What is their next project going to be?
Neon Touch, a cyberpunk-themed game.
Not sure if it's gonna be a VN like Milky Touch. There are rumors in the Discord's air that it might be a more of an open-world type of deal, with a city's map, missions etc. But so far these are only rumors.
Also correct me if I'm wrong but if as a lot of people are pointing out in latest comments, how would rushing the ending to their near finished game and working on something newer help? Wouldn't they spend even more money on artist(s) and voice actors? Or is the next game going to be something low budget?
As far as I understand MT's development was just too costly to continue. Team's monthly revenue was 3500$ at best times, while the monthly expenses were 4500$ - that's a difference of 1000$ that Messieurs had to pay out of his pocket - every month. So if the next game would be - well let's say, more
focused, it would indeed help to get even financially. Voice acting can be ditched, while a smaller pool of love interests would mean less work for the artist (theoretically). The big difference confirmed by the lead dev is that NT is going to be updated monthly, and that should help with retaining patrons.
