MP Development Update #33 [IMPORTANT]

Hey everyone


Midnight Paradise 0.12 is out and I'm pleased with the way it turned out.
Ms Jane's story was fun to make and Melissa's body was nice to work with while doing the animations for her. Of course the last scene with Joyce was something I think many people have been looking forward to.

Now let's talk about 0.13 and the end of 2020.

It's been a long and exhausting year for me, and I'm sure it was for everyone. This year is a mess, as you all know and I don't wanna waste any more words on this.
The point is, I'm tired. I don't think I have it in me to release another big update this year. I've been working on Midnight Paradise non-stop for 2 years now. So here's what I'm going to do:

I'm going to release the 0.13 update in November, which will be a small update - it's going to be an update where we go back and add the things that I always brushed to the side because other scenes were more important to finish.
As you might have seen, 0.12 didn't have the Booty Calls mechanic fleshed out, because I don't want it to be something meh, and to make it good I have to make a lot more animations.
So I'm going to add Booty Calls with multiple characters, so you'll have plenty of erotic content considering the size of the update.
I'm also going to finally get to more optional conversations with the characters.
Then, I wanna flesh out Connor and Logan's rivalry a bit more.

There is also some optimization to be done - mainly I've heard complaints that the more advanced erotic content comes too late in the game. I've designed the Ms Jane storyline with this in mind, meaning her content will be available much earlier in the game. This of course won't really affect if you've already played through the game, but it's important when looking at the final product. I'll also make more of the more advanced sexual content in a similar fashion, so the early game is filled with hotter encounters and to reflect Connor's womanizing nature.

I'm also thinking about a 'dressing room' kind of thing, where you get to see the girls try on their different outfits for Connor. Let me know what you think about it down below in the comments or on Discord.

And after 0.13 - I'm taking a break.

It probably won't be the kind of break you're thinking about, though.
I will be working still, but I'm taking a break from Midnight Paradise for a little while. In December, it's been a custom that a lot of the devs take a little break after a year of hard work. Which is understandable. I'm not going to release a new update in December.
I'll still release some Holiday themed renders like last year though.

There are things I've been meaning to work on in 2020, but I realized I just cannot do these things AND work on Midnight Paradise at the same time. So, I'm going to we working on something else in December - and I think you'll really like it.
You'll know what it is on March 12, 2021.
(I'm sure I'll have teaser about it before that)

Now, don't panic. I'm not abandoning MP and I'm not starting a new project.

There's just something I need to do before I can start working on MP again, and to be fair I think the break from MP will be greatly beneficial.

During this time I'll also be looking into some ways of providing more benefits to you guys who keep supporting this endeavor.

If all goes well, I'll be back working on MP sometime in January, maybe February.


Well, that was long post and that's a lot to take in. So I'm going to be doing a Q&A later this week, if there are any questions of course. Feel free to ask your questions in the comments below or submit them on Discord.


And as always, huge thanks for all your support!

can we get a walkthrough for MP? like an early version? im just wondering its cool if you dont want to or can't.

The dressing room sounds quite promising! I don't remember if any of the ladies is a fashionista but perhaps having one approach Connor with an idea that will help him get a leg up on Logan would work... So add the possibility of a female clothing line that Connor supports and is developed/gets marketing help from one of the ladies in his life. If it is his younger sister, she'll be proving that she is doing something positive with her life - career-wise, and she could have already had her idea rejected by Logan. When she goes to Connor and he gives her the support she was looking for, she could reward him with her full support against Logan to help him become the next head of the family business. It's just an idea as I think that having the sisters start to side openly with Connor because he supports them while Logan ignores their desire to contribute will help flame the rivalry.

It is a very important to have some rest ;)

dressing room is awesome idea . take your time and rest we can be patient or at least I can

Enjoy your time recharging.

Have a well earned rest! Thanks for putting so much work to the game Doc, I love it. We'll be waiting for your return <3.

Gattsu

definitely think it makes a lot more sense on both the dev and consumer end to up the erotic content ratio to workload. i'm pretty sure i'm not alone in thinking that the erotic content is really what makes an update feel big or small really. fully support this decision 👍

Dank Memer

All positive! Will probably even wait for 0.13 to get to play the "right version" of the update. ;)

Love the thought of the dressing room clothes try on. You've done such an amazing job providing us with updates and content we appreciate all the hard work and time you've put into MP! Thank you so much cant wait for next years content!

Utilizing the boutique would be a nice touch. I'd really like to see Isabel decked out with her hair out of that ponytail.

Dressing room sounds great. Glad to hear you're taking a break. I don't think any of us want you to get burnt out on this project. Hope you find some inspiration in the meantime. Thanks for all your hard work.

A break that's well and truly earned, thanks for the heads up. Rest easy and don't rush your self back into the grind.

EvilHateMonkey

Like the dressing room idea. Was wondering if the boutique would be used for anything moving forward. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the next update and will anxiously await the new content next year. As I said last time, a break is well deserved. Thanks for keeping us entertained all year 👍🏼

Eric

It will be a magnificent story, take your break Doctor, you deserve it. We'll be waiting for a great continuastion of the story eventually. All the girls are great and awesome and we will wait for their beautiful return.

You REALLY REALLY earned a HOLIDAY BREAK, MAN! Over the years you created nonstop such GREAT content. *thumb up* AND WE ALL LOVE girls in stockings and high heels by the way. :P <3 <3 <3

Tutenchamun23

You're a rockstar Sin! I look forward to seeing what a refreshed mind will bring us come march.

Mastro91

thank you for this game! a dressing room would be really nice to see joyce in stockings like Isabel! This would help a lot to make us patient for the next update in 2021 :-) i wish you all the best!

3 things. 1. You all have EARNED this break (seriously thanks for sooo much) 2. If waiting means better game I'll wait forever. And 3 again thank you for everything. Definitely the best porn game I've ever played no joke

TheOMan1000

with heels too please

Omega Rugal

You have earned and very well deserve the break from MP after this hectic year. As much as I love that project, I believe it will be best for it also if you work on something else for little time. That might give you some new ideas, or even twist the stroy to a different way than you have now planned it to go. Who knows. All I know, is I’ll be here watching very closely, what you are hiding in your sleeve as a surprise. And of course the 0.13 update. And of course those holiday renders. Aaand of course the return to the MP somewhere in 2021.

OJ

You don't have to be afraid of that :)

Lewdlab

I’m just afraid you’ll be turing into ICSTOR 😂

ET247

DoD2? 😳😳😳😳 take a break man you’ve earned it!

I think a dressing room mechanic would be nice.
