I bring you good tidings! The second release candidate (RC2) is here. Finally, we're script-complete...! Re:maid is now clocking in just a couple of hundred words short of 110K words! A number which is pretty damn crazy when you consider that we were around 50K around a month ago, when we were first intending to release the game. So just to make it clear, the biggest reason for the delays is Taxcup continuously adding stuff. Oi, oi, Taxcup! Eyes on the prize..! 

$5 patch, $10 patch, FAQ.


"Script-complete" here just means just that, that the script is complete, all endings and routes etc. are finished and there are no "WIP" placeholder dialogues any longer, though there will still be various stuff that needs a little polish. 


That said, we've been banging at our keyboards all night to get this out, but we haven't been very thorough in the bug-testing. And with lots of new writing, comes new bugs... so... sorry guys for continuously relying on you for this, but...  BUG / TYPO REPORTS ARE STILL SUPER WELCOME! Make sure you give us the last line before the bug though, as always. Press "R" to bring up the log. Minor suggestions for changes etc. are also still very welcome. So, if you're itching to get to it, just jump in! But we'll upload a 2.1 within the next 24 hours with reported bugs etc. fixed, so if you're patient, wait just a little longer (I know I've been repeating this line a couple of times, but this time, it's relatively more true than the previous times!). 


So what else is new? There's at least 5 new CG's, some of which are completely new, others which just didn't display properly previously (2 H, 3 non-H). There's a beautiful credit roll, a bugged out placeholder gallery (Tsubaki-kun says he's going to rebuild the gallery system from the ground up, but needs a little more time), a revamped cheat system... We've also changed/added a couple of background graphics (Nishi's and Erika's rooms) and also songs - Hana's theme is new, though nobody had actually complained about the previous one. I think that the new one fits her personality a lot better, though. The intro song, which was apparently not very popular, has also been replaced. Let us know what you think of these changes..!


The walkthrough is coming as well, either during or after the weekend.


In other news - Taxcup has opened up a Marble Syrup subreddit. The idea is to move all "tech support" there entirely, eventually, but also give our fans a better forum to discuss our games. Patreon's commenting system is a bit of a mess, with comments randomly disappearing or being posted twice. The notification system is a bit wonky as well, which has lead us to miss a few posts in the past.


The reddit is set to "private", meaning you have to apply to get access. This is just to give us a modicum of privacy - we'll actually be letting in everybody who applies, without checking whether they're active patrons or not. Just click the link, press the "MESSAGE THE MODERATORS" button and fill in the message title and body with "let me in" and we'll add you whenever we remember too. 


We've also set up a Twitter account - there won't be much exclusive stuff over there, but you know, occasionally we might post stuff we don't really want to spam you guys with, like this screenshot of a lovely little bug.

Nice work! Couple of things: a) There's a bug where if you invite Erika to the hanami but don't invite her hiking she'll show up that Sunday anyways and b) Is this fuckin' Mumford & Sons in Hana's epilogue?

MylarMint

Also, Hana's name is showing up as "Nishi" in her epilogue.

If Taxcup wants to keep adding stuff, I have no problem with that. Even less of a problem if Tsubaki-kun wants to keep adding some stuff. :)

The final Hana CG is still buggy with regards to eyes, etc, and especially if you pick the....ahem...."bumhole" method of doing it. If you pick that option and then the "Keep on going" option, the sexy times continue infinitely. I'm not sure anyone could last that long.

Found a WIP: I am playing the cousin cheat then after you meet Hikari (took this from the log, I guess its backwards) Girls? Well, there are girls in this world, you see. —————————————————— WIP!! —————————————————— It takes me a minute or two but I finally realize where my next class is. I hurry my ass over there.

At the point Hana says: Come on, Nishi! Put it in already during the hana ending her eyes are gone for a few lines.

I got a bug at the best posible line right :P. Also gallery has allot of eyes on peoples body's like that "lovely little bug" :P

Gurn

There are a lot of places in the Hana endgame where the speaker is wrong. For example, all the lines around "Nishi: "What would you do with yourself, without me teaching you the ropes?" A lot of those lines are delivered by Hana.

I get the feeling it would be funny to have the beach scene Bj CG from Erika/Eiko being put in for the dream sequence and if you get to that scene in the Erika/Eiko's ending Nishi should express Dejavu at the context

While hiking with Hana (but not Erika), after the line, "Hana: "Oh, no. Well, I guess we've known each other for longer than most people around here though - we had the first lecture of the week together." Hana's sprite moves to the far left side of the screen, left of Kenji. It doesn't seem intentional.

Got to say I'm really impressed with how far this game has come since the original edition.

Possibly found a bug (though it may just be with my system, who knows). After launching the 2.1 Flash App, (labled Remaid), nothing appears to happen. Checked in my Processes in Task Manager and there are multiple processes (4 in total) for "remaid.exe", all taking 116 K Memory, but doing little else. I'm not able to end the processes. It's worth noting that this has happened once before with one of the versions of Crusoe, but was fixed when the next version was released.

Words can not express how much the new scenes rekindled my interest. I thought it was as good as it got last week from RC 1.0 but this new stuff. Good shizz. Keep working hard guys

Blue

2.1: In a hilarious turn of events, if Hana never introduces herself at the start of the game because you tell her you don't need help, her name in dialogue (but not the yellow name text) remains, "that girl who talked to me" for the remainder of the game, including all through Erika's ending if you choose that path. When she bumps into Nishi in the hall on day 3, she says, "Hana: "Hey, I'm just kidding. I'm that girl who talked to me, by the way. Nice to meet you." I assume that immediately before this point the variable for her name in dialogue is supposed to be set to "Hana". I know this is a bug, but it cracked me up for a playthrough. :)

Still on RC2.0 at the time of this post; gonna download the new 2.1 right after I post this... I blew through the game to get the Erika Ending, because I wanted to see if an image had been added of Hana masturbating when Erika gave Nishi the blowjob on the beach (seeing a girl pleasure herself is really hot; it's just one of my things). Because of this plan, I kinda blew off Hana all through the game. I chose "I'm fine" at my first meeting with her, then didn't go to dinner with her on Day 3. When I reached my intended ending, Hana's name was constantly being replaced in dialogue with "that girl who talked to me". Nishi: "I agree, that girl who talked to me. You don't need glasses. Not if you're using contacts. Which is why I really don't get why you don't just buy contacts..." —————————————————— Hana: "It's fine! And who needs glasses?" —————————————————— Erika: "Though seriously that girl who talked to me, I really don't think you should be drinking..? If you're the one who's going to get us home? I mean, it's scary enough since you're not wearing your glasses." I mean, by the time she's masturbating to the sight of Nishi getting a blowjob, shouldn't he be using her proper name? LOL

Just read Russell's post below. Seems like I'm not the first to notice this bug. :)

I have had that exact same issue. I usually reboot my system when that happens, though that's not a guaranteed fix.

Not trying to delay the final release too much, but how likely is it that y'all might add my aforementioned visual of Hana masturbating during the beach blowjob?

marblesyrup

In the current version, the chance is 0%, sorry. Not adding any more CG's at this stage unless we get a backer at the $400 level asking for it. That said, even if we don't end up doing the full "Re:Maid Plus" that we're discussing in the commentary, we might go back and add a couple more CG's if there's enough demand for it, but that wouldn't happen until March, at the absolutely earliest.

just became a patreon how do i get the passwords?

2.2: When going on the hike and never having told Hana about Erika or had them meet previously, the line, "Hana: "I'm… I'm Nishi's cousin, actually. But I guess he hasn't mentioned that now has he?" appears even without any cheats active.

Blue

2.2: When hiking with just Hana, after the 2nd "boyfriend compatibility" question she asks, if you respond with "Nothing", her outfit changes from the hot pink hiking vest back to her peach blazer and turtleneck after the line, "Nishi: "Uh… if that's a positive thing, sure, I am!" It remains that way until the next background transition and the line, "While Kenji said it would take a long time to get down the mountain, it's at least fairly effortless and it doesn't feel like a struggle until we've reached the foot of the mountain."

RC 2.2 - Cousin, sister and bitcoin active. "HIKARI: "Huh? Didn't you get my message? I LINE:d you." - Hikari is eyeless.

As far as dating games go I have really enjoyed this. i love the story line and all the CG's. My one disappointment is how you tease us with an option to talk and sit with Aina and we can go nowhere with her. Alas that is a minimal thing to get worked up about. I love the game and you have proven why I love and support your games ^_^

Nice new room designs, and all the other changes continue to make this game even better. Just loving this! Script/graphic: Eiko has some blue outlining at the inside border of the area enclosed by her necklace and neck-line and underneath her pant-legs in the full front view (meaning she’s facing the player completely) of the sister version, as has Hikari between the hand sneaking into view from behind her back and her outstretched arm in the cousin one. The maid outfit has the same colouring in the sister version as it has in the normal version, but the text still calls it baby blue. It’s the same “I get all fluttery…” after school on day five if Nishi gotfreebieblowjob in the sister version as it is in the normal version as well. That seems a bit odd. I mean, judging by how torn he felt earlier one would think he’d be glad at the possibility of her not remembering a thing…only to feel an unexpected pang of disappointment when she really doesn’t remember. The morning of the Hanami (day 6) is off-stricking in a similar way. Also, Nishi calls Eiko his “beautiful girlfriend” in front of Hana on the beach of the Eiko ending even though it was mentioned before Hana knows nothing about them. Typos: On day five if the player chooses to knock on Erika’s door the line says “I her Erika’s voice…” (one a missing). And at day seven with the Erika sex scene underway and the sister cheat active there’s no space between “my” and “sister” at “I can’t believe this…” Suggestions: Well…it’s possible to go through the entire game without having more than three conversations with Hana – but if the player doesn’t go hiking there’s always the choice to text or call her. In case the two of them talked only these three times…well, how did Nishi get Hana’s number? Unless it was public (because she’s the class representative or something) this would shine a kinda creepy light on Nishi… Out of curiosity and a moment of sloth: Does it ALWAYS end with "Alone4ever" if Hana and Erika both come to the hiking and you haven't fulfilled the qualifications for the Yuri ending?

Some of the pictures have disappeared for the restaurant scene with hanna between rc 2.2 and rc 2.3

For the "Out of curiosity", it seem so... I'm still looking for Kenji ending... Gaaah... I can't ever find it :P Did you ever get to it?
