Ren'Py Monster Girl Dreams [v27.1a Alpha] [Threshold]

[Mustang Flex]

So we're under 50% of the actual meat and potatoes of the next zone what's supposed to be of such amazing quality as to be worth the delay. I don't wanna go full doomsayer just yet, but I'm starting to get Lilith's Throne vibes here. We're not here yet, though. Not until Thresh starts making statements about refocusing on x or y to make updates come faster; or that some feature was holding updates up, and it's removal will speed things up...only for delays to start up again.

There were multiple delays. This time last year, Thresh was burnt out. Then he did a bunch of side stuff that comprised the updates we did get this year (Bon Bon Bun, Bubble Slime Girl, expanded Kotone's content, etc.) Then, when he started the Labyrinth... he was building a new game within the game from scratch, pushing Renpy to do something it's not really designed to do. The area will only have 4 characters, and you'll have a top-down view of the level of the maze you're on, where you are, where the MG is, the current state of certain traps... it's like a turn-based Pac-Man, and it took a long time to get working. Now he's writing for the characters, their temptation scenes, their "loss" scenes, and the trap tiles too. All of this from one dude. I'm thinking it's going to be worth the wait.

I am a low level patron, so to summarize:

Thresh has completed Ceris and part of Beris, two of the four MGs in the Labyrinth. He anticipates being able to complete Beris this month, and thanks everyone for their patience as this new zone is built.

So my guess for release now is June-July

June-July

New monster girl?

New monster girl?

Guessing by how long it takes to release Labyrinth, maybe Threshold will release it's sooner, but looking by how long it took to make two hell hounds, I wouldn't expect anything else beside Labyrinth this year.

Balancing patches(?) revisions, reimplementations and extending of an existing characters is also possible.

i think what i and many others really want are more cgs like the ones in this post:

all ThresholdMGD needs to do is use the 2800$ he's been milking every month and hire more artist
then create folders for the cgs and insert lines into the code of the existing scenes
monthly updates with new cgs would be best

 

[Oluap-Player]

Yeah because that's all he uses the money for, not like he has bills to pay or anything of the sort. If all you care about is ART ART ART ART in a text-based game, I'd suggest you find your fap material elsewhere.

For the love of god, stop responding to it. The year might be new but that doesn't mean it gained IQ.

i don't know what he is using all that free money for.. (hope it's not horse cum)
but his patreon says: "Approximately 2-6 art a month based on complexity"

and since the labyrinth takes forever
he could at least use some more of that sweat free milk
and have additional artists help him to deliver on his "2-6 art a month" promise
that would be better than hearing about new delays and excuses every month...
is all i'm saying

i want more villi cgs now!!

I'm used to one and two man shows having to temper their expectations, or slow down once the weight of their project catches up to them. Still, gonna be a shame if the momentum lost with this all of 4 character zone update stays lost afterword. Maybe if the gameplay of the labyrinth is fucking incredible instead of just different and difficult to implement, it'll be worth it. Not personally counting on that though, since it doesn't sound like the kind of thing that'd pique my interest in MGD as a game instead of just a smut delivery vehicle.

Remember everyone, porn game developers are not human beings - they are merely robots in which you insert money and return 1 porn unit per money.

Issues like:

• A global pandemic
• Burnout
• Family Issues
• Living Expenses

Do not apply to robots. Unfortunately, if your porn game developer is broken, you cannot physically fix the issue due the the fact that you are on one side of a screen. Instead, the only way to fix the issue it to verbally make complains in text form repeatedly again and again on piracy forums.

This has been the instruction manual for how to treat porn game developers.

(Obvious sarcasm is obvious, but man does this thread get depressing at times lol)

I am getting some real pickaxe vibes from this.

Is there more content with belle? She is my favorite. I got all the recipes, I think? I got the manticore tailpiece and everything else.

Have you seen the scene where she milks herself? That's all she has at the moment.

Indeed and oh darn. I hope there is more. What's the last thing in this version of the game?? If you can please keep me up to speed.

Ahhh Belle... she is lovely.
Lets see... iirc you mainly gotta raise her affection by flirting and helping her with her recipes:

well about that, this usually happens, since most of the time that a game or update is release we find a lot of bugs the next update after this is about bug fixes,in my opnion is complicaded to add new things while you still have to fix the old things.
