Once v27.3 was actually out around the start of the month, things certainly shifted into just bugfixing for a while, which, while there were definitely a variety of odd and surprising problems, none of them were the critical issues I worried could happen with level drain being added, so that's good at least.
After v27.3b came out, further bugfixing was done, but nothing warranting another bugfix patch. So I moved on to other tasks, such as creating a small program in Ren'Py to simulate ...

December progressed well, even if it practically flew by. Implementing the manticore CG led to me finding a number of bugs that needed fixing, and which were relevant not only to her, but also to the Trisha and Venefica fights, as well as to the damage display not always working properly during combat events. These have all been fixed, along with some other reported issues related to both bugs and typos.
Alongside the manticore CG, proper backgrounds have been added to both Kotone's Roo...

While it took on the longer end of 2 of this month's first weeks, the Melody-Cadence fight was successfully wrapped up with testing, fixing, balancing, loss scenes, and final touches, along with editing on the last few of the victory scenes Val did.
Once v27.2 was out, I took a brief pause before digging into the post-release bug fixing patch and getting it out for people. It should be the only bug fix patch the update will need, unless something unexpected comes up.
The second ha...

Just posting this to keep people informed on why that suddenly happened, and to remind that the game is always free, and available in a number of places. I thought the free members barrier was sufficient, but it apparently is not... That or the change log itself was just too risqué.

Due to the Melody+Cadence fight having a lot of dialogue from there being two of them, and some sick days this month, the update should be ready in 1-2 more weeks, depending on how much content they end up getting and possible incidents.
Otherwise, the early part of the month was spent on setting up the Shizu CG art, as was reported in the art teaser, with even a few extra additions after I thought I was done. She now even has an anal variant thanks to Jiffic.
Additionally, ...

This will be in the v27.2 update! And is close to being fully implemented into the game at time of posting.
While it will be used in Shizu's mountain ambush fight, this CG will not be used in Shizu's Dojo fight, as it would make that fight a lot more confusing and difficult by merit of the clones not being displayed and having targeting boxes to the side. But even then if those were shown it would still shuffle the way they're displayed and make the real one harder ...

Well, v27.1 being a smaller, quicker update got a bit away from itself, between the Minoni content addition and the previously mentioned issues with setting up the Matango art. Of course, there was also time spent finishing up the shop run by Cadence and Melody, who are the ones I plan to give a fight encounter to in v27.2, in further preparation for the Aphrodesia district stamp.
After the v27.1 update itself, there was a quick hotfix, then I worked on post-update launch stuff, as well...

As suspected in the last status report, v27.1 won't be super substantial given the short time to work on it after the bugfixing and rest following v27... of which there has been some more bugfixing that has gone into v27.1. But Val has done a number of assorted side content things for the update, and another tune-up to the Floor 3 puzzle of Adventure Apartments to help make it less likely to confuse or mislead people.
As for why the update is not out yet, basically due to just the Matan...

Will be getting in for v27.1!
Which, much like Ancilla and the elves will also require me to finally layer her standing art cg properly.

So as some of you may have realized, my estimate in the last status report for the update was a little bit wrong. This is mostly due to underestimating the amount of content I'd end up putting into Malicia. If you don't know who that is, don't worry about it! But her manner of speaking, as well as the variations needed for her introduction and interactions, ended up being quite a lot more involved than I initially expected. But there was also a lot of other work that went into finishing the u...

Progress continues on v27 but its still not done quite yet, probably 2ish more weeks of work and it should be good to go. So may have been better to release a smaller update last month, but I really wanted a major update like v27 to have a decent chunk of new, self-contained content, and oh well we're in too deep now.
Which I did underestimate how much there would be to do still, and also got a bit carried away with one of the scenes, and also adding a loss scene to the Ars Delusian Fog...

Another close up CG, which is especially fitting for the Lumiren's up close and personal scene when she drags you under.
Though I should probably also look into getting an underwater background of some kind so the CG isn't entirely backdropped by the caverns, that might feel a little weird...
Either way though her art will definitely be making it into v27.

Well this month went much smoother! Though the v27 update itself will not be until likely the end of June, but there's definitely enough stuff ready atm that it could be an update now. However I'd like to have the Starlight District thing I'm working on actually done for it, and it will help make the update be even more substantial.
The first chunk of May was dedicated to setting up the Elf CG that was teased, which included needing to shift the original art into the proper layer...

This will be getting into the v27 update, though given current elf content the variant with the third elf will be in use at a later time, but the CG will be fully set up so utilizing it later will be easy. Much like the ancilla CG implementation I'm gonna need to mess around with how the base elf is set up so it all works properly, given they're still using the outdated non-layered expressions method from way back.

Kinda feels weird to do another status report when the last one part way into the month mostly covered everything. Mostly.
But after power was back on it was into finishing up and testing the Fashionable Succubus encounter. Then I got food poisoning from food I ordered in for a bit which once again, slowed things down. Then once I was better it was back to the Fashion succubus stuff, however I eventually hit a kind of snag with the combat dialogue in that trimming it down to fit would r...

Well for starters on why no update, no April fools post, and why this is late. My power went out due to an ice storm on the 30th of March, and didn't come back until the 6th of April. I did post about this in the discord server but I know not everyone's in there, and due to this hindrance I'm also making this a public post.
Which, I am considering just making status reports public in general for better communication, but that is a separate thing.
But yes, while i was working hard...

Lo and behold after saying in the status report none of the art commissions I got 2 of them back that night basically, the horn tweaks being a separate thing, I'll do another teaser next week maybe, or leave the second one a surprise.
Which speaking of the horn changes you can see the side by side images after the CG teaser, which Jiffic did these changes for free to better fit the design he intended for her, as you can see in the banner image for MGD on the ...
