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

[Harem_Master]

I remember when this game was getting regular updates and was relatively new. It had so much potential, and remains a good game, but modern ones really do compete and are still getting updates. The timeframe has grown so large it becomes almost impossible to play this until it's done because you'd forget most things in between; the same problem as with Harem Hotel, etc.

But Harem Hotel does give us a yearly update or more, and usually Mythic Manor updates followed HH by about a month.

Harem Hotel has been on a similar trajectory, around 2022, it slowed from 3 updates a year to 2, then the past 2 years have been annual updates. Mythic Manor's problems started in 2021 when it dropped from a 3ish month update cycle to a 6 month, then after June '22 it became 8-11 months between updates.

Bad all around, but if we're keeping score, Mythic Manor has yet to go a full calendar year without a public release, Harem Hotel has done so with the last 2 updates.

It's always the same with most games.
The more support they get, the more updates take a backseat.
The important thing is to squeeze the most out of their backers.
There are exceptions, but unfortunately, almost 90 percent of games follow the same pattern.

One of these days, a large group of people will get fed up forever and stop supporting projects.
And we'll have a debacle.
The vast majority or all of them will lose hundreds of patrons.
And there will be a general cleanup.
And two sides will remain.
Those who do it for the love of art.
And those who will flee, abandoning their game.

Agreed, but it long ago really stopped progressing.

I thought that the dev has another game and that is why it is so slow?

If he does, we're not aware of it.

Well, the game is far from completed.
They might as well make a new game or two.

So *supposedly* MM was made by a pair of creators, and the more technical of the two stepped away from the project. The remaining person has claimed they were going to hire someone to take that over, but it never materialized.

This is made all the stranger by the fact that this is a Ren'Py visual novel, so it's fairly simple, and nothing other than visuals/new scenes have been added in years.

It's really unfortunate, they were making over 10k/month on Patreon until they kept letting the 6 month window blow by.

This is way out of "Left Field", but suppose the entire game is being remade like what happened with Wicked Rouge turning into the Refined version while the original was abandoned... At least we would be notified, right?

Oh, we'd know. Announcing a remake of a dying project is like the oldest trick in the book.
