MP Development Update #35 (Patreon)

Hey everyone

It feels good to be back in business!
I'll cut right to the chase.

Working on the next Midnight Paradise release right now, which will drop this month.

I'm going to be changing a few things going forward. We are at a point of the story with the girls where I can move on with the Main Story "independently" from Connor's relationship with the ladies.
Now what this means is, from 0.14 onward, the Objectives will be independent from each other. Meaning you won't have to advance the plot with Joyce to get Ruby's next scene, for example.

So in a way, fully completing the girls' objectives will be optional. Think of it like Mass Effect 2 and the crew missions. You can choose not to do them, but it will heavily affect the ending(s) and of course you'd be missing out on some great content.

This change is needed because this way I'm not limited to advancing the plot and forcing some unnecessary (from the main story's perspective at least) romance on the way.
This also means if you don't really wanna get too close to a character from here on out, you can choose not to. This will affect the endgame, but it might be interesting to see what happens if you neglect some characters' objectives.

Just to reassure you, if you want to see all the content - you don't have to worry. You can still see everything, but probably in a more organized way that makes more sense. Win-win.

Now let's talk about planning. I've been doing that a lot lately. When I was out of commission for a while I couldn't do much else. So lately I've been meticulously planning and outlining all of the scenes in Midnight Paradise. The way I've been doing this before is I had the general direction we were going and key scenes in place, but still had to spend a considerable amount of time arranging things and planning for each release.
Once I'm done with the "Master Plan" that's no more. Which is a great feeling:)
Means I can just jump from scene to scene and make them faster.

And man, there is a lot of ground to cover! I'm really happy with these plans and I think it's going to be great content for you guys.
You are getting character routes and more decisions, so that means things can go multiple ways with the ladies, so the goal there is to add some nice replay value and of course allow you to have the kind of relationship with the girls you want.

Alright, that's all from me for now, the previews are coming so stay tuned!

And as always, thank you all for your huge support!
