Ren'Py Monster Girl Dreams [v26.8a Alpha] [Threshold]

[Mustang Flex]

Ngl, I really dig Amber's current look. Still, I'm not gonna complain about a darker skin tone. Gods bless whatever artist in Japan first interpreted dark elf to mean literally dark skin color.

 

[decker2]

Venefica expanding from a small encounter to a sprawling quest is a notable element for delaying plans, but the results can be argued to have been worth the impediment to story progress. Vili was the last "small side thing" that similarly expanded from a small encounter to an entire mini-dungeon. So when inspiration strikes Thresh like this, the results have turned out to be quite well done even if they do result in impeding the arrival of other content.

well vili had a fight from the beginning (i think)
all we get from venefica is candy and milk also getting milked
(also no fight for kotone,minoni )
and don't say she too strong to to sparring cause she is the super bunny witch
i can take her i have 40% crit chance 3x crit dmg
I'll knead these choco tits dry

You can even be mean to Vili by just walking out the first time you meet her and listening to her cry, walk back in to raise her hopes, and then dash them by cruelly walking back out again causing her to sorrowfully wail as you actually leave.

There have been jokes that if you acted like a cretin to everyone and picked every churlish option, the enchantment would do Mika a solid and allow her to kick you in the groin full force.

also what kind of cold blooded nazi would be so mean to vili that's sick man
she just wants to buffbuff and turn you into her titties slave

also thats one hell of a text wall

 

[Chaos La Croix]

Apologies for the silence once again everyone, work has been quite busy and I used my last day off this past Sunday to unwind and decompress.



The battle system as it currently stands will probably be fine for quite some time given how thorough the balance changes were and how well it seems to have turned out as a whole. It could potentially need or receive minor balance changes as new content arrives to keep it fair in the event some exploit on the player's or enemies' side comes to light, but combat as it stands now is in a fair place. And yes, dungeon navigation would not have any impact on that whatsoever beyond potentially impacting the number of fights in certain sections like the long hallway on the Will side of the Will-Power Temple in the event it is changed with the navigation system if it is chosen.

As for the MEGA links, I only made those since those were explicitly requested by certain individuals who had issues with the file hosts currently available. I would prefer to offer links via a different host as well given that MEGA does have some issues and could nuke that account at any moment given what has happened to Threshold's MEGA accounts in the past when they did use MEGA to offer download mirrors. I did ask those that wanted a MEGA option for downloads if there were any other acceptable hosts, but none of them replied and offered up any other hosts capable of suiting their needs, so MEGA's what is being offered for now.



Well, one year without a new opponent is not quite accurate since as Thresh mentioned, the currently unnamed

was recently added in v23.3 and she is an opponent who can be fought on the Mountain. Next month should see a number of new encounters and a new area as the Labyrinth update is currently planned to be November's update, assuming nothing occurs to force a change for whatever reason. So while yes, it will be a little over a year without a new area due to the focus on revamping antiquated systems, tuning up balance for the game as a whole as combat, leveling and experience, and the economy were all adjusted, fleshing out older areas and expanding on existing characters, adding the early foreshadowing encounters for a Labyrinth character and a pair of Capital characters, and finally adding a new "small side thing" that happened to bloat massively in scope due to inspiration, it has still be a productive year, even if we are not currently where Threshold wanted to be at this point in time.

Venefica expanding from a small encounter to a sprawling quest is a notable element for delaying plans, but the results can be argued to have been worth the impediment to story progress. Vili was the last "small side thing" that similarly expanded from a small encounter to an entire mini-dungeon. So when inspiration strikes Thresh like this, the results have turned out to be quite well done even if they do result in impeding the arrival of other content.

I do hope that you find this informative, sandsea_urchin



The Labyrinth update is planned to be November's update at this point in time. Current plans are to work on a small little side project that is estimated to take a week then shift focus back to Elly's quest and Venefica's content for this month's updates and then delve into working on the Labyrinth for next month.

I do hope that this is an adequate answer to your question, decker2.



This was accurate but Threshold has mentioned that they have a small intermediate project they are working on that will take roughly a week before returning to Elly and Venefica. Not entirely certain what it is as of yet, but it could very well have something to do with the latest art teaser on Patreon as Amber has redesigned art that changes her from a Drow to a Dark Elf more in line with the original vision for the character. Applehead made the new art for Amber much like they made the older art for her, so if nothing else, one can see Applehead's improvement as an artist by comparing the two pieces of art.

I do hope that you derive some value from this information, SlimeCrow.



The new conversation with Venefica is based on information from Elly and replaces her old "So are you a witch?" dialogue option with "So you're the Queen of Witches?" dialogue option.

Spoiler: New Venefica Conversation

So that just provides a little more information and backstory on Venefica. As for Elly and being unable to unlock her experiments, you actually do NOT want to report absolutely everything to Elly. Certain options such as reporting on paying to touch Venefica's ears or that you have become Venefica's paypet reduce Elly's affection instead of increasing her progress. While the bar to access the experiments was temporarily lowered to 30 as it is currently not possible to reach the required 50 progress with Elly to unlock them normally, the total is still tight enough that a few drops in progress can soft-lock you out of her experiments until more options to raise her progress are introduced. It also doesn't help that the +5 progress for showing Elly the True Sigil of Power was not added until this update and is not retroactive.

You can use the

You must be registered to see the links

to try and rectify this however. You can use

ProgressEvent[getFromName("Head over to Elly's table.", EventDatabase)].eventProgress

to check your progress with Elly. Using that same code along with say += 5 or += 10 like ....eventProgress += 10 to add 10 points of progress or using ...eventProgress = 44 to set your progress with Elly to the current maximum progress of 44 without the experiments as those can add an additional 9 points in total as each experiment can award 3 points of progress could help in the event you have locked yourself out of advancing Elly's content for the time being.

I do hope that this helps you with seeing this update's new content, Globglogabgalab69.



While it is doubtful that every character will receive jerk route options, there are a fair number of them as have been mentioned by doomgal. You can also be truculent to an Imp stuck in the wall while cleaning with Ancilla and just make a comment about leaving them trapped to eventually perish. Losing enough progress with Ancilla between acting like a heartless monster and a hopeless pervert can lock you out of her content as well as she'll want nothing to do with you due to your maliciousness and/or apparently only seeing Monster Girls as vessels with which to relieve your lust rather than the people they are. You can even be mean to Vili by just walking out the first time you meet her and listening to her cry, walk back in to raise her hopes, and then dash them by cruelly walking back out again causing her to sorrowfully wail as you actually leave.

We do know that the commander who owns the Casino in the Capital can be incredibly petty given she would essentially implement an embargo on the Will-Power Temple if the Oni Twins were to spoil her introduction by revealing her species of Monster Girl and name. So she could fit the bill given that is rather suspect behavior. Additionally, there are the few remaining active True Succubi, the extremist factions of Monster Girls like the one that advocates the total enslavement of humanity, those that do engage in human slave trading like that one Succubus who has the player fill their wine glass during the Succubus Party gloryhole scene and attempts to purchase the player from the Inn before she is informed that the player is a free worker, and so on. So I could see such a figure possibly appear in the Capital since they are confirmed to exist in lore.

I do hope that you find this information tantalizing with regards to future prospects, Khuntai.



I just tested it and the mod works just fine in 23.4 if you are using v1.09 of the Mari the Butterfly mod. What does it looks like on your end as this is what it looks like for me:

Spoiler: Mari Mod in Mods Folder

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I just downloaded and extracted the zip and then dragged that folder into the Mods folder before opening the game and doing a quick run of the Mystic Forest with the clearing as one of the items in the adventure deck for that run. From the phrasing, it sounds like you downloaded the source code zip rather than the MariTheButterfly1.09 zip. If so, when you extract the source zip, the folder you get is MariTheButterfly-1.09 that then contains the MariTheButterfly folder that you'd need to drag, move, or copy over to the .../game/Mods folder. If you the folder you have there is MariTheButterfly-1.09, that could be the issue that is causing your game to experience errors when trying to enjoy the mod.

While this is not much, I do hope that you find this helpful, Oibò.

Now for development update news, to begin with there is a teaser for supporters of Amber's new art. Rather than Amber's current Drow-like appearance with her pallid complexion, the new art is more inline with Amber's text description and has the chocolate skin tone of a Dark Elf instead. Her clothes are also somewhat skimpier in this new look, so it could take some getting used to for those familiar with the current Amber art assets.

As for update progress, Threshold has announced that 23.5 will be a small intermediate project that should take a week and then work will resume on finishing up more of Elly's quest and Venefica's content for a second update this month. Then work will shift to the Labyrinth as that is planned to be November's major update. A little light on details I'll admit, but I'll share more when I know more.

I do hope that everyone interested in this information finds this at least a little useful.

I dont like leaving her alive considering her kill count is bigger than I would wager most of modern day earths killers combined.....BUT you do make an extremely, genuinely good point about Sofia. She does make a damn fine tool and example to keep other would be murderers from killing/eating anyone even though thats like sitting on an emotionless living atom bomb. On to the Kotone thing. To me perfectly honest...I understand her. Hate and rage and anger are powerful motivators. Not to mention the thought of knowing a genuine injustice is going on that you not only know about but have the power to stop....those make for a very dangerous combination, but the question about her specifically was more so curiosity than actual malice anyway. Lastly while I wouldnt relish being an ass to a fair amount of the characters I wouldnt hesitate IF I got to see a pic of mika kicking the mc in the nuts. That has to be the the funniest thing ive heard of in months. If not years.

 

[ara1111]

let her live so i may dick her
let her live for my dick

 

[Chaos La Croix]

Man, what's with you and wanting more fights? You got some sorta murder boner going? but seriously, I can understanding wanting more fights, as the combat is fun (until you grind too much and can Headpat to death everything I guess), but I think most people are drawn to this game thanks to it's monstergirl fluffiness. most other games have MGs raping or getting raped, and the few that don't are typically entirely Moonrunes or horribly MTLed. So being able to play one where everything's just a little softer is great.

I won't deny I'd have fun fighting the townies, but I can total understand if that never happens. I mean how often do you see Mario throw hands with a Toad? that said, I feel it'll probably happen eventually, but I think it would really have to make sense storywise. For example, Elena teaches you most of your skills, and used to be quite the powerful adventurer pre-"promotion", so I'd say she's pretty tough. (plus Thresh already had to remake the tutorial before, and scraping that again just seems dumb.) I think the best way to set this up is that fighting her is a test you need to pass to access better facilities from the guild. maybe something like higher end skill tomes, not trusted to low level adventurers? Also, I think the Arena would make more sense in the Capital, where it would make more sense to show off ones "skills".

You understand that rape is still rape no matter how "Fluffy" it is. If someone doesnt want to fuck you and you SOMEHOW use magic to charm them into it or force them into submission then its rape. Nothing about that is soft. That said I would like some better spells than just purely sex stuff. Maybe something like an upgraded version of the sleep spell or electrify just to give those like me and the (assumedly) dude youre responding to something that we'd like. Higher tier spells will eventually have to be a must anyway so why not let more people enjoy the game their way right?

 

[Chaos La Croix]

So a thought just occurred to me while responding to someone else. In the world mgd takes place in, something like Sofia would be massively powerful so if they used something like the electrify spell you can learn would that mean that its also massively powerful and therefor a legitimate threat to someones life or would it just default to standard levels for plot convinence?

 

[Chaos La Croix]

Ngl, I really dig Amber's current look. Still, I'm not gonna complain about a darker skin tone. Gods bless whatever artist in Japan first interpreted dark elf to mean literally dark skin color.

But dark elves are indeed literally darker skin toned than normal elves.

 

[decker2]

But dark elves are indeed literally darker skin toned than normal elves.

they are also more kinky and sneaky (they make better assassins and thieves)
(does this sound racist)

You understand that rape is still rape no matter how "Fluffy" it is.

in a world where only pleasure works battle fuck is the best way for self defense, fight fire with fire
(or run away every time you encounter a monster girl, like a sissy)

 

[tony_redgrave]

There have been jokes that if you acted like a cretin to everyone and picked every churlish option, the enchantment would do Mika a solid and allow her to kick you in the groin full force.

Needs to be implemented lmao.

Does make me raise questions on the enchantment though. Like what are the rules for it? It seems that intent is important as erotic pain attacks are seemingly not affected, but then one of the Oni sisters gets concerned that she broke your pelvis. I remember Shizu tricking the MC into thinking she was going to kick him in the groin as well.

You make a fair point. Rape is rape whether through physical violence or any other means. That said, I still feel this game is still "softer" (not soft) with you being saved via the return stone, compared to other MG games where you are enslaved, cum to death, or straight up eaten and dissolved (looking at you MGQ).
I'm kinda confused on what kind of spells other than purely sex stuff you're thinking of. A better Sleep I can understand, but I'm stumped on how you'd improve electrify. I don't think you can amp up the power, because at that point I imagine it would be blocked by the whole "no hurting" enchantment. I'm all for allowing new play styles (I once tried a "no sex" run, but gave up around the mountains), as long as they aren't messing too much with the canon.

To be honest I could only think of maybe (in terms of safety) adding a paralyze effect or going to far resulting in a bad end or something. I mean different people have wildly different levels of pain tolerance. So what could be kinky to one person could be lethal to another.

MC lit fucks almost non-stop for whole days with some of the girls. Sometimes I do wonder if MC is actually human.

 

[Mustang Flex]

I just assume the MC is some kind of sex powered angelic robot. Think Pelinal Whitestrake but fucking elves instead of killing them.

 

[Lewd Boi]

After all, MC is the chosen one by Venerae, of course he will be that powerful. but in the end, the barrier will probably took care the matchmaking. Like making a sadistic adventurer encounter an ideal masochist MG, or an adventurer with mommy issues encounters an Milfy MG, and etc.

 

[Ronto Dragion]

Lore wise in this case it's kind of like... overloading the grimoire I guess?

Why not make the MC choose how much power he uses? Like Sofia fights? Maybe we can do a 10% power increase level stuff like a slider that will increase/decrease your power level by percentage? "I am only using 20% of my power" stuff literally.

I am maxed out kinda and whenever I want to enjoy the Deek Funeral from the Oni sisters, I have to fuck here and there to lower my 13 spirits to 2-3 and wait my turns mostly to make sure I don't win by accident. I can pretty much spankgasm them in six turns without loosing any single spirit.

If you want, I can help with the renpy coding. I can share that burden, for the community.

 

[RodolFaso]

Some time ago I lost my game and started a free harem game but recently I managed to get it back so I recently played the new additions. Something that at first seemed secondary to me were the stage designs but now that it is implemented I think they look quite good, regarding Venefica she has been a character that I quite like and I have enjoyed all her content and although I am never interested in findom her scenes about it seemed pretty good to me. I also liked Elly's new content, regarding her puzzle I have tried some accessories to see if there is any type of hidden content but at the moment I have not found anything...

Seriously tho. I totally support something like this or the girls leveling up after some time.
I can barely touch Gren without making her orgasm.

MC lit sounds like a rap name

 

[Teleiah]

MC lit sounds like a rap name

I mean, it is kinda related to rap.
MC comes from Master of Ceremonies which is used as a title for rappers with good rapping skills.

However, in this case MC means Main Character.
