Hello patrons,
yes you're reading right, the new Total Maidness! patron update is here.
It's also available to Gardener tier from the start to somewhat make up for the delay of GoV 0.5.
Anyway, you're probably curious what changes it contains, right?
In short,
All changes from the public update 0.99.5 that I uploaded on itch a moment ago:
5 new smaller chapter 1 character build-up scenes (2 for Leyla, 2 for Mary, 1 for Emily), to improve the overall build-up and bring those 3 more on par with Kate in that regard.
1 new slightly bigger (and naughtier) new chapter 1 scene for Emily (also part of the build-up for her relationship 2 scene)
improved the character sprites used in chapter 1
improved images and image transitions of the intro dialogue with Emily at the gate
improved character sprite usage in dialogue part of Emily's relationship 2 scene
remade graphics (especially animations) in Leyla's RS 3 / catch-up sandbox gym scene
a couple of bugfixes and typo fixes
Patron-exclusive additions:
Jenna's pool scene (added her as invite option)
Leyla's seduction scene (added her as option, might have to talk to Kate again to make her appear)
Jenna's seduction scene (added her as option, might have to talk to Kate again to make her appear)
"Finish outside" options added to seduction scenes of Kate, Iris and Emily
Ported down the mellow dream about Iris from Bedtime Stories
Upgraded Jenna Moist Memory 1 with the additional images and script from Bedtime Stories
Upgraded the build-up part of Lewd Lesson 2 (Cindy) memory with the additional images and script from the Bedtime Stories version
Minor improvements to "Lewd Lesson 1" and Leyla's dream/memory scene
v0.99.9 Downloads:
PC: Mediafire | Workupload
Android: Mediafire | Workupload
Mac: Mediafire | Workupload
Now you're probably wondering, "Why 0.99.9? Why not 1.0?".
3 reasons:
I want to port down at minimum 1 more scene from Bedtime Stories to TM 1.0, but that scene will be quite a bit more work to port down, plus I'd like it to stay Bedtime Stories-exclusive a little longer.
There are a few SFW additions I'm considering for TM 1.0, but I haven't decided yet and together with the Bedtime port, it would've delayed this release (and GoV 0.5!) if I went for that now.
Adding story scenes retroactively without breaking savegames is hard, so while I did test everything in principle, I cannot 100% rule out I missed some bug or other issue. I'd prefer those to be discovered before I call the game 1.0, if possible ^^
Basically, TM 1.0 will be the public version of 0.99.9, just with some more additions (and bugfixes, if necessary).
It's planned for sometime in middle of November, so not that soon.
Now some of you might wonder, "What about the other new scenes from Bedtime Stories?"
Well, that's always been a bit of a tricky topic.
One issue is that most of the Bedtime fantasies might be a little too spicy for the main game, so I'd probably only port the new memories and maybe 1 or 2 of the fantasies at most.
Another issue is: I want to stay below the default 1 GB filesize limit of itch if possible, and we're already pretty dang close, so adding all scenes from Bedtime Stories - or even just all new memories and 1 or 2 fantasies - would likely bring the game just a hair above the limit, which would create additional pain I just don't want to deal with.
Ultimately, getting all Bedtime Stories content in 1080p is currently only a 1-time 3$ extra for Lv3 patrons, which would also get you the TM KK cards.
Maybe I'll release TMBS (possibly without the fantasies part) for the lower tiers or public in the future, but I'm not sure yet.
In any case, for now you got a new TM version to play :)
