Development News!

Hi, everyone! 

First of all, we have some great news! This year Manka Games is participating in the Hentai Expo 2024 with the (non)trivial! This hot event will be held on May 19th! Please support us there!

Let's talk about our game development progress! It's been a while since we had any public news, so we have quite a lot of information about both projects, (non)trivial and Tame It Too!

As you probably already know, we've released a new prototype of Tame It Too! here for patrons and on Steam and itch.io for all owners of the first game. Now we're actively working on it, developing new mechanics, refining the story, creating new characters, planning new locations and gameplay elements.

New characters

In Tame It Too! Lee will have several new girlfriends who belong to different types of monster girls. We've already finished the 3D model of the rabbit girl and are testing it in the game engine.

We have 2D visual concepts for the rest of the girls, and now we're making a 3D model of the next girl in the line, and it's a young cow girl!

Breeding

We are currently developing one of the core mechanics of Tame It Too! and that is breeding! It's quite complex and includes the processes of impregnation, pregnancy, birthing, turning the next generation into an adult, etc. We try to make all these processes smooth and interesting. For example, the girls will grow their bellies and breasts gradually, and after giving birth, all this will not immediately return to its former shape. Breeding is such an exciting gameplay that it deserves its own topic, and maybe we'll tell more about it to our patrons soon!

New locations

As we mentioned before, the island, which is presented in the prototype, is not the whole world of Tame It Too! and now we're developing new locations, which will also be quite large. On one of them Lee will be able to build his village, on the other there will be the territory of the hostile cats who kidnapped Tonya, and there are going to be several new points of interest related to the story. 

Plot and quests

We have refined the previously conceived plot, fixing all the important and exciting twists and turns. There is more in-depth detailing of all the story events ahead, work on quests, and then writing dialogs. We're planning a lot of interesting things for Lee and his female companions!

New UI elements

Since we're adding a lot of new mechanics, they all require their own menus and other UI elements. For example, we've made character cards for each girl, where you can see her stats and the progress of your relationship with her.

New prototype version

We're planning to show new mechanics, including breeding, pretty soon! The upcoming update will include the new character, Bunny, hot scenes with her, and the possibility of pregnancy and offspring! So keep an eye on the news not to miss the release of the updated prototype!

As for (non)trivial, we're gradually getting closer to the release of the new build! It will include new interesting game features, most notably the long-awaited stealth mode, as well as new characters, locations, new hot scenes, and much more! 

New features

We have added a lot of new features to the next build of (non)trivial! One of the main mechanics, the journal has been improved and significantly expanded, and now records a lot of useful information about the people Vi is tracking. The game will have a full-fledged store, where Vi can buy important items. 

Stealth

One of the key mechanics of the game is almost ready, allowing you to secretly follow characters on the streets and learn their secrets and their daily lives. You'll be able to choose any character and go after them at any time of the day! Stealth is a complex and interesting feature, and in the upcoming build we'll show only the first variant of its game implementation. It will be changed, expanded and improved in the future during the development of the game.

New characters

We've created several new characters,both minor and major to the story.

And you'll finally get to meet the game's second protagonist, Sam, who will start his own plot twist related to his childhood friend.

Beginning of the investigation

Together with Vi, you'll begin investigating the dangerous and exciting case of the girls' disappearance. In the new build, you'll have the opportunity to discover the first clues and leads in the case.

New hot scenes

Several new animated spicy scenes are coming in this update! Some of them will show characters you already know, and some of them will involve new ones!

New locations

Several new 2D and 3D locations are ready! A pastry shop and gym on the first floor of the building across the street, a new apartment, Vi's work, a park, etc. Which means there will be a lot of new places for unusual and naughty situations to see!

But most likely the pastry shop and the gym won't be in the next build, we'll add them to the game later.

We're doing our best to release a new build of (non)trivial this month, so be sure to stay tuned so you don't miss anything!

Thank you all for your support, it's very important for us, because only with your help these exciting games can get to the full release!

We wish you all a great mood and a wonderful weekend! 😘
