Zorlun, if you have time, you should add a funny meme ending, like the games from 20 years ago had in their secrets.

I thought of a short ending where Myriam is abducted by the Alien ship :alien: and taken away (only if Myriam has dreamed with them in previous chapters), THE END :ROFLMAO:.

What is the story? Is there a story? Where are we going? What is motivating our main character? We have already had 3 natural conclusion points come and go. This should have been broken up into multiple games. Then at least the aimlessness wouldn't be quite so obvious. If there is a story buried somewhere in the last 10 updates, it needs to kick into gear. Have Anthony escape bent on revenge. Have some sudden calamity rob her of her wealth. Kidnap her daughter. Just have something happen other than she leaves the house and gets fucked.
As a first game, Project Myriam is very experimental for me as I learned literally from scratch every aspect of developing a game, the story was never meant to be anything else that a light one, following Myriam on her exploration of her new life in a new place, as the full title literally imply Project Myriam - Life & Explorations.

That being said, if you dig a little, each chapter had a light theme with Myriam getting always one step deeper in her new life and freeing herself from her old one, with chapter 0 as the intro; chapter 1 exploring the setting; chapter 2 breaking with Anthony and her old self; chapter 3 rediscovering herself; chapter 4 building a new self; chapter 5 embracing her new life. Each chapter had its own little hurdle with a climax to mark a change in her life and mental. After that there still a full epilogue chapter coming with the endings, but no spoiler, it's coming soon (around summer).

All in all, nothing aimless, I have a clear view, but you can't force people seeing it or liking it and you're fully entitled to it. ^^

I thank you for giving the game a try and if you wish to stop the experience here, I understand, no point in forcing yourself if you're not having fun with it, I hope you can find a game out there to fulfill your needs, there's lots of them, or maybe you can even try yourself to create your own like I did, after all I started this adventure exactly because I wasn't satisfied and curious about the process. ^^

There will be some goofy and secret endings, some stupid ones have been planned for years. ^^
It's almost always been short updates (about a month) unless Zorlun says otherwise.
And now that the story is nearing the end, he's trying to wrap up the different endings with one or two scenes only.
Hope you understand..
Yes, I always was on a monthly schedule when things are normal, making it a 2 to 4 scenes update depending on the size of them, some times I merged 2 together to avoid cutting the rhythm of a scene or because of some irl events that would leave one month with very very short updates.

I understand the frustration of short updates, but between taking 6 months with bigger updates and 1 month with smaller ones, I preferred the later, due to my supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar, since they're giving support on a monthly schedule, it felt right to do the same.

But it's not always the best for me sometimes writing wise, as it can influence a scene to keep your schedule, though on another side it keeps you honest and have you working and deliver. I think for the next game, I might review a bit how I go about it (though always with my supporters opinion in mind).

Incest patch updated for 5.09+p below


As usual, caveat emptor (even if your are not actually buying anything :p :))

Mega

Please notice, the walkthrough mod and this patch are not compatible, because both modify the code. Also, the combined mod contains the full walkthrough, but not the full of the incest patch.

For the ones tempted to eventually complain about the insertion of incest by me in the game, please read the text below before making a fool of yourselves getting in all kind of rampages (and yes, it already happened in the past).

If you look at the posts going way back, you will see incest was in the game from the start, both Katherine and Marc were supposed to be children of Anthony and Myriam, who were married, and there was no Thomas.
Patreon intervened threatening to kill Zorlun's funding through them if he did not remove incest, and if he had anything to do with incest distribution anywhere - thus, he created a Thomas as father of Katherine that had never existed before, and made Myriam and Anthony not married, because Patreon had said that even "step-something" was not OK.

Zorlun himself had never foreseen for Katherine to get involved in all kind of sexual shenanigans like potentially her mother, but Patreon told him explicitly that even having Myriam and Katherine involved at the same time in some sexual act in the same room, even if not with each other, was not OK, so, useless to ask for Myriam to do "stuff" with Katherine, or for Katherine to do something with Marc, that is not going to happen (not only for Patreon, but as said by Zorlun, also for his choice).

So, I did put incest back on the table, but I did not create a new story, the main story line is the one of Zorlun.

I just put incest back in, while trying to keep a minimum of coherence (so, with incest, Thomas becomes the lost first love, Myriam can mention incest as a tabu kink with Dr Silver and look for "incest-themed" porn on the Internet).

That does not mean that there are not differences, but the main story is the same and the main choices and paths for Myriam are the ones by Zorlun.
This working for current update?

You're a class act. Honest, engaging, thoughtful, incredibly fair-minded and diligent. We need More people like you making games. (y)

I will freely admit to a myopic view of the game. Perhaps I am too accustom to heavy handed narratives. Having your chapters laid out for me reveals my misconception. Please don't take my criticism as anything more than an uninformed opinion.

See the post in the previous page about the update to 5.11 for the patch. Technically, it works, but if you use the incest patch for 5.09 with 5.11, you will not be able to see the content added up with 5.10 and 5.11, although the images will still be there.

You didn't follow installation instructions.
Everything from the mod must remain in bibifoc folder.
I just realized when I went back looking at the gallery mods that you have typed beside the game's version, "compatible with later versions." It makes some people think that the mod can be used for future updates. You should correct it by saying, "compatible with Earlier versions." That should cut at least 20% of the questions about the updated mod.

Don't get your point. They are compatible with later versions.
I don't know which question could be avoided :unsure:
- update questions are asked because stuff need to be added to the gallery
- error questions are asked because people don't read instructions

Nothing would change :unsure:

Just doing my best to stay as communicative as I can be, but thank you, it's always nice to hear. ^^

There is no problem, as long as people stay polite I have no problem communicating and you do not have to apologize for your opinion, people do not have to like my game or share the vision I tried to put into it (I of course definitely prefer people enjoying the game, but everyone is entitled to their tastes). ^^

Funny thing I learned with my background as an artist before going to the naughty game development, you can say all you like about a piece of art you produce, people will only ever see what they want and can, you can guide them some time to your vision, but you can't force them to see what you want (and honestly should not, no one enjoy that).
