Hello everyone! I have lots of exciting news about MM! 🚀

I've been very quiet despite resuming development after a two-year hiatus, and I want to start by apologizing for this sporadic communication, but it was for a good reason.

I chose to fully focus on development, only announcing what's next once I felt I had delivered work of satisfactory quality.

SUMMARY :

- 📅 Announcing version 0.3 and the final version

- 🔧 Developing my own framework

- 🎮 Engine update and Android support

- 💰 Thoughts on free access and the business model

- 🙏 A big thank you ! And screenshots :3

📅 Announcing version 0.3 and the final version

I am happy to announce that the next update, version 0.3, will be available this Friday, March 1st !! ( 01.03.2024 )

I'm so excited to finally deliver it :)

Moreover, for those among you waiting for the final version of Marvelous Maid before playing, it will be launched at the end of August 2024.

This doesn't necessarily mean there won't be bonus updates to add animated scenes for fun, but the narrative arcs will be completed by that date.

🔧 Developing my own framework

I developed my own framework for hentai games, where I previously used Fungus (an asset/framework for visual novels on Unity).

This significant step greatly accelerates development because I am literally the one who coded the tool I use.

I am certain it will be cost-effective in terms of dev time in the long run, even more as it may serve for future games.

🎮 Engine update and Android support

Another important news : I've updated my engine to use a version of Unity that supports multiple different platforms.

This update allows Marvelous to be available not only on Windows, Mac, and Linux but also on Android !

Those who always ask for the Android version will be happy :D

I will probably have to address some performance issues to adapt the game for mobile, but from what I've tested, I should be able to do this quickly if players encounter too many issues.

Just... pleeeease... don't spam me that the game doesn't run if you try to launch it on a flip phone from the Cold War era xD

- I'm joking. Always feel free to give me feedback and report issues. I love getting a feedback, even when it's a negative one ;)

💰 Thoughts on free access and the business model

Now let's address a delicate topic : the cost of development.

My ideal would be to make Marvelous Maid free, so that the greatest number could enjoy it and share their feedback.

However, the economic reality of video game development is that it's quite expensive. I am not looking to make Marvelous Maid a great economic success, I just make my hentai for the fun of it, but I would like the game not to cost me more dollars than it brings in (it's going very badly so far xD).

That's why I am considering offering two versions of Marvelous Maid :

- a free version (public version)

- a paid version (supporter version)

The paid version would include an exclusive narrative arc and would be available on Itch.io and patreon. I will stay a "bonus" version, most of the content will still be in the free version.

However, if I want to release a paid version on Itch.io, it's mainly because I am not very comfortable with Patreon, which takes a large part of the supporters' donations through numerous taxes.

I prefer Itch.io for its flexibility regarding revenue sharing and the possibility of paying one time and having access to the priviledges forever ^^

Upon the release of the final version in August, the public and supporter versions will merge into a single final version, offering everyone the complete Marvelous Maid experience.

I would like the final version to be free because I want as many people as possible to play it and share their opinions on the game.

If, because of the need to eat (a classic human issue), I decided to make the final version a paid one, then everyone who took the supporter version would not have to pay anything more to play the complete experience.

In any case, I will leave a free demo that contains the majority of the game, or at least a very large part of it.

🙏 A big thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has supported the development of Marvelous Maid, this new project as well as the old one, whether it be through donations on Patreon or by giving feedback on Itch.io.

I also sometimes read posts on F95, but if you want to be sure I read you quickly, the Itch.io page of Marvelous Maid is the best place.

Your enthusiasm and your feedback is what made me want to restart this project instead of launching a new one.

... There was also the desire to make my own hentai with my own maids, I admit.

Stay tuned for future updates, and thank you for reading this post !

I'll leave you with some screenshots of the new scenes, at the risk of spoiling a bit :

- 1 : You can see the new design of Violet, begging no to get spanked :

- 2 : Reworked the UI in the spank scene + new dialogues and outcomes :

- 3 : The missionary scene with Violet, featuring both penetration and foreplay. I made it like it was in the first MM project, with a very painful first time but then very pleasant missionary sex for her when you repeat the scene :
