Hey everyone

It's been a while!
Well, I've been busy af lately. My schedule will get better and better from now on (I mentioned I have some things going on in my private life that need a lot of attention a few posts back).

And of course I'm working on the new scenes for DoDE, as you can see from the little previews in the post.

I was like - I'm going to make some short but sweet scenes... Well, as usual, I ended up with things like the dinner scene, which is 66 renders long and has 18 animations, with a variety of fetishes and action for everyone.
So from now on I'll try to make it brief and not create giant scenes because I know you're all waiting for DoDE and for me to return to MP as soon as possible.

From this point forward in the post there will be some spoilers about Dreams of Desire's story, so if you haven't finished the game yet, proceed at your own risk.

In these previews you see the scenes that come after the endings. If you get Tracy's ending, you'll be able to spend some quality time with her in a romantic setting, but I don't want to spoil the whole thing. You'll have plenty of options with her.
Right now the most difficult character to deal with is Alice. She's affected by the reworked 'endgame' scenes, because I felt the revelation was weak compared to the rest of the game. Looks like I'll completely scrap the last warehouse scenes too and make something else - or reword that scene completely. I feel like that was rushed and clunky, so hopefully the new version will be a better experience.

In the poll where I asked you guys if you want more ending content or more in the middle of the game type of content, it was in favor of both. Well, I should have expected that
So there are some short scenes that can be added into the middle of the game and they won't disturb the story.
Oh and by the way, I really liked your comments on the last post about the type of content you'd like to see. I can't promise all of them in DoDE, but if it doesn't make it in that, it might make it into Midnight Paradise.
That's all for now and I'll try to be less silent and more active with posts.

And as always, thank you for your great support!
-Dr Sin

Well well...

Here he goes from promising DEV to some milking machine kinda DEV.

Why most of you devs got inspired from ICSTOR instead of from amazing Devs like NLT, BORING GAMES,Dr.pinkcake etc..
JUST WHY???

No, this image must be from Dreams of Desire: Definitive Edition, the game who dev is working right now

thought so, looks familiar (haven't played dod yet).

money w/o doing much/anything.

sorry guys I have a question, but is this Dream of Desire a "remaster" from start to finish (the same game with better renders and animations), or is it a continuum?


(Sorry for my bad english)

No, it is the same game but with additional content and improved animations, that is why he said that it would take little time with this.

And to add to what was said above, with new endings. At least that's what he said

 

[lipe2410]

I was hoping he would say that he had finished remastering DOD and that the game's release was near. Now I fear that MP will only have 2, or even worse, only 1 update this year. Well, that's life

 

[Xumeey]

Another game falls into the limbo blackhole.

 

[PePeTheCoCk]

those look like the average gobbo currently. what gobbos are you looking at?
the age of just putting out terribly rendered trash because they have shit computers is over.

in fact those don't look as good as the top tier gobbos and like i said pretty average.

 

[legolasbaler]

Predicted this already.

It is noticeable that old established h devs have undergone a scammy transformation which works by this recipe:
Gain trust by working on a game, make weekly reports, update your product monthly, finish one game at least , even if the game doesn't feel complete (like icstors projects).
Congratulations now you have built the foundation for passive income.

After you established yourself the following steps are ridiculously simple...
Get understanding from your counterpart for all the delays in the future, how ?
You can always use the bag of tricks with these keywords: disease, accident, environmental disasters, mental problems or whatever the main thing is that your supporters feel pity for you.
You should still have something to show, your supporters are already blind, but unfortunately they are still a bit questioning that's why you should give them a update 1 or 2 times a year.

When you have conditioned your supporters in this way, absolute submission follows.
From here all doors are open, the most popular is the one from Icstor still works to this day and is also the most relaxing of all, to prevent the abandoned tag and to replace the few jumped supporters just post some nonsense, for example your dog shit on your pc.


Additional bonus manual for scammy h devs:
Use the zeitgeist, the so-called field power bonus!
For example we are in a pandemic, claim you have been affected by it.
Also we have a semiconductor shortage say your computing power is no longer sufficient because you want to add even more frames to the animations thereby achieve more lively experience for the renderings that's why you need new hardware which is impossible for you to obtain because the scalpers have almost emptied the stock which has skyrocketed prices.
(nonetheless we all know that you're swimming in money, you turned your patreons into zombies so who cares your excuses don't even have to make sense anymore)

In order to consolidate your lies, create a few fake profiles on some platforms of relevance that advertises your games and make sure that someone here and there protects you from legitimate criticism with ridiculous statements like:
"You can only complain about something if you pay for it".
or
"It took Rockstar 8 years to develop RDR2, so this too can take a decade"
you know the drill.

Disclaimer:
Just fun, but as we all know, there is truth in every fun, sometimes more, sometimes less

Rightly pointed out, Kind Man.

What mindset a person needs to have for not finishing the current content, and try to remaster an old, but very nicely made game to begin with supposedly better visual, you barely have enough content with the current game to begin with, come back to reality, PLEASE.

I call it "Icstor Vision".

 

[RandomGuy99]

waste energy. he wont change a thing until ppl stop supporting. whcih they should.

 

[Forsaken08]

game is abandoned?

 

[Katgza]

game is abandoned?

The developer is finishing polishing his previous game, so Midnight Paradise is on hold/pause for the time being.

developer is milking his patrons. nothing more, nothing less.

 

[HAZARD1515]

Damn what a shame. Was a top tier game for me...I dont know why but i smell Icstors ass somewhere near.

Whats the point of supporting then anyway??? Good game is rolling monthly -------> People start supporting -------> The more support and money,somehow game takes longer to update(some excuses roles in) -------> Bye bye and fuck you,no more updates .

Edit: Why even update the game if you can spit a dumbest excuse and people still support you and pay you monthly. Basically just relax,buy some champagne,go on a holiday,think of good excuse and chill for month.

 

[Pablim1]

I have to say a didn't see that coming (didn't support the dev though)
it's very sad when ppl take a steady income, and transform it and some kind of scam, just because. hope the dev(s) come to its senses

 

[HorttoKaalo]

Funny that it's always the devs who make these simple VN's aka basically comics with some simple animations that always turn out to be scammers and liars full of shit. Then you have devs like for example Faerin, who does actual proper games and has still been able to put great sex content out with them. Like for example "Man of the House", Faerin completed it in 2 years cycle, and is already rolling on a good pace with his second similar game. Meanwhile we have Lewdlabs Blueballs Paradise VN here that has been going on for 2.5 years now, and the main character hasn't yet even found a way to insert his penis into the main girls. This reminds me of another blueball simulator "A Wife and Mother". It's a fucking porn VN, not some fucking George Orwell book you're creating.

I don't know, it's been 1.5 years since faerin started working on his new game and there isn't any action with the "main cast", beside a dream sequence and maybe a nip slip. So there isn't much of a difference there in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, we're on the same side here but i wouldn't bring him into this discussion.

I think the problem is when we start treating patreon developers (glorified artists working on a comission) as a full time game developers.
Assuming that Midnight Paradise ever gets finished, i have no doubt in my mind that the whole trouble with pacing we're experiencing at the moment will be resolved. Even George Orwell's books would've sucked if we were only to receive 15 pages every 6 months and judge them before seeing the whole product, know what i mean?

Seems like you've skipped the latest updates of MM then And it's true, it is somewhat unreasonable to compare Faerin's games to this VN, since this VN is pretty much just linear slideshow without any actual game created around it, unlike MotH or MM.

And that exactly is the reason why everybody are so pissed off to VN devs like ICSTOR and Lewdlab who are just slacking and collecting the paychecks. It's a damn Ren'Py VN, it ain't rocket science to create it. Yet still this guy goes to rub his old VN instead of completing the one has been working on for two years. Midnight Paradise had some heat on it, but all that heat is just wasted now that he can't get the job done for one reason or another. To me, Midnight Paradise is a lost mess at the moment. There is too much story to be covered, and remembering Lewdlabs history with Dreams of Desire, I won't be surprised if he just takes similar shortcuts and rushes this one also to the end when he finally gets to that point in next 2.5 years. Then he can start his next game, work on it for 2 years and go polish up this one again cause "he is not happy with it".

Nah dude, Faerin delivered, and he did it in ordered fashion (to be honest, I'm actually not sure if it was too fast narrative wise).

He didn't have his characters rubbing dicks against assholes and pussies left and right, with every permutation of sex 'job' in between, before, and after and before again, without getting to sex. Instead when things reached a stage where sexual interaction was available between two consenting parties, he gave you sex.

None of this unending foreplay business that lewdlab has going on.
