itch.io

From how it read, he is making games before MGI took place, and also games that take place where MGI left off. But i think they are all the novel type game? 

Which is where people are mad at and rightfully so. (I'm just viewing this from the outside looking in. I know that. Though I understand him, I still stand on the ground of, yeah you messed up.)

There is information elsewhere that he gives updates and is active. The game MGI is done as is. *With more stories being released in smaller settings*

The main issues: was  Patreon changing their tos and him not being able to have enough time.

(There was a lot of deserved back lash that he got and is getting. I usually take the side of the dev, especially because a small team or working alone. The issue I have hear is that he 100% needed help and refused. Which is his right, but it cost the game's 'life'.  Even though he gives updates, it does feel he took the money and ran sometimes.)

The things I quoted was just said this year by him. 

I'm not 100% sure, they might have it on their discord.

AH I see. Bit of miss info, Looked it back up. What is was that they(patreon) kept updating their policies, and eventually targeted Red because of the game. 

saying that, the money issue(s) from patreon is known problem as well. 

(just gonna lay it all out)
1. MGI was a big project. It was well funded, sadly and if I'm getting my stories straight patreon was well patreon. They wanted a huge cut and Red wasn't going to give in. I respect him on that.

2. This issue is tech grew faster than red could work.

3. (an offical statement "The story started in MGI Prologue will be expanded upon on different games that I've been working on.

 "MGI prologue was becoming too dated and development taking too long, so I decided to cut my losses and move the story to smaller, more manageable games.

The core story has been mostly unadulterated, but not all characters will get as much focus as it was originally intended, at least for now..."-Red ( Jan 2nd, 2024) There is more to this, but this is the core.

4.I'm not sure what he means by "cut his losses" As people would have 100% would have supported him. 

5.The other issue is his ego got in the way, I'm pretty sure some talented people were lined up willing to help. But he wanted to work on the game himself. I get it his story, his baby. I can respect it but it got the game killed. 

6. (3. continue)  
"Love;Again are visual novels focused on dating and ecchi rather than straight up hentai.

MGI Saga is focused on world building and tries to be more of a game than the other entries in the series.

I understand not everyone will like these changes, but it is what it is."- red (again more to this but this still another part to 3.)

--------------------------------

I'm not really sure what truly happened. I feel he honestly just lost his drive. He might be making more but sadly I feel that he did damage to his reputation. MGI as i said before was more or less the gateway for monster girls/hentai. Yeah it's a hentai/lewd game blah blah blah, but I am 100% certain it would been a staple of hentai games.  

Looking forwards to the next update.

I just want this game to succeed. There have been several nsfw games that have used actual models (so not 2d)  in the demo phase that have stopped being worked on or reworked into something lesser. 

I am rooting on  Anduo to be a freaking pioneer. (3rd Crisis  is also an amazing game of their's. Worth checking out)

Yo thanks for the update! Been wondering about this game. The game had a really weird comfy vibe to it. I can't exactly explain it.  v0.3 got me hooked. Love the art style too!

About AI
1. it's not the future that's just disrespectful to artists.
2. I also beg that you only use A.I. for those one time scenes. I dislike A.I as is. I don't keep it a secret. I think artists should be sought out and paid as everyone needs money/ jobs. HOWEVER, do to how it's being made I can understand cutting costs for certain scenes. 

Either way, I am hype for what's to come. Great work! 

I'm going to assume you mean Patreon and not Caribdis themselves. And that is not how it works, you have to spend money for them(Patreon) to make money. You can view like the first 2 -ish lines on the articles to at least know what the post is about without even paying a cent.
( Edit: Also note, Patreon is just one of the platform they use to make and fund the game(s) soooo)

Caribdis also post frequent updates to their discord server. On the  the last post made on 2/15/2024 0.7 is 89% done.  If I had to take a respectful guess I say within the next 3 months give or take it will be finish. That's depending on their schedule and any unknowns.  

Gonna be real for the peeps that want this to be released already(?)...criticizing that there is no word or that it isn't out yet?

-So if you make your way to click on that link called Patreon you might, just might get a Smmmmaaaaalllllllll gander that on Jan, 23th  0.7 for the subscribers got a sneak peak. 

-imo this game does have some pretty clean details and models. That ain't cheap or easy. (and that's not including the environment, clothing, and all the horrible coding (may Caribdis ever be having fun), etc that one has to do). Not to mention writing and animations.....

I guess what I'm trying to say is, "Let them cook"-  Lil B

Honestly I think it's best for the dev just to have tried to have people refunded and abandon the project altogether. As now he is moving to visual novels and making it a non(less of a) hentai game, which made MGI so popular. (it's was THE gateway game). 

In some ways the game is abandoned, as the new view for it is.. well stupid. (this is one of those time where you can say the dev screw up).  (fyi: even in AAA games we see thing. The idea of the players saying you gone messed up and things being changed is nothing new.. even for free AAA games)

-If you're not comfortable with making the style of game anymore cool and all good, but you can't just take the money you earned and decide "screw you", I'm doing this now. /it is highly unmoral ethic.

Edit: 1. Forgot to add this as its important: I'm not saying they're uncomfortable or there won't be any boobies. My point is rather this is what people were actually paying for. It's the cost of asking for money and wanting funded. If there wasn't money involve then personally it would be a different story. (above in the fyi part i said this happens even for free aaa titles... there is a huge difference in those titles compare to a project such as mgi)
------------------
The game in its hay day was gonna be an easy 10/10 game. Sad to see what become of it. 

BAHA it didnt trigger the first time. found it

Most likely will find it after I ask, but who do we ask about the location of dred Valley? 

So I am still waiting to be able to play v0.18 (respectfully of course). I love this game. I said it before Harem Hotel is way more than I thought it was going to be. I rather wait a whole other year to be able to play the next part then have it rushed.

Take the time you need. Honestly playing nsfw games is still weird to me, (i mean i get it), but still is just one of those things. However I have played a few and some of these worlds are amazing.

Anywho, take your time and keep on making amazing stories! Here is to a better year for all of us! cheers!

I can't seem to find the games launcher. (using windows)

Honestly been keeping my eye out on this game and was waiting for the  update. Feels like you took a real step backwards here after trying the update and the last update or just trying to drive down desire for the game.

Also am not a fan of changing the story. Always feels like a real crappy move to me when it happens. 

Developer vision is always important, but as a fan of another certain game (a big  mmo ish game on the normal market), even the developer story and vision can be wrong.

If this type of story telling is what you want to focus on all the more power to you, no doubt you will get support, but you 100% need to address the fans that have supported the rpg  styled gameplay. They deserve that.  Ripping that away is a real a-hole move esp if anyone have supported you with money. 

Bruh like I want more, but I don't want more. ya'know? Well done 10/10!

gawd, I want to say more but it will end up being all over the place. So to keep it short, I enjoy a game (esp a nsfw), where you can actually feel for the characters, (so they don't feel like objects or be more that flat.)

anywho, this is going to be one of those games I will always wish for more of but at the same time know it's not really needed. Thanks for this amazing game!

I think the best type of nsfw games are the ones you actually start giving a crap about the characters. It's a A+ game. I made a comment on another game couple  hours ago saying I have a love hate relationships with Novel Games because a lot of reading but great story.

This game started off as a , right into the action, to a shit, these characters give off those somber vibes, yet they also give off a warmth; ike just enjoy the moment while we have it type vibe.

(I know the game isn't finish yet, but I do hope we get to see more the characters real sides if that make sense. Options or just based storywise of getting to them better. Either way is really great. Be proud of yourself and take your time.)

Will say I am interested in where this game goes. I didn't read everything (as it's a lot for me), but I did try to fast skim everything.  (Novel games in general, I have a love hate relationship with because reading, but great story)

Anywho, though I can't support you with money, I can give my praises and many at that. Not only do you have a lot in here, it's just not thrown in. What started out as taking care of a hotel became so much more, and there is feeling. 

So excited to see more of this game, and please take your time.
