We do plan on adding something like that at the end yes! We also have plans and ideas for an infinite level, or a level where you can pick which enemies should spawn yourself!
I really appreciate the support guys, please understand we really are working something out at the moment. The free version of Max the Elf will hopefully return on Itch when ready. Sorry for the current technical difficulty.
Thank you! I'm not sure I understand your question. We're working on implementing the new movement animations for Max, and we plan to release that update in September on Patreon for testing first.
If things work out and we're happy with the fixes and potential bug-fixes as well, we will probably be ready to release an update in October on Itch. Sorry for the delay, there are some things we that have priority this month.
The art/animations are drawn in a pretty small resolution, so zooming in will indeed reveal some pixelation. Sorry but there's not really a way to fix it, none of my art is made with vectors or rigging.
It could be that something is preventing the file from being downloaded, maybe it's blocked by an antivirus or antimalware extension? It happens that it recognizes an unkown .exe in the Rar and classifies it as malware and blocks the download.
It's not something new I added after getting suspended on Itch:
The Patreon release/version has always been the newest update. It always gave early access and gives more rewards than here on itch. The support price/tier on Patreon always existed already.
I'm still waiting on a reply on my ticket about the game, and I've had some contact with Leafo the site owner. But from the list of suspended games, it seems my ticket is not very high up the queue, or they are ignoring me while figuring out what to do. It's not looking good I guess for Max the Elf on Itch.
Even if I can't get back on itch, I will keep working on the game. You can see my updates on my Twitter/X page https://x.com/HoodieDraws
Besides that the game is still available for download on my Patreon page like it always has been. I always posted early access updates on Patreon on the €15 tier. If I can't get back on Itch I might make a new tier with the public demo. An older demo is also up on Newgrounds still.
Thank you for the kind comment! I think you mean to ask when the newest version (now v5.12 with Fae in the gallery) will be public and free? It's gonna be hard to put an estimate on it, I'll be working on level 6 for a while, probably after at least 3 or 4 enemies are done. I'm guessing somewhere near the end of the year.
Hello, thank you for the kind comment and feedback. The red FemSlime only used to spawn naturally when there were only 4 enemies in the level. (to make it feel less empty). But it was not our intention to have the slime spawn from behind once the remaining enemies were added (Angel and SuccuVick).
Now the Slime only spawns as a mechanic with the trigger plate. Otherwise we think the level would be a little too cluttered, and we had issues with the "enemy from behind" warning notification if both the FemSlime and DD spawn around the same time.
I will be working out the story more once the core gameplay and levels are finished, especially need to work a lot more on the introduction. I also have cool ideas for a monster/character book, where you can read about the enemies. But this will all take time, probably will be working on level 6 for the next many months.
Thank you very much for the kind comment! After Max the Elf is done, I do think I will continue working on more stuff including cute elf boys in Hoodies, and Max is such a big character now for me that I won't abandon him anytime soon! I have ideas for a 2nd game, it will stay 2D since that's where all my skills have been developing and improving.
I hope to improve on the gameplay a bit on these areas: better level design/platforming, status ailments/effects, better controls for Max/player, maaaybe a hint of an inventory system and leveling system. But I won't say more than that, it's all very early still. Probably will keep working on Max the Elf for another year at least with the plans I have left.
The eggs are still growing. I did do a little update just now with two more horny succubus boys added to level 5! We are further in development as well on patreon, the latest release there has the full Fae boss-fight with 5 unique attacks and grab animations.
1. It depends on the size of the update usually, but in general it takes me about 1 year to finish an entire level. Some months progress is slower (like the summertime right now). But I'm back at it, and we expect an update with the gallery for level 5, and 2 new enemies soon (a few weeks)
2. Most of it is femboy, not futa, but futa is fun too. There will be some extra content after level 5 yes, a bossfight, a redo of level 1, a hardmode and infinite mode, and maybe a level 6!
3. Max is a femboy, most of the characters are. they're just very girly boys.
4. I get my support on patreon, and since I am fairly well known the support is very good, I appreciate them all very much, supporting on patreon gets you in the discord as well and I try to keep a positive vibe in the community there as well!
5. Thank you! And why worry about it, they're cute and they're sexy!
