MOMMY MANHANDLER - Backstage Blog #20 Early Access

Hi homies. Here's an early access version of the Backstage Blog post coming up next week:

Hi homies here’s another lil preview post of what I’ve been working on for MOMMY MANHANDLER and future plans for the game and shit like that

• The early access of Ver 1.7 will go up on Patreon on Saturday, February 15

• Updates will then be done every other month, so the next update would be in April

• The itch version will update in the meantime, so Ver 1.7 will go up there in March

DIRECTION SHIFT

I’ve been taking a break from the game for a bit now, and I’ve also spent time going through all the feedback, comments, reviews, and DMs I’ve gotten about the game ever since the very beginning to try and figure out what to do with it

It’s been kinda confusing since I’ve seen everything from peeps liking the story, characters, and format to hating it and telling me to do x, y, or z instead. I’ve gotten lots of suggestions/critiques about how the game needs to be completely remade, or needs to have animations, 3D models instead of drawings, voice acting, less story, drop all the gameplay stuff, make the protag a blank self insert, change the character design style, etc

It’s been a bit tough figuring out what to do, but I think I’ve settled on a gameplan:

From this point on, the game will no longer have any gameplay elements whatsoever. No points, no stats, no sidequests, no secrets, no shops, no dates, manhandlings, no new maps, etc. It’s just gonna be walking up to the girls, talking to them, and selecting whatever scene(s) are available as they get added to the game. That’s it

I will NOT be remaking/restarting the game, so all the gameplay stuff that’s already there will just be there sorry, but it’s just not worth the amount of work, time, and annoyance for me. Just, from Ver 1.7 onward, there’ll be nothing other than scenes added in the future, and I will exclusively be focusing on the major characters and their main story/sex scene content until the game is completed. That’s still a shitton of work, so the game will continue to update for quite a while, so you don’t have to worry about there not being many updates or whatever

VER 1.7

While I don’t have all the details figured out about how everything will work moving forward, what’ll happen in Ver 1.7 is that you’ll be able to go to the HISTORIA map thing, and then enter an alternate version of the game where all the extra stuff will be gone, and you can just view the scenes. You’ll also be given a buncha points/money/important items or whatever so that you can get caught up with anything you might be missing currently or whatever before you make the transition to the new alternate map. Might take awhile to get everything in, but it should make it easy/clear to view whatever scene are available

As a sorta apology for the mess, the new content in the update will focus on Maemi, Phoebe, Ms. Morgan, and Shay, since they seem to be the most popular characters. I will also bring back Priority Polls for future updates so you can pick which characters you want me to progress the content of first

ETC

Sorry the game is such a mess. I didn’t really have a plan going into it, and was mostly just doing it on the side for fun as a personal project. I didn’t expect it to be a lot more popular than my other stuff, and that’s been cool. thx everybuddy for playing the game

But with that in mind and all the feedback I’ve gotten, I feel like it’s pretty clear I’m not really cut out for stuff like this, so I think it’s best to just rein it in ASAP and just focus on getting it done. Sorry if I’ve been pretty negative about it lately, but I’ve also been very frustrated with some other game and collab problems, and that all just kinda hit me at once and prolly overwhelmed me

Anyway, hopefully the game’s smoothish sailing from now on. Sorry again to anyone disappointed with this but I think it’s for the best
