Milking Mira! News

This is a small patch mostly attempting to fix some achievement issues reported by players.

• Added more redundancy checks for milk bottle collection achievements.
• Fixed a logic error on "Fully Equipped" achievement and added another redundancy check to it.
• Restored glove mouse cursor that was missing in the last build.

When testing this build, I had to recompile it because I had the same loading problem where clicking buttons wouldn't load between scenes. However, I realized that this might have been recent since I was preparing some stuff for Milking Sophie DLC that may have gotten mixed up. Disabling the WIP of new DLC corrected the issue during testing, but let me know if that problem is happening to anyone in this version and I'll see what I can do.

Hey guys! We’re back to our regular workflow and have prepared a poll to gain some insight on what players want us to prioritize next.

Ultimately, we are limited by time vs budget, so these ideas take that into account and most are smaller in scale. We can safely take on about 6 months of dev-time at the moment and this has been considered with the poll options. There's a post that was made recently that goes into more detail on the budget and inner workings of the dev team for those interested.

You can vote or abstain and the results will be aggregated with the Patreon version of the poll.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed(?) Critical Cerise Bug: Cerise should now be loading properly regardless of which drive you install the game on. This bug has been a massive trial and error process because it seems to be linked to initialization of Steam’s API. I’ve added new redundancy checks when loading and replaced a loading method that was obsolete.
  
• Fixed AutoSkip Cutscene and Breast Size Capacity Link toggles not saving in the settings menu.
• Fixed Light Switch and Thermostat buttons not unlocking when items were obtained via RNG

• AutoSkip Cutscene Toggle now skips the breeding cutscene as well.

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Running the game from another hard drive is causing scenes to not load properly: I originally thought that this was due to a problem with the DLC but it may be something different. I suspect that it's something to do with Async loading since spam clicking the scene loading buttons works, as if bypassing the loading screen all together. Please avoid installing the game on a drive other than the C drive until I can track this bug down.
  
• Possible Data Loss when Switching Characters: Haven’t been able to replicate this one but still have people saying it’s occurring to them. It’s possible that fixing the DLC has also fixed this, but I’ll continue searching for a cause.
  
• Players Unable to Unlock Max Rank Item for Either Character: Haven’t been able to replicate this either. Only thing at the moment is to keep milking until the Milk Goddess rank is reached and the white bar under it can no longer be filled.
  

I need help from the community with this because getting DLC to work is a nightmare. We recently finished setting up our PCs after moving but it wasn't exactly smooth as my main PC's drive was damaged during the move.

Please let me know if any of the problems you were having are still happening either in this post or the bug report thread made after the last patch.

EDIT: Had someone mention that the DLC disappeared with this update but was resolved after a PC reboot. This patch changes some core things about how the game tries to fetch data from Steam, so please try rebooting and relaunching the client if the DLC was working before but suddenly isn't.

Hey guys, we’ve been putting together some known issues with the game to help others that might be running into them. If you have a problem that isn’t listed here, please comment it below and I’ll investigate it for the next patch.

Our moving date is creeping close so I won’t be able to tackle these until we’re settled in the new place, but I’d like to have a clear idea of what’s broken at the moment.

[h2]KNOWN ISSUES[/h2]
Save Data Problems and Odd Unlock Inconsistencies: I’ve had a couple of people mention odd problems with unlocking the final item and some progression not saving. The biggest lead on this that I have is that it could be due to installing the game on a drive other than where your windows install is located. I tested running it from the F drive and the game was acting wonky, so there is absolutely something there.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Install the game on your C: drive and see if issues persist.
2. If you played an older version prior to 1.1.0, try deleting data and going with a fresh save. It’s possible that some of the core mechanic changes broke some saves.

Cerise’s chain restraints on her left arm are sometimes floating: I haven’t been able to replicate this but someone shared a screenshot on discord of it. I suspect something with the physics but can’t fix this bug at the moment. There’s a chance that this is also due to installing the game on another drive.

Golden Party Time and The Witching Hour items stack and can get a bit overwhelming visually: It doesn’t seem to break anything but if its too much, we can make those items exclusive in a future patch.

The Witching Hour Candle Puzzle: Not a bug but you have to look closely at the candles and the particle effect will indicate which one is next.

If you are reporting a bug, please include information such as your operating system, whether you’re running the Steam version or not, and any particular quirks about your setup such as multiple hard drives and what not. I'm currently prioritizing game breaking bugs so some cosmetic stuff like floating chains will be lower on the list.

Thanks everyone, I’ll be checking back here periodically when I can find some time.

Alright! I've been busting my ass trying to squash every bug I can find, and I should hopefully have resolved several of the recent ones that have been reported. Thanks for everyone's co-operation in finding some of these.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
-Changed color on Golden Party Time Item: This item is Mira’s final rank unlock but it was color coded as a general item. Additionally, a small text with “MAX” has been added to hint at the unlock condition.

-Fixed page buttons in tool panel displaying “Camera” on mouse over.

-Fixed issue with Mira’s rope boobs not working with key-based milking inputs.

-Fixed broken buy buttons on Golden Party Time and Witching Hour: These items had a price of 0 in the backend since they were meant to be max rank unlocks. Clicking where the buy button would be was instantly unlocking the item.

-Fixed wrist chain on Cerise that was layered improperly.

-Fixed Vibrator Stat Bug: The vibrator item was incorrectly modifying the production stat, causing lower than intended production, and on Mira going into the negatives.

-Delayed DLC check order: Some players have been having problems getting the DLC to show up. This may have been due to Steam taking longer to initialize than expected and causing the DLC load to fail. It’s an odd problem that I haven’t been able to fully prove the cause of, so if you are still having this issue after this patch, please let me know any additional details about your setup that you may have. One player was able to fix it by just completely closing steam and reopening it.

-Fixed issue with some items unlocking for one character but not the other? I have this one with a question mark because it’s an intermittent issue affecting some players. I adjusted the save system to hopefully resolve it but please let me know if you are still having this problem. Unlocking something on any character should have it immediately available for the other.

-Added arrow keys to manual milking inputs.

-Removed “Fixed Reward Text +0” from final rank up UI: This was a remnant from the original ranking mechanic where it used to give fixed stats on rank up.

-Added missing autosave call to purchasing items.

-Added UI buttons for the Thermostat and LightSwitch: These buttons do not do anything once the item is unlocked, but they allow players to mouse over them for more details on the item. They also allow purchasing the item pre-emptively since these were only obtainable through RNG.

-Slightly improved visibility of available stat points icon.

-Cerise’s chain restraints on her left arm are sometimes floating: I haven’t been able to replicate this but someone shared a screenshot on discord of it. I suspect something with the physics but can’t fix this bug at the moment.

-Golden Party Time and The Witching Hour items stack and can get a bit overwhelming visually: It doesn’t seem to break anything but if its too much, we can make those items exclusive in a future patch.

-Old Saves / Cloud Saves from a previous version may cause rank and item unlock issues: The update had significant changes to how the rank system and unlocking items works. Unfortunately, the best thing to do in this case is to delete all data and start a fresh save. IF that still doesn’t resolve it, then please let us know any additional details you may have about your setup.

Thanks for milking! Any further issues will unfortunately need to wait until we finish with our upcoming move, but the game should be more stable now.
