MP - Development Update #40
Hey everyone
Just posting a quick update about what's been up lately.
We managed to find someone who will be able to do programming for Midnight Paradise long term. The new programmer can only start working next week though, so we still have a big chunk of work ahead of us. He's studying the code base of the game, and there's a lot to go over. I'll be working with him closely to make sure we can tackle everything.
MP isn't as simple of a project as DoD, so of course it takes a bit of time to adjust and get familiar with how the game was built so far.
I also managed struck a deal with a different coder who specializes in Renpy (the game engine Midnight Paradise uses) to build features as needed for MP. The first one of these will be a new phone system, maybe you've already seen something like that in other adult games. Work on this will also start next week, we'll see how long it takes to complete but it's not mandatory for the next release. If it's not done, we'll just put it in 0.16 Our designer (who made the new UI for DoD: DE) is already working on the user interface assets for the phone system.
The plan is that you'll be able to receive messages from characters and reply to them, get notifications to start a new objective (more in this in a second), check your morality stat and finally check the girls' stats. Oh, and of course with the phone you can receive nudes from the girls.
I always wanted MP to be more "modular" than DoD. What I mean is, adding some scenes or storylines at different parts of the game shouldn't be an issue. And while that was the plan, a long of things didn't go as I wanted at first, and the short term solutions got in the way of the long term plans.
The biggest criticism I receive is always - there's not enough sex. And I get that, I've been pretty scarce with that in MP, especially in the beginning.
With this phone system and some clever scene design, I'm planning to add quests or scenes into the earlier parts of the game. I know the long time players are always viewing games developed on Patreon from update to update and judging by that. However, on my side, I'm always looking at how it will all turn out at the end and what the finished game will be. At this point I'm just rambling - the main takeaway here is that I'll add more sex scenes to the earlier parts of the game based on the feedback.
I'm doing this in a way that it won't affect how you play the game, it will feel like regular new scenes if you've been playing along the updates.
On another topic, I finally got 2 doses of the vaccine. Been a little tired lately, not sure if there's a correlation, but otherwise I'm fine. I mentioned in an other post a long time ago that I'm learning new stuff. Stuff to make better games down the line. That stopped for a while, but I'm picking things back up. Hopefully I can keep doing it and improve my work in the future.
This post was a bit more chaotic than usual, sorry about that. I'll post additional info after the coding work starts.
And as always, thank you for your support! -Dr Sin

Next week the new programmer will start working, then XMas holidays, then some issues... End of January if we're lucky enoough.
As usual just my two cents, and I'll be gladly proven wrong by facts.

What happened to heavily focusing on 1 main girl? There's previews of Isabel, Ruby, Sofia and the asian chick.

Maybe he spent this extra time that he now has creating some additional content. Or maybe he realized that after almost a year of waiting there needs to be something more than just content for one main girl.
or he realized he can milk his patrons for another year 
He turned out to be a big SCAM like ICSTOR. shame

I repeat the some days ago myself quoting Aerosmith: "Dream on".
He spent last year, according to himself, on DoD DE, there's no way we'll have a decent amount of content for a year waiting. It'll probably be (decent) for a monthly or so update.

This was what Dr. Sin said, the usual average monthly release amount of content that MP has gotten before.

So there's no need to speculate on what he could have realized or not. What counts is what there will be, and we already know there won't be much.

So there is no need to speculate wether he has been just sitting on his ass these extra three weeks or not? If you think about it, it’s almost the amount of one updates development time that he could’ve squeezed in during that time, making the next one to be double sized while waiting the new coder. I think there pretty much is need to speculate about that, and if that is not the case, then speculate why that is not the case.

So one whole year and maximum two update! yea great year.
After reading this update I'm realizing Dr. PinkCake is a treasure not to be taken for granted.

lmao ahahahah D A T skills he got now ... well come on guys kill our last hopes hahaha no 0.15 till 2023
Having issues with the gallery. I'm planning on Android and seem to have reached the end of content but my gallery is still showing a lot of things blacked out and non-selectable. Joyce's gallery box still has question marks and is not even available to be opened. I can't figure out anything that I'm missing in current content that should keep that in that state. Any ideas on why this would be happening?
