The Future of Milfylicious — And a New Chapter Begins
Hey everyone,
I wanted to make a more personal post and talk honestly about where things are right now.
Over the last year, I’ve been struggling a bit with Milfylicious, especially when it comes to maintaining the same quality of storytelling that the game had in the beginning. I know some of you have noticed that too, and I don’t want to pretend otherwise.
Milfylicious has been a huge part of my life for a long time, but after working on the same story and characters for so many years, it has become harder for me to approach every new chapter with the same freshness and excitement I had when I first started.
For the past few months, I’ve been seriously thinking about starting development on a new game.
The idea itself isn’t new. I’ve had the main concept in my head for a couple of years already, but because almost all of my development time was dedicated to Milfylicious, I never really had the opportunity to turn it into something real.
Recently, I finally started writing it properly.
And so far, I’m extremely happy with where it is going.
Story-wise, I feel like this is some of the strongest writing I’ve done. I already have the world, atmosphere, characters, major story elements and long-term direction in mind, and writing something completely new has given me a huge amount of creative energy again.
I don’t want to reveal the actual story yet because I think discovering it for the first time should be part of the experience.
The images above are some early concept work for the direction I’m considering, including the current working title:
Echoes of Eryndor: The Hollow Cycle
The idea is to move toward a much more cinematic, atmospheric fantasy experience, while still keeping the character-focused relationships that have always been important in my games.
I’d really like to know what you think about this visual direction and the concept art.
I also want to address something else because I know I haven’t been very active on Patreon lately.
That doesn’t mean I disappeared or stopped working.
A lot of my time has been spent learning and improving. I’ve been taking courses and studying both Daz3D and Ren’Py, experimenting with better rendering, lighting, character work, environments, presentation and development techniques.
I wanted to improve my skills before jumping into another major project instead of simply repeating the same workflow I’ve used for years.
And regarding Milfylicious — I am not abandoning it.
The next story/update for Milfylicious is already around halfway completed.
What I’m trying to figure out now is what the best direction is going forward. I could continue focusing almost entirely on Milfylicious, begin putting serious development time into Echoes of Eryndor, or potentially work on both depending on what you guys would actually like to see.
You are the people who have supported me and my games, so before I make any major decision, I genuinely want to hear your opinion.
Please vote in the poll below, and feel free to leave a comment explaining why you chose your option. I’ll be reading everything.
Thank you for continuing to support me, especially during the quieter periods.
I’m very excited about what I’ve been working on behind the scenes, and I think this new project has the potential to become something really special.

What the fuck, which story ? this game story is the first dialogue when MC is in his bedroom , after that is just a fuckfest, you just have to keep developing new kinks and situations where MC fucks the women, there is no story at all
Seriously? Milylicious JUST started getting really good, it JUST reached the point were a lot of the relationships are advancing. And there's still several character's we've barely even seen. And we've barely even touched on the Mansion/maids storyline yet. There's SO much left you can get out of Milfylicious. Would be such a waste to stop now
Has bro gone silent?
So what are your ongoing thoughts?
i like what you did with the game in the dlc but some of the extra animations are unnessasery,some of them felt out of context in the moment but others where a funny expression in the moment,ya some didnt like this extra feature but i thought it was fun,i do agree that maybe this feature is unnessary extra space in the game that can be better used for something els? but overal i love what you done with the dlc. and yes finish milfylicious first atleast what you started with the dlc finish the chapter or put on hold and do a diffirent project first but do 1 or the other.
If there is an update of “The Heat Rises” in Pantreon too, then I think you are honoring your commitment to the paying members, and I wish you luck and success with Steam. If on the other hand, if there is not an update of “The Heat Rises” in Panteon, that would mean you are not honoring your commitment to the paying members thru Pantreon. I will give you 4 weeks to answer me or put the update of “The Heat Rises” in Panteon. If not, I may have to consider cancelling my subscription, and I would recommend to the paying member, to do the same. Of course, I could always get the updates on steam.
finish it first and then do the new one
If you really lost your creative motivation to continue, than I don't see the point you continue cause it will effect your work . Though I would've liked you told us sooner, but I think it would be fair to at least make a final closure episode.
Definitely hoping you'll finish Milfylicious rather than shift foci.
The art looks great and a fantasy setting is genuinely interesting but I really wanna see where the current story goes you have soooo many characters that id like to see more of that prefer Milfilicious to be the main focus
A new project sparks motivation, yes. But what happens when the same thing happens two years into the new game. The issue I find is the immense focus on tacky AI videos and images. What is the point of making a game if the creative substance has shortcuts taken. I'm only saying this because it adds nothing of substance to the story, H scenes, or writing. There is so much creative freedom that can come from Milfylicious. You have more than 10 characters that have little to zero backstory whatsoever. You could flesh out each character one at a time in their own chapters; with H scenes involving the other characters, since that is the name of the game. All the while pushing the plot in any way you wish. You based it off a book someone else wrote, but the book isn't the template. Tell your own story through the characters and different settings. Yes this is 'that' kind of game, but it's important to take any creative project seriously. Not saying you aren't taking it seriously, just a reminder of what the point of it all is. These are my thoughts if you end up reading all the way.
Combine the two ideas and alternate the updates.
Also BTW I suspect you would have gotten about 20% less flack if at least 1 of the 4 warriors had been closer to naked.
you already have 700+ votes so I'm skipping that, and posting instead. First, I will say that I accept whatever decision you come to: it is your life, and your livelihood. Second, I suggest that unless you are already acquainted with the creators Droid, and PTGames, that you contact them and discuss the 'palet cleanser' games that they each made alongside their 'main' works.
At least let us bang Aniston 🙏🙏 then you can move on
We run a very profitable company and this is simply a peronsal observation: all the great are able to tolerate doing something that may be boring, tedius, repetitive, and without seeing the immediate results for a very, very, very long time. It's easy to feel less passionate about something as time goes on, but that's the fixed cost of making anything remarkable. Ask yourself: are you in this to create something that makes history (and dollars), or are you here to make something dictated by your current mood? This question matters, because the writer's block and sense of lack will return no matter how many projects your cycle through,. The grass ISN't greener on the other side, and you just don't know what kind of shit it's being fed... Yet.! Absolutely delighted to hear about your learning and new skills. I'm here because I love MILFs and there's closer to 0 young character in this project, and I'll stay and support for as long as that being the case.
Let’s be real here, you are losing the plot the moment you cram all these gimmicks into the game. Going 4K, adding AI images, and forcing AI animations—it is all completely unnecessary. Go back to how things used to be. The pure 3D renders were by far the best days of this game. Out of all the developers I know, you were the only one pulling off a substantial update every single month, which was completely unheard of for me. That consistency and content are what made this game special, not the tech bloat.
Absolutely finish Mifilicious first. The way to go is to stop introducing new characters. The major flaw of the game was that too many characters were being introduced, and it was difficult to develop them. That is why the story halted. You need to be disciplined with storytelling, continue it with the characters who are already there, develop relationships with them and then bring it to the conclusion. If you abandon Mifylicious, people will not play your new game, because they will think that you will leave them unsatisfied halfway through. You need to have a repuation of the developer who finishes what is started
At least finish chapter 2 of Milfylicious first. You can look around for extra help running Milfylicious - ChatGPT AI can help you (re)write/compile RenPy and even Daz3D scripts, and even write new scripts and animations quick and easy, that you can literally copy-paste to speed up the process. So as a side note besides investing time and money learning Daz3D and RenPy also play around with Grok Imagine and ChatGPT, MidJourney etc. you will be surprised what a load of work it can take off your shoulders, especially when you are branching storylines. Finishing Chapter 2 will also give you more time and experience to prepare you for your new game. It is also a near statistical certainty that once a first game is paused (read: abandoned), any follow up game will never get finished and the developer will simply disappear due to burnout/workload running two games. This will look very badly if you try to sell future content on Steam or Patreon.
We want Aniston Action!
For now i will cancel my Subscription and will be waiting how you move forward, cashing in on Steam and then letting us know that you struggle…sounds a little suspicious to me… You can always prove me otherwise, but till then i will not invest anymore money in here…
Exactly
How Far along are u done with the Milfylicious story if u are almost finished then. Keep Main focuse and and work on Your Other Project in the background, Because Personely i dont like to be left Hanging but dont kill yourself with Overworking, U alredy have a lot on your plate..
Please just keep focus on Milfy it feels like it's already been ten years since the last update when it was what 5 months ago or something
I dont like the first choice, because it sounds you are already thinking about abandoning Milfylicious...i know what you stated above about it, but to be honest with you - Its really gorgeous with the graphics, the unusual cool setting and the beautiful LIs. Thats why i am here BUT the story was weak from the beginning and with later updates there was no story at all anymore... I think you put way too much effort in the Videos and Animations you made, dont get me wrong, they are great but these things took alot of time from you away, instead you could have put this time into the story... If you struggle with the ongoing story, try get help from elsewhere, there are alot of guys in this business who would help you out, sometimes it helps to have someone who puts you in the right direction. Why i am writing this ? Because you created something unique and beautiful with your AVN which stands out from the mass of AVNs out there ! I think you have a talent for that, i am sure your Fantasy AVN will be good, but please finish Milfylicious first and dont rush to end of it because you arent exited about it anymore... If you cant finish it for whatever reason, please tell us your decission as soon as you are able and truthfully, i love to support you, but i dont love to spend my hard earned money for something where we will never see the end of it. Thank you.
Hi. Personally, I think you should finish *Milfylicius* before starting a new project. In my opinion, the story in *Milfylicius* hasn't been fully fleshed out yet; while it has certainly progressed, I believe there is potential for further narrative development—for instance, having the MC successfully build the prototype and achieve his goal. Alternatively, you could work on both, though in my experience, you might get overwhelmed unless you hire others to help you. In any case, I wish you the best and hope you feel better soon. I really love *Milfylicius*—not just for the great character models, but for the story's potential. Please don't abandon it; you should value the people who have supported the game's development by paying here on Patreon. Still, I really hope you recover, my friend. Greetings from Venezuela.
💯
I hope with Milfylicious we get some plot advancement especially in regards to whatever scheme is being set in motion for the MC by the ladies. Also i wish we can see some more struggles by the MC and things not going his way (granted i love femdom) but i also believe story wise, chapter1 was great especially at the start when the MC was kinda lost in this seductive new life that he suddenly found himself in and was exploring new things for the first time which relates to the player in a direct deep way vs at the recent updates where he turned more into that dominant personality allnof a sudden with all the harem wanting his approval and acceptance. I humbly think the move was a bit too fast and unexplained where i would expect trust would've needed more time from both sides especially wih a place filled with strong women with different agendas and plans. Even the mother and aunt used to be more calculating and doing things that benefit them before suddenly becoming so submissive to the MC whwn he was the one trying so hard to resist the seduction or trying to get a piece of them later on.
Just do what you feel like doing. It's the only way to bring quality to your work
To put it bluntly: I came here for *Milfylicious*, and I stayed because I liked it. A new game—one where I know absolutely nothing about the content, story, or characters, and which is clearly set in a fantasy world (a genre I’m not a fan of at all)—holds no interest for me whatsoever. If you continue to focus primarily on *Milfylicious* while working on the other game on the side, I have no problem with that. However, if *Milfylicious* gets sidelined and the other game becomes the main priority, then—much as I regret it—I’ll have to bow out, because that’s simply not why I’m here. But that’s just my opinion; everyone has to decide for themselves. Unfortunately, I’ve seen quite a few good games fade away just as they were getting started, which is a real shame. With *Milfylicious*, you’re actually still in the early stages in terms of story and characters—there’s still a lot of potential there.
👍
Look I get being stuck for ideas after doing something for so long but you need to see it through finish Milfy 1st ..
Milfylicious has the best graphics and females keep ballin on that yea the other game look cool but Milfylicious goat
I get burnout trust me. But you really should finish Milfylicious first. You have dare I say a duty/obligation to those that supported and paid for a product but to also finish it off before moving onto new stuff. There are multiple avenues you can take 1. Take a break and get back to it afterwards 2. Finish chapter 2 and either end the series there then start work on the new game and come back to milfy later on if there’s chapter 3 ideas or 3. Find some devs to take over milfylicious and you just give them directions as needed. I do not suggest trying to work on both as it will slow down progress on both probably increase burnout and will lead to either or both projects getting abandoned
There are already too many unfinished AVNs out there…
Frankly working through some burnout and writer's block is what separates developers who actually finish games from developers who just start a bunch of projects and don't finish any of them. This kind of stuff is inevitable. It's pretty easy to come up with a cool new idea and story, the difficult part is working through the rough patches and figuring out how you are going to bring everything together. You start this new game now you are going to run into the exact same problem with that story as you have with this one, but by then people won't be as willing to give you the benefit of the doubt about your troubles. I think if you want people to take you seriously you should finish what you started before moving on to something new.
💯👍
I am here for Milfylicious and at the Moment for nothing else… And one of my Principles of life which i learned from my father is that you should finish what you started. I understand thats sometimes boring, but i was one of the guys who had also concerns about the fading Story… I will not support a second AVN before your first is finished, because then we will wait for updates much longer than we already do… And the problem is, if you dont finish your first one, this could also happen to the second one if you get bored there too after some time. I want you to finish Milfylicious, we have already enough good Fantasy AVNs out there like The Neverwhere Tales or The Seven Realms… So make us believe that you are able to finish something, if you can not than i for my part will not support anything anymore you will make in the future. Just my 2 cent…
sounds good although i stil want a next chapter of milfylicious
I see that the majority of votes are for staying the course with Milfy, and the notes below about why it wouldn't be right to abandon it. I get that frustration. However, to be frank I think that the curse of Milfy is that there are just too many characters all vying for attention right from the start, especially for a small-scale game with no large team of developers working on it. I've always felt that was a major hurdle for this game, as your readers would each have their favorites and some will be upset when those favorites don't get enough attention. There are still so many characters who still haven't gotten a satisfying arc and... climax, if you'll forgive the pun, it seems this story could easily go for another 2 years without resolving everything. Honestly, I don't even care about most of them, because they've barely been in the story at all. A few I would still like to see more time spent on. But ultimately, I think the most important factor is that if you're too burnt out on this game to make it well right now, then you probably should put it on hiatus and come back when you're refreshed. You will definitely piss off a lot of people by doing this, and it's not a decision to make lightly, but ultimately you have to consider your own mental state and ability to deliver.
Well, I like hearing from you at least. I know that constantly working on one theme is hard. I understand the urge to work on a new project. But here comes my thoughts. You jsut released Milflicious on Steam, the excitement for the game will be growing. Patreon have stayed mostly loyal, at least I did and waited since may for any hint, communication or updates. We once polled that we mostly wanted a continuation of the story, the AI upgrade is nice but is not why I support this game. I actually am intrigued with the mansion, girls and weird family dynamic. I am actually more for rounding up Milflicious in 2-3 releases with more content and significant story/plot update end lets end it in a huge fuck fest over some ingame days, if you want to work more on the other game. I don't think going 50/50 on two projects is helping at all. It just further increases the already long release windows. I was waiting since may and mostly saw hacked accounts spamming shit in discord and the rest was more or less radio silcence. I appreciate the honesty, but I would rather see the game finished and go out with a massive jizz/cock/fuck blast and not be put on some sort of maintenance mode, or to be continued if you have it in you. If not end it, start the other one with 100%. That my 2 cents about this. Hope you are doing fine and stay healthy. PS: I stil would like to see Aniston and Esmeralda getting man handled like those cock craving "ladies" they are!
Problem is…most Devs which started new games without finishing their first one failed to do so on the second… He will get bored there too…
I enjoy something new and this new project your working looks interesting and fun to play so looking forward to it
It is no use to force creativity. All I would ask for is to bring the previous game to a good spot/end/temp end. Just don't leave us hanging in the air. Your new project sounds more than interesting. The ladies, I get it, just concept art, I would not take too much into account. Your opening title picture.. yup...thats promising. If this is what your heart and mind want to do.. finish clearly without drag and dive into the new stuff.
again, reasonable
I would love to see you finish the chapter, then split your time between the two.
does seem reasonable
Bruh. Its a job Suck it up We aren't here for the storyline Its because your modeling is unique Keep this your moneymaker and do something else in your free time
I was getting a little tired of the characters from Milfylicious anyway. Unless that sister gets involved at some point then I say yeah. New game it is!
Swapping games has helped other developers with burnout but stay to no more than two games at a time otherwise burnout will only happen faster.
Personally, I think you should at least finish Chapter 2 before making a decision about starting a new game. You’ve already released Milfylicious on Steam, so I honestly don’t think it would be right to move on to developing a new game before finishing the story you’ve already started. I understand that working on the same game for years can be exhausting, and I’m not against Echoes of Eryndor. But I really hope you’ll finish at least Chapter 2 of Milfylicious first before shifting your main focus to a new project.
it is difficult to keep the quality in a novel, if you are struggling like it seems you are. I do assume, you will come back to the Milfycious story anyway in the future, but if in the moment a new twist will help you to get the creativity back you seem to have lost, then go for it.
Ok... look... I like the idea of the new game. OBVIOUSLY, we'd wondered what would be the new project you'd make after Milfylicious and its a great idea. But please no, don't focus on both games straight away, nothing ever comes good from a dev working on 2 projects.
I say do what feels best for you and everyone else will understand
Understanding yes, supporting is a different animal...
I love Milfylicious, but if you need a distraction, then dedicate yourself to another project. It's important to always communicate with us so that no expectations are disappointed in the end.
I think a good ideas would be to swap between the games. Doing a release every so often to keep mental juices flowing.
Happy to hear working on something new has re-energized you. Ideally, maybe you could work on both while still focusing on Milfylicious and switching over to Eryndor when you need a break/inspiration?
