Hey everyone! I decided to make this progress sheet thing to show what's left to be done. I split the chapter up into chunks at the top with categories to the left of what needs to be done before the release. Red= Barely worked on. Yellow = A decent chunk of work completed. Green = Completed.I know many boxes look red, but these boxes are not made equal! Completing the art for a section can take months, but doing the sound can take < a day.I just thought I'd give you something visual that I can fill in over time. I hope to get the update ready for late June but these things are hard to estimate so it could spill over into July. I will make a post when the update is out if you want to pause your pledge until it's ready.I also don't really know how much sound stuff I'll need to commission, but I'm working on that now alongside the posing stuff.I really appreciate your patience and support, thank you! <3

Take your time man we ain't in a rush bro

Fabi

What is meant with posing?

Chozo

no rush. your work is worth it 😁

Videira

I can wait one or two months, actually, I'm realizing that I've been waiting and expectating more than actually enjoying things, for example: recently I got my annual half-life 3 cope because of the recent rumors of a possible announcement and release in 2025, now I'm creating a illusory hype about it just to, you know, disapoint myself. So to make things fun to me, I'm betting that MPP v0.9 releases before a HL3 announcement, if it happens, I'll be happy, if the opposite happens, I'll be happy too, win-win!

Its my birthay !!

Can I ask how the writing and coding factor into your timeline? Is it time consuming or more incidental to the visual progress? Does it all have to be done bespoke for each chapter or do you just have to expand an existing framework?

Yulior Diaz

Don't worry bro just take ur time

Coffee

Hey i got a question how many chapters are you planning?

LoonAtLarge

I love developers who give transparent updates

Jolly Green Giant

Thank you for being transparent. If I have to wait until july, then so be it.

Dude I can't believe I didn't include a " writing " category for the this lmao. I will definitely add one in at the end of the month. The writing would be all green except for two of the squares which would be yellow. The writing is generally not super time consuming, because so much of it is thought up during the art process, and when I'm organizing the pacing and art files etc I've got such a solid skeleton to work with that the writing tends to fall into place fairly easily ( Since it's already been toiling in my head for months as I made all the art ) It's not that it doesnt take any time, but it generally doesn't feel like a wall I need to push through the same way the other things do. It happens more organically throughout. That goes for the SFW writing...much of the NSFW writing is more annoying though because it's a lot of " do it more, peen feels good " filler in different ways to make the scenes last longer. The coding is basically the " posing " and " polish " categories. Making a game in this style in Renpy almost requires 0 code unless you do custom UI stuff or minigames. ( And I outsource that because I don't know how to code complex stuff. ) So the coding that takes time is making sure the expressions, sounds, dialogue boxes etc all flow well. It's some fairly creative work and I always find myself drawing new little expressions etc as I go through it. Some VNs do almost 0 posing... their main character has like 3 variations for dialogue scenes. The queen is basically posed for Ch9 and she's got >15 bodies and >30 face variation files just for dialogue scenes. I think outsourcing the posing is the biggest thing I could do to cut development time, but I just know it would end up worse, since when I do it myself I draw so many new faces etc to make it flow just the way I want. Ch9 in particular has a lot of polish in that regard. IDK if I answered your question I sort of went on a long ramble. The writing for future chapters is nonexistent basically, but there are outlines like " I meet back up with ___ and we have a tickle contest where I win " kinda thing.

CyanCapsule

posing is the " animation " happening in the game. My game doesn't have actual animation, but the characters change their poses and expressions regularly, and during sex scenes you have things like the dick moving in-out etc as well as cumshot things going on as the scene progresses. This is the "posing " and it is incredibly time consuming. I think a lot of the posing workload sort of goes by unnoticed by the player, because it feels natural. But this is a challenge to achieve. The goal is to not bore the player too much with endless dialogue boxes where nothing happens visually, so I spend a lot of time drawing unique things in the dialogue scenes. ( A good example of this is when you eat ice cream with Billy and Bronwen. She bites the icecream and flicks it away, and there's a moment where Billy reacts to your drink and the player bites into his ice-cream. These things are all shown with visuals, while in many VNs you'd just have 1 or 2 expression changes and endless descriptive dialogue boxes. )

Bro I unfortunately think the entirety of MPP will be released before HL3 ;O; But I could be wrong! Holding my thumbs!

CyanCapsule

Happy birthday, dood!!! Mine is in 2 weeks-ish!

CyanCapsule

Hey! The LOOSE outline has the game at 15 chapters. I think it is likely it'll end up at one or two more. But the overall game is just over >50% complete I'd say.

Videira

NO! HL3 IS REAL! I BELIEVE!!!

Coffee

thanks for the answer. The game is great

Fabi

Ohh that. Thanks. Is there also a way to "wish" for a scene? Or make a suggestion? Because I can't get the first meeting with Maple out of my head and how "drunk" she was by thr scent. And wish it would have gone further

Hastur Lovecraft

I'd rather you take your time and we get a decent product than you rush and we're left disappointed. Are you doing this entire project by yourself?

Zixil

Waiting for updates from you will never feel tedious as I feel it is very well worth the wait when you eventually get to see what Cyan has been showing us as well the things he hasn't shown us!

Alejo

Calm down, master, I'll wait seated with my wine.

CyanCapsule

It's just me but i'm getting some music and code commissioned since it's out of my skillset and would take too much time figuring out.

Shady

Great job

CyanCapsule

Suggestions are absolutely good but will likely not land in the game unless I really like them.

LizzyWizzy

keep up the good work man i cant wait!

R1lab47

Genuinely can’t wait🔥

Is AI voice planned?

FKN_ Ralphie

Just take your time, this masterpiece is coming nicely.

CyanCapsule

I don't plan to add any AI stuff to the game. It would sort of muddy the integrity of the project IMO. I'm 100% set on not using any AI art in MPP, and it feels like adding ai music or voices muddies the waters. I would also feel hypocritical to be critical of AI visual art only to screw voice actors over by automating them away. That said doing regular full voice acting for the entire project seems unfeasible so it would surely be convenient to do, but I don't think I'll wanna do it. In 5 years when every single renpy game uses full AI animation and voice acting and crazy stuff who knows though. But at that point people will already make unofficial mods for it lmao.

bigboy23

Will there ever be a scene with both the queen and princess? x

CyanCapsule

I don't think there will ever be incest in the game. I MIGHT add something lewd with the queen at some point though but there isn't a guarantee.

SparK!

plz when update?

Zixil

I'm personally hoping to fight god at the end of the final chapter. this is obviously a joke! XD

Marco Capodieci

Take your time, the new chapter isn't out yet and i'm already waiting for the comeback of bronwen. This game design is very good. Keep going!

Lord korosu

As much as I want you to take your time , I also want you to hurry th up your dam game is so addictive and I wish it will never reach an end , I want the lore to be so long no matter how much it's gonna cost you , Im gonna pay atp , we have a deal.

CyanCapsule

I made a post about it now! the chapter will hopefully come out late june.

SparK!

Keep it up!
