Hello everyone! What have you been up to? Enjoying the latest version of TM!, I hope! Today I would like to give you all a quick rundown of what you can expect in the near future of our game.

Let me start by saying that I'll be busy. Very busy. Both academic and work-related responsibilities will keep me occupied for a while, so while I'll do my utmost to avoid another long waiting time between updates, you can expect a slow start to the development process.

That said, I already have a clear idea of what I want the next update to look like, and I've already started with the prep work (backgrounds, sprites, initial dialogues, etc.). There are also a couple of other things I plan to do before tackling the next update head-on. Namely:

Well, I think that's everything I wanted to mention! Let me know your thoughts or any feedback you may have. See you around!

Why hello there! The way it's written right now, one may say that the description of the reward that our Grandmaster Tier offers is pretty vague. And I would definitely agree with that! I made this post in order to clarify any doubts you might have about it, so here you go.

What benefits  do I get with the Grandmaster Tier?

Besides extra voting power, you are entitled to receive a custom made, personalized scene, that will take place in the context of the latest Lemon Mint Soft game. You and me will get in contact and work together in order to craft a scenario that will fit your tastes.

What exactly qualifies as a "scene"?

Well, you aren't gonna ask me for a stage play, will ya? We are talking R-18 stuff here. The scene you can request will contain a reasonable number of different sexual acts, be of a similar duration to the individual scenes that are included in our visual novels, and will include however many graphics I consider necessary in order to make it look awesome. I don't mind writing any sort of introductions or aftermaths that the scene might need to feel complete either. I won't be putting a maximum ammount of lines for the scene or anything of the sort, the focus will be on making something that you and I both find satisfying.

Which restrictions apply?

The scene you request must involve one (or more) female characters that appear in the main game. Preferably, it will also only involve male characters that are present in the game, but I'm willing to negotiate on that.
The big one for me is that your scene needs to make sense in the context of the game. It's pretty obvious but, you can't do something like requesting a medieval fantasy scene on a game with an urban setting. Related to that, the actions that the characters perform must be consistent with their presented personalities. I know that this one is super subjective, but I care a lot about keeping things in-character. I'll try my best to be as flexible as I can with this one. To put an example, an ideal request for me in the context of Enjo Kosai would be something that can happen between Hideaki and Rin inside the hotel. You definitely can get more creative than that, though.
Besides that, there's some content I absolutely won't touch. Yaoi, furry, scat, torture and guro are out of the question. That's non-negotiable. Pretty much anything else is fair game.

When and how do I get it?

As a rule of thumb, I will start working on your scene after an entire month of you being in this tier. You can start messaging me about what you want as soon as you join the tier, though. Picturing the scene in advance should make the writing easier. I will try to deliver it as soon as possible, but rest assured, after spending three months in the tier you are guaranteed to get your scene no matter what, even if move to a new project in the meantime. I'll make sure send you updates on how the scene is progressing as I work on it. While I'll try my best to deliver these in time, keep in mind that updating the main game will always take first priority.
About how you're gonna get it, well... it's your choice! You can have exclusivity to your scene for a period of time, or decide that it's fine for me to share it with the rest of the our Subscribers as soon as it is finished, but keep in mind that all of these scenes will eventually be released to all Subscribers. If I think your scene fits just fine in the main game's continuity, I won't hesitate to add it there. Otherwise, it will be released as a stand-alone game first, and as an extra scenario for the main game once this one is completed.

Anything else I should know about it?

Initially, you can claim your custom scene benefit on a once-per game basis, as long as you stay in the tier. But... I don't mind rewarding the loyal ones! If you stay in the tier long enough, you might be able to get some extra scenes for yourself! The pricing for this tier is also subject to change, but it will remain as it is right now for the rest of this Twin Maniax! era. I will obviously notify you in advance when I plan to update the pricings.

And I think that's it for the Grandmaster Tier. Feel free to leave any additional questions you might have below. See you around!
