So, now that all characters have had their new story arc, what's next? I know I've shown Spinelle in an earlier post (https://www.patreon.com/posts/character-in-138997368) and she's still planned to be the next character, but there are a couple things I'd like to do before that. To be honest, there have been a couple character content updates in a row, so I'd like to push some polish updates before a...
2025-11-19 14:05:19 +0000 UTC View PostThere were a couple issues with the Kindred update launch, ranging from images not displayed correctly to wrong boss to white screens to me leaving a debug while frantically fixing stuff (no, Pearl was not supposed to have new starting cards).
Sorry about that, and if you got anything like that, reload the page to be up to date with the last (and hopefully fixed) version. Issues are to be expected right after an update release, but there were more than anticipated. Hope you have fun. 2025-11-16 07:30:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Something that took a bit of time was the implementation of a new image handler. I was using public hosts until now, but it could cause some issues. Notably, this change should make images load faster, avoid images being down, and solve the issue that appeared last month for UK residents be...

I said this week-end for Amber... Still finishing things up, can't publish the update today. Not making you wait long, she's training hard (Pearl is, too!). I'm aware Ruby's path may be a bit hard at the moment, I'm balancing things out as character release, and still gonna be patching a couple things afterwards so everyone feels smoother and without much grind.
I got reports of image issues as well. I'm dependant on external hosts as of now, so there can be temporary downtimes. Gonna l...
2025-10-12 05:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostHi, just wanted to let you know that I with the recent updates I made a few mistakes in regards to transferring save files. Some of you may have experienced max level being stuck earlier than anticipated, possibly even been met with a story boss on the wrong level.
This bug took multiple forms, and I've sent multiple fixes over the weeks, fixing parts of it every time. Hopefully it's all fixed as of now, and I hope it didn't impact too many of you. This was a critical issue, and I want ...
2025-10-08 14:59:54 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't had a lot of negative comments yet about difficulty when it came to Maze Power 2, but I feel like this is something that may be important. I do not want my players to feel like progressing is painful.
With the update of Ruby's growth arc, I did rework balance quite a bit, also worked on Amber and Pearl already to better adjust the maze preemptively. I'm still not completely satisfied on balance, but I need to push updates and keep things going, in the meantime you can help me ...

2025-10-01 04:30:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi, very quick update on the situation.
Last week, the Witch hunt update came out, with maze power 2 and Beryl to level 10. The other girls are coming soon. Ruby is getting her turn first, then Amber, and finally Pearl. I worked on a few things this week, including Spinelle, STS modding, QoL features and mostly a lot of bug fixes. Because of that, I still need a few days before Ruby is ready. I'm also gonna sparkle some quality of life features like path planning, "collect all" button, ...

I recently found myself working on a new character. This time around, ass is on the menu.
Spinelle will be the Ass Expansion representative for Maze of Ambition. This bunny girl and insatiable nympho refuses to wear skirts or pants, and is always ready for action.
How will she play?
In the maze, she will play as a stance-based character. Turn back to ...
2025-09-16 04:06:06 +0000 UTC View PostI've been tinkering with Slay the Spire modding a bit. Maze of Ambition and Slay the Spire are similar enough to port characters with a couple adjustments.
While it needs polish and adjusted art style, a modded version of Beryl is basically playable for instance.
I could take a bit of time to make MoA characters as (SFW) playable mods. It doesn't take so much time it would impede much o...

2025-09-10 03:28:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi, development for the update has ended, but I can't publish it yet because of bugs I need to fix before that. They're mostly related to handling save files and public vs supporter build with varying character level access, nothing that should happen again in the following drops. Publishing it as soon as issues have been dealt with, so probably around tomorrow.
I just wanted to address that as it was supposed to already be out.
Hi,
In the following weeks, I'm going to roll out small updates, each giving a specific girl access to the next growth stages (up to level 10) alongside a storyline. The first one will be Beryl later this week, as per a previous poll. While I'm not showing what it looks like just yet, this also means you need a way to gain enough experience to reach that level.
With that next update also comes an enhanced maze, here's the gist of it.
The first part of Update 4, Entropy, is online.
From now on, updates are going to be smaller, incremental, and more frequent. The content initially intended for Update 4 will be split into separate updates, that are going to roll out over the coming month.
This update includes:
New deck management system (card removal is obsolete and replaced by a sideboarding system)
New insight resource
Quality of life improvements (e...
2025-08-27 10:29:37 +0000 UTC View Post
Some more cards, relics and potions are being added. Character-specific cards and items will come with each character growth stage, being added over time (starting with Beryl). But even outside of that, new items hit the maze.
2025-08-25 05:26:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi,
I was a bit hesitant about making this post, because I am of the philosophy of not finding excuses and rather doing instead of saying in times like this, especially when the late update is my fault. Nothing exceptional happened, I was just stuck in a cycle of burning out and taking a break, and overworking because I was late, plus I had a mental block for some reason.
Until now, I made pretty substantial updates, the reason was I wanted to give people a reason to play the game...

As it stands, if you have beaten the main story, the maze is not a challenge anymore. But as you grow, the maze grows with you. With higher maze power comes more exp for growth to follow. But also improved enemies and new encounters. Relics and...
2025-08-08 15:27:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe way the deck management worked changed with Update 3 to allow a more dynamic deck size. You would now manage your deck size by adding and removing cards, instead of swapping every time with a fixed deck size.
The change had upsides and downsides. It did feel a bit clunky at times, and I knew it was something I wanted to improve on, I just needed more time for design and implementation. This improvement should come with Update 4.
With Update 4, card removal is gone. You get to ...

2025-07-31 14:07:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Sad news. Progress was a bit slow, the update won't come out in time, and I unfortunately can't say I gave it my all.
I wanted to apologize, especially given that the previous update took a lot of time as well. To compensate, I froze subscriptions for 1 months, so you shouldn't get charged (July 3rd - August 3rd). I know this doesn't totally make up for it.
I'm working harder now on the update, I don't want to force it in an unfinished state but it should sti...
2025-07-06 03:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey,
After Update 3 released, I spent some time polishing it in patches, fixing some issues, and experimenting with gameplay a bit. I then started working on the next update, which focuses on adding growth stages and some more scenes.
I am a bit under half-way done. I intend to release the update in the second week of July, but this is an approximation. Here's more details:
Growth
This is the main focus of the update.
I'm adding more growth stages to all characters, up to...
I have started development for Update 4. This update focuses on new growth stages as well as challenges awarding more experience to reach them easier, and possibly sexy elements on the side, depending on how much I can stuff in.
That said, I am aware Update 3 brought some controversial changes to the gameplay. While I think it's mostly in a good state, now that it's been a few days, I'm interested in knowing the main issues you've had with it, if any (gameplay only, please ignore conten...
2025-05-14 12:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostQuick info:
I'm deploying a small patch tomorrow addressing a few bugs, increasing shard gain, lowering exp requirement, and minor gameplay changes. Runes will also be removed, in order to remove management on individual card upgrades with faster pacing, and not requiring you to gather them in the maze. You'll be able to upgrade all cards at once in the traits menu. Saves will be fine, but runs in progress will be aborted automatically.
I tried a few things for improving deck mana...
2025-05-09 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate 3 dropped a bit over 24 hours ago, and brought its lot of core changes. I received a bunch of critical comment ranging from good to less good, and have been collecting my thoughts.
Before I start to work on the next update, I am going to spend a few days to polish the current system, tweaking a few numbers and mechanics in order to make it the best I can for the most people out there.
I intend to adjust exp and resource gain to make progress easier, to not make it a grind even...
Last question for now, guys.
Previously, Update 2 had a fixed 15 cards deck size, and on every new card you would be replacing an older one. A quick rotation was needed to push off lower level cards from earlier in the run.
With card levels gone and the addition of vanish cards and the such, it didn't fit as well and I tried to switch things up, but I got some negative feedback about the new deck management.
I have to agree, I think it's one of the points that could be impro...
2025-05-04 12:25:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi, second survey about the new gameplay is about the new level system.
Previous levels are now split into more parts, and you can keep exp between runs for meta-progression.
The objective is to feel your character grow in the long run rather than in the short term, and you can come back in the maze and demolish monsters that gave you trouble before, thus seeing your progress.
(note that some of the later card and trait upgrades are not balanced with this version in mind, as you ...
2025-05-04 10:29:02 +0000 UTC View PostThere has been a number of controversies in the discord regarding some of the changes made in Update 3. Regarding difficulty, progression, deck management... I know I can't please everyone, but what I can do, is get your feedback.
I'm gonna make a series of surveys in the following days, so I can see what are your preferences.
These are not for large updates. I might try and make a few changes to the update 3 build through small patches so that it fits what most people want.
