I didn't like the beta when it was first released months ago. I decided the wait for some meaty updates until summer at least. Finally I finished the current content and I can happily say that there is a new king(for me) in the throne.

First of all, this game has the best production value in here as far as I see. Everything look amazing!

Not gonna lie, at first I thought the same things when I played beta but with the story, realitionships, dialogues going forward I become more and more invested. Now I am really curious about nearly every part of the game!

Like I said in the beginning: For me, there is a new number one and I hope it will just become better and better.

My favourite ones are mom and Ms. Jane. Ruby is really annoying but I think that will benefit a lot of great scenes if I had to make a guess from the last scene of her storyline.

Its a pretty weird gameplay.
I just keep clicking until I see something new.
And when I dont that means I finished the version I think.
Those ojectives are no help.
The mc likes to put his foot in his mouth a lot and gets into trouble a lot.
There is no multiple paths to avoid not getting into trouble
Its just a point and click mess.
The artwork animation and story are worth all that trouble.
I just hope he stops messing up so much and this leads to a happy ending.
When is the next version?

I don`t quite agree, what you say about the objectives !!! In my mind, they tells you what to do quite clearly and atleast they tells you, if you are done all the updates quests !!!!!:D(y)

I see people ranting on about Icstor and other major devs taking breaks, or even devs like gumdrop who hasn't released a game in almost 2 years, but very few actually notice how much Lewdlab is ripping his patreons off. How you ask, let me explain-

In the 2 months between 0.4 and 0.5 he made more than 40k, for an update with 250+ images and 5-7 animations. In total the game till date has maybe 1500 images and 50 animations, that is in 7 months since he released this. Take into the fact that he started development on this way back when DoD hadn't even ended. Ok, he was able to focus completely on Midnight Desires only after DoD:TLM was finished, which happened in September 2019. So in 12 months or so he's given us a game with less than 50 animations and 1500 CGimages. Let's ignore the fact that he was earning more 12 months ago than he is today, his earnings over the period of time (till 0.5 release) has been 250,000$ or more! He lied by having to supposedly learn UNITY and then having the GARGANTUAN task of porting back to ren'py, so in essence 3-4 months of doing nothing. Then there was the lie of hiring people to help after he got a NEW OFFICE to work in.

Compare that to Icstor's 2000+ images and 60-90 animations per update, even if that takes 3-4 months usually (he was clear when he was taking a break). So as of Milfy City 0.5 there are 4000+ images and 250+ animations. Icstor's well and way beyond lewdlab yet so many haters, pessimists and critics for him. Barely a few for lewdlab.

P.S. I do like lewdlab, just believe he should have 1/4th of the patreons he has at the moment, for the quantity and quality of his updates. Totally overrated.
The writing, the story plan, the character profiles, character development and plot also not had nearly the same effort put in as DoD. He puts in H content he guesses will make money with no logic within story or the characters personalities which makes the MC not just a total dick but an inconsistent hypocritical dick. I still love his rendering but I quit Patreon because he simply not putting the work in and relying on the generated rendering.

I think I like Eliana more in this game, hope she is also a romanceable option, don't get me wrong both sis and mom are beautiful too but due to lewdlab previous game was heavily focused on incest content and this one looks like the same too.. I think other characters are not getting the desired affection and time, So keeping other options in mind if he can make more story towards them too then this game will definitely be one of the best.

PSA: I used a fresh save and you should too, older saves might be buggy. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The game also has a hidden karma system but as of version 0.5.0 none of the dialogue options make a difference.
green answer (good) = +1 point
pink answer (neutral) = 0 points
red answer (bad) = -1 point

There's is one known bug in v0.4.1 that will confuse A LOT of people, I've highlighted it in RED
Do NOT mess with console commands in this game or else you might get soft-locked

Have you read the README file in the .7z archive?
My savefile doesn't work if you haven't deleted both your own persistent files.

Alright, this game has improved a lot, since the Unity start, but it's still far off from the good old DoD.
For a sandbox game it's alright, but I wonder how I would feel, if I didn't have a walkthrough to spare me endless, needless grinding.

This simply is another case where so far at least, the same story could have been told with far less effort as a straight VN, but no, devs have to force sandbox on everybody.

I mean, yeah I get it. The updates to those games are usually way smaller so someone like Lewdlab who is really raking in the cash is basically getting a shitload of money for very little work.
I mean, he has a fucking team working for him, earning ten thousands of dollars a month and he offers what 5-6 scenes per update which amount to maybe 10 minutes of playtime, if the grind is removed?

That being said, as usual I love the ladies here. They are all great, with the teacher and the "landlady" leading the pack by far for me at least.

Still, I really expected better from Lewdlab, not because the quality of the game is bad (not any longer, thankfully), but because he earns a lot of money through this and what he does for it seems nowhere near worth those amounts.

I don't think, that you would rather have a 500 (or more) page rant about how Lewdlab is a scammer like in MC thread instead of a place where you can find Patreon updates easily.

Also, it's obvious, that a lot of people who supported DoD stayed as patrons. It's because they sponsor a creator, not a game. I agree, that with the money he got, he could maybe do better (meaning longer updates), but I don't know how much time do his renders and animations take. The quality can be compared to Philly's CoBD more than to Icstor, because the characters and the renders overall are more detailed than in MC. Philly makes longer updates, though, and more satisfying ones, and that's why he gets zero hate. I also don't think that MP is overrated. Look at the thread. Not that many people here care about it.

So, as I said, patrons sponsor the creator, because they liked DoD, and a lot of them would sponsor him no matter what he did.

P.S. I am not defending him, I am just trying to figure out why I think he gets so much cash even though he gives back much less than before.

I agree with you about the VN part. Look at Philly. Not to derail the thread, but he has the same quality renders in CoBD, but thanks to it being straight up VN, he gets way more done, and we get way more content in every update. I don't know why does Lewdlab still make such short updates, since he got everything back on track allegedly. Do they have still problems with coding or whatever? It just doesn't make much sense. Maybe it's also the effort put in the bonus/Elite content, that could have been put in an actual story scene? Or he got lazy?

eh, way I see it lewds doin fine, the format switch is big, and shouldnt be down played, lewds past body of work is enough for me to have faith going forward. As it stands the switch went pretty well, the amount of content per release doesnt concern me, the content size In DoD wasnt much different. The quality not quantity of his work is what intrests me, if you feel differently, I respect your view point, but we'll agree to disagree. Playing the long game here

I think the renders in this game are perhaps the best in any game....my main problem is the sound track in DoD was really good the moody music was really sexy and helped set the stage...the title screen music is actually awesome in midnight paradise , but other then that its so lackluster....I would rather he just took the same mysterious music from DoD and put it in MP...

If you have to wait, I suggest you have some fun. Give your ideas for the next Lewdlab games.
1) We play a boy who is the son of the US President. Marriage is in crisis, but it doesn't show it outside. Incest is a First Lady's generational disease;) Lots of political possibilities, journalism.
2) Ancient Rome and our family's updaker after the armed coup.
3) Events happen within one place and event. Holidays or wedding. Lots of aunts;)

Okay so I completely forgot to post this back when the patch was updated again, so for anyone still interested here's the latest version of the incest patch combined with heero000's original code from the name change patch.

As before you need to make sure you delete the numbers from the start of the file so it's just named zz_kill.rpy.

Then simply open in notepad or any text editor and replace the 2 instances of YOURNAME to whatever name for MC you want, save and put file in /game folder.

All credit for name change patch goes to heero000 which was first posted here.

My apologies for the lateness!

Patch for v0.5.1:
