Ren'Py Completed Midnight Paradise [v1.0f Extra] [Lewdlab]

[CaballeroOne]

Might be braindead but how do you get the Isabel lust route?

Try playing with the Walkthrough mod (the "Lain's mod", I mean) and be patient, the different routes for each of the girls are there: love or lust.

Man I hate Sins pledgers, they don't ask what's going on at all. Said he'd post about progress days ago and still hasn't

That's most likely because asking doesn't do anything at all. He won't answer to anyone who asks, or then the answer is some sarcastic one either from himself or his mods. That's Dr. Sin, what can man really do about it other than just wait until he decides to put up some kind of excuse post once again.

Hey everyone



As you may have already heard on discord, I had to troubleshoot my PC quite a bit recently. It was overheating, because it was still on air cooling - at least the GPUs. One of them kept crashing the whole system because it reached dangerous temps. So I did what I postponed for a long time, built my first custom liquid cooling loop. Well, it wasn't easy, but it worked out in the end. Now both 3090s and the CPU is on water. It actually came with a nice performance increase because there is no thermal throttling at all now. This post would have come a week sooner, but the computer was still in pieces that time. Once I get the D-RGB situation in the case sorted (waiting for a splitter/controller to arrive) I'll post some pictures of the rig on discord.

Now onto the development news.
What I've been doing recently: Adopted a proper project management tool that will make the team's work more streamlined, will make communication easier and will result in overall faster completion time for work. With this I might be able to provide some status reports later in the forms of tasks remaining until release. We'll experiment and see how that goes.

I organized all the character files to speed up my workflow - this will save a lot of time in the future. It was getting chaotic and now everything is streamlined.
While I was at it I added new outfits for the ladies. Almost everyone is getting some new regular clothes, lingerie, bikini and some special stuff too. This is probably the most requested thing - to have more outfits in the game. You can see some of these in the preview images above, and there are a lot more.

I continued the work on backgrounds. I added variations to them where I could to make the game feel a bit more dynamic.
Example: Ruby will be doing various tasks in the office. When she's in her bedroom, sleeping in the morning she will be under the cover as she is now. On Saturdays however, she will be all naked without the covers after a night out partying.
Once you get close enough to her, you can convince her to always sleep nude like that. That will open up different options with her in the mornings when she's sleeping in.|
Again, with Joyce, once you're close enough with her, you can convince her that sunbathing topless is a much better idea than in full bikini. Once you have that unlocked, you will be able to toggle it in the game.
(These are illustrated above in the images section.)

And that takes me to the system that will control all this. I mentioned in my previous post that I'm going to share more information about how the new Sandbox Scenes will work.

There are already some points you can accumulate in the game, either for Connor or for the girls. Mainly, Connor's morality stat changes based on your decisions. Isabel has a lust stat, which determines which route you take with her (romantic or lustful) or Ruby's influence stat, which will affect how much you can influence her to become less of a brat and more obedient.

With the 0.17 update we will be introducing the Affection Points system - AP for short. Affection Points will serve the purpose of determining how close you are to a certain character and in turn what options you have in the sandbox.

You will gain affection points by interacting with the characters in the sandbox, on your phone and even in some story scenes. Once you get enough points, new options unlock for you in the sandbox. But once you hit a cap on the APs you can acquire, you have to complete more story scenes with the character. Reaching milestones in the story scenes will raise the AP cap for that character. That means you can start gaining more APs with them and you will unlock more scenes in the sandbox. This is in place so you cannot get to the sex scenes in sandbox mode while you are only at the beginning of the character's story scenes.

This will provide a balanced experience of the straightforward story scenes with some exploration in sandbox.

The post is getting lengthy again so this will be it for now.
I know this is a long wait. But this is the largest and most complex update for Midnight Paradise to date. In my opinion, this will make it into a much, much better game overall when it comes to the final product and it is important to do this right.

Next, I will be talking about the dialogue and phone system expansions. Until then, take care guys!



And as always, thank you for your great support!

Could you please also share the previews?

 

[MrBaddieBear]

So much text yet he actually didn't say anything at all. New post was supposed to be up week ago? No brother, already two weeks ago. So, next version is about some random sandbox elements, useless points systems that absolutely everyone hates, expanded dialogue and expanded phone system. Jesus, this game will be in development still in 2030 with this speed.

 

[Kondorito]

Don't hate me, but I like sandbox games.

I'm interested to see how the APs will work, and if done correctly, you might even be able to finish the game without developing a relationship at all with a character you are not interested in.

" But this is the largest and most complex update for Midnight Paradise to date. "

How many times have they said this.

 

[Meridian]

Affection Points aka your usual sandbox grind. This game is more than 3 years old and now he thinks its a good time to introduce grind mechanic? I pity the people who will play this game for the first time after 0.17 is out. First few hours of gameplay are probably gonna be like: Flirt with Isa 15 times to be able to rub her knee. Compliment mom 10 times to grope her butt. Balanced experience lol.

 

[Nikeee]

So the game went from being released in a few hours to no ETA ?

 

[MyFirstPornAcc]

The game went from "uploading update" to actually here is some irrelevant shit I was doing with my PC and time managment. I lost all hope for this game to be finished.

Well to be fair, he never said that he was going to release actual update anytime soon, he always just meant posting the "development update", which he now finally did.

Check few posts back someone dropped screen from discord where he says something along the line if all goes well update will be uploaded today. That was over week ago. It's the same case like with Reincarnotica, Measuring My Cum, Back to the Cabin not to mention Milfy City

Yeah, I know. He was talking about posting "development update" all the time, not about releasing a new version of the game. It's a little bit confusing when he uses just the word "update" instead of "devlog", "development update" or "update report" when he means development update, but communicating isn't his strength so can't expect too much from him.

Try playing with the Walkthrough mod (the "Lain's mod", I mean) and be patient, the different routes for each of the girls are there: love or lust.

I'm already using it. At Step 20 it says "If Isabel's lust is > 5, then you will be on her Lust Route." But even after step 20 im only at 4 points?

Lol, can't wait for the water cooling system to miraculously break in the near future so he have to postpone the update again.
