V0.04 Release Date Announcement and Progress Update

Hey all!

The definite, concrete release date for V0.04 will be the evening of May 15.

 

We were shooting for "around the 10th", and since we're in that ballpark right now it's obvious we need just a few more days for what is mostly the remaining dialog, event placement and scripting, and testing.  Expect the full release notes with the release post!

New patrons!!

If you missed the April 29th pledge deadline then plea...

Please Check Your Payment Information!

Hey guys!

We have a pretty overwhelming amount of transactions declined for the May release (nearly 20% of pledges), so please check and make sure that your payment information is valid and up to date.  Patreon should re-attempt to process your pledge automatically if you need to update your info.  

If your payment info is valid and for some reason it is still being declined, please let Patreon know.  If all else fails please message me and we'll wo...

Locking in Pledges for V0.04!

Hello everyone!

 

This post will lock in your pledges for V0.04 so that Patreon can process them at the beginning of May.  As mentioned in the previous post, we need a little more time to wrap up V0.04, so we will be sure to notify you of the exact date in the next week or so.  A subsequent post will contain all release details including how we will be distributing the release (past patrons know the drill by now most likely).  We will be sending out other pledg...

Small V0.04 Delay, New Character Reveal

Hey guys!

I'll get the bad news out of the way up front.  We need a few more days to finish up V0.04, so I'm projecting that around May 10 it will be ready.  I'll be sure to update you on our progress though, as it may be before or slightly after that.  We have to stick to Patreon's procedure of pledges being charged at the beginning of the month, so that means that pledges still have to be in by around April 29 (to be safe) when the paid post goes live.  Pledges...

New Print Design!

Hey guys!  

I just finished the latest print design for the upcoming release in May.  

For this release I've been working a lot on stepping up the artwork quality by incorporating more environmental lighting (when necessary) and improved shading/ambient shadows while still maintaining the art style we've established for the game.  This latest print shows that off a bit (you can compare it to the earlier version I posted here back in January and see what I mean). &n...

MATM Artwork Replacer Mod for Fallout 4

Hey guys!

In between responding to the flood of messages and emails following the public demo release, I took a few hours and made a simple mod for Fallout 4.  The mod replaces various in-game billboards/advertisements/etc. with artwork from MATM (done up with grit and grime to remain within the aesthetics of the game). 

The idea for the mod was to introduce the game to a new audience, and so far it seems to have been received well despite its simplici...

Unlike the regular Patreon releases, a download link for the public demo will simply be posted in its release post here on Patreon.

Progress Update!

Hey everyone!

Apologies for not stopping in sooner, but I figured I'd wait until there was something visually worthwhile to show off.  There are approximately five topics I'd like to cover in this post, so prepare thine asses for a really long post.

Menu Interface Overhaul

I figure I'll touch on this one first due to the pretty screenshot up above.   2015-12-15 05:47:40 +0000 UTC View Post

V0.031 Patch Being Sent Out Today!

Hey all!

I'll be sending out a patched version of V0.03 today that will fix the following issues that you guys helped us find after the initial V0.03 release:

• Fixed an issue where the game could freeze in battle when using certain battle time modes.

• Fixed an issue where using an ARIS unit would allow you to switch characters during the map scene when only one character was in the party.

• Removed deprecated control tutorial messages from the V0.0...

Patreon's Changes to the Total Funding Amount Figure

Hey guys!

I just wanted to point out that Patreon has made some favorable changes to the funding amount value shown on the front page of each campaign.  

You'll notice the number of patrons backing the project dropped from around 1050 to around 950.  No worries though, we haven't lost 100 patrons today!  Instead, the new figure is a more accurate representation of patrons whose pledges are actually processed as opposed to declined.  This last release there were ...

Attention Inner Circle Patrons!

V0.03 Links Sent! Please Check Your Payment Info!

Hey guys,

Unless you're one of the two patrons whose pledges are still 'Pending', you've either received your reward link (for the game and artwork PDF) or Patreon declined your pledge.  If the case is the latter, please check/update your payment info as necessary!  Patreon will re-attempt processing after you do so.

Also, if you're set up to receive a print reward, please message me and let me know which print design you'd like!  I've only heard from a couple of you...

Malise and the Machine V0.03 Release

Hello everyone!

This post will lock in your pledges so that when Patreon processes payments at the beginning of November I can begin sending out download links for pledge rewards.  Please note it can take as long as a week for Patreon to process all pledges, so try to be patient!  Again I want to remind everyone to please check that their payment information is correct and up to date (even if you had it set correctly for the last release, please check to make sure Patreon didn't ...

V0.03 Preview for Inner Circle Patrons

Hey Inner Circle people!  I've uploaded a new version for you to check out!  You'll find it on the Google Drive in the 'October 24 2015' folder.  This one includes battles and the boss (no dialog or events yet), however there are a few things for you to know beforehand:

• The new battle system hasn't been balanced yet, so expect significant edits before the actual release of V0.03.
• Enemies still need attacks that add lust (as well as other skills) added ...

V0.03 Coming November 1st!

Hey guys!

So, we'll be doing the V0.03 release on November 1st.  This is unfortunately quite a bit further out than I had originally anticipated, but the reasons for it are pretty solid.  We're actually very close to being finished with it, but the decision was mainly either to charge you guys for October and release it when we finish (probably 10 days to two weeks to get it polished up and ready to go) or to just avoid a wh...

So, from now on when I upload a playable test demo to the Google Drive folder I'll be sure to make a post here to better notify you.  You can also post comments about the test build on this thread as opposed to emailing me directly, which will hopefully mean you can more easily discuss the content with other inner circle patrons.

I want to apologize for the recent lack of posts this past month, but rest assured we've been working harder than ever on the next release.  That being said, I definitely want to stop in and give you an overview on where we're at.  I'll be posting a huge list of improvements/fixes/features later this month, but for now some highlights.  Originally the goal was to have V0.03 out on September 1.  That would have been a 2 month cycle (down from a 3 mo...
