem.



MP Development Update #9

Hey everyone!



Just a quick update this time. I was ‘silent’ for this week so far, I’ve been a bit busy lately.

Actually this week is for writing, coding and putting the renpy version together, as I said last week, however I spent a considerable amount of time editing vaginas. A couple of years ago I wouldn’t even think time will come when I’ll be writing this sentence down and thousands of people will read it. Editing vaginas...

I think I managed to make a tasteful little preview of that, I’ll post that tomorrow:)

Other than that, things are progressing smoothly. Release is next week, most likely Friday.

This was a rather slow but steady progress. I’ve been trying a new work method for the past couple of weeks, and I think I finally found a way to strike the perfect balance between making good progress and staying sane. With a bit of fine tuning I can be more productive and take care of my mental and physical health much better. I’m already looking forward to the 0.4 release on the new-old engine.

Thank you for staying with me through tough times and all the positivity and encouragement. I’ll be sure to repay your kindness with the best lewd games I can make!



And as always, thank you for the huge support!

-Dr Sin

You're exaggerating. You're still eagerly anticipating the new update and will be one of the first to press the download link. You're not fooling anyone
