Hey everyone

As promised, a set of preview images are here from the upcoming 0.17 release of Midnight Paradise.

If you have been wondering why I haven't posted for a long time, it is because of the mean spirited comments.

For those people, let me just say this: You don't know how long it takes to make a game, even if it's a simple one like mine. You have no idea how much work goes into this. I haven't been slacking off. Everyone on the team works hard to put out this huge update. Posting updates and getting comments like that makes me not want to post updates.

Now, about the release, we are over the 2 000 renders mark, over 130 animations, and (as you can see from the previews) Ruby's storyline will progress significantly as promised, not just the sandbox stuff.This is where her routes will fork, based on your actions and choices with her throughout the game.I tried to make both routes equally hot. I think I managed to do that.

This is the last set of previews before the release. 50 preview images altogether for 0.17, All different scenes. And of course there is stuff I haven't shown here.

Well, I'll see if I'll have some time tomorrow to make a render for New Year's Eve, but if not, well, I hope you'll have a Happy New Year!

Looking forward to see Ruby‘s storyline advanced… I think, everybody would love to see her completely corrupted and broken while keeping her rebellious attitude…

Corwin Amber

Thank you very much for all the work you and your team are putting into this. Looking forward to playing :)

Dude you do great work and I enjoy playing your games. Thank you

kqmaverick

Ignore the haters, take the time you need to make a great game.

Don't listen to the mean voices! Making games like this, like yoi said, takes more time than people realize. My tip to everyone is to just make themselves busy. While developers work. There's always something to do :) Amazing work on all your projects so far Dr. Sin! I especially enjoy Dreams of Desire!

Lobster29

Thank you, Dr Sin! Keep up the good work, and wishing you and the team a Happy New Year!

IowaDJ

Thank you. Truly enjoy the game you are making. Have a great NYE.

Albert Nieuwenhuis

Don't mind the nasty comments. Just enjoy the nice ones. Gives you much more energy. Have a nice newyears eve.

It has been like a year or more since the last update hasn't it? Also people are paying for this so it's no surprise some are annoyed or frustrated after no content for so long but I agree the spiteful comments are unnecessary. I personally am hoping the update is a very significant size and feel satisfied once completed. I think the last update was quite short if I remember correctly and after waiting a year I want to feel the wait was worth it! :)

Connor Cook

Don’t blame you for not wanting to post given the negativity ppl respond with. But thank you for the update. Looking forward to it

Well... the thing is that you are working on it since last year....even if it is a complete overhaul, in one year you can make a full game, instead we are moving from 0.16 to 0.17.

Please Dr. Sin, just keep up the amazing work you're doing and ignore the haters! They aren't real fans. Real fans stick with you and support you. Some with a subscription, others in kind spirit. Like you said, they don't know how much work it is to produce such good quality! I myself have been tinkering with RPG Maker MZ, and realized just recently that I have been working on my hobby project for over a year already. And really looking forward to the next build. So we can witness the amazing work you've produced! And have a happy new year!!

It is a shame that these "mean spirited" comments hurt you so. While I respect your work, as a developer you should understand the opposite view of the end users - they spend real money for updates and given that its been a year...you are bound to get some negative feedback. Do you feel people should just give you money and expect nothing in return (game-wise, not some screenshots)? It shouldn't take a year between updates.

lewdlab

Your argument would make sense if I was releasing a normal sized update over such a long time, but this one has enough content for 8 or more updates. (sizes that I used to put out) I really could have just chopped it up into that many updates, and just force everyone to restart from scratch a bunch of times. Same amount of content released but in smaller parts more frequently earns more patrons, therefore more money. But that would (I assume) frustrate people a lot. I know I would hate to replay a game from start every 1-2 months.

ShaggyScooby

I appreciate that you've taken the time to reply to my post. I am sure that the update will be worth the wait. I am not discounting your work - you make a great game. In my opinion, others may or may not share it, it feels like we have to patronize you for a year at a time and only received one update in that time. So we'll need to re-patronize if our membership expires to get new content/updates. If only one update per year is the release cycle, then please let us know so we have that expectation. When I first started patronizing you, there were updates every few months...all that changed with this last update or so it seems.

Tictactic

I have been following your project for some time, and in my opinion, it is already of quality that could compete with some of the most successful AVNs on the Steam marketplace or otherwise. The render quality is excellent and the story is above par. I wouldn't tell you to ignore all feedback, but certainly don't let negativity kill any motivation. I will continue to support this project.

Mikael K

Quality takes time! Keep up the amazing work you´re doing! Have an awsome 2023!

Ezrah

I understand not wanting to deal with the toxic comments, but you have a literal business obligation to keep your patrons updated. Going almost 60+ days without any information is going to rile up a lot of people, especially when you have the tiers at the prices you have, and the level of income you have. At this point, the patrons have provided ample amount of funds to expect something more than once a year.

JBNYC

Thanks for the update Dr. Sin. Much appreciated. Also, don't pay attention to the negative riff raff. It's a waste of your good energy. Your adult games are fun, sexy and awesome, and many People like your adult novel games. So if you need to take extra time to complete your game updates, by all means please do so. Either way, keep up the good works! You have our support! Happy New Year and Cheers! - JB NYC -

Yeah but, update them on progress, yeah? Not just ghost them and make them wonder if you're still an active developer. People make promises all the time then disappear. That's something that happens. People aren't asking you to develop quicker, they're asking you to update more frequently so they can see the progress with their own eyes. Edit: This isn't a new concept. Many developers do it and you failed for a very long time to do it. I actually unsubbed from your patreon because I thought you were inactive. Update your patreon subscribers.

lewdlab

It's sad that by what you're saying the industry is in a state where people don't say "I'm still working" every so often people think they don't work:) And if you actually read the post you'd know why the update posts stopped. I'll just work in peace. By the way, joining my discord server is free and you can see I'm online there and I answer every question directed at me that's not about release dates.
