The end of 2020


Season's greetings

I can't stress enough how humbled I am with your patience with me.

I am still very much working on V3, and I can hopefully deliver it in the coming year. The extreme amount of time spent on V3 has happened because of a mess of trial and error gameplay coding I had been doing to improve the overall experience, combined with the usual problems with writing. Fortunately updates should come much quicker in the future, since I feel confident that I won't have to fiddle around with the guts of the code or the gameplay in a while. One messy writing thing I've been struggling with is deciding what characters to focus on. Juggling between creating new stuff and expanding existing characters is difficult, since basically all characters have their advocates that wish more content for them. Regardless, I will do my best to round off all the characters in a way that doesn't leave them dangling narratively. The stream theme experiment has yielded good results for the long term development of the game in the form of backgrounds, sprites and inspired writing that often takes place after the streams. The fruits of the streams will not be seen in V3, but they'll have an effect in all of the future updates. I've once again created a new super pack of all the stream art for your convenience. It's a poor replacement for V3, but I wish my commitment to the regular streams will uphold the trust necessary for such a long project.

  1. You are the only person I know of making content like this and I will wait as long as I need. Don't work too hard my friend and thank you.

    1. Same here. I've been searching for years trying to find a game that does xenophilia the same way Meandraco does, and not only does he deliver on the art he has managed to make a solid game with actually interesting characters. I will gladly wait another year if that's what it takes.

  2. I will wait as long as it takes (just hope I'll not die until this moment). My personal wish this Christmas — I hope someday we will get the Witch as the character which you can flirt like the others.

    However, I'll look up to all your works, from stream arts (which sometimes are gorgeous) to any updates to Teraurge. Hopes you doing well, Marry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  3. Although cyberpunk burned my ass when I advocated for long dev times, i'm still incredibly devoted in the progress of this project. I legit come back to play the game just to soak in the atmosphere and characters sometimes. We're all rooting for you. Stay safe, my dude!

  5. As i said before, your content is quite unique so is your style and we all here do appreciate the effort you put into your work, so take your time fam.

    Hell you even got me inspired to try to make shit like this, migh be time to pick up the brushes once again, have a nice month and enjoy the holidays you beautiful bastard.

  6. Good on ya cleaning up your code. It's genuinely way better to handle that now rather than wait and end up with a real bastard case of game code that you're married to way down the line.

  7. After the shit-show that was cyberpunk 2077, I really can't trust big companies anymore. Small Indie games with unique art will always triumph over realistic million dollar assets. With that out of the way, I'm glad MD is still alive and kicking. Hopefully he's correct on his assessment. Learning and bettering your skills will always be beneficial in the long run than trying to create something fast right now with an inferior skill-set. *ahem* Yandere-dev *ahem* Can't wait for new content.

  8. I think we all know from previous experience that whatever you put out in V3 is gonna be fantastic, so take as much time as you need! I only ask for more consistency in the blog updates.

  9. take your time and build the game at your own pace. that's how good things are built. cheers.

  10. More Subni! More Subni! But seriously, take all the time you need. You're a sole dev, everyone understands this'll take time!

  11. We've waited this long, we can wait some more. This level of niche is hard to come by, so this project is a godsend, and I'm sure most of us are just happy something like this is being worked on. Keep on keepin' on.

  12. What I wish is that there'll be a feral xeno character romance route. Not like the female eel, where she's sentient and can speak, but one that's really wild and can't speak, and it can turn into a romance path.

  14. I fucking love this. I just learned about recently and it's exactly what I'm looking for. Do you have a rough estimate on when v.3 is coming out? If you don't that's fine, I just thought id ask.

  15. Have you considered adding other languages? For example Chinese...

    1. Bro, there is an English sea, it will probably be very difficult to translate

  16. Thank you very much for your dedication and this communication. It's good to know why it's taking so long and good to hear you're getting better at coding. Hope last year hasn't been too hard on you.

  17. Personally, I am not a fan of xenophilia, but the very fact that there is huge scope for action impresses me. I am glad that the game does not force you to "have a relationship" with other characters, although it is available in the game! (If there are errors in the text, don't blame me, I was Russian and took a little text from the translator, maybe some will not be able to understand me)

  18. I am looking forward to more Nkanmykiunsuns, yo.

  19. I've always appreciated your art meandraco, so take whatever time needed to do it right, breaks in-between, no matter how long it takes. But, something I need to know: since flash is no more, will you still be making the game in adobe air format, or moving to a different platform to compensate?

  20. Does anyone know if he's still doing terraurge?

    1. Maybe, but it is adorable how forgiving and hopeful the fans are.

      Delete
    2. Sadly, I must agree. The more people say "take your time" or keep forgiving less and less frequent updates, the more laid back Draco will become. I understand that this game is his project, but this is just wrong.

      Delete
    3. To add to that, my friend and writer once told me "Never tell me to take my time, otherwise I will become lazy and may never finish this thing I call a book!". Some times he even asks me to push or "bark" at him so would continue to write.

      People, stop with this "nice guy" attitude. This is what got us into all this Early Access and lazy devs mess in the first place.

      Sorry, Draco. I love what you're doing, I love your artstyle, but an update once 1-2 years is simply wrong, unacceptable even. Many lone artists manage to update more content and on time.

      I don't know, maybe you have problems IRL but, considering your rather frequent art streams, you're doing just fine...

    4. Well, he doesn't get paid for it, so why the rush?
      and its just a sex game made by one guy, not some open world game made by a triple A company...
      I'm sure you could find something else until he's done with V3

      Delete
    5. Well he does get paid from Patreons (about $800) but besides that he did a live art stream on the 2nd of this month so he may be going slow but he's still going steady so I'm not that worried about it not getting finished.

    1. Which is kinda sad because I really liked the blogposts of him explaining his development process. I just hope the update gets released soon and we can return to the blog for updates.

  22. Hey! You made something unique what are you expecting?
    Of course we will be patient with you.

  28. Hello, is the game discontinued? I remember playing this years ago.

  29. While Anon above is a bit graphic, I do think it could be interesting if the Witch or any of the feminine looking characters was packing some heat downstairs. It could pose a fun scenario of the player making assumptions only for them to be met with a dick and reminded that these creatures are alien then having to navigate if they are okay with that or not. I actually thought that might happen with Nkaanmykiunsuns since she is so androgynous. Regardless this is just a humble thought not a demand I'm sure you have great plans with all your characters.
