yes saving and loading is a mess
sometimes u can only save on certain slots on others u click and nothing happens
also i thought the time to load a savegame was "amusing" like in some big triple a game...
this version was worse for me than the earlier 0.1 technically...

What are you doing? The map button is right next to the button which skips time. I just played it through and I didn't have to skip time a single time. There was always something to do, even if it was just a repeat of an earlier scene.

The story and character models are excellent but I really hate Unity engine so much and also would really appreciate if this developer would fix the bugs/issues that the game has before releasing an update. Can't save beyond save 14, scenes keep on skipping, dialog issues(sometimes repeating , playing wrong dialog or delayed), mouse disappeared after waking up to look for my car keys and animation stops in 2 seconds(not sure if that is intended or not but had to say it). Please fix the game before releasing it, don't just release an update just for the sake of releasing an update. I am happy to wait, just don't rush it

It is not an Unity fault, but an engine (here Adventure Action) in combination with bad coding.

You are missing the Windows Media Feature Pack. Also keep your codecs updated: Either through installing K-Lite Codec Pack or Windows Update.

Save system is broken, cannot skip time either and UI a mess. People need to stop blaming Unity, it's not the engine's fault the dev cannot work with it. Hopefully dev fixes this because this is his second buggy release, if you can't work with said engine either get someone who can or just stick with something you know. Plot is the same shit as the last game too, pretty shit but at least the art is good

Try the 32bit build.

Could someone share the latest patreon post titled "Important Info"?
Hey everyone,

So with Midnight Paradise 0.2 release today to Elite tier, and 3 days later to everyone else, I have come to a decision based on a number of different things.
As you probably know, I've been going through some rough times lately and haven't been able to fully focus on creating the best game I possibly can for you.
About one and a half weeks ago I found my motivation again, just to be plunged back into chaos by the current state of the game.
I am dissatisfied.
There are many things that should be in place by now, and they are not. Some of it is my fault and some are the fault of my team members'.
Honestly, I feel like I'm being let down and in turn I feel like I'm letting you guys down.
And this doesn't feel right at all.
I also couldn't meet deadlines this year. I truly feel ashamed of this. If you've been following me since the start of DoD, you know I always delivered on time, even by the minute on most occasions.
Now I'm planning a smaller update content-wise in May, with all the core features that are needed for a polished game.
I feel like the 0.3 release in May will be what this release should be.
I also couldn't deliver a release in March. I really feel bad about these things and it's been eating at me for a while now.
Due to these reasons, I'm pausing my campaign for the next cycle, meaning none of the current Patrons will be charged on May 1st. Essentially it means you'll be getting the 0.3 release next month for free.
Please note though, I'm not taking a break. This isn't about that. I will still be working, harder than I've managed recently, and the 0.3 release is still coming in May.
However, I couldn't keep my promises to you lately and I feel like I don't deserve your hard-earned money until I set this straight.
You don't have to do anything with your pledges, no need to edit them, Patreon simply won't charge on the 1st and that's it.

Thank you for the kind words and support.

Well I'll be damned. A free month? Letting go of 30 something thousand dollars. That was a total surprise. Guess it's hard to call this a money grab now. Fwiw, despite the huge amounts he's making, he's still an artist who cares about a good product, never doubted that. Bravo LL, hoping you can turn this around.

does that fix the buggy animation im stuck with the two girls giving mc hj ?
As it looks the 32bit version is more stable as 64bit.

The animation problem should be fixed by installing Windows Media Feature Pack.

Animation works fine but it's just on a loop like i cannot do anything else, i can go to the kitchen and repeat the talk with brother/mom again and again and again....it won't end. I've tried 32 and 64bit and it's the same thing really, cannot save and cannot skip time either.

P.S to anyone saying it's PC fault well it's not. I've got a 8th gen i7 with a 2060 so yeah that's not the problem.

Maybe unpopular opinion, since releasing reworks instead of new content is frustrating, but it's not too late for this dev to go back to renpy. While Unity is a better engine technically, it's a whole different beast and takes experience to tame it for an optimized game. It's no coincidence most Unity games on this site are either resource-hogs at best or broken messes at worst.

The walkthrough is weird. There are inconsistencies, like saying to talk to Ruby in the kitchen about her job, but you can do it only when watching the TV, there is not specified how to get Joyce bathroom event, etc.

Edit: the walkthrough is telling me I can do something, but not how... but I finished the whole story, tutoring, and can now only do masages with mom and Isabel and watch TV... It also says, that all 3 girls can catch you jerking off, but I got only Ruby and Mom... weird... maybe I will try the 32bit version

it says "bois" so its gay?..submissive men? (Rob asks because people obviously have zero idea what boi actually means... to wit:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
end of to wit..verily)
You've just hit on the main problem with Wikipedia - it's not reliable when you get into controversial topics.

"Boi" has been around a lot longer than its use as LBGTQ+ slang. The Wikipedia page was first posted on December 11, 2018. But look at Urban Dictionary: . The first post was a full 3 years earler:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Definitions 2 and 4 are more like what I'm used to seeing. "Whassup boi!", kind of like a guy saying to his friend "hey dickhead!".


So...why do devs choose to use Renpy? I'm still curious as to why, whether if it's a technical/copyright/personal preference thing.
Ren'Py was designed to make visual novels. It's the best (IMO) engine for them.

There are various kinds of people on here but a very vocal group hates any engine that involves any sort of gameplay.

RPGM, Unity etc... if it involves more than clicking to move to sex scene then some people will rage against it some will even demand an engine change even if it's not possible. I've seen people demand games like Legend of Queen Opala, Roundscape Adorevia etc.. be changed from RPGM to Re'npy. Those are full on RPG's which means a move to Ren'py would literally be just a slide show with no context or substance.

There are also a lot of people on here that aren't gamers.

The reason RPGM gets hate is because people get lost on the maps and don't know how to progress because they have never played an actual game before so exploration confuses them. Not saying that to be a bitch, that's the complaints I see. Unity tends to be the same, games made on that tend to either be full movement or at least sandbox VN that involves using a map to navigate.

Again, not saying this to be bitchy but there are people that demand walkthroughs for games that have 2 kinds of options the obvious good one and the obvious bad one. I've seen people complain about dating sims because they couldn't get the girl they wanted when the only thing they had to do was not be a dick to her.

Long story short, do what you want to do. You will find a player base but you will never please everyone.
I have no problem with RPGs using things like RPGM or Unity. But for a visual novel, it's probably a bad decision. If the reason you're walking around a map is because the author decided to use RPGM instead of Ren'Py, then it was probably a bad one. Which isn't to say you can't make an RPG in Ren'Py - see Sakura Dungeon, which turns out to be a pretty good traditional dungeon crawl.

As evidence, I present Milfy City vs Milf's Villa. Almost everyone loves the switch to Ren'Py. Because really, ICSTOR's games weren't RPGs. They were VNs slapped into RPGM. Also see the Ren'Py remakes of ICSTOR's games, and the Ren'Py remake of Anna Exciting Affection.
