V0.05 Links Sent Out!
Added 2016-09-22 02:18:21 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Links have been sent out for V0.05! If you sent your pledge to me in some way other than Patreon then please give me a little while to get your link to you (I have to do it manually).
Apologies for any delays in getting back to people, but if you've sent me a message or email in the last 24-36 hours please give me a day or so to respond!
Here are just a few important reminders / warnings about this release since I
know people will ask about them :D
- Saves from V0.04 are not compatible due to the extensive map engine overhaul. We have however included a save file with the game that will start you off after the Fleshfather battle!
- Artwork PDF rewards will be sent separately and should be sent out within the next week.
- Fleshpod and Vioreaper H artwork for Neon’s new armor will likely be finished for the addendum release next month.
- Animations for doors in the new areas aren’t in place yet.
- Since Neon’s new armor type likely won’t be available this early in the final game, there’s at least one story scene where she’ll appear in her original armor even if wearing the new one.
Now, for some additional changes that have made it in since the previous change log for V0.05 was posted (which you can see here):
- Improved the loot screen UI
- Improved the layout of the Save/Load screen
- Added mechanics for learning skills from devices called ‘Glyphs’.
- Malise now starts with full HP/SP
- Fixed a continuity error. Neon will now have high lust/broken armor
after the Fleshfather scene.
As always, thank you very much for your support! We couldn't do this without you!
- Eromancer
System Requirements
If you haven't played the previous releases of MATM, then PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!
Malise and the Machine utilizes the RPG Maker VX Ace engine. To play, you must install the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP (run time package), which you can download and install for free from http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages (click the blue button at the bottom of the page to download).
It's highly recommended that the first time you start the game you make a critical adjustment to the RPG Maker VX Ace settings to vastly improve performance of the game. To do this, press F1 after launching the game, then in the window that appears uncheck 'Reduce Screen Flickering', and then select OK.
Additional tips for improving performance if you find the game runs slow for you:
· Play in windowed mode! RPG Maker's full screen mode is very inefficient, and we plan on eventually writing an improved version.
· Well, the above is about it for this release. We had ways to toggle off some effects that can affect performance, however we've removed them so that they can be consolidated into a universal 'Performance Mode' which will be available in future versions.
Here are the recommended hardware specs for the game:
- Intel Core2Duo @ 2.4GHz
- 4 GB RAM
- 512 MB Video RAM
Comments
Hey guys, just as a heads up I want to mention that due to our campaign changes we're no longer going to be doing private transactions for new patrons. We're *really* hoping that Patreon enables us to use the new charge upfront feature ASAP, which will completely eliminate this issue, however until then we are going to be sending rewards out on the 1st of the month to new patrons.

2016-09-27 09:57:38 +0000 UTCHey there! I sent a message to you regarding how to get your pledge to me!
2016-09-27 09:11:36 +0000 UTCWhat? I did not. Is it perhaps in the room with flesh "walls" and catwalks above?

2016-09-27 07:40:12 +0000 UTChi i pldged 15.how do i get the link of the game?
2016-09-27 07:11:02 +0000 UTCT.F. Neon is absolutely jaw-dropping! From the artwork to the sprites. I personally prefer Neon to Malice, so I could be biased. That being said, my new favorite is miss Ven. Hands-down one of the sexiest female characters ever created for any art medium. I would love a chance to play as her in some kind of back story, side-quest, or even her own game!
2016-09-26 21:24:53 +0000 UTCHi, I pledged $10. Could you send me a message of the link to the v0.05?
2016-09-26 14:14:49 +0000 UTCThis release is looking stellar, and I am very much a fan of the Ven H-scene! Nice work!

2016-09-25 18:46:02 +0000 UTCStats like this would probably fit in existing screen and doing it or secondary screen is easy. Stats themselves and their tracking is way more complicated and it depends on many things not yet implemented, planned, etc. It's one of those things we would like to implement, but it has pretty low priority for the moment.
AltairPL
2016-09-25 12:32:14 +0000 UTCSuggestion: How about a second status screen for both girls that contains sexual stats? Lets say they both have an interface that keeps track of stuff like vaginal pressure and fullness. Each enemy releases a certain amount of sperm that needs to be extracted from aris. When there is this popup about restoring nano tissue and stuff have another line that says how much sperm in ml got extracted or something. I don't know anything about programming in rpgmaker but my guess is that a screen and stats like this should be rather easy and they would add much to the games style in my opinion. What do you guys think?

2016-09-25 12:07:10 +0000 UTCI played this release and I like it very much. Performance was great and I had no graphic glitches. Only bug I found was that after I died to this tentacle plant and loaded my save immediatly the next fight told me about asphyxiation again. So this textbox appeared two times. No big deal.
Fredinator
2016-09-25 08:04:48 +0000 UTCHey Kay! Looks like your pledge was after the deadline! Sending you a message with details on how to get it to me.
2016-09-25 04:17:53 +0000 UTCHello. I pledged $10.00, but did not get the link email. could you resend it?
2016-09-25 04:01:25 +0000 UTCEspecially with the armor rend status. Makes it look like she ripped her own top up and trying to seduce.
2016-09-24 22:17:15 +0000 UTCSo i was assuming the tac armor was before the venture into the new monster labyrinth area because the screen shot shows neon in it while apparently talking with Malise. But, geez you know what they say about assuming.
SomeSingularPerson
2016-09-24 22:09:39 +0000 UTCMasturbate with a long red timed casting bar to drop the lust a level during combat?
2016-09-24 17:34:38 +0000 UTCHow do you unlock that? Aside from engorge all I can ever get so far is the artwork under construction for Neon's tactical frame.
2016-09-24 14:43:40 +0000 UTCLikely to be more. Look at the difference between the last public demo and 0.043. I'd say Ven is in for a rough gangbang or a train ride and used for an incubator.
2016-09-24 14:38:36 +0000 UTCI've played this through beginning to end 3 times already, I've not noticed any bugs. It's nice to see Neon's nipples at last, and to see more of Ven, I hope we see more of both in future ;)
James Denning
2016-09-24 09:23:27 +0000 UTChow does one find the Neon tactical suit i've searched seemingly every room?
SomeSingularPerson
2016-09-23 22:56:40 +0000 UTCHave you tried using the 'Wait' battle modes to slow battle down? You can set this in the Options menu. You can also pause at any time (in fact, it's meant to be used strategically). Regarding your other question, there will definitely be humanoid / female enemies with H attacks in the game :D.
2016-09-23 22:36:29 +0000 UTCI've sent you a message with details on how to get your pledge to me!
2016-09-23 22:32:22 +0000 UTChi, I've pledged on $ 10, is that I could have the link to the v0.05 release?
lolo
2016-09-23 13:09:35 +0000 UTCThe "infiltrate" artwork on Neon tactical frame is amazing... love how the vorepups enter from both ends and distend her! That's gorgeous! :)
CCman
2016-09-23 10:33:44 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the work you guys are doing, its pretty hard to find good adult games (and even harder if you cant read japanese like most mortals) and i really like Malise and the machine. Now i was thinking it would be nice if we had some more controll over the love sickeness state of the characters, maybe add a potion that reduces the love sickness or an accessory that reduces love sickeness over time. that way you can more easily watch the "downed artwork" for not aroused/ slightly aroused.
2016-09-23 09:54:51 +0000 UTCMy thoughts on it so far... Seems fun. I do feel as though it's still a bit limited on how much the player can enjoy the scenes. Could you add maybe invincibility mode until the full release? Another thought was about how the characters react to the scenes. Could we get a dominant option that grapples the enemy? Also, will there be much girl-girl action later on? It's mostly monsters so far, and I imagine there would be areas covered in males (by the scene, I'm guessing it's soon), but could we get a variety of female enemies? The update is nice. It was a bit sad there wasn't much ero-content added besides the scenes and vore, but that's fine, honestly. I'm just glad this isn't another abandoned game. RiP BS But honestly, good work so far. Hope to see more in the future!
BoogerBrigade
2016-09-23 08:24:49 +0000 UTCYup ^-^
2016-09-23 07:32:37 +0000 UTCI REALLY loved the last scene, I honestly hope we do get to see more of Ven! However I wonder, is the scene finished or is there more to it in the next release?
dudman
2016-09-23 05:52:56 +0000 UTCUse the interrupting shot when he starts charging the grab.
Cereliona
2016-09-23 05:25:05 +0000 UTCHow the heck are you supposed to beat the Fleshfather? He just chain-grabs me so much I can't even do anything.
2016-09-23 04:47:17 +0000 UTCHey um. The hidden room near the door to the first ARIS chamber... was that always there?
Robert Dant
2016-09-23 03:53:35 +0000 UTCSo I've got to ask did anyone else find the precision rifle? Really like the new map for that area.
2016-09-23 02:58:17 +0000 UTCWith the new skill, I think the tradeoff is that it has a cast time, so you can't also interrupt if you need to. It seems like it's enough of a tradeoff in general, but in the future I'd like to see them give skills different wind-down and wind-up times.
2016-09-23 01:11:13 +0000 UTCyup, only problem I have with this update...kind of defeats the purpose of having the new outfit
2016-09-22 21:17:32 +0000 UTCHey there! I just sent you a message!
2016-09-22 21:13:31 +0000 UTCThanks for the heads up!
2016-09-22 21:12:05 +0000 UTCThanks :D
2016-09-22 20:56:33 +0000 UTCHello, sorry for the newbie question, but I pledged at the 10 $ level and I haven't received anything (I thought that level got you the latest version). I only pledged a few days ago, does that mean I'm too late ?
2016-09-22 18:20:12 +0000 UTCWith Neon's new armor if she gets Self-Destructed her portrait disappears til the fight ends - her stats stay and she's dead but there's no portrait whatsoever. - Not sure what happens if you use an adrenaline pack on her though. Otherwise it seems pretty polished. Great job guys.
2016-09-22 16:42:35 +0000 UTCLove the way Neon pull a bit her panties while casting when a bit aroused (passed 1/3). That new armor is fitting like a glove to Neon. It has been a quick walkthrough but I really enjoyed Ven's animations, during the fight and then in the H-Scene (nice scenario btw). That was alot of artwork i'm sure of it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Faithel
2016-09-22 16:35:47 +0000 UTC"Artwork under construction"... i was like "Awww.. Damn!" :P
2016-09-22 14:49:55 +0000 UTCStill sore about spending your $10?
2016-09-22 14:49:20 +0000 UTChmmm i mean im 5/10 about V5 lol ... i mean it just one new map and one H ...>.
2016-09-22 14:29:55 +0000 UTCI loved the Ven! She is amazing!
2016-09-22 12:52:24 +0000 UTCThe AoE skill for Neon brings those big triple groups more inline with the paired enemy battles. Though the damage feels a little bit high. Between that and dual shot, I rip triple groups a new one very, very quickly. I'd reckon there to be a tactical decision whether to shoot normally or use the airburst? The fleshy area is not just a sigh of relief compared to the fuse puzzle, but it makes the facility feel more "containment breach"; great bit of map! Neon's interactions with the vorepups are titcacular, now that they can engorge (and looks like one gets 'really' adventurous if her armour is broken), excited for the Reaper and Fleshpod scenes!
2016-09-22 08:54:35 +0000 UTCVery satisfying end and I really like that the grindy fuse puzzle isn't around. Take your time with that one, no hurries.
2016-09-22 08:49:51 +0000 UTCWorth the wait but God, waiting gets harder and harder. T_T
Ashiel
2016-09-22 07:20:07 +0000 UTCAs in you just beat the Fleshfather? Keep playing.
PhatsM
2016-09-22 07:06:10 +0000 UTCJust played through to the Fleshfather and Malise is nowhere in sight. Is this a bug?

2016-09-22 07:05:28 +0000 UTCIf anyone encounters any problems with the game, please follow instructions from "REGARDING BUG REPORTS" section of post linked below: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/malise-and-v0-5483098">https://www.patreon.com/posts/malise-and-v0-5483098</a> Thanks in advance.

2016-09-22 05:30:52 +0000 UTCDownloading now!!
Kenin
2016-09-22 05:29:09 +0000 UTCIt would seem you have pledged to late to be eligible for 0.05 - don't worry, you weren't charged. Contact Eromancer for alternative way to get 0.05.
AltairPL
2016-09-22 05:28:09 +0000 UTCYeah, I had something similar, except I didn't get the game over due to the asphyxiation. It seems that if you get the message and then get a game over before you save again, you'll get the message right at the start of your first fight after reloading.
Cereliona
2016-09-22 05:04:38 +0000 UTCHi, I pledged but did not get the link email, could you resend it?
Josephus
2016-09-22 04:41:10 +0000 UTCWell, I'll say this. This update was very brief, the story sex scene was incredibly tame compared to the first one. But overall, the quality of the work is still amazing. Very happy to see animation making it's way into the mix as well. Hope to see more from this.
Kurowscar
2016-09-22 04:19:35 +0000 UTCWhere should we mention bugs? Because I had a game over due to little flesh father minis(don't remember their names) submerging both characters and when I reloaded the game, I got a notification about asphyxiation. But neither of them were asphyxiating. Just a heads up!
Somnovox
2016-09-22 04:02:00 +0000 UTCGuys! Guys. Hey. Guys. Whoa. Just finished my first full play through. Awesome work. Cannot wait to see what you have in store next!
