Kuma Dev Blog #35

Sure I'd love to do it, It will take some time before I get back to you with a solid answer, MT's update is right around the corner so I'll need to finish that, then give your game a try before getting back to you! Would you mind joining our discord server so we could chat via discord? Here's a link: https://discord.gg/RF83Fpg

Hey Sorry I just noticed your message, been busy with everything in the past few days.

Hello Studio Kuma! Lets make a shout out with me, what do you think about it?

Android version?

GraveStone

Is it only me who can’t get past the name select in the public release :(

Thanks! I'm actually hoping for more than 8 additional days. With time lapse, would that be equal to about a total month of time? (if each week had a week day and one weekend day for example)

Really enjoyed your analysis. MT would last for at least another 6-8 days, which makes it more than a year of production. As for harem, we shall see :P

The Octavia bad ending where the MC prompted her to service him at the school made sense given that there was no choice to avoid the school encounter once the MC pushed it (no way to back out of having her take care of him in a school bathroom stall). I'd like the bad endings to make sense - like pushing for something when a woman is not really ready (relationship wise or location wise, for example) but there has to be a chance to abort the attempt rather than just being locked in due to story line with no chance to stop, have second thoughts and make a better choice. For example - the relationship with Riley is sweet and I cannot see the MC trying to have sex with Riley in the next day or two given where their relationship is at now. There is no story arc in the next two days that I can imagine that leads to sex with Riley while maintaining the pace their relationship has been building. The story arcs need to honor the relationships as they have been building (and I think that they have so far). If the MC lets Karen take advantage of Claudia so that she ends up getting hurt (emotionally or financially for example), he chooses Karen over Claudia and effectively closes the door to anything more than a distant Claudia MC relationship - i.e. - bad ending if you wanted to be with Claudia. The MC wants to protect Claudia from Marcello who is looking like an even bigger douche now than prior to the Shirley encounter. He still has to bide his time in trying to get rid of Marcello and may need to be careful how much he relies on Victor to help him (will he be impatient and rely on Victor to help or will he be patient and not rely on Victor for this). Victor may push for far more than a pair of Claudia's panties for his help to remove Marcello from the picture. So - from a bad ending perspective - having to share Claudia even once with Victor (who might just ignore the deal he has with the MC about Claudia since the Marcello removal was not part of the deal) would be part of a bad path/ending. Does this make the final ending bad if Marcello is out and Claudia and the MC become a couple in all but formal announcement to the public? Not necessarily but still - if the goal was to keep Claudia for just the MC - then adding in Victor even once is bad. Another example is whether or not the MC tries to have sex with a client (Octavia, Evelyn or someone else) while actually working at his massage job. That would be a betrayal of his Master and teacher and would lead to one part of a bad ending - no more formal training in what could become a great career for the MC as well as being barred from the massage job. It could also damage or end the relationship with the woman in question. So there are story arcs that can end with bad decisions - some are the growing relationships with women and others are work or friendship related. I see careful choices by the MC leading to good outcomes with many of the women - but only a few situations where multiple women are happy to knowingly 'share' the MC. How many days do you envision MT to last? Do you envision any potential harem (two or more women) endings or do all endings lead to choosing one main relationship (with perhaps one or two side relationships where the women do not know or willingly accept other women in the life of the MC)?

Not a fan of stupid Bad Endings either

GraveStone

lol

GraveStone

which girl be focusing on? no``all of them``: p

I've tried some games that are littered with wrong choices that end the game where the choices are either so obvious people aren't realistically going to take them or so inconsequential that it feels cheap that they can end with a game over (i.e. zigged when you should have zagged). So I would ask that you avoid those sorts of bad endings.
