I was happy to see the update finally come out, but I must say the comments have tempered what little illness-soaked excitement I can muster. Even I'm aware that the last few updates were either light or wholly disappointing, and it seems Jikei is starting to inch toward DarkCookie work ethics.

Still gonna play it when I can later. Just hope this is finally the time for Nefari.

so did you play this game i mean i went over the change log and it said something about 2 sunday events being updated and alot of repeatable scenes were updated and i after i seen the comments of this page

i think my question is i waited almost 3 months for this? just because music being updated in the game was the main focus of the update

View attachment 218375

well this month wasnt a complete waste given the updates that showed up in it and will be showed up in it also ive played Become a rockstar so thats good
Yeah, I played it, what there was of it. It was cute, but not what I would call thrilling. I know I was hoping for more, but that is how QoL updates tend to be. There were a lot of little changes, just not ones most people wanted to see. That said, I can see that if I were to start the game over, some of those changes would make the game more fun, so as long as this stays a one off deal, I won't get upset by it.

I get why people are upset, but relax guys. Your needs (more story and content) won't always align with what Jikei has planned for the entirety of the game. Okay, so the majority of us are probably better off waiting for the next update, but every new player will enjoy a richer experience thanks to updates like this. We'll also benefit from the same things in future updates.

Just be patient and try to appreciate the fact that Jikei is doing his best to deliver a complete, quality product. You can tell it's because he loves what he's creating.
I'm waiting for 0.9 but I agree with this stance. There's a lot of people out there who haven't played MM yet that will undoubtedly have an even more enjoyable experience than we did the first time we went through each update.

Ehhh. Roxy's update was pretty much the only one worthwhile last year, and it seems the more money he gets the slower each update takes. There's also how he keeps pumping his game with so much unneeded shit and fuckery that just keep breaking it.

At least the music nobody asked for *should* be harmless.

WTF? Seriously? Is she being reserved for, like, the finale or something? Just when I thought my interest could go no lower. By jove, it seems I am skipping a Mythic Manor update for the first time. Thanks for informing me, at least.

Wow, so much shade being cast in this thread- I had to turn a light on. :)

Okay, so this may not have been the update that everyone wanted or was expecting- but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was bad. If anything it was more of a technical update- now a lot more of the events are repeatable which is a good thing, there's a lot scenes that I liked rewatching and now I don't have to dig through the 100+ pages of saves I have to find them. I also like addition of more music and the SFX. The music selections are poignant and fit the tone and mood of the game- making it a better experience, imho. The sounds effects add another layer of immersion that neither detract or enhance the game- they're just a nice addition to an already great game.

I'm sure it took the Dev quite a while to implement these changes and enhancements- it's not like he can rub a 1980's VHS tape and have the "Porn Genie" come up and just grant his wish to do all of these modifications. They probably took a great deal of time- either writing new code, ensuring the repeatable events looped properly, adding/modifying existing renders, and then having to play it to make sure that there were no game-breaking bugs/issues. I have to say this is one game that I've never seen any problems with, I don't think I've ever seen a 'Rollback Error", unless I did something stupid or didn't update it correctly. This was/is/and will probably always be a solid game- in terms of art, story, and writing. It could also be possible that the Dev always wanted these changes to be integrated into the game before now, but didn't know how to go about doing or didn't have the resources to make it possible.

At best, maybe this should have been called "0.7.5t" (t=technical) that way it may not have gotten everybody's hopes up so high or made them feel like this update was something of a letdown. I, for one, appreciate the fact that you have a Dev who is not only willing to keep creating new and quality content, but is also willing to step back and see what can be improved on with what he's already done. That's true dedication.

Was the new Sunday Event and Multi-Girl event the greatest- compared to other updates? Not as such, but it was still new content on top of all of the improvements that were made to the game AND it's not like a new game had to be started because of these enhancements...like a lot of other Devs. Be thankful for that. :) Also, if someone were new to this game and is discovering it for the first time- try to imagine how much better or enriched their gaming experience will be because of them.

It's okay to be disappointed that you didn't get everything you were hoping for out of this update, but some of you sound like you're ready to lynch the poor guy because of [x]reason. Now that all of these tweaks and fixes are in place- the Dev shouldn't have to go back and make the changes again, moving forward it should all be more of the new and excellent content that we've come to expect from him. :)

Last, but not least- I don't know if anyone has postulated this theory...(not planning on going through 200+ pages to check).

They would have to use VHS.

I think they shot themselves in the foot a little with the . It was written a bit like corporate jargon, not actually lying but over selling what new content was coming.

Most people just unzip it and move the save folder over, there's no updating (unless your on android then I'm not sure how it works).
Errrrorrrr :(
Corrupted image maybe, try unzipping it again and/or downloading it again maybe? No one else seems to have made a post about that error.

Yeah I can't load saves, no option to type in code either so I can just start a new game with progress, no way I'm using up 20 hours of my life clicking back to where I was.
So.... broken update? What's happening? Can anyone else actually enter the code with save progress because I got no such option.

That movie was a classic- it's too bad that Kelly LeBrock did not age well...or Kathy Ireland. :)

Well, that's why I suggested the "technical" update angle- that's not to say that a lot work didn't go into this update, but just not enough new content to be considered a proper update. Also, this was out relatively soon after the Holidays- which means the Dev probably had other commitments to deal with, in addition to performing all these tweaks and implementations.

I'd rather not condemn someone just because of a "one-off" situation, but rather look at his track record as a whole (which others seem to be forgetting)- previous updates were always full of new content and you had the ability to get at least 1-3 skill points with each lady, in addition to introducing and/or laying the groundwork for new mechanics/content (the binoculars thing is still a WIP, I'm sure something good will come from that...not to mention Jade or Iris). We shall have to wait and see.

I just wish that there was more planned with Cei, she would be a welcome addition to the Manor*- as well, as having another character to off-set the breast ratio would be nice. Tbth, I'm not typically a fan of "flotation devices", but this game has such a unique premise (I've always be a fan of "Myths & Legends"), a fantastic story and writing, stunning artwork and ladies with their own individual personalities, and it's just a whole lot of fun to play. :)

*She could stay in my room with me. :p
