Well I once again fell into the 'forget to check forums' hole when focusing on update things for the last bit, and decided to check in and do some responses to the last few pages on a day off. : D

Also I hope yall like Perpetua or you're probably not gonna like the update when it hits.



I'm really happy to see you're keeping on with your mod. : D

Still no idea why discord wont let you join the server...




From what I've heard some people have more issues than others, and I'm not fully sure why?
Though I do know the labyrinth could def use with an amount of optimization to fix a lot, but that would also take a lot of time to dig into I think, so I'll probably be a bit before I attempt bonking that into place.




Some are and have CGs, but yeah overall it is still primarily a text based game.




I hope you'll like it when it comes out. : D



Didn't like the mimics?
And the next update is the intro to the capital. Which is mostly focuses on Perpetua.



I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to the full location, once the intro section is out with its stuff I'll be doing parts of the capital in chunks. : D



I expect people will be disappointed and yell at me. : D But I'm doing my best.

The last update was new items, ceris art nudes and bug fixes, which was about a week after 24.4 which was Ceris lewds scenes and the gold mimic stuff, which out of the three month gap I Presume you mean, one month was entirely me being lost to my family as mentioned in the public status reports. Which really wasn't any part of my plans, and I'm really kinda not happy about it when the initial plan was two weeks. Which left me sick going into october, and then that leads into fleshing out logistics things, situating editor more into the workflow, then a release at the end of november.
Still not ideal time frame of course, but 3 months of work time is definitely not accurate to that update.




I mean, burn out did happen a ways back, but there's an amount of quality increase for things like combat in general compared to MGD earlier on, me trying to better pace myself to not have burn out again, now having an editor to go over writing before releases so there's way less typos and jankery, and me also spending efforts to try and expand writing commission operations with mixed results.
Along with all other kinds of things that pop up in life.
Point is, I will continue to do my best. : D

Overall I'd say the biggest time sink is writing.



Nothing that wasn't concepted from early on tbh. Though some things like combat events or otherwise def ended up requiring more time than expected.

And as said on multiple occasions the labyrinth map mechanics were not the primary time sink for the zone.



Those are separate things.
I don't think motivation loss is particularly an issue on my end? Because I still love working on MGD and really want to see it fully realized.
And burnout is a horrible thing, would not recommend. Takes ages to shake off.
Overall though there's a lot of things I've needed to sort out the prior year, I'm looking forward to making this a better one.



Yeah none of that is even remotely even part of any issues I've had.

Though I don't expect you to believe me.

I actively tell people to not support with money when it comes up, and I'm very confident that when MGD is done I can move onto another project and maintain or gain a following for it.
But money is not a = more content unfortunately, as I'm also just one guy, so if I'm sick or busy with other stuff I can't always put forward a full effort at all time.
and getting more people on the project is sadly not a simple toggle, technically having an editor now makes writing take longer as it goes through one or more passes of refinement depending. Which is much better than the raw unconstrained writing I was doing before. And the time thing also bounces back with me not needing to do nearly as much typo hunting after the fact.
Artists are also not always available so sometimes what I want to get isn't possible for an extensive time.
Game development is more complex than what you're giving it credit for.



It has been foreshadowed since at least the campers initially came out. : D

I mean, I kinda get what you mean, the voltlin teased is the generic variant of one, and there's a number of obviously succubi in silhouettes, and that's not really everyone's thing either.



Love you too bby.

More precisely tho, I in fact, misjudged the time it would take to make the fight.
Hit with skill response lines and stance struggle lines are a binch of a time sink.
But it's getting there. : D

Good to hear from you at last. I am still waiting for the update. Just hope it will not be small, since it's been a long time. And Perpetua is hilarious. It's always good to see her. As for CG's for the sex scenes - I have nothing against you, but I don't really want them in your game. You see, without them it's easier to assosiate myself with the MC. That is kinda the thing in MGD - to fully intergrate with the character.

I have argued with the developers more than once that their monster girls are too nice.
However, overall, the game is very good and this is my favorite game for fapping.

Perpetua was always a joke to me, I do not get invested in characters that are mainly used as a running gag, and it really does not help that she is a slime, one of the monster girl types that interest me the least, so this update will likely not do much for me if it has a heavy focus on her. Well you win some you lose some I guess.

I'm kind of hoping to see, or find, some clues in the encounters with her that lead up to a big reveal. Her being the Demon Queen would be...too silly, but kinda hoping there's more than the running gag. (or, god willing, a repeatable scene)

I agree that her being the demon queen would be too silly. I could see high ranking agent or spy though. Behave as ridiculous and over the top as possible and show up to challenge/test the ones she thinks have the most potential, then report back on their temperment, behavior, etc.

Ooh, I like the idea of her being a spy. Not just because it fits with my crackhead ass interpretation of the plot. That being this entire adventure is pure artifice, a conspiracy that possibly everyone of significance is a part of. I would bet the real her, is still probably a goofball, which is why say, a high int Hero couldn't sus out in character that something's up.

He leans maledom, so it makes sense.

In this game, the protagonist reverses it on the imps and fucks them into submission when he loses.
There are no scenes where the girls get up and fuck him into submission when they lose.

When guy leads he leads the entire time. When girl leads, there's a decent chance they'll get reversed.

I mean... have you seen Ceris' content? All the hellhounds besides Iabel are so disappointing.

...

Still a 9/10 game tho.

There's quite a bit of maledom in the game, along with femdom. Mix of both for all fields. Tengu's another one where the tables are turned.

I was just responding to what malcom said about the monster girls being too nice.
I think his expectations are weird for where the author is sexually.

EDIT: Also yeah. There's a lot of normal domination loss in the game. You can dom loss Imps, Shizu, Kaia, Beris(lol obviously), Aiko and... there's probably a few more. I think you can dom loss Vili too?
Turn em into your cocksleeves cause they're weak to dick.

I doubt it is really about the authors personal tastes and more the limiting nature of the setting. Plenty of monsters rape the protagonist, not exactly a nice thing to do, many involve pain while doing it, but that is the extend of what they can possibly do, as the next escalation would involve maiming, killing or prolonged enslavement, both of which are entirely impossible at this point due to the setting the creator provided with the whole "no actual injuries are possible here", "no death, soul sucking not allowed" and "you return to church when you are all fucked out".

Personally I like the cruel and rough route in all kind of rape games given that the act itself is always cruel, but I am not a fan of killing and maiming even during game over scenes, so that works in my favor so far. Also what people who ask for more cruel monster girls seem to forget here is that this is a mixed domination game, so monster girls having more options to be cruel would have to open the door for the protagonist to do the same to satisfy both crowds, which I as one of the rare people who are fine with both would just applaud, but the vast majority of masochists who are only into femdom certainly would not.

My doods. I ask you... What do I press to equip gear. It's not giving me the option and it's not in the wiki or controls info. Thanks, Mr F
