Newcomers who have been frequenting this thread for the past few years posting memes about milking and scamming have no idea how innovative this product was when it first came out, my latest save files date back to January 2020. When Milfy City first came out it was the peak of erotic gaming, there was no competitor back then, surely enough the developement was halted for whatever reason, but that doesn't change the fact that this was the pillar of what we have today, being angry at the developer makes some people blind facepalming haters.
Did the dev Fk up? YES
Is this game one of the goats? ABSOLUTELY
Heck I'll take three similar games to this one over all the unfinished voyeur filled crap that gets released today
Absolutely.
For me too, Milfy City was the game that impressed me and showed me how good a visual novel can be.
It went something like this:
-was already a big fan of the adult comics, one of my favorite creators being Milftoon
-while searching for Milftoon on the web, I found one of their videos on PHub
-among the PHub suggestions was a game play video of "Summertime Saga"
-I watched several videos of "Summertime Saga" and liked it
-among the PHub suggestions for one of those video was a video of "Milfy City"
-once I watched several videos of Milfy City I was a big fan of it and also had a big crush on Linda (and a bit less on Caroline)
I couldn't stop watching the Milfy City videos.
Then I watched videos from other games and also played my first game ("Motherless") on PGamesHub at first.
Since it had problems running reliably in a browser, I downloaded it and played in on my computer.
From there on, I was hooked, and played many other games (and also watched them on PHub, XVids, etc.).
Maybe in the future, the historians researching visual novels will mark the arrival of "Milfy City" as one of the big factors which contributed to the rapid expansion of visual novels among the public.
Also, I'm guessing that the financial success of "Milfy City" (afaik, the creator was making 60-70k/month on Patreon at one time) showed that there is serious money to be made creating visual novels, which led to many creators starting new games.
All in all, I think "Milfy City" is one of the factors which made that today we have a vast number of visual novels to enjoy.
Am I overestimating the impact of "Milfy City" ?
Happy to hear your thoughts.
