Hello everyone, it has been some time. For the long standing participants in this thread, long time no see, I hope that you are well. As for myself, I've been better, but I am steadily recovering. For the newer members in this thread wondering who this individual issuing an odd greeting is, I used to deliver news about MGD's development, for both official and mod content, on a regular basis before a series of unfortunate events limited my time and then my ability to do so. I can't say for certain when I'll be able to return to a more regular schedule to deliver update news and information, but I do have news for the next update for those interested.
Now for the update news. The next update, v25.9, will be an update focused on one of the oldest pieces of content in the game. Nicci is having her content revised to bring it up to par with more recent content for MGD. This change was precipitated by Threshold asking Jiffic about making more expressions for Nicci. Nicci has some of the oldest art in the game as well as one of the first pieces made by Jiffic for MGD, their skills have improved since then and they also have a better idea of what type of game and setting MGD is compared to when they created Nicci's art. As such, Jiffic has made a revised version of Nicci's art that is quite spectacular as her alluring figure, the clouds of aphrodisiac pollen which are now their own visual effect, and an overall greater amount of detail which includes a leaf top that she can wear and remove makes for an overall titillating display that is a virtual feast for the eyes.
However, Nicci's art was not the only element that has been upgraded. The writing for her existing content has also been revised to fit with the modern standards for writing in MGD. Then there are the assorted other related elements such as creating a new main menu bubble to reflect her new art, updating all of the calls for her expressions to use the new expressions, implementing the new art and effects, tuning up her fight, and so on. So, if you're a fan of Nicci, this update will be quite focused on content that you may find pleasing. Of course, while Nicci was the primary focus of this update, there have been the usual inclusions of bug fixes, typo corrections, and editing for issues that were reported since the last update.
As for when this update should land, it should be ready for release soon. It was almost finished on January 15th with just a little left to finalize before testing to ensure that everything is working properly. As for what's next, update v26 will see the capital receive its next chunk of content. As for specifics on that update, I could not say at this point in time.
TL;DR - the next update, v25.9, is a Nicci focused update that features improved art and writing for the character. The update is nearly finished and will likely be released soon. The following update, v26, will be focused on the next batch of content for the capital.
I do hope that everyone interested in this update news, such as
ChiakiCh, find this at least a little useful.
This is a rather old save at this point in time, but I do have cheat start saves scattered throughout this thread that allow you to start the game with a high level, large number of unallocated attribute points, and a large amount of Eros (money) that could be found by searching the thread. One such save can be found attached to this
post. I do hope that you find this helpful if the save still works and you have not found another solution given the amount of time that has passed since you first asked this question.
