Midnight Paradise 0.18 - Development Update



Hey everyone

The 0.17 release was a success, there were only a couple minor bugs which we fixed in the first few days after the release. It was a big update for the game which added thousands of renders and almost two hundred animations with lots of dialogue and new new systems in place.
That said, we are working on the next one, the 0.18 update.
This will be a much smaller update, but it will take much, much less time. I don't wanna spoil anything, it's better you get to experience it first hand pretty soon.
Stay tuned.

Midnight Paradise 0.17 Coming Next Weekend

Quick Info



Hey everyone,
As the title says here's some quick info about the progress.

What's being done:
Right now we are finishing up writing the remaining scenes. The amount of dialogue in this update is fucking nuts. 3 people on the team writes various amounts of scenes and don't worry, I'm writing the least amount.
I've finished the renders and animations I needed to make for the scenes. And holy shit it was a LOT. But I'm happy to say, it's some of my best work, ever.
I have a couple more days of writing left to do, and in the meantime, the others on the team are starting to test - which will take some time because of all the new content and systems we are putting in. A lot of the back-end is reworked. And unless we set everything up perfectly the first time, we'll have to iterate and optimize, especially the Affection Point system (not grindy but not meaningless).

What's left to do:
I'm adding chats/events to the in-game phone to make it a core part of the game. By my current estimates, it will go over 100 chats, where in some of them you'll also get some pics from the girls. Once Risael has enough time he will help out if I'm too slow with this, but I think I got it.
I need to do the usual QA pass on the renders and fix the ones that are wrong, same with the animations.
I need to make some additional renders that are needed for some of the new features the other members of the team implemented. (These are really just a few, don't panic.)
And again, testing, testing, testing.
But man, I'm excited, we're so close now!

Midnight Paradise 0.17 Last Preview



Hey everyone
As promised, a set of preview images are here from the upcoming 0.17 release of Midnight Paradise.
If you have been wondering why I haven't posted for a long time, it is because of the mean spirited comments.

For those people, let me just say this: You don't know how long it takes to make a game, even if it's a simple one like mine. You have no idea how much work goes into this. I haven't been slacking off. Everyone on the team works hard to put out this huge update. Posting updates and getting comments like that makes me not want to post updates.


Now, about the release, we are over the 2 000 renders mark, over 130 animations, and (as you can see from the previews) Ruby's storyline will progress significantly as promised, not just the sandbox stuff.
This is where her routes will fork, based on your actions and choices with her throughout the game.
I tried to make both routes equally hot. I think I managed to do that.

This is the last set of previews before the release. 50 preview images altogether for 0.17, All different scenes. And of course there is stuff I haven't shown here.

Well, I'll see if I'll have some time tomorrow to make a render for New Year's Eve, but if not, well, I hope you'll have a Happy New Year!
-Dr Sin

Merry Christmas (Public Version)



I hope you guys are having a fantastic holiday season this year.
(Patreon is auto-flagging this post as nudity, but being a sexy, busty MILF in lingerie doesn't make it nudity. Bad bot.) For the actually unclothed version, see the patron only post.

After Christmas I'll do a development update post.
Until then, have some eggnog (do people still do that?) and I'll see you next week.

Midnight Paradise 0.17 Preview 23


I heard you guys like tits!
Finally will come a point when Isabel won't just send you away when you talk to her in the bathroom.
And of course the obligatory sunbathing scene. That's a big event, renders in 3 digits for that one.
Have a great weekend and see you in next week's post!

Taking a quick peek while becoming one with nature is totally okay, right? Meditating is all about awareness and focus after all

Midnight Paradise 0.17 Preview 21


That dick won't just stay between her asscheeks ;)
In Isabel's picture - in that scene she will put on a little show. I made alternate versions for a black and a white outfit, just for fun.
Have a great weekend guys!

Midnight Paradise 0.17 Preview 20


Hot and steamy, just how I like it!
Might need to work on her hair color in the first image, not sure if I messed it up or just the lighting and wet effect playing some tricks on me.
But man... that butt! I hope you guys like it!

Midnight Paradise - Development Update #54



Hey everyone

It's been a while. Some things happened lately and I decided to go quiet until things are resolved. It took more time than expected, but here we are.
Patreon's Trust & Safety team has paid us a visit (figuratively) and as a result some scenes from Midnight Paradise had to be removed. The builds have been updated to include this change. If you want more information, feel free to ask your questions on our Discord server.

Now that that's resolved, let's see what news we have.
I keep the renders and animations piling up, which is good. The count is over 1500 renders and over 100 animations currently. And I'm not done yet. But now I'm close to the finish line with the renders and animations.
Currently we have 15,000 words of dialogue written for the new update, a thousands more coming in each week from our new writer on the team now that he's fit into the pipeline.
I've been spending a lot of time with Isabel lately. Last week I finished a massive scene with her and man... It's gonna be a nice and eventful one with her. Licking, sucking, more licking, and sex. And of course more sex. Based on the route you go with her, you'll get some different content here.
Anyways, you can see the updated stats below and with things resolved I'm hoping to get back to a regular posting schedule.
I'll keep the previews rolling.

Current Progress:
Total Number of Tasks: 143
Incomplete Tasks: 82
Completed Tasks: 61 (was 46 in the previous update)
New Tasks added this week: 0
Render Count: 1546
Animation Count: 104

And as always, thank you for your generous support!

Development Update #52



Hey everyone

Just checking in, I'm not dead, etc. Although I've been pretty consistent lately with the posts, about 4 a week. Hope that's okay. I know you want the release, and it will come when it's ready. As usual.

The week's work was a bit more animation heavy as I made 19 new animations since my last dev update post and 178 new renders. Speaking of renders, that brings us over 1,100 renders for the upcoming release - as of right now. Will the animation count reach 100+ ? That's 100%. Will the renders reach 2,000? Would be nice to hit that in a single update. We'll see how it goes.
Just wanna let you know in advance that there won't be a dev update next Monday, because I'll be taking a couple of days off to rest. I'll keep the previews rolling this week though.

Total Number of Tasks: 143
Incomplete Tasks: 97
Completed Tasks: 46 (was 42 in the previous update)
New Tasks added this week: 0
New Renders this week: 178
Render Count: 1113
New Animations this week: 19
Animation Count: 78

And as always, thank you for your awesome support!

[color=#990000]Development Update #48[/color]



Hey everyone

Just wanna post a quick progress report.

I've been working on renders and animation since the last progress report 1 week ago. I'm still working on Joyce's content. I guess that makes everyone happy. I'll try to speed things up even more. I'll probably take half the day off tomorrow to handle some company stuff then continue to work on the weekend.

Her next bit of content will be fast to make, but then we are getting into tricky scenes again. The Coffee scene will be the hardest one I imagine, so I'm inclined to leave that for last, but I think I'll try to push through that early instead so I'm done with the hard ones... Mostly. I'm doing a fast one next because her last scene kind of drained me with the animations and lots of mirrors in the scene.

We have applications for the writer position and we are currently doing the selection process. Hopefully we'll have a new team member soon, who can then start writing the scenes I'm already done with.
That will be a tremendous amount of help, because there won't be a ton of scenes waiting for me to write when I'm done with all the renders. It will save a lot of time and most likely you'll enjoy some better quality writing than my own. I should have hired someone ages ago, right?

Yes, but then again I always thought I'll just do it because then I don't have to explain the story and how the scenes should go and just write it myself quickly. I'm not good at writing, but I'd say I'm a fast writer. That definitely shows on the quality. So I'm finally letting it go and let someone who does writing best do it, while I focus on what I do best - the renders.

That's all for now, I'll be back next week with a new progress report. Stats below

Total Number of Tasks: 144
Incomplete Tasks: 122
Completed Tasks: 22
New Tasks added this week: 0
Render Count: 261
Animation Count: 12

And as always, thank you for your amazing support!

[color=#990000]Development Update #47[/color]



Hey everyone

I thought a lot about how to make progress reports in these development updates much more tangible. I think I already mentioned it in one of my previous posts. For now, my idea is that each week I'll make a post here with some numbers that are easy to see and follow. I'll put the format below with actual numbers. The format is subject to change in the future, but I think it will be good enough for now.

Since we are using that new project management tool, we have tasks now we can count. You will see a lot of incomplete tasks, but keep in mind tasks vary in size. Meaning some tasks require very little time to complete, while others could take days or weeks. You will also see the total number of tasks increasing, as we add more things to the "To Do List".

On my end, the rendering workflow is on-going and the render counts will keep ramping up as I'm finishing some of the core tasks that require a lot of my time. The hardest part of this massive update is 90% done now, which was planning all the events, the modifications, the new systems and how they would fit together.

We have completed our new event handler system. Since we are adding so much new content and basically revamping the gameplay, this needed to be done. With this new event handler the work to implement scenes into the gameplay and the gallery/scene replay will be much, much faster. Easily cuts time required by 80% which will speed up the overall release process.

Each of the main girls will have 13-15 new activities in the sandbox in the 0.17 update. They will each have various "levels" to them - as you progress and get more Affection Points, you will unlock more of those levels. You will get Affection Points by doing these activities, among other things. (And the activities will be pretty hot, so no grinding needed.)

On average, 8-10 levels for these activities. Depending on the activity and level, these range from mini-scenes to scenes comparable to regular story scenes. If you do some quick math, that might give you an idea about the scope of this update. Then there are the side characters... I'll leave it at that for now.

Currently I'm working on scenes for Joyce. Preview images will be in separate posts from now on.

Now one more thing: We are hiring!
We are hiring a writer for the team. We are looking for someone who can write good and witty dialogue, has professional writing experience and can show us some of their previous works.
English has to be their first language, preferably someone from the US.

If the description fits you and you want to join the team, join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/lewdlab and send a DM to Risael.

Last time we were in need of programmers, posting it to Patreon helped and we managed to hire 2 people. Hopefully we'll find our new team member soon.

Now here are the initial stats. These don't include tasks that have been already completed before we started using the project management tool. I will update this next week.
Total Number of Tasks: 144
Incomplete Tasks: 125
Completed Tasks: 19
New Tasks added this week: N/A
Render Count: 194
Animation Count: 0
Once we hit 0 incomplete tasks the release will be ready. None of the "release when" type of questions will be answered otherwise than with this.

I know it's taking a long time. This is also an update many times the size of a regular one, including a whole redesign of the flow of the gameplay, among a LOT of other things. So, bear with us, please. It will be worth it.
That's all for now and I hope I managed to give you guys some insight with this post.

And as always, huge thanks for all your support!
