In anticipation of the new release, I've been going through MNF 1, and I've just spotted something I missed before: in a scene where the gingers are playing pre-sleep dress-up, they choose a more SF route, with Sandra in a catsuit unzipped down the front. More pertinently, she is holding her hand in a manner that reminds me of the Babymetal 'fox salute'. Does Sandy have a favourite genre?

Mmm - we like girthy.

I don't know about anyone else, but with a lot of AVNs and the like, I tend to wait until there have been two or three updates. That way, the story immersion last longer, feels better. There are only a couple of exceptions to this rule for me; any game/AVN where the plot is secondary to the ... er... fun, and those like WCA where updates are generally pretty meaty.

I can't see why not - and there have been subtle implications to that end.

He has to, otherwise using the 'correct' term would trigger Itch's 'no relatives' policy. Yes, it's weird, and he has said as much himself, but if we want MNF on here, we have to put up with it.

Super stoked for MNF2. Might be a little time getting to it, as I'm giving myself a refresher on the OG game.

Regarding the greying out of character boxes, and Galka's relatively difficult box colouring, maybe have a coloured/textured border to denote status? I suggest a texture in case people have a colour blindness (admittedly a larger issue in any case).

Oh, and this is the first chance I've had since the new update... River! Whaaaat!? Insatiable River is going to take a little getting used to - but hopefully it'll help keep that arsehole Willy off her back. Hopefully.

I always feel sorry for people whose birthday falls on Feb 29th. Bad enough they have to work things out constantly, but I imagine that it's a nightmare when it comes to legal paperwork and IDs. River's got enough problems as it is (fuck Willy with a rusty pipe). 

I almost hope there won't be any sexual shenanigans with her, it feels almost like a protective big brother vibe at the moment; all I want to do is give her a cuddle, sitting on a sofa, just chilling and listening to music - maybe watching a lava lamp - until we drift off to sleep...

>ahem< Projecting much there, Spike?

Good to hear from you; I didn't see a post from you last week, so I was a little concerned for you. It may have been just me not looking hard enough, though. No biggie.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

The problem's not with you, mate. Ultimately, it's that git who got you in trouble to start with, and since then, it's been The System. Because of all that, everything has been fragmented and has played hob with scheduling. If it had all gone as planned, you'd probably have been well into the original plot for MNM, and all of us would be happy. As it is, we have had to be satisfied with stopgap measures of one sort or another.

Is it frustrating? Of course it is.

Is it your fault? Of course it isn't.

Ultimately, you are doing this for free, unless people decide to give you some money. You could have set it so that everyone had to pay, but you didn't (and I'm thankful for that, believe me). Anyone that has issues with you is being both unfair and insensitive toward you. You are doing what you feel is the best you can under circumstances which are a) beyond your control and b) largely unknown. You're playing poker where the dealer is handing you blank cards, and you're still managing to think of us before yourself. I know you like to keep busy and productive, but please be a little easier on yourself.

Peace.

DEFINITELY looking forward to MNF2. I think HS2 would be a good evolution to take.

6 years? Wow! Congrats on still going!

For me, the main difference between MNF & MNM (apart from the central character's role) is that MNF seems to have a lot more in the way of banter; the characters all like to gently roast each other.

Noooooooook!

Nice! I hope it goes well for both of them; it was her sister who is/was the real monster.

Huh. That last picture looks courtroom-ish... is our resident psych patient finally being dealt with?

So close - I almost share my birthday with one of these lovelies.

I'm probably late or wrong with this, but I was thinking about MNF recently - specifically when Maddie had that competition. For some reason, the organisers decided to change the format, and the other night I suddenly thought, "duh - they recognised Maddie's ability and changed it. Not to stop her winning, but so that she didn't accidentally cause serious harm." 

Kinda makes me wonder if there are non-family people that know or suspect something of the family secret...

I've said it before, and I'll say it as many times as is needed: you are dealing with a shitty situation, and doing a bloody good job of it, all things considered. You have identified an issue (task burnout), and you deal with it correctly, by leaving that suddenly unpleasant task and working on something else, so you remain as fresh as possible.

That said, I have to admit that hearing of a release for MNF2 in the next few months (December counts, right?) has me stoked. MNF1 was our first introduction to this little world, and quite apart from the next generation, I'm really really keen to discover more about how and why the family seem to have unusual qualities.

You see it, though, right?

It'll be nice to get rid of that bugger for good.

Interesting... having seen Gillie without her makeup for the first time, I had to sit and think of who I was reminded of. It took me a while, but then I got it - Karen Gillan (Doctor Who & Guardians of the Galaxy). Maybe it's just me.

Personally, I quite liked the Honey Select 2 visuals in Eternum. While I think it would be nice to have updated visuals, I'd say that anything other than a version of HS would be too jarring of a change.

You were ill.

That is not failing, in any way, shape, or form.

Shit has been hard for you for quite some time now, and that's something we all understand. These weekly updates are already above and beyond what a lot of content creators do, so to achieve this whilst being ill is a genuine feat. You are amazing.

:-)

Oh, yeah...  Nook...

I'm always impressed at how you have managed to make goblins, one of the most maligned fantasy races, cuter than kittens.

Holy crap, dude - that was a powerful section! The first two trials were legitimately creepy AF.

Loving the prequel! I must admit, I was a bit wary of the idea of it, but I think you written it well enough that it works perfectly.

Nice work - especially the twist for the last run through.

Congrats on the anniversary! 

I joined the journey partway through MNF, and I've enjoyed every line since then. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: in the AVN field, there are two or three writers setting the gold standard for world building and character development - Killer 7, Talothrel, and Victor Seven. Replayability is one thing; and you can tell that damn officer this, but the mark of a great writer is when you find yourself skipping the adults scenes just to enjoy the story. I know, I know. What's the bloody point of the sex if I'm just gonna ignore it? Well, if others like it, fine, but I'll enjoy the story my way, TVM.

Here's to plenty more years, and to calmer seas.

Woof! That was a great episode!

It was nice to see bits come together that seemed to be on separate paths, although I am now very worried about Saarya. You have a wonderful knack for world-building and character creation.

Oh. My. F***ing. Gods.

I've just started a playthrough of what there is so far of My New Memories.

He's just gone into the library to look up some details about his life, and the computer screen has the front page of a newspaper showing.

I've just seen the name of the newspaper.

You sneaky, sneaky bastard.

Much as we appreciate the updates (and believe me, you're a lot more vocal than many more ... 'productive' people), please take time for yourself. I've had COVID myself, and it's certainly no laughing matter, so don't feel bad about not being able to do anything. We can wait.

Quick thought - I'm playing through again, and just reached the part where MC accompanies Druthari to the dorms for the first time. In that scene, she is introduced to the concept of martial arts, forms, and sparring.

Are you planning on following on that idea? If so, would there possibly be some interaction with Jade? I mean, since Jade is female, Druthari might be able to concentrate more...

Makes sense to alter your definition of the game/story. I've always felt it is a visual novel first, porn second situation.

That guy sounds like a cocky little git. Hopefully, that will backfire on them spectacularly. Of course, what we're all really hoping for is for a positive end for you ASAP.

I think it's absolutely astonishing you still manage to make these posts in the face of all the crap that you're struggling with. Many lesser mortals would have given up by now. Kudos to you, sir.

Good luck for your hearing - although I reckon you'll be absolutely fine in any case. Just concentrate on being ok in yourself, we can wait for any updates.
