Major Announcement

Greetings friends,

I hope everyone is doing great and staying healthy. We have two major announcements to make today, and we are truly grateful to be able to share this with all of you.


First Announcement: Milky Touch will be finished in January 2022.


Second Announcement: Our next game, Neon Touch, will be online in Early 2022.

P.S. Our patrons will have access to the testing version in June 2022.


Let me start by saying how much we appreciate all of you. The support you’ve offered Milky Touch through the years has been amazing and it has kept us energized through this incredible journey. We owe everyone who pledged to the game or even just helped spread awareness of it a big debt of gratitude.


Thank you!


Now, please let me elaborate a bit on the First Announcement.

The decision to conclude Milky Touch is tough for everyone. The adventure of building a game from scratch can hardly be described with simple words. Together, we overcame a lot of challenges and difficulties.

That, alone, is beyond amazing.

There are several reasons why I decided it’s time to bring Milky Touch to an end. The most prominent reason; the brutal truth for me and for the team, is that financially speaking, I can not keep MT going for too much longer.

In other words, we’re in a Go Big or Go Home situation.

The team and I have decided to Go Big. So following the Mossland Chapter, the story will officially enter its final stage. We have planned a solid ending for everyone and all the major routes present in the game. And after that, we’ll start developing our upcoming game - Neon Touch. You can find out more information regarding this project in the following post.


There will be Two More Updates and roughly Twelve New Scenes.


Ending Chapter One (Chapter 21) will feature Five Scenes and will be ready in Mid-October.


Ending Chapter Two (Chapter 22) will feature Seven Scenes and a hidden ending! The plan is to have Part Two, the final conclusion of Milky Touch, available in Mid to Late December, before Christmas.


The team and I are all extremely grateful to have Milky Touch, and all of you guys, as a significant part of our lives these past two years. Even though Milky Touch is not a perfect game, we tried our best to make it something special. Still, on the plus side, we have learned many lessons during the game development process. Sure, we have regrets, but more than that, we have a passion to improve our craft, to build something even closer to perfect with our next game.

So remember, just because one chapter is ending, it does not that Studio Kuma’s book is finished. I think now is the right time to introduce you guys to the new game that we will be working on once Milky Touch is completed in December.

Now, with the hard news behind us, allow me to officially introduce you to our upcoming game - and our new vision - Neon Touch.

I would prefer a female or even selectable MC sex as well. But I know that that would be very expensive, so I am hoping for some FxF NPC action and looking forward to this awesome sounding game.

Legengerry

It’s male, it’d be cool if we have the budget to make it selectable in the beginning. But that’s going to cost a shit ton of budgets

GraveStone

What is the gender of the MC in Neon Touch? I hope its female lol

"As for the Musics, SFXs, and Voice overs, we will still keep all these great features in NT. Don't worry we'll ditch any :P " I'm not worrying, I'm suggesting that voice overs and a lot of unique music should be ditched to save money. May be animations too, because they probably take a lot of artist's time. I just don't want your new game to end same way MT did.

There will be quite some more actions with Claudia, Octavia and other characters for sure, especially for Claudia (wink wink wink). On the financial side, with MT ending and NT in its early concept developing phase, we could cut down on some of the cost, only keeping the artist in the payroll so we could take some time to breathe, plus I'll borrow some more to make sure we could keep NT up and running.

I am shock to hear MT is coming to an end so quick. The problem with MT its that its really is a slow burner (we waited until chapter 10 and 20 to finally have some action with Claudia and now things are finally heating up with claudia and we are ending it. I thought we will at least get to Chapter 25. I want see action with claudia in different part of the house maybe even outdoor. I want to see action with Octavia after school in the class. I want to see MFF with claudia and Octavia in the mask :(. I want my man victor to get some action too. I understand finance is a problem but can't we not see if we can raise some more money before ending it? higher level tier which I am happy to support. If finance is an problem, wouldnt it affect NT too? Btw I think NT looks really and I definitely wants to play that too

Peterj

First of all, thank you so much for writing down your thoughts, feelings, and expectations. Yes, if time and budget allow, four or five more updates to end MT is probably the best way to go. I'm honestly moved to see how you actually care about MT's characters. We'll keep it in mind as we develop NT characters and strike our best to deliver even better experience with NT characters for you and for all our players. The cyberpunk world in our vision is not only a fucked-up world but also a world in which socioeconomic classes are perfectly rigged. It is incredibly hard for someone to "work their way up" in this world. So like you said, within each class, dog eats dogs, and if you want to jump out of your class and move your way up, there are great prices to pay. But, love still exists, and it is certainly something we'll devote a significant amount of our time and resources to portraying. As for the Musics, SFXs, and Voice overs, we will still keep all these great features in NT. Don't worry we'll ditch any :P I hope this answers your questions, doubts and thoughts. Take Care, Kuma

Hey Pax, thanks for all the previous comments you wrote us, they and all other comments really powered us through the difficult times so please know we are grateful for you and for all those kind comments. As for the VA, \I promise Claudia and Karen will be fully voiced when MT ends.

GraveStone

Thank you for all your kind words about the writing for Milky Touch. I'll be taking the lessons I learned from our first game and putting them into Neon Touch. And of course, I'll do my best to give the final updates as much pazaaz as possible so people can enjoy them.

So, with this point in mind I would like to make the first suggestion for the Neon Touch. While cyberpunk as a setting promises a lot more possibilities for an exciting and gripping plot - compared to the suburbian setting of MT - that would offer more to players than just a background for porn; it's also quite a harsh setting that calls for darker themes - such as violence, crimes and gangs, prostitution and drugs etc. A cyberpunk world is a world where dog eats dog, filled with flawed and outright corrupt characters. So. For the love of god and everything that is sacred, for the success of your new game - please give us at least one love interest that is as lovely, as tender and as innocent - as Claudia, Octavia and Riley. Love should bloom under the neon sky. PS: I also would be delighted if the game would for the most part explore the luxurious part of a cyberpunk world, as opposed to the "low life" scum-filled littered alleys, that we got so much in CP2077.

But I guess, as Japanese say - shikata ga nai - it cannot be helped. I understand that the team would've liked to see MT properly finished as no one else - but, alas, there's simply not enough money for that. So, I guess, in the new game we shouldn't expect voice overs or a lot of unique background music. That's all right. They were a great boon for the MT but its two main strength were the art (it's style and quality) and the writing. The art, evidently, isn't going anywhere; as for writing... To be honest, the premise of the Milky Touch - a college boy "conquering" all the females in vicinity - never felt very original or captivating. But. Due to team's talents this trodden path got filled with original and captivating situations and memorable characters. No, wait. The characters were much more than just memorable - I outright cared about them. Even regular video games/movies very seldom get such reaction from me - to say nothing of porn games.

Wrote a long post that somehow got deleted. So I'm writing it again. Not going to lie, my feelings are pretty mixed on this one. Milky Touch was such a slow burner, it teased us for so long - to see it end so abruptly, moreover right at this point, where things have finally started to unravel plot- and romancewise - that's like being punched in the gut. I get it that things could've been much worse - with the studio closing and MT not getting any conclusion at all. There was a lot of potential in MT; and to properly unfold and conclude all the routes of at least three main heroines - as well as the political subplot of Catelyn vs Karen (the most interesting and promising part of the plot btw) - it would've taken at least three of four updates, not the meager two.

Kuma, I'll be sad to see Milky Touch ending in Jan 2022, but I am very happy I get to enjoy this journey! I hope that we will get full voice acting through the finish for Claudia, and hopefully Octavia and Riley as well (I listed Claudia first as she is my favorite!) even if it means that there are two final versions - with the first including everything + the available voice acting at the time and the second, later, with the 3 ladies above fully voiced. Thanks for the update!

Pax

Thank you for your passion as well!

GraveStone

Thank you for your work, I will look forward to new ones! At the same time, I will try my best to translate the current chapter and finish it at the same time with you.haha

:P Personally I don't want to see Claudia age, that might be the cruelest thing ever.

GraveStone
