I kind of forgot.

Although it's in part because I was unsure about it, since I'm a little embarassed about the old Halloween specials nowadays. They're not bad (I think...), but not on the level I would've liked them to be.

Well, I'll update the project cover and page color scheme to a fully Christmas one in December, I'll also add it back to the projects section then.

Hello, and thanks :)

Let me put it this way: Although I know it's not the same as continuing TM itself, you might be positively surprised by my next project :)
It's planned to launch in a few weeks, so not much longer.

I genuinely feel sorry about that :´)

I'd really like to continue this too, but it always takes me some time to mentally switch gears between projects and I never had enough time and mental breathing room to get back into this one...

The book logo is also used for some scenes when they are played for the first time.
The dream scene was just added in this latest 1.0 update, it is possible there is no hint about it in Iris info.

What device are you playing on?
On PC, normally this shouldn't happen...

On Android, I'm afraid uninstalling could be the problem.
It would have been better to simply update by running the apk without uninstalling 0.25.6.

Keeping just the savegame from 0.25.6 alone isn't enough, you would need to back up and copy over the 'persistent' file as well.
What might work is to use your save from 0.25.6, and a late-game persistent file from someone else. That might unlock some gallery scenes too early, but otherwise could work.
I'll upload one on our discord help channel, maybe it helps.

That will continue to get updates too, although the dev team behind it will change (I'll still be part of that team for now though, just not as involved as before).

Thanks, glad you like it ^^

It's just for flavor and gets updated after the chapter 2 epilogue scene.

Relationship rises automatically when you do their story events (follow the story hints on their character info page).

Story-wise, this was basically complete with 0.99, yes.

But after releasing 0.99, I felt like adressing some issues with the early-game story, which I did in 0.99.5, and then decided to add the last few sandbox scenes on my ToDo list now, instead of "at some later point in the future".
But it's now considered fully complete, there probably won't be any more updates after this.

It has cheats on the laptop in the room of the main character.

It's there now, I just put up the downloads first :)

No, it'll stay completely free. It's just that with version 1.0, it's considered completed.

I see... yeah, that was definitely a bug, then.
The changes I made for version 1.0 to make it autosave more often seem to fix that too, though.

So, next public update should fix this.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

OK, I thought it was every time change, but it only autosaves on the night-to-morning transition right now.

Will be changed in next update to autosave on every time change + when quitting the game.

Soon(tm).

No exact date yet, but within the next 2 weeks.

Hm... it's supposed to auto-save on every time change, at least.

I'll take a look if that part is working as intended.

The second ep is a separate download further below (Mia's Bad Hair Day).

For cheats in Ep1, I think it was under extras, not sure right now.

No plans for that, sorry.

I can completely understand that people are asking about it, but depicting minors in adult games (even in a wholesome context) is already an issue and the rules of platforms on adult content will probably only get stricter from here.

It's unfortunate, but just not worth the risk.

Hm... I'll check, could be I forgot to consider the option when displaying that info.
If yes, it'll be fixed in the next public update.

That really depends.

In principle, none of the individual steps are that hard.
Koikatsu is relatively easy to use (though it's important to have most standard community mods installed), Ren'Py is relatively easy to understand (at least the basic stuff), and there's enough decent free2use music and sounds out there.

But if you want to stand out from the rest of the games out there, your game needs to be above average at least in some areas, and that's the hard part, because getting to that level in KK takes some time, and depending on what the game is about you may need to be good at scripting and writing, too, and both the number and average quality of games with KK graphics is constantly rising.

So, making some small game with just basic scripting and average KK graphics?
Easy, I'd say.

Making a game that's good enough to gain a solid level of support on patreon, and then keep up or increase that support level?
Much, much harder.

You mean Emily?

You have to do the 2 D style with Emily, then you should be able to call Leyla for help on Emily's options.

Exhibitionism can be increased in chapter 2 with certain sandbox scenes.

Maidness is more a story trait and is increased in a late chapter 2 story scene.

Yes, sorry...
Something similar was once planned, and maybe it will still happen one day, but... that would be in either a TM 1.1 update many months away, or in a TM 2.

But I can't guarantee either, as for now I want to focus on a new game, my brain needs a break from TM, sorry 🥲

Hey,
there's no money in the game, only stats, and there's a cheat console for them (on the laptop in the protagonists' room), if you find the points-grinding a bit too tedious.

I probably won't go past 1.0, sorry.

Although either in Nov or December we're going to launch our next main game and some of the TM girls will appear, and that game will also have far more outdoor locations, so... maybe that helps? ^^

It won't be that big, since the game is already considered pretty much complete.

But TM 1.0 will come out in November, just can't say for sure how much new content it will have (but there will be some).

It's so mesmerizing, could watch it all day... none of the similar covers out there even come close. 

Hat's off to you!

Yes, there should be a "saves" subfolder in the old TM installation on your laptop (TM folder -> game -> saves).
just copy that to a usb-stick and put it in the same relative location of your new TM installation.

Make sure to copy over the entire saves folder though, including the 'persistent' file.

The transition is going to be a bit awkward, but once TM's development is over (which is going to be soon), any lewd projects will eventually be filed/listed under OCNX Games only.

Basically: If you only really care about the naughty games, following OCNX Games instead is the way to go in terms of news/updates.

As time goes on, the only reason to follow both would be if you're interested in SFW and "a bit suggestive, but not explicit" games as well, as these kind of projects may still get released under my old OnionCuttingNinja account.

Explanation:
Having both SFW and NSFW projects on the same account is both a bit awkward and could also eventually put the monetization of SFW games at risk, so I want to 'clean up' my old OCN account (in hindsight should've make this split 1-2 years ago, but oh well).
Besides, the older sfw games are entirely my work, while on TM and GoV, xtone has done some of the heavy lifting on the code side and contributed some writing here and there, so 'OCNX' is basically the team name for the main nsfw projects now.

Do you mean 0.24?

That doesn't have pregnancy yet, the next public update (public release of 0.26) will be the first public version with pregnancy.

Not at all, sorry.

Once a maid is impregnated in 0.26, she gets one 'future' scene 6 weeks after impregnation, and one future scene 6 months after impregnation (both through the 'Carnal Crystal').

The pregnancy part basically ends with them having a visible belly in those crystal scenes.

I understand that some players would like us to go beyond that, but we have our reasons why we'll leave it at that for the forseeable future.

If everything goes well, 1st or 2nd August.

If you're on PC, they should be right in the main folder where the .exe is.
I haven't done any customization on the screenshot code, so there should be no difference to other games made with Ren'Py.

It's just a short dialogue that should play automatically in her room if you visit her after reaching relationship 5 and having seen the dream.

After that short dialogue scene, you need to go to the basement in the morning.
Provided it works as intended, the hints for optional content on her info page should also tell you what to do next, though it depends a bit on whether you've already cleared any "higher priority" side content before the dungeon hint shows up.

If this doesn't help, you could try uploading your savegame on our discord so we can check whether or not there might be a bug.

The Special contains just the Halloween and Christmas specials from 2022.

I just split them off to a separate special to keep the download of the main game smaller.

Well, the setting and world a game plays in is of course always a matter of taste, so there's no 100% guarantee you'll like it as much as TM.

But for me, one reason why I want to make that new story game is that TM's fairly "slice of life" setting doesn't leave me nearly enough creative wiggle-room.
Originally, this was only meant to be a simple practice project to get better at game development before going for a more ambitious project.
I just kinda stuck with it for way longer (about 18 months longer...) than originally planned ^^'

I added Mediafire mirrors, in case the problem is with itch's server.

If it helps: I have plans for a more story-focused game where some of the TM girls will play a role as well.
