Since we're moving into the end-game, it may be a decent time to take stock.
I think it's fair to both admire what the game has achieved and acknowledge that it never really became what I'd hoped for. The early-to-mid game (and the stat system) had me hoping that we would eventually reach a greater variety of content and more options for meaningfully developing Myriam's character.
Instead the game has leaned heavily into a few niches (gangbangs, rape, and general degradation, with a sprinkling of race fetishism and bestiality), none of which appeal to me personally -- and all of them optional, I should stress.
The game is still a massive and commendable achievement, even if I find myself avoiding most of the sexual content as it goes on. Presumably this is what the paying supporters are after, and I can't really argue with giving paying customers what they want.
i'm quite astonished that despite myriam getting into all kinds of sexual situations (also unbelieveable ones like the gangbang with the youths), the story is simultaneously leaving some scenarios completely unexplored (like prostitution, she only posed as one in one scene only. or pornography, she has a pornstar friend for crying out loud!) and at the same time delved so deep into certain scenarios, they are so overused they border with becoming boring (like the things you say: gangbangs, rape and general degradation).
i'm simultaneously thinking "there is so much left undone, how can this game end?" and "yeah, it's probably best if the game ends before it gets repetitive."
yeah and i agree that the point system is kind of useless, because the sadness and happiness value should affect scenes and not just give flavor of what i should do in a situation, like most of the other values as well. the ones that are actually permitting or prohibiting scenes, are then mostly overriden with the lust stat anyway, which means that one should level lust almost exclusively.
Zorlun damn bro why can't everyone be like you i mean you listen to fans(active in the thread too) and after a week or so you release the public version.
Honestly wanna appreciate and support you more man .

Mate, I don't really know what you mean. Myriam's dad is a multimillionaire and My herself pretty sure has some millions. Prostitution in this context makes no sense. And yet Zorlun managed to put a full blown prostitution scene into this story. Same with porn. This is litterally one of the endings.

Nope, unless you mean someone like Paris Hilton, who had the "leaked" home porn video that nobody except the judge in her case believed was leaked against her will (or maybe he did not believe it, but legally there was no proof of consent, so he had to accept her lawyers' thesis) and everybody knew it was a publicity stunt, actually showing she would not even be good as a porn actress.
The ones you are referring to are not really rich, they go with rich men to get stuff and eventually a marriage and divorce, so after the divorce they can really be "rich bitches" :-D
There are other reasons why a rich woman can still want to do some porn or even prostitution, that are not economical, so much the prostitution scene is more Myriam playing the prostitute part than really prostituting, and the porn will not be for money but for other reasons.
For those complaining, yes, there are some lines clearly underused and that could have been developed more, but that is also because Zorlun tried to give the maximum variety possible, in the end, there are limits to for how long he can go on with the game.

I'll make a little debriefing over how things went with the game once done, but yes, as an experimental first game, there is certainly a lot of things to go over, things missed or badly done, the fact is that I purposefully pushed on some things during the game to test the limits of what can be done and what I could do myself.
But despite all its blemishes and bumps on the road, Project Myriam will have been a great experience for me, and I hope for most of its players, thank you all for the adventure. ^^

Some of what you listed are yet to come in some of the general and personal endings (meaning endings without and with specific lovers).
For the stats, some will have only relevance in the endings, notably 'Happiness' and 'Sadness' (as already announced); some of the stats had an occasional relevance as a barrier entry, though more in the early game, and will again have their little scenes in general endings; and some were definitely side tracked, like 'Loyal' and 'Cheat', I added them for the "just in case", but the fact is that it was not something I wanted much to explore with Myriam, so I let it die a dog's death. ^^
Same with some of the plot lines, as I said earlier (and I never hide it), I wanted to experiment and fire all around with a shotgun for plotlines and characters, wanting to explore and experiment, but as time went and the game developed I refocused the game and let some of the plotlines go on a garage track... But, I'll get my shovel and go dig their corpses for a few of them and giver them a little endings for the players that like to explore.
Yep, somewhere in prison, but the ending in question is the one paused at the end of chapter 2, and he will probably have a little appearance in the little specific ending in social work if the player check the choice (one of the zombie plotline I will revive for a little ending). ^^

Thank you, it's always nice to hear, I try my best to answer when I can and stay humble, no reasons to play the diva or asshole, when answering honestly can do the trick. ^^
The fact is simple, Project Myriam would have never reach this point without all its supporters, all these curious and perverts all over the internet. ^^
As always, I can only humbly thank you all for supporting this crazy idea, and can only hope that my next project will also found some curious and perverted souls to support it as well. ^^

If I made mistakes (especially in english) or if you have an idea for improvement, you're welcome.
Mate, I don't really know what you mean. Myriam's dad is a multimillionaire and My herself pretty sure has some millions. Prostitution in this context makes no sense. And yet Zorlun managed to put a full blown prostitution scene into this story. Same with porn. This is litterally one of the endings.
well, like ouch2020 already said she could play the part as a prostitute, much like the already existing scene. for example could that particular scenario be expanded, to get more information out of shady people by posing as prostitute and just so happen to actually work the part as well. or some character dear to Myriam could have money problems and got involved with loan sharks. while she could maybe pay for it (as an alternative way out), her friend might not want to bailed out as to not burden Myriam. so to not cross her friend she could get to a different deal with the loan shark and therefore prostituting herself.
i could go on, but believe me there are lots of angles you could go at it. to say there wouldn't be possible scenarios just because Myriam is rich, is just wrong.
regarding the porn career, a character tied ending cannot simply encompass the variety the genre provides. the way i suppose it goes is that she gets her first shoot, getting a feel for it and then having a second shoot to reaffirm her commitment. we probably won't delve much deeper into that career as it will be told in a "and then crystal and myriam lived happy ever after" kind of way, which i honestly would do too in Zorlun's shoes, because otherwise you have to put immense time and effort for crystal's ending alone. and if you do that you are expected to do similiar effort into all the other endings. that's just not feasible.
so regardless of how good crystal's ending will be (and i'm confident Zorlun will do a good job, like always), it cannot delve too much into the genre like i wish the game had done.
because here too there are lots of options to have had Myriam do porn earlier in the game. most notable example would be mr. silver making Myriam realize she could satiate her rampart sexual desires by using them artistically. that could have gotten into all kinds of directions and may only eventually lead to simple porn. for example she could have started with streaming or doing "onlyfans" kind of stuff.
you see there were always lots of scenarios that have not and most likely will not be explored within the scope of this game, before making it too bloated.
First off, I want to thank Zorlun for the game, Joker for his WT Mod, and ouch2020 for his I-Patch.
So what I made is a semi-merging patch of Joker's WT Mod and ouch2020's I-Patch. I manually compared and injected all the I-Patch dialogue over to the WT Mod and fixed a few typos I came across. (I have only done a limited amount of testing, so please tell me if I missed anything).
Why a semi-merge?
Well simply put, I am not a programmer. So there are a few chunks of code, and a couple of stat changes that I couldn't port over from the I-Patch myself, either Joker or someone else with the know-how will have to go in and port those things over themselves (to get it all working properly). With that said, if you want the 100% I-Patch experience, you will still have to play ouch2020's I-Patch like normal.
Saves.
This is pretty much the WT Mod (with the I-Patch dialogue injected into it), so any saves that work with Joker's WT Mod will more than likely work with my patch too.
Well, I think that's about it. Thank all of you for trying out my patch, and have fun.
Preview Scene - Ending Chapter - Safe
Here's the first preview for the coming update, following Myriam as she wakes up in the hospital after escaping (or being rescued) from the clutches of her kidnappers. Starting with a Myriam lost and confused, the scene quickly goes to an emotional reunion with Katherine and Evelyn, before going to a cinematic conclusion of the event via multiple ellipse closing up on Myriam's ordeal depending on how things went during the previous update.
A relatively short scene, with no naughty business, to finally conclude on the cliffhanger from the end of chapter 5, as well as leading the player on his first set of rails towards the endings he has unlocked depending on his choices during the game.
The scene will also potentially lead to one more 'bad ending' (like the Anthony one from chapter 2 and the no escape one from the previous update, both coming up soon, possibly this update), if Myriam end up with a terrible ratio of 'Sadness' and 'Happiness', and with not enough 'Willpower' to pull through as a second resort.
Also, schedule wise, the previous update having spilled over this month a tad too much, the coming update might be pushed back over next month, which would let me potentially work (as suggested up) on the two 'bad endings' already in waiting (the Anthony one, as well as the Sawyers Family one). Nothing set in stone for now, I'll keep people appraised as it goes as usual. ^^
