Ren'Py Mythic Manor [v0.22] [Jikei]

[QQP_Purple]

I've been following this discussion for a while and the more I read this the more I conclude that the DEVs have simply bitten off more than they can chew. Seriously, if your game has so many characters that developing something for each takes so long people think the game is dead than you have too many characters.

I've seen this sort of thing before. People have a million things they want their product to do and they want them all at once. It's called feature creep. And it ain't pretty. In my experience that's one of the leading causes of project failure. And I don't just mean games made by two people either but proper corporate projects with entire organizations working on them as well. So be warned.


As for those saying people here don't matter you are dead wrong. We are the potential customer base for this game. And the exposure a game gets on places such as this simply by virtue of the amount of people looking at this forum is far greater than the number of people that'll randomly stumble upon it on patreon. So this (and places like this) are a store font. This thread (and others like it on other forums) and the releases and discussions on it are what I and many others look to when deciding if we want to throw our money at a game or not. After all, it's not like the dev has a media machine pumping out hype like AAA games do. So community management is everything.

I won't stand for any Nefari slander. "Flat chest big ass" is too rare in these kind of games, we must preserve what we have.

Preach, brother

i can agree with this partially as the devs announced that it would be a rather unusually large update. there for i would like to judge after the next update. if its enough to take so long i can understand the devs if not i agree with you. though personally i think that as they are doing sefari her story into cyro it would be developing a completely new country i do think that thats the reason they take so long. though i can get the frustration.
more communication with the supporters here on twitter on their sites would be helpful as they have been rather quiet.

It's not frustration. It's just me, the consumer, giving everyone here consumer input and advise.

If you want people to buy into your product you have to actually try and sell it. And right now, the utter lack of information and communication means that I and many others just aren't sold.

Fuck me, went through Covid and catching up on my favorite titles.
Five months later and I haven't missed a thing. Amazing :^)
Dropped.

Especially since it's a pleasantly curvy ass and not some cartoon Kim Kardashian nightmare thing that wont fit through a doorway like so many games. I've got about 3-4 "favorite" girls (ok, maybe more), but Nefari is probably my "favorite favorite"

 

[anna94]

Huh? Is this abandoned? I thought it had such a huge support

 

[Evil13]

Check the patreon, there was an art update at the start of the month.

 

[Bitterbelle]

I doubt this will go down well but here goes.
I don't dislike Velle, but the fact that MC does not take extreme exception to the complete removal of his agency is really rubbing me the wrong way.
I'd slap the soul out of her for pulling that shit.

'The line is dot to you!'.

What kind of simpering pussy just accepts that with zero objection what-so-ever. At the least she'd be politely informed that we'd have a serious problem if she did that again.
Seriously who just rolls over and takes that?, MC has zero backbone. Not a peep from him the spineless sack of shite.

wait...what did I miss? What are you talking about? Guess I'm gonna have to replay from the beginning because I have no Idea what you're talking about. Obviously I skipped some dialogue somewhere.

I won't deny that I like the "impossibly huge ass that would impact your daily life" types too, but you're right, it's nice to have a more realistic but still enticing figure.

 

[BeautifulMachine]

Good game, graphics were nice & I liked it but it's not for me. No control over MC and that's a must. Example: pick a prostitute you've just met to rail in the back room of a whore house would be a hard pass for me but you aren't given that option. There is a difference between sexy and sleazy and for my tastes at least, this is on the wrong side of it. A simple 'nope out' option would have me playing as I enjoyed a lot of the content but given the way the game is constructed it doesn't seem like something that will be added/considered.

If it ever is, I'll pick it back up in a heartbeat.

Hello everyone, we want to first say thank you for your support of Mythic Manor! Here is another update on the development of v0.17.

Sadly, this version has by far taken the longest to release in the history of development. We are truly sorry for this. We want to assure you that this was not planned and is not how we intend to release future versions.

While it is not our intent to spout excuses, we want to let you know, in hopes of earning your further understanding, that certain circumstances in the recent months required our immediate attention and a very sudden switch in our priorities. These unfortunate circumstances have greatly impacted not only our work schedules, but our entire lives. Neither of us wish to go into strenuous detail aside from the fact that they, by degree are related to the current global situation.

Regardless, we are currently working to get v0.17 out as quickly as possible. As of now, our time frame is to get everything finished and have the release as quickly as possible in May.

I want to reiterate that the length in which v0.17 has taken is not how we will release future versions. We will always strive to get each version out in a timely manner. We are eternally grateful for your understanding and that you have all chosen to support our humble game! We will release a few teaser images for our patrons in a few minutes (in a separate post)!

Cheers,

Phreeoni & Jikei

I like my girls THICC, that will never change but Nefari in this game is just fucking hot. The maturity, the confidence, the ass - she just offers by far the steamiest scenes. Not my fave character sure but a big uodate heavily focusing on her is just as welcome as had it been Fenora instead. Besides each of the girls seems to be getting one of these - a heavily family focused character development story for each of the main girls and with this we're only left with one and im not sure that we have not had one for her yet (Esther) simply because of Patreon and the fact her bestie where all her past background has been shown to be just so happens to be the MC's mother (im sure more than a few want some scenes with HER lol)

Hell im actually quite enjoying the amount of content veering towards fresher faces and have said before id even take a full update all focusing on side girls on the card list. The mains are awesome, they are the stars of the show but most are not exactly sitting on cliff hangers or anything so we can really go back and bang that mall cop, actually get our hands on the clothes shop owner and maybe even tap the marmaid/dark elf which showed up for one scene but have never been seen since (why feature them if we dont get to enjoy them up close and personal?).

 

[redgreenblue_34]

Having to wait sucks but it's nice to see Nefari appreciation.
Nefari best girl, she's so unbelievably hot every time I play the game I can't help but simp hard for her
edit: I really want a Nefari armpit event too bad the game is vanilla oriented

learning that a fellow Nefari appreciator is also a fellow pit fiend feels like destiny
