Thanks for the feedback (and the bug report, will be fixed in the next update)! We'll see about the jokes/memes, but keep in mind that the game is basically still in the introductions stage, there will be both funnier and kinkier scenes later.
Yeah, GoV is different, so it's fine if it's less to your taste.
We have another project coming soon that will be a bit more like TM at least in some regards, so I hope you'll at least continue following us and check that one out too, once it launches.
No plans for a TM2 at this point, sorry. Maybe in 2-3 years...
As for the bedroom, we'll put it on the list of possible future additions, but to be honest, right now we only plan to add maybe 3-6 more scenes to tie up some loose ends, and those are basically decided already (Leyla's and Jenna's seduction scenes, Jenna's pool scene, maybe 1 more dream and 1 or 2 more moist memories).
We already added way more stuff than originally planned, at some point we simply have to move on to the next project(s) for good.
The game has a "Skip to..." option in the main menu. Choosing to jump to one of the later entry points will also unlock any gallery scenes up to that point.
The unlocks are persistent, so once you've done that, you could continue playing from a different savegame (or even start a new game) and the scenes should still be unlocked.
No idea... honestly sounds like the itch app (assuming you're using that) being dumb about it, and misinterpreting the mediafire mirrors as "updates" somehow.
Might get 1 or 2 more updates at some point, but those would only fix some minor issues and fill a few remaining gaps (like seduction scenes for Leyla and Jenna), there won't be any more story updates.
I see, hm... In the current version, the only alternative would be to start a new game through the "Skip to..." from the main menu, where you can enter the story at a later point.
You could try that and start at the story point a little before where you currently are, although you may lose some stats and have to rewatch a few scenes.
We might add the ability to change your name anytime in a future update, but right now, I'm afraid the "Skip to..." is the only option if you want to replay as little as possible.
Not sure. You're right that it would technically make sense for there to be yuri couples (not just lesbians, but also bi girls that went for a hot girl over competing for some meh guy).
Anyway, if we go there, it would be later in development and only optional content.
Do the hints on her info/stat page say anything about the dungeon?
The option to ask her should be in the morning when she cleans your room, and in the evening when she's in her room, although some of the related options may only show up in one or the other.
Assuming you're far enough into the game, you need to go to the lobby entrance in the afternoon on a workday (when Abby is home from school and Claire is still at work, basically), there should be a question mark icon with Abby's head there, click on it to start her event.
Not necessarily, something like 1.1 is always possible.
But generally speaking, yes, we consider TM's development basically finished, apart from a couple more scenes we might add (and bugfixes if necessary, of course).
There are currently no plans for a "2nd part". Our next story project will have a completely different setting. Some maids may make an appearance in that game, but it's still going to be a different game.
But if we ever made a 2nd part of TM, we would probably want it to have better graphics and many other changes and improvements that would be really hard to do by extending the current game.
After checking the code, we're pretty sure the issue is that you've set the 'dream level' to the lowest setting, which blocks all optional dreams that aren't part of the story or needed to unlock the dungeon.
Setting your dream level to at least the middle option should unlock the option to think about her at night.
We'll update the hint in the next update to make that clearer.
Garden of Venus is essentially meant to be a different "world line" where things played out quite differently, so while the girls share looks and core personalities with their counterparts from previous titles, what's canon in Garden of Venus isn't canon in the previous smaller games and vice versa.
My Naughty Neighbor and Mia's Bad Hair Day were originally meant to be part of an episodic series of small 'Venus Stories' and play in a more 'normal' world than GoV. The focus of the Venus Stories was meant to be more on the girls and their (dirty) adventures, rather than some male protagonist, so pretty much a series of short and lewd kinetic Visual Novels that would've covered different kinks than GoV will.
We might revive the concept of the 'Venus Stories' one day, though we're not sure how successful the concept would be, since most people prefer the classic harem experience.
Very soon. Public 0.26 will come out as soon as patron version 0.27 is ready, which will take at most a few more days, but we're still trying to get it done this weekend.
Sorry, but that dryness is conceptually intentional, so don't expect too much. It's not really meant to be a dating sim or romance VN. That being said, at least Grace and Mia will get a little more build-up before going all the way with them.
