Some changes, but work progressing as usual
🕑 Added 2023-06-13 00:11:24 +0000 UTCHello again everyone!
Sorry for the delayed report; I have a bad tendency to "tunnel vision" when I'm focused on work, so much so that I forget to post updates for you all on the progress of the game's development. It is a bad point of my persona, which I still find difficult to fix sometimes, so apologies for that.
I also had some thoughts running through my head lately, which I wanted to put in order before making another post here. More specifically, I've updated some things here on patreon, mostly the main description on the landing page, and I've also changed the text for the supporter tiers as well.
My goal with those changes is thus: I wanted to clarify a few things regarding how I as a creator would like to approach this hobby going forward, and consequently, to better temper the expectations (relating to my work) of those who so graciously choose to support me.
As a reminder, I wasn't making constant polls anymore (remember when I ran 12 or so in a row every month), I wasn't posing progress reports with previews as frequently, the final version of the game very likely won't have CGs anymore, etc.
Essentially, I was setting up all of those expectations that were outdated and weren't relevant anymore (for better or worse) because those texts remained unchanged since I first created this patreon page all those years ago.
Tough it is worth noting that a good constant (that I'm quite proud of) is that my release schedule has stayed consistent since the inception: a 2 month dev-cycle, with a few times going into 3 months, where I release the new version at the last few days of the month; this consistency will remain unchanged.
I guess that this is all to say that going forward, I feel much more comfortable and motivated working, if I'm working within the backdrop of a relaxed relationship between me as a creator and all of my supporters, and therefore I wanted to reflect that in the texts of my page.
So I encourage you to read those changes and to alter (or halt) your support if you feel that this new way of how I want to approach things does not match your expectations. There will be no hard feelings from me as I'm already grateful beyond belief.
Anticipating a few questions:
1) Development of MKM will continue as normal.
2) For version 1.0 you'll still get a steam key (or a DRM-free itch.io key) if you've supported 10$ in total.
3) You'll still appear in the credits as a supporter (if you so desire, as some prefer to be removed to remain anonymous).
4) I'll still tunnel vision and forget to post progress reports once in a while LOL
With that out of the way, let me finally update everyone on the progress regarding this 1 month of development (now well into the 2nd month) of the upcoming "Bad Endings". As you can see in the preview images, the endings for the giant botfly, centauress and slime queen are 100% done.
I've decided that every boss of the game will have one, so next up I'm working on the Champion's (arena minotaur) one, which is a bit tricky since his current animation already goes through 3 poses, so I'll be refining his additional bad ending.
As far as release date goes, I'll probably close up this 2 month dev-cycle at the end of June and make a release with all of the completed bad endings, as opposed to extending the dev cycle to 3 months just to have more endings in the same package. So please expect the 1st batch of bad endings at the end of this month.
Best Regards,
Mega

Nothing planned for her at the moment, but I plan to run a poll where patrons can suggest bad end scenarios for any enemy in the game, so it is possible someone will suggest one for her.
Irem
Hey Mega, I'm just curious, do you have a bad end in line for the bunny girl? She is one of my favortie enemies in the game!
Tremere Winter
Also loving the bad ends how they look including the fly one I was hoping to see ^w^ so im excited!!!
Tremere Winter
Hey 2 and if need be slightly 3 months works happy with me, plus if things happens and you get sick. You're not a machine and only one person, I don't expect God level of work. Plus I would assume if you plan to take time off the exceeds the time you would put the payment on hold.
Mega Blue Ball
She will probably get a normal sexx scene. Well, as normal as her humongous appendage allows haha
Mega Blue Ball
Thank you for your support! There is no need to be continuous; you can stop for however long you wish, and then support again, rinse-and-repeat, and when that lifetime total reaches the threshold, you're all good!
Mega Blue Ball
I appreciate the kind words!
Mega Blue Ball
It's a possibility yes. Alternatively, one such scene could be suggested in the upcoming poll that I hope to make.
Mega Blue Ball
Basically everyone from every tier, excluding only those who want to remain anonymous. I think when that time comes, I will send an email/message to everyone, saying that I will finalize the credits list and then ask for those who wish to not be included to let me know.
Mega Blue Ball
Thank you very much!

I'm kinda wanting a different end for the gate guardian. She only has the penis absorption end and I'd like to see something different.
Louis Blazeit
Ooh, a bad end for each boss sounds great! Clematis aside, I'd be interested to see what the Werewolf end would look like, considering Maya's lost humanity and transformation into a wild beast. And the plant girl too! What would Maya's energy do for her?
Raven Frisk
Keep up the great work at your own pace, can't rush perfection!

Personally I prefer animated content to still CG so this change is fine with me if it gives you more time to work on other aspects of the game.

Question: I supported the game so far for a couple of months in total, although separatedly, thus paying about 6 bucks. Would I get the free key only if it's continuous payment or just in total?
Crevan Prowler
I'm with Vik here on having the scene persist until player input. Just leaving the cycle going with Maya and the doggo boys as long as I want is fantastic. I'd like if a few other 'bad ending's' were the same.
Crevan Prowler
This is looking absolutely awesome. You keep putting out quality work. Looking forward to the next release.
Dee
You have an excellent record of consistency and your demo updates are consistently content heavy and meaningful. I think, as far as setting expectations as a creator and following through, you are far far above average, and I would be shocked if anyone had any meaningful complaints about your workflow management. Just trying to say, you're great, keep doing whatever it is that you're doing.
Terra Blade
I'm also wondering about transformation ends. I was surprised there wasn't more of them in the city with her becoming a long term resident.
Steven
will we see any more transformation bad ending?? like her turning into a bot fly and/or maggot?? or maya transforming into a centauress??
Dirk Dagger
This looks great!!!
Lilly Anderson
Ummm I have a question π The credits, they'll contain all patrons (who want to be credited) or only the higher tiers? π₯Ί
Lilly Anderson
Yeah , was about to point myself π
Jason Bill
Think you've got a typo there towards the end when talking about the champion. Got centaur written there instead of minotaur. Regardless though, looking forward to his game over.
Brandon Leger
Very happy for the update and I knew youβd return to update us! Honestly I support to play the releases and to support you to continue making one of the best h games on the internet. I really hope you donβt get burned out because I enjoy this project so much.
sashatashi
It's a still image representing an event in the game. I am fine with those not appearing, I prefer the animations personally.
Rocker20
What is meant by no more "CG's?" I honestly don't know what a CG is.
anon
these endings look incredible -- cannot wait
Vik Virtue
Nice to hear you're still going strong. Truthfully, I honestly forgot about the CGs. I usually was just anticipating what would be in store for the next update. Take the bad with the good though, as it's cool to hear all bosses will get bad endings. And it's all good with the tunnel visioning. Just means you're focused and excited on what you're working on, right? Oh a question though. Will the scenes automatically transition to a bad end like how the doggo boys are currently? Would it be possible to have the scene persist until player input?
Felix >;3c
Yay!! Good to hear from you. I was literally just thinking about you earlier today, haha. I'm glad to see everything is coming along! Take your time. The pictures look great so far and I'm soooo excited for the bad endings. They're my favorite part of h-games! I'm ok with there being no CG. You've already put so much work into the sprites! I like the animations best anyways :)
Dainsleft Rovera
Incredible...really liking these extra endings\fates here. Hope things proceed smoothly.
