I'M STILL ALIVE aka MALIGNANT UPDATE!​

August 3rd, 2023 16:58・All users
Sorry this is taking so long. Good news is I have a bunch of content for the next update. So at least there that even if I'm 2-3 months late. Oof.
I'm aiming for the end of the month at the latest. Stay turned

Even more hype from Deaufosse:

Sooo....i am kinda wondering @Deaufosse ..... how are you handling whats currently going on? Are you also gonna delete your content soon, or gonna put it on hold, or....just plain delete and disappear ? Would be really nice to hear your state on the current matter. Loving both of your games and would hate to see you go MIA :/

 

[BadJM]

Yeah he is one of the few devs that hasn't said anything about this issue yet. I hope he doesn't delete the game and just disappear, His games are very different from the average smol game.

I’m out of the loop, what’s going on?

He's likely working hard on the game. Considering Pixiv post says end of the month deadline. Which would be absolutely fantastic. Considering the scale of the dev, he's also likely busy working a day job.

I’m out of the loop, what’s going on?

Basically, a dev in Australia was arrested because of their game. Evidence suggests it was Westy (dev of Proud Father). Now a bunch of other devs, either because their games have similar content and/or because they have close ties to Westy, are laying low for a while (or freaking out and potentially overreacting, depending on the dev). There's a couple threads about it in the General Discussions section.

Android port?

Naw, I just like being mysterious. V.2 coming out soon. Swear.
The only thing I'm changing is that I'm done taking supporters and just going to release my smut for smut's sake, but I was planning that for a while before all this happened.

Oh also, I'm going to have to revise several lines in Burned. There's a running gag in V3 that now may be in poor taste.

Erm...yeah. The timing on that gag now seems a bit...unfortunate.

Stoked that you're not running scared like so many devs (understandably) are and glad that you are releasing the next version of Malignant soon!

Can't wait!

I don't think we should take a cue from the Australians with their false double standards.
Thank you for your work and take the time you need.

 

[Harmonic]

Yes, such news about Westi sounds extremely ambiguous, and even outrageous. Against the background of the fact that methamphetamines were allowed in australia and they want rumors that they can allow bestiality.

ETA on next update?

EARTH SHATTERING, PANTS SHITTERING SUPER UBER MAJOR UPDATE!!!​

I'm going to suspend payments to my Fanbox page. I know there's gonna be a lot of questions, so I've compiled a handy FAQ for what that means moving forward.

WHAT!? OMG BUT WHY???
I don't want your money.
-SNIFF- SO... IS THIS... GOODBYE?
No. I'm gonna try to keep this page up and you can still be a fan and get updates here. (Hopefully? I think that's something you can do here. Lets find out.) Alternatively join my

, follow me on Pixiv, or lurk on Lewdcorner. I'll probably remove the subscription options by the end of the week.
BUT WHY THO?
You're giving me money, and while I appreciate that you want to support me, that money isn't something I need. I'm good, bro. Keep your cash. I'm just happy people play my games and enjoy them.
BUT-- BUT-- BUT--
Yes, I'm still going to make my games. I just don't need you to pay me to do it.
EVEN BURNED?
Yes, even Burned.
IS THIS BECAUSE OF THAT ONE THING?
No. I've been planning this for a while. That thing tho? Woo-boy.
LEMME GUESS V2 OF MALIGNANT IS GONNA BE DELAYED AGAIN
Probably not. I'm still aiming for the end of the month (or a week or two afterwards) If you're reading this in September, then the statement still stands, it's just going to be that month.
IS THERE GOING TO BE A HAREM OPTION?
Yes, but in this economy you have to share the harem so there's heavy NTR. Sorry.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
It's a joke. Calm down.
NOT FUNNY. THAT'S LITERALLY THE N-WORD FOR VISUAL NOVELS
Okay. I'm going to go now.

If you only do your art as a pastime or for fun, i.e. as a hobby, then I can wait longer for updates. I can only hope that the constant, annoying questioning about the next update will finally stop. Do your thing, I think it's great.

[Montimer]

Absolute gigachad move right there. Would've been sweet to actually over time amass some following though.
Then again, it also puts a pressure. Pressure then breaks people's spirits and passion for the project.

 

[every10min]

@Deaufosse If you wanted to like, idk, release it tonight or whatever... I don't think I'd complain or anything... not that I care, just saying, you know, you could release it whenever is fine
