As I publish more demos and other projects, my developer page is getting a little crowded and potentially a little confusing, so I'm condensing all the Maids & Masters extras into a single page. To explain what is what, you'll have this dev log to refer to.
The main project here is Maids & Masters: Arrival. It's available as both a Windows and Mac version, and serves as a short (20-60 minutes depending on how thorough you are) prequel to the main Maids & Masters game. This is the one you can carry your file forward from to get a couple of bonuses in the main game.
Arrival VX Ace is the original project that kicked off Maids & Masters, and is mostly here for posterity since it's the first thing I ever made as a game developer. It barely works, has a lot of placeholder assets, has less of a sense of progression, and is generally barely-working, but if you'd like to check it out just to see how far I've come, you're welcome to.
Maids & Re-Masters is my first April Fool's project, inspired by all the terrible feedback I got over the course of the first stretch of development that was either entirely unhelpful or completely missed the point of what I was trying to accomplish. It's also made in RPG Maker MV, which is the first (and will likely be the only) time I've made a solo project in that version of the RPG Maker engine.
Maids & Re-Masters MZ is the second April Fool's project, inspired by a whole year's worth of terrible feedback and the fact that I was now able to work in the (at the time) newest version of the RPG Maker engine, which allowed me to test porting the game and its assets forward. It's considerably dumber than the first Maids & Re-Masters, and in slightly higher production value.
Any future side projects, bonuses, April Fool's gags, and so on that aren't a part of the main Maids & Masters game will end up on this page with a dev log announcing it, and how it fits (or doesn't fit) into everything else will be edited into this dev log.
