You won't believe it. Young Maria v2.0.0! Well, a look into the future
The game version remains the same
Hello, people! I finally returned to you after dealing with my exams. Free and happy, I started to work on the next update. But Plaze texted me a few days ago, revealing my little dark secret. And I can't hide from it anymore. Young Maria is ... not a good game. It can be much, much better. After two or three years, it became pretty obvious to everyone - YM needs a good rebuild session. So, why I mentioned some dark secret of mine? The thing is, I knew it a long time ago, but I was afraid of the amount of work. YM is a huge and poor-built game. But I can't hide from this task anymore! It needs to be done.
Before we dive into big plans, let me introduce a new writer - Ali! He wrote a new scene for the school playground, and I want to show it to you. Here's the "raw" version -You must be registered to see the links. 2.400 words - this scene is huge! Enjoy~
Well, let's get back to our ambitious goal. I created a document to keep tracking of my thoughts -You must be registered to see the links. Here's just a rough sketch... plan of everything - I don't want to waste precious time on describing details. But I need your help. Please tell me what you want to see in the game and - what is much more important - what do you want me to change or remove completely. You can always contact me via email (MilkyNailMail@gmail.com) or Discord (MilkyNail (MariaMod)#1179).
I ordered a few pictures and pieces of music two days ago. And I already get two songs and a sketch of the main poster. If everything goes according to the plan, it will take a couple of months to finish this project. Anyway, I'll be collecting feedback from you for a few days, and then I begin to work.
I appreciate your support, and I hope you like this change. If you don't - write to me and tell me why! Don't forget to put lemon in your tea and see you in two weeks:3
I already gave you feedback and you ignored it. Also, you spent years working on this to finally realize that it wasn't fun. Did you just milk your players for 2+ years and did nothing to improve your game? Did you not talk to someone that actually knows how to design the mechanical systems of the game like actual RPG mechanics? I'm sure you could have found someone that can design the mechanics of your game to be an enjoyable process. This is coming from a person that does design RPGs and world building for over 2 decades.You won't believe it. Young Maria v2.0.0! Well, a look into the future

Have you been busy at home for too long and it's after 09:00?Why can I only go to school on the first day of the game, and the option to go to school the next day doesn't appear
Sure, just download Twine2. It's very simple and a lot of fun. Just don't do public modding. It's a sin.Is there a way to edit the files so that it's not so vanilla-goody-two-shoes? Like changing the step-family back to just regular family for example.
I still find this unbalanced.Young Maria v2.0.0.0a! A new clothes system you can try!

Please read the warning on the very first page!
Hello, boys and girls! Today you'll see the very early version of a new Young Maria, and I'm really happy that I'm able to show you something You won't be able to see many changes, and a vast amount of (temporarily?) removed content will terrify you, but.. I want you to see what I achieved. Let me bring a small list of changes:
The current version of YM is definitely not playable, and I want you to check out just one thing - clothes. So, thank you for understanding Don't use old saves. Just go to Lexena Market, where I left some temporary built-in cheat links. Then go to the wardrobe and experiment with some cheat links there. I hope you'll like the changes:3
- Some of the body slots were removed, some turned into new ones, and some added. You'll be able to see it in the game
- Erotic accessories were replaced with piercings
- You can see semen stains on the body now. I decided to leave five "cum slots": face, body (breasts), groin, in vagina, and in anus. Yes, now you can see creampies! (Spoiler, you can hide them by wearing pants/shorts)
- You'll meet new requirements for buying stuff in shops: you must have enough corruption or intellect points to buy lewd or smart-looking clothes. I'll develop this new stat later
- In shops and the wardrobe, you'll be able to look at clothes on a mannequin now. It copies your character's eyes and hair, but not breasts size
See you in a couple of weeks. Don't get cold<3
Come on, all numbers were made up in two minutes. It's totally not balanced yetI still find this unbalanced.
For example, I start at 19 and can't put on a proper work outfit because the skirt requires Corruption, but the blouse requires High Intellect, which you didn't get at the start.
Or the evening dress requires a 10/10, but matching shoes require a 0/30.
If there are situations in the game, which exclude the receipt of corruption and intellect against each other, an 80/80 will probably be impossible to achieve.
Just as a simple necklace with 30 has a higher requirement than a necklace with 10, albeit of a different attribute.
As things stand, the clothing system would be a no go for me and still requires a lot of thought.
That's why I wrote it in the thread and not as a review, so it counts as a note.Come on, all numbers were made up in two minutes. It's totally not balanced yet
I wait until it runs round, thanks for the update ^^Young Maria v2.0.0.0b! A new food system! And I finished the boring part~

Please read the warning on the very first page of the game!
Hello, everybody! First of all, I congratulate you on the end of the boring part. Clothes and food systems were two the biggest and toughest parts I finally finished. Now comes more juicy content like school and family stuff...
The second thing I want to tell you is a big thank you to everyone who gave me material and advice this month. I store everything I can on Desktop, and this pile of docs is getting bigger every week! Special thanks to Charlotte and Mrs. Kisoc
Now, back to the progress I made. After a quick depression session, I somewhat finished the "mainChar" stats, then changed "HaveASexWidget", created a new utility widget "RealTimer" and so on. I also added placeholders for Hospital and Cafe - two new locations.
I'll be quick about food. This system is goddamn huge, and you do want to check out the help link I left in the Kitchen -> Cooking. This is your workspace, yep. You can gather growing ingredients and condiments at the house Garden, in Park, on the Beach, on the Farm, or buy everything in Lexena Market. Then go to Kitchen -> Cooking and cook something. Add condiments to make it better. Every food will give you a temporary stats boost or some Energy.
P.S.: So many people asked me, and now you have it. Home-made beer!
Okie, now it's time to rest. I'm so damn proud of myself.. See you people in two weeks. Love you all.
(Stay home, remember?)
