Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
I've been wondering - did you spring for commercial art assets to use in this game, Ero? Because I'm pretty sure I've seen Neon's EXACT hairstyle on other 3d models, mostly in porn.

Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
Is there an ETA on final release? This is the only time I've ever really considered using Patreon, but as weird as this sounds I don't want to play more of the game piece by piece and torture myself.
I don't mean to be rude, but the last time I thought about using Patreon was for Breeding Season and now I have no idea what the hell is going on over there.

I really do wonder how many people Breeding Season turned off from ever pledging to a Patreon again

$1 beta access is the only reason I've ever donated to it, which is more generous than what you can say for other h-devs running a patreon.

Yeah, see the difference between our stuff and Breeding Season is that we actually make progress on our game, so I figure $1 for their betas makes sense when they've continually thrown out/backtracked progress on the game for years now, so they've got to do something to make up for that

Hey, I was wondering if you are going to update the post at the LoK forums, You could attract more potential Patrons that way.
The original post there is kinda outdated.

Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
Our incoming full time artist should be able to help in this area once he comes up to speed, though we need to come up with a framework that'll allow us some flexibility if we don't have all the artwork ready for every outfit for each release. I'd say V0.06 at the earliest to expect additional outfits.
Yeah, quite a bit actually goes into licensing models.
It's definitely a long way off still. It's especially hard to say since our team size will likely continue to grow as funds become available (assuming we can find people to fill the roles).
It's actually a track I helped produce during my musician days. I plan on releasing a soundtrack for the game, and it will definitely be on there.
I actually thought the post was deleted (I assumed they didn't like Patreon or something, but maybe it was just a server issue). Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it!
We're on track for the 15th.

The post itself was moved to the Discussions subforum, though i'm not sure why; the patreon link is still there, and i've seen many patreon links in the projects subforums.
Make a new post or try asking the mods to move the original back to Non-Flash projects? idk

Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
I forgot to weigh in on this, mostly because the thread hasn't been on page 5 the times I've jumped onto ulmf. I wanted to put together a post on how much I enjoyed the demo and how well-done everything is with the hope that my praise will be even a little bit motivating for you to finish the project. If I may ask:
1) Will there be consistent public updates, or is it based on milestones you've set for yourself? I do want to contribute, but I have to be sure that there will be more content added in the future.
2) Will the game be made freely available upon completion? If not, I don't mind paying. It's a well-designed game with great content.
3) Do you have a scheduled release date, or is this a hobby thing? If the latter, I commend you for putting your time and effort into creating a quality product.
Also, I can only sum up how I feel about this project with this:

Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
I'm not Eromancer, but I know at least the answer to a few of these.
2) You have to pledge ~20$ to get the product when it's complete. (Two 10$ pledges)
3) I doubt there's a scheduled (full) release date considering it's on vers .04. From what I understand they have about a three(?) person team, I think at least the programmer is fulltime iirc.
Anyways, with the first update dropping tonight sometime if you're unsure you can wait on some feedback. The patreon is per content update as well, so you don't have to worry about dropping money on nothing.

Agreed, i'm sad I havn't heard anything because it was supposed to be released tonight. But c'est la vie. I am patient.

Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
Hm. I'll be the first to say I'm stuck now.
Did they forget to turn on enemy spawning in the new areas?
I'm sitting on an ever dwindling supply of fuses and can't find a way to get more,
while the game seems to imply I'm supposed to farm them and build them up:
So either I'm missing something, which I hope is the case,
or there's a bug (enemy battles would be the most obvious source of infinite drops),
or the level is legitimately designed with a failure state that requires restarting the game.
In case this is a new bug, I'm attaching a save where I have 0 fuses and gotten as far as I think I can.
Edit: Dev confirmed that this is a bug, random encounters are indeed borked, fix should be coming soon.
Also, in the room with all the ARIS units, I have an unopenable crate on the right...
[Disclaimer: Please don't PM me about links to the game. It would be unfair to everyone who does back the game, not to mention the developers.]

while the game seems to imply I'm supposed to farm them and build them up:
There's a bunch of crates, but those don't restock, so once you've opened them that's all you get.
You get refunded based on which red door you exited through, the amount seems to be the minimum amps needed to get there, not the amount you used.
So once you destroy enough fuse amps by inefficient usage, or trading/hints, or just the "reset panel (blow fuse)" option,
there doesn't seem to be any way to gain them back.
Maybe I'm just missing an exit? Bounds so far:
- Door on the left of hub area (the one you entered from) doesn't open
- Stairs on the bottom of hub lead to the B5 elevator room, which has one wrong-way stairs, a powered-down elevator, and two dark areas I can't navigate.
- ARIS teleport is disabled
- elevator at the top of hub area leads to a corridor that solely leads to stairs
- those stairs lead to the first ABC room, which is where you're stuck once you're completely out of fuses
- first door A leads to the stairs where you originally met fusebot, but the elevator shaft doesn't do anything if you revisit it.
