0.9 Revised Dates, Information, Announcements.

Greetings peepo!

Before anything else, let's get the most important stuff out the way!

___________________________________________________________________________

The revised 0.9 release date for First Tier will be on the 16th FEB this month. 

1st Tier- HK/WM

2nd Tier - DEV/ANOM/REB

3rd Tier - CITIZEN

I will adjust the dates for the next tiers as it goes (Give or take one week between tiers) but EVERY PATRON will receive this month (FEB).

__________________________________________________________________________

Alrighty guys. Massive apologies but we are here. I know how you guys feel but the worst is almost over. 

I know many of you been eagerly awaiting more info but I've been wanting to wait till the season is finally completed before posting more details as many things are difficult to say and I wanted you guys to play it first before expanding on it. 

Believe me, there are a gazillion things I want to talk about. So many things but it's best I keep things concise for the moment. Some of you may have chatted with me on discord and have some updates but for those who are solely on patron, here is some information! 

___________________________________

As you guys already know, I've always dreamed of creating a sandbox trainer game with lots of exploration, mechanics, puzzle solving and dynamic free control lewd scenes. But I am working on the game alone. It is also my first game and many details weren't hashed out at the beginning with me learning a lot as we go. 

Many things that I want to accomplish simply isn't feasible for a monthly patreon system where people need to push for updates. It is also not efficient as it is crazy amount of work for little reward. You are really much much better off with a more simplistic game where you can release an episode every month or two with a straightforward storyline. 

That's not to say season 2 is a slouch. I've done a lot of planning work the past few months to map out the exact mechanics that I want to include. There is so much involved! Including being able to build more complex lewd scenes for each repeatable events, adding items, clothes as well as you level up each character in the game. Don't forget detective and case solving mechanics as well. 

If I elaborate, it will take a long time. But the best way to describe it is what I've mentioned on discord. For a game like this, it's not enough just to make an update, for every mechanic you need to plan every detail up to the end of the game. Even though you may make actual content (Writing, images, animations) for one episode, every mechanic needs to be organised and plannned till the end game. Does that make sense? And of course planning doesn't just mean writing on a piece of paper. It involves actually building the code and being able to track what you want to do. 

Anyway, I could go into so much detail but it really is counter productive at the moment and it's very hard to tell you guys without you actually playing it. Many of the new season mechanics is already in 0.9! (Because they include new locations that will appear in the next season) I will elaborate more when you guys play it, it's easier to give you more details then.

_____________________________________________

I am really sorry for constantly revising the dates but I'm under immense pressure. There are so many many things that I need to work on behind the scenes that are impossible to describe. 

However, I wanna address a few things. Firstly, I KNOW how angry, worried and impatient you guys are feeling. Trust me, I know. 

Constantly having to revise dates and having angry people everywhere is not an ideal situation. It's a big reason why I am changing everything and making a season 2 in the first place. 

I really wish I can tell you "WHY" there's a delay, what is the issue, what are you working on? These are not easy questions to write in a post! Even to describe it to another developer online is difficult in itself (Big reason why it's difficult to form a coding team fully online. The amount of time it takes to communicate is already a waste of time. It's a different story if you can work face to face.) Imagine trying to explain to a group of non-developers.

Many people have insulted me for writing long "thesis" posts but I truly don't know how else to describe to you what I'm working on. It is  impossible to go into detail and describe the development process of each and every issue. I can only try to speak in general terms.

All I can say is trust the process, I am really trying the best I can. There is so much I've worked on and so many things I'm truly excited about that is coming in the game. Sometimes, if you don't get an update, it doesn't mean I am abandoning the game. Some of you may have fantasies of how I'm somehow running away or trying to scam you guys. That can't be further away from the truth. 

Just to give you a brief idea without writing too much, here are some images I've shared on discord. 

These are all animations just for one arc that's not even filled. Now of course this is just initial patch and not all of them can make their way into the game, but in these images alone you can count more than 200 animations. Even if half make it in the game, that is 100 animations guys. How long do you think it takes to make one 10 second animation, have a guess? Even if you reuse some poses and only change facial expressions and animating a few limbs how long do you feel it will take? An hour? Two? 

In the last 2-3 months alone I have churned out more than 400 animations already. These are animations alone! Let's not even talk about images, writing, coding. Even designing buttons alone is enough to kill you. So have faith guys, I show you some images because I want you guys to just calm down and see I'm running as fast as I can behind the scenes. 

There are people calling me nasty names, accusing me of trying to milk money without putting in effort, insulting the mini games I make. They demand and demand and if the content is not what they want, they will do all sorts of things to get you to go their way.  

There are games who make only 10 animations per update guys. Ten.

Please understand the sheer amount of work I'm putting in to make this game. 

I have sacrificed a lot to make this game into what I dream it to be. It truly is a passion thing. If I merely wanted to grow patrons, believe me, I wouldn't do it this way. 

We have given up on a lot of growth opportunities. If I release an update with 10-15 animations every 1-2 months we would grow immensely quicker. But I really care for the game, more than any of you guys who are here for a few months. Many things I change and change again, plan and rework again. 

Sometimes, if you don't see an update from me for a while, just chill. Sometimes, I don't want to waste a few hours to write a patron post that simply can't go into detail. It's better if I don't say anything at all as no matter what you say, you can't satisfy everyone. It's better if I just work on the game and release it when it's ready. 

Remember, from your perspective, I am only talking to you. You can spend hours asking, debating, arguing, it's just one person for you. But for me, I am doing the same for thousands of people. Even if you don't agree with my point, or you don't understand a point, I cannot respond to you all the time. Don't force, don't hurl insults all the time, just relax. It is truly counter productive. 

Even having to argue, talk, explain the same thing over and over again with just 10 different trolls online is extremely tiring, draining and pointless. Even just answering a simple "Hang on, the update is coming, give it one more week!" I have to repeat it to multiple people. This game has been downloaded a gazillion times. There are tens and thousands of players, with each and everyone wanting an answer.  So when I say "The update is coming soon", please understand that THE UPDATE IS COMING SOON! I can't go into too much detail! 

Sometimes I feel really pressured and announce a date just so that people shut up. But if I miss an announcement, I have a huge price to pay as more people would get very angry. Not everyone is a mega fan and not everyone read every post I make on patron/discord. Sometimes they just see a missed announcement and get angry. 

So please be patient if I don't reply on discord/patron or I disappear for a while. I hope you guys understand. 

Sometimes when you get angry and start insulting, demanding I talk and explain to you, (even many players who play the game for free! In fact those are the ones that are noisiest) It's very draining and demotivating. If you don't like a part of the game, just make a suggestion. There is no need to force or insult or try to have things your way. Just know that I hear you! And I'm constantly trying to add things that people will like or change things that are not working well. 

Sometimes I can only respond with "Hang on it's coming!" or "I will try to implement this". There are also many of you who take time to encourage me and write nice things in messages. I want you all to know I am so grateful and it inspires me. But even to those messages, sometimes I can only respond with a quick "thanks", but know that I appreciate it.

SO HANG ON GUYS! IT'S COMING!

I am also working on releasing 1.0 to first tiers by end of this month as best I can so that we can have a buffer. I really want to resolve this whole update issue thing by season 2. There is a lot of work to be done. 

So much I want to show you guys! So many exciting content, and stuff to look forward to. Once season 2 is here, we will start having an update every 1-2 months. It's time to focus on growing the game. So be patient! 

See you guys in a week when 0.9 is out, we can discuss a little more once people have played it. 

Thanks guys! 

Moolah Milk.
