The game version remains the same

Hello, people! I finally returned to you after dealing with my exams. Free and happy, I started to work on the next update. But Plaze texted me a few days ago, revealing my little dark secret. And I can't hide from it anymore. Young Maria is ... not a good game. It can be much, much better. After two or three years, it became pretty obvious to everyone - YM needs a good rebuild session. So, why I mentioned some dark secret of mine? The thing is, I knew it a long time ago, but I was afraid of the amount of work. YM is a huge and poor-built game. But I can't hide from this task anymore! It needs to be done.

Before we dive into big plans, let me introduce a new writer - Ali! He wrote a new scene for the school playground, and I want to show it to you. Here's the "raw" version - click. 2.400 words - this scene is huge! Enjoy~

Well, let's get back to our ambitious goal. I created a document to keep tracking of my thoughts - click. Here's just a rough sketch... plan of everything - I don't want to waste precious time on describing details. But I need your help. Please tell me what you want to see in the game and - what is much more important - what do you want me to change or remove completely. You can always contact me via email (MilkyNailMail@gmail.com) or Discord (MilkyNail (MariaMod)#1179).

I ordered a few pictures and pieces of music two days ago. And I already get two songs and a sketch of the main poster. If everything goes according to the plan, it will take a couple of months to finish this project. Anyway, I'll be collecting feedback from you for a few days, and then I begin to work.

I appreciate your support, and I hope you like this change. If you don't - write to me and tell me why! Don't forget to put lemon in your tea and see you in two weeks:3

Hello, Milkynail.

I've been playing your game about 2 weeks now, on and off and it's been fun to see all that's on offer.
  I've enjoyed many of the scenes and been genuinely moved by some of them (not what I expected, but very very good thing nonetheless.)
  

What I have noticed is that the female characters, are relatively undeveloped compared to the males, and it would be nice to see a more balanced experience. 
  For example the brother's room has a lot more stuff to do and opportunities for "fun", but the sister basically has the sleep scene and a couple of scenes that pop up randomly.  It would be neat to be able to search her room for toys like you can for the brother's magazines.
  And similarly, the father has a more opportunities than the mother, whose scenes tend to depend on the father's scenes occurring first.

I like the sound of the mini games and astral dimension.
  Teleporting to school at the right time is a good idea, even with the debuff. I don't particularly like how the parents spank you at 9:00 when you technically haven't missed a class yet, and thus they make you late for school. Maybe replace that with a scene where the parents get mad and drive you to school  while scolding you. (and i understand why getting spanked reduces corruption, but since the scene states you enjoyed it, it ought to increase corruption)
The spanking ought to trigger if you leave school early, and only when the parents get home from work, as currently the parents seem to teleport home from work to spank you, no matter what time it is.

I am really looking forward to seeing the new version of the game and will keep following you for updates.

All the best,
August.
