has been added to the guide, her mod just came out and it's absolutely amazing. If you're a foot lover then she'll quickly become your favourite. The mod is extremely high quality, and its art was made by ADOPOLICH (the same artist who did Kotone's superb steppy CGs). Congratulations and a big thank you to epickark for creating such a great mod, and to Valentin Cognito (Gren's mod author) for having helped him.
Here's hoping for more Mari content in the future, but most importantly, that we'll get more mods with foot content, even if they aren't as high quality as this one!

This mod is incredible. Like Gren, it deserves to be in the base game. Thanks for telling us about this!

Thanks so much for the info! I don't mind waiting. Just happy to hear there is more planned for her, even if it's far down the line!

Really loved this game back when I played it, but I haven't touched the game since v21.1.

This title has received regular updates every month since Threshold has been able to work full-time on MGD. The Caverns is the last story location and has been released nearly a year ago in v21, but development efforts since then have been focused on existing content before advancing the story, including notable changes to the underlying systems such as the NPC system revisions, the introduction of the Day/Night system, and other changes to the Town area such as the introduction of the new Blessing system at the Church that was divided between v21.5 and v22, although there were other mini-builds between v21 and v21.5 as well as between v21.5 and v22. Then major build v23 was the balance update that introduced significant changes to the combat system and overall system balance including changes to the economy, of course mini-updates leading up to v23 contained some balance work and introduced new characters or further fleshed out existing characters such as v22.2 adding Beris while v21.1 added Minoni's art and conversations to Elena.

New builds are either major full number builds such as v21, v22, and so on that either introduce new locations or otherwise include major changes, "minor" builds which usually either introduce or expand on an existing character whether this means adding their art, new content, or both such as v23.1 that added Kotone's art as well as a small amount of new content to the Kitsune as well as art for the Caverns and the Lumiren (these minor builds can involve quite a large amount of work and be equal to a major build in terms of effort and time invested just that the overall changes and additions do not warrant a full number build for one reason or another), and the final type of new build is the lettered builds such as the current v23.3b which are typically dedicated to fixing bugs and typos but have featured new art on occasion when it could easily be slipped in. Every month has seen a new major or minor build at the very least as well as however many lettered builds it takes to address the notable issues and typos.

Advancing the plot has momentarily taken a backseat to correcting game balance and other issues as well as fleshing out existing content given that the Labyrinth is the final dungeon before the story moves on to the Capital, which will be a major undertaking, so these issues needed to be addressed and sooner rather than later considering putting off system changes would just mean that much more work in the future as the title grows. There is one more planned mini-update in the form of v23.4 that fill see Elly's quest for Venefica turned in and also included plans for some level of romantic content with Venefica, assuming plans have not been forced to change. After v23.4 and whatever number of bug fix builds are necessary, work will likely begin on v24 which is very likely going to be the Labyrinth given that Threshold has talked about moving things forward.

That said, the OP does note that the thread was last updated on 2020-09-07, and Threshold, the developer, has a post on this very same page discussing the release of v23.3b for bug fixing and such. Both show that this title is still under development and provide very definitive answers to this question.

I do hope that you find this enlightening, PhoenixGorthalon.



No real clue on how the Labyrinth will be in terms of the story exploration beyond having Beris and her sisters as the Guardians who we'll be up against. Although Threshold has stated that there will be no Minotaurs in the Labyrinth, and unless this was deception on their part, does make it seem like the Guardian siblings will be the only foes we'll face during the story run.

Elf Village is certainly something to look forward to as is the Harpy Village, but no telling when those side quest locations will arrive, whether either one will happen between the Labyrinth and parts of the Capital being released, between releases of Capital content, or perhaps even after the Capital but before the Casino's Dungeon or after the Casino. Similarly with true Harem elements, that will likely be reserved for the Housing system once the player has their own place and can start inviting the MGs to live with them, but no telling when that will arrive later. There could be some interactions beforehand for certain intricately linked characters such as Kotone and Feng as we help them work through their issues, but those are not really the norm considering how scattered most of the love interests are. We know general content plans but do not really have anything like a firm roadmap outlining when a particular facet will arrive beyond what Threshold teases and the order of the main story locations like the Desert and then the Pyramid dungeon will follow the Casino and then finally the Demon Queen's Castle, after possibly traversing the Wasteland around said castle.

More romance content is another delightful element to look forward to, although that's also part of the vicious cycle of balancing the workload between working on existing content, advancing the story and introducing new places and people, and working on underlying game mechanics. At least we'll have plenty of content to enjoy for a fair amount of time to come.

While this is not much, I do hope that you find this informative, Psajchol.



Just a minor clarification, but there are three sisters acting as Guardians along with Beris. Sister #1 sounds more Amazonian, possibly a MILFy Amazon, and apparently acts the most like one would expect a stereotypical Hellhound to act and may also have SHRIFT vibes, Beris is sister #2 and the runt of the litter, Sister #3 was nebulous in concept but her being something of a mage type was discussed, and sister #4 is an enigma who intentionally had no information revealed other than she too may have elements reminiscent of SHRIFT. Given the way evolution works in MGD, all four siblings may or may not be Hellhounds. They're all probably canids, but depending on whether they were born as Hellhounds or born as some type of dog-girl and all went through different evolutions is unknown. There have been jokes about what if all four are secret subs, but this is unlikely to be true and Beris may very well be the only submissive in the group.

Just wanted to clear that up and I hope that you find this information useful, Konstantinus.



Next update is practically guaranteed to be Venefica content and Elly's side quest turn in based on what Threshold has stated about a week ago. The only question at this point really is whether or not it will be handled as a single update or split into multiple updates such as handling Elly's portions in one update and Venefica's content expansions in the next.

This is not much admittedly, but I do hope that you find it at least a little helpful, Volta.

Reading this saved me the trip to find out what's changed, but I have to ask -- about how many hours of content has been changed? With the change of existing systems, would you say it's worth to start a new save (never mind the fact that mine is both broken and outdated)? Has there been something fundamental that might be worth visiting? Combat-wise, has there been so many balance changes that it gives it a different feel? Most of the changes you noted seem to be more gameplay-related changes rather than additional content. iirc, there was a change to the introduction, which while interesting, sounded like it was a minor change to the overall story (a couple minutes read).

Love the game's content and concept. It does look like the mods would be worth downloading so, at the very least, I'll have that as something new. Glad it's still getting regular updates. Might go and become a supporter myself!

 

[Mobbob90]

If Venefica's content expands along with Elly's quest I wish I could restart it because I asked way too many questions already when I first met her yet I'm still willing to continue with my current progress. At this point I can't undo my decisions in the game unless I restart from the beginning.

Sorry to hear that mate.
Remember kiddos: if you can save scum, save scum.

On a serious note, always have a duplicate of your save file, updates can, very rarely, screw your save, not happened for a while but having a spare is good practise with this game IMO.

 

[olorex11]

Why the fuck did my past self didn't download this when GearlessJoe recommended it so many months ago in the ToT thread?
Dude, Mari is just amazing! I have lost so much time fighting an uphill battle in that thread, when there was a goldmine just around the corner.
Also MODS in plural. MODS. Need a Mari banner.

 

[Volta]

I had no idea we had so many ToT refugee's here, since i was never a fan of feet or trample in particular i skipped ToT even though the art seemed good and a lot of people liked it, fast forward to now and i'm glad you guys have a game to take up the slack. Honestly this game caters to lots of different fetishes and doesn't do any of them in a half assed way, the hypno/MC content is good, feet stuff if that is your thing and not as an afterthought, the femdom ranges from light to moderate to practically non-existent in some cases, oh and the game is English language as standard which is always nice.

I'm even a little surprised that this game hasn't taken off more than it already has, there are plenty of people playing not so great Japanese game over rape games and succubus RPG's that are objectively lower quality in writing (perhaps because of the whole lost in translation thing), less or similar levels of art and worse gameplay, perhaps it's the fact the game isn't finished yet but i think a lot of people who would love it are sleeping on this game for some reason.

I think it's the "text based" tag that usually keeps people on the fence. This is just my opinion, of course. This has struck me, from the start, as one of those games that only really sinks its teeth in you if you try it out for yourself first, screenshots and even the reviews, positive as they are, don't do it much justice in the end. I'm guilty of this as well, text based is not something I usually go for, but I'm glad I gave this one a chance. The fact Kotone exists is just the icing on the metaphorical fluff cake.

 

[GetInthengitout69]

My early experiences with H stuff was erotic stories and CoC so text based has never bothered me

You should definitely try ToT, it's a fantastic game with a variety of content and not just feet stuff. However, it's been in a tragic development cycle for the past two years. But there's lots there already and definitely worth trying.

I agree with the "text-based" nature being a turn off to a lot of people. It makes you think immediately of all the cookie-cutter HTML games and boring walls of text often written poorly. But MGD has excellent writing of course. It also has a lot more CG than most of those Japanese games you mention as well, which often will boast of "8 base CG, 16 variations!!!" or something like that ( ) so maybe text-based should be removed from this game's tags?

There have been a few hours of content added since v21.1, depending on how fast you read. There are several new characters with varying levels of relationship content including Mara who can be found in the Brothel, Venefica who can be found while on a quest for Elly, Beris the Hellhound as an early introduction before we find her out in the field, Galvi the Voltlin as an early introduction before we find her in the Capital, and even a new Bubble Slime on the Mountain. All of the Town NPCs have new conversations with Vivian even offering training, the ability to enter the early stages of romance with Belle, and Lilian receiving a rewrite to her new content that was included as a part of this. There is also a growing body of quality mods to enjoy such as Beach Party, Gorgon's Garden, and Mari the Butterfly that can be found on this

In terms of gameplay, it is not a radical departure, but there is much more flexibility with regards to how you can approach your build as Willpower is not strictly necessary for passing checks as Temptation checks are now a thing that use Intelligence, Willpower, and Allure. Willpower was divided into Intelligence for a magical offense attribute and Willpower for defenses. Power is now much more viable and is no longer as limited to Pain damage moves as it was before. Experience gains, the economy, and so on have been rebalanced which should cut down on the grind to a degree considering the overall higher drops of Experience and Eros.

I'd say it would be rewarding to start up and play again, but if you wait for the end of the month, there will be a new build featuring more Venefica and Elly content.

I do hope that you find this enlightening, yourownchicken.

Unless you've been banned, there is nothing wrong with having asked questions so far. If you were banned, asking questions in and of itself was not a problem, but any of your potential responses while asking questions and your answer when asked who told you about Venefica's place. Vili is the best overall answer given that response provides a large amount of affection, Ancilla is the second best response as long as you have a good relationship with her as Ancilla will cover for you. As long as your relationship with her is positive by the end of the questioning, you will not be banned but even then, you can pay to avoid being banned as well.

While not much, I do hope that you find this at least a little helpful, Mobbob90.

Welcome, glad that you're enjoying the title so far and finally have decided to give it a chance. As you're new and have requested a Mari banner, I have a welcoming present for you.



You have two different versions to choose from, either a larger Mari with a greater focus on her feet or a Mari ambush with the sun shining through the branches of the tree right above her. Feel free to add these to your master signature post when you have a chance to do so, Teleiah.

I do hope that you find one of these pleasing and welcome again, olorex11. You may like one of these as well GearlessJoe given a particular element of these banners.

As for update news, not much to report on other than work is continuing on the new Venefica and Elly content as well as some bug fixes. The update is slated for the end of the month at the latest, so an update can be expected by September 30th, assuming no issues arise that force a delay.

I don't think that's what they meant, you can get her to confess without beating her.
starlord777 you need a certain amount of progress with her. you need 35 progress with her, with different scenes giving differing amounts. quickest way is passing the drug check, not asking for seconds, and when you wake up, not resisting. that scene gets you 10 progress each time. other scenes don't give as much.
tldr: keep going to her and she'll eventually confess.

 

[Lewd Boi]

I see. i just thought that's the only way to make her confess.

I appreciate this, "why not both?", besides fetishes and writing I am really enjoying the RPG aspects of the game. Those roll checks are great and the stats/perks really gives you a personal touch to your character. Next I want to try for Kotone but...gonna take a while, Mari is too clingy (not that I'm complaining).
Just to finish I really should have tried MGD way earlier, thanks for the update, the banners and the ETA.

You can also call her cute three or four times in a row once you can talk to her and she'll transform accidentally, she'll confess in a slightly awkward conversation

God, if that isn't the most adorable thing I've heard. how can Threshold cram so many adorable girls in one game!? Literally the only girl I'm not a fan of is the shopkeep, and that's probably only because we know jack about her.
