Dev Update - v0.21, an extremely overdue update
🕑 Added 2024-02-05 19:00:07 +0000 UTCHey everyone, this will be a long one. TL;DR near the bottom of post.
To start off, Mythic Manor is still alive and has not been abandoned, despite the lack of updates in the past... forever.
❗v0.21 has finally made it to the stage where I can say it will be ready this month or very soon after. Development obviously has been extremely slow. Barely any progress on v0.21 had been made until the past month or so, mostly due to several different life issues and an extended period of burnout. On top of these issues, Reiralie has been unable to help much due to more important matters, which I completely understand. This will continue for the foreseeable future. They are still helping with testing and website-related things, but pretty much everything else has been on me. I'm sorry for leaving you all in the dark for so long. I understand it's not okay, even with these issues happening.

Shortly after v0.20 released, we were planning on hiring someone else, but things fell through. But now, we are in the final steps of hiring a different person to help with several areas of the game's development. I consider it important for quality to stay the same (or improve), so finding the right person that we could also trust wasn't easy. We'll have more details once this is completely finalized, but you can expect this addition to significantly speed up development (after v0.21). The goal is to have an update at least every 2-3 months or so.
Anyway, I believe actions speak louder than words, so I don't expect anyone to have much faith in Mythic Manor until it starts releasing at an acceptable rate (and our communication is improved greatly). I'm striving to make that a reality this year.

📝 Now, some details about the upcoming Mythic Manor update. v0.21 will have a good chunk of main story content for Nefari, 5 events. I want to get the manor girls' storylines finished up, and hers is quite impactful to the game as a whole. So v0.21 and also v0.22 will each have several Nefari events. This update Naira and Jade will be getting some love too, and there also will be a Sunday event. As for side girls, you'll be seeing Iris, Kumi, Astrid, and... more. I also worked on some locations/areas that needed to be made, so the map is getting closer to being finished. In addition, I finished the new and improved Scene Gallery forever ago.
As for the Android version, there's finally a good way to have perfectly working apps over 2 GB (which Mythic Manor is). However, I don't have time before v0.21 to make this work. Even though it shouldn't take a ton of time, I don't want to spend any time at all on it right now. Once v0.21 releases, I will start work on the new & improved Android version. Once it's ready, it will be released right away.
------
📕TL;DR: v0.21 coming this month (or early next). Reiralie unable to help much for foreseeable future. We're finalizing the hiring of another person right now. After v0.21, the goal is to have an update every 2 months or so. Lots of Nefari content in v0.21 (and more ofc).

As always, thank you for supporting Mythic Manor through all its ups and downs, whether you're a current patron, former patron, or simply someone following along this project.
Cheers,

My favorite (of a set that are all likeable) manor girl getting plenty of love? I'm down for that. I've been checking back on this every couple months hoping for an update. Glad to see things are still trucking along.

Thanks for the update. Awesome work I knew he hadn't abandoned us. Can't wait, as an Andriod user I can wait a bit more, glad you're even considering helping with the 2GB limitation. Had other games I followed who abandoned the Andriods due to size which saddened me and made me drop their games as I avoid NSFW stuff on my rig due to family, you're a proper lad for that. And more best girl content for Nefari?! Say less brother just glad to know you're kicking and going.

Thanks for the detailed update! IRL issues and burnout are totally understandable, as is devs having other priorities that need taking care of. Excited for more Nefari when the update arrives! 😍

This is reassuring. I’ve been cutting costs and was considering going down a tier or two, but I have faith in this team and it looks like that is going to pay off, although admittedly I’d prefer it pay off with more Fanora! Finding additional staff you can trust can be tricky; in my own LLC we had to buy out of our own executive board, and so far we don’t have any plans to replace him.
