Just a little something I did for you guys, I'll also post a dev update soon so stay tuned!
With the proper lightning, the "big sis...ehm, roommate" model looks amazing. God damn, how can she look so good? :D
I hope the "dev update" will reveal the new "lil sis... er, roommate" model.

I'm certain the characters will look stunning, but seriously expect much more smoother animations from this new game. There are so many games around here that beats Dreams of Desire's 2 fps animations.

yeah, but lewdlab said there will be high quality animations in this one(one of the reasons it is taking so long) so you can expect some quality animation goodness!:p

HOLY SHIT!!! If every render in this game will be in this quality level then this *summer I will have one of the most amazing blast I've ever had. Ahahahhha.

*I'm busy in this year so I don't want to play it piece by piece and I will wait for it to be complete and play it when my busy time over.

Btw, the teacher is my favourite one so far. I can't wait what is in the store for her.

This game won't be completed in the summer ... at least not if you mean summer '19.

Did Dr. Sin say anything about how many episodes there will be and releasing time between them? :unsure:
Midnight Paradise will be a VN sandbox hybrid with an objective and quest system similar to Summertime Saga. We won't be seeing episodes like with Dreams of Desire and since they're also struggling a bit with the development of the game there is no way it'll be completed next summer.

You seem informed. Is not that by chance you already have a walkthrough? :rolleyes:

So won't it be released until 100% complete?

Not sure if you are serious or kidding :unsure: However here is the answer to your question:

Hey

Answers to some questions:
- Midnight Paradise will have a male MC
- MC will be attending college during the game
- MC won't be a dumb virgin boy
- MP in my original plans wasn't going to have family stuff, but I redesigned a lot to suit the fans' preferences
- Second character def looks asian. I didn't notice at first (tunnelvision) I wasn't happy with her anyways, you're getting a new one.
- Forget 1500+ renders as a first release. That's simply insane. This game is much more than the render count.
- MP will be a VN sandbox hybrid - a clearly laid out objective/quest system will move the story forward, but you will also have some side activities to do throughout the world (a bit like Summertime Saga) meanwhile to break up the constant story progression that DoD had - in my opinion it was a bit hard to keep up after an hour. There will be more info on this, but you know me, Patrons should know things first.
- Development time for a game like this with no prior experience in this type is through the roof. I want to make it right, so there's constant experimentation -> redesign -> experiment cycle. The first release has to set up a ton of stuff, but after that it will be a smooth ride till the end. I hope everyone can understand that. I'm starting to not take Dec 20 for granted, we'll see. Guess I'll die working.
- No DoD main cast will appear in MP

That's all the stuff I could remember.
Next time scan through the thread or use the search function, and search for post from Lewdlab for reliable answers.

Is the anti ntr crowd also versus gangbang style content? I really thought that was missing in DoD

Probably, its someone else touching their pixels after all
The horny horde already went nuts for the blowjob scene between Mom/Mrs. Turner and the publisher. Just try to image what wife/girl sharing could have cause. Have a look at Milfy City were High-tier patrons demanded a change in Carolines story, just because she talked a little bit about her ex-boyfriends. :LOL:

Those people are like cancer for every porn-developer. The Dev. should do whatever he likes and not what patrons 'dictate' him/her/them.

The Milfy City dialogues were badly thought out and made her seem like she fucked everything that moved, which wasnt the intention at any given point, so thats a terrible ass example.

The dev doing what he feels best is usually what gets the better results, except in some extrange cases, true.

I hope there won't be any magical object, hypnosis or something like these. I like it when there is conviction(corrupting?) and it is much more satisfying when there is consent of that specific target.

When there is hpynosis, magical object etc I feel like it is too easy and not satisfying usually.

And when there is a good process for that conviction path, it really gives a good accomplishment feel.

Midnight Paradise Development Update

Hey everyone,

So I wanted to tell you some details about Midnight Paradise and its development process.
As most of you know it's a Visual Novel - Sandbox hybrid.
It means you will be able to roam around the map and in different locations, like in the main home and various locations around town, but the story will progress the same way as it was with DoD. I think it's a good mix.
I've also thought of many great features to implement, I've talked about them in previous dev updates. I was actually overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I want to put in this game, so it being the hybrid game that it is, meaning it's not as linear as DoD is a great thing.
I want to focus on getting the core of the game right in the first release, meaning
  • navigating the map and locations - so you can visit the characters you like
  • the objectives system - so you can progress the story and unlock actions with the characters (more on this below) - This will be (mostly) the VN element of the game
  • the character interaction system - so you can talk to the characters, ask them about their backgrounds, opinions and perform different actions with them (this includes the sexy actions) which can be unlocked as you progress through the story and interact with them. I'm also planning to spice this up a little from the usual stuff you might have seen from other games:)
  • the time system - so you can have different phases of the day where characters will do different things depending on the time of day, for example, sleeping (if you played DoD, you know that's creeping around time)
I will also introduce a bit of responsibility to the main character in the first release.
He's a college student, and he has to keep his grades up, so he has to go to campus to study. Maybe even some private lessons? ;)
Getting good grades is hard work. Something our main character doesn't really like, so of course he will have to find a way to lessen this responsibility of his and still get that college degree.
I want to put a lightweight stat system in as well, but decided that it won't be in the first release, as I don't want you guys to focus too much on this aspect, I want you to just enjoy the first release's story and naughty fun, and slowly add more things to focus on later.
I also realized that trying to add everything from the get go would make the first few releases feel 'empty' because development time is spread across a lot of things at once, so I figured a good amount of story content at first is essential for you to enjoy this type of game even if it's a first release.
That's why this being a sort of modular game is great, because I can always put in some building blocks on the way and listen to your feedback about the game and add and tweak things accordingly.
I thought about having to start over from the beginning when something major gets introduced would be annoying, as one of the Patrons told me, so I'm building the game from the start in a way that already seen content will be easily skippable.
And of course guys, let me know what you think in the comments!


And as always, thank you for your great support!
