號I came across this game in May. It is really one of the few games that I think has a good plot. However, it has been a long time since the last update date and no update has been released. It is a pity. I hope the author can release a new update.
Hey, unfortunately until this update, the last scene with Sam is this one in the Sex Shop. But I suspect that the creator is planning something extra in the next update, since the game so far has not concluded this plot and her girlfriend is one of the characters that may like or dislike the protagonist.
based on their Patreon they’ve started work on it again. People get burned out and need a break. Also, if something doesn’t hit the marks they’re aiming for, it can be demotivating. What they’ve put out is great and I hope that it is completed. I can see a path to wrapping it up within a year, depending on the time and skill of the developer. (Based on the output ability of pinkcake). They really did create something that became complicated and hopefully they work out a way to simplify and tidy after their time off and reflection.
this is very sad…it was one of my favorite games and I was really looking forward to seeing more of it. Even if it would get paired down a bit, I’d like it to continue.
Good AVNs are always the first to die. Such a shame. But then, because this happens a lot with AVNs, unlike all other genres, it's the main reason people won't pay money for anything but a full game
Since everyone has been wondering about the game here is a copy and paste from his Patreon page....
March 12 2024
I'll just be honest with everyone here, for the last month or so, I have not worked on Maids and Maidens at all. I have just not enjoyed working on the game, and I have not been happy with where the game stands right now.
When I started working on this game back in 2020, I expected it to be done by now. I hoped I would be done with it by now and move onto other projects. I'm not blaming anyone else but myself for that. I have made the game more complicated than it needed to be, with too many characters and too many storylines. I thought I could handle it, but sometimes I just don't have the motivation to deal with it.
My revenue streams have also not grown in a substantial manner. Again, the blame is on nobody but me. The first impression is what matters the most in a crowded field, and I failed to make that first impression with my game. When I look back at some of the early renders I made, I want to throw my computer in the garbage. But none of this should matter to you. They are my own issues that I have to deal with. And I will deal with them. In the meantime, Patreon charges will remain paused.
I just hope I'm not burning bridges permanently with my supporters. I hope you all will be forgiving and keep supporting me the way you have done in the past.
I still love the characters I've created, and I won't abandon my girls. Maids and Maidens will return.
I really like this game man, Thanks for not abandoning the game. No matter how long it takes I'll wait. as an artist I understand that sometimes art doesn't give the same dopamine it used to give.
Please at least put a finish to the game. For one I took a liking to the game! So no matter what you as a creator must see it through following only what you had envisioned this game to be. Not what another person behind the screen wants the game to be.
Don't get me wrong its good to improve from feedback but dont let it destroy you or change the game entirely. Its a great game and my fav chick is the purple haired boobies girl.
If the creator checks this thread, I just want them to know, after numerous games downloaded and played, I finally created an itch.io account just to comment here in hopes of seeing this game continue. The cliffhanger it left on simply cannot be the end, and the characters are so varied and wonderful!
I do agree that the beginning could use a little reworking. It's obvious where the game changes significantly, with x-ray mode and better renders, but all that does is show how far the creator has come in turning a good story into a great game!
This is hands down my favorite Renpy game. You gave us so many options where we needed it, which is super uncommon. The characters are beautiful and well flushed out. I enjoy all of the story plot points that are heavy and serious, and was happily emotionally invested. Full support and good wishes to you Raybae <3 I hope that you find time for your own happiness and passions. 10/10
Played through this twice, the first time was regular ... just did whatever seemed right and it was ok. The second time I just focused exclusively on Maria (was nice to some of the other girls but didn't do anything with anyone but Maria) and liked it way better.
According to the Patron blog-- he is suffering from some burnout issues. Unlike other Patron's who just leave hanging while paying, he is suspending collecting payments or patron's until he refreshes himself. However, he still has a love for his characters, as we all do, and promises to come back.
How close would you say the game is to completion? Is it worth it to hold out for a bit before trying to play it all at once, or does it still have years to go before the final update drops?
How close to completion? Not anywhere close! The game is still introducing characters when it finishes the current content.
It sucks, because this was a good game. But it's probably dead. I guess the dev promised to come back when he no longer feels burned out, but there is no guarantee that will ever happen.
Well, (spoiler free) just got done. Missing like 5 things, so gonna run it again, but I had a feeling that ending for this version would be a huge possibility around the middle of the game, just by the way i played it. All I wanna say is, hopefully a certain character does get that to happen to her also. So much potential on how all this plays out now. Dev, you did a great job story telling, mixing in the sex stuff also. You rank up there in top dog for story telling, and top 3 for overall. I've played a few of these so far, and you and one other (won't name drop as I respect your work) are the best at this. Keep up the great work. Hopefully we get to see the next update soon, as I wanna see how this continues.
Fun story. Having to run 2 versions, one more naughty than the other, IMO.
Also, spoiler free, I caught onto the twist at the end of this update pretty quickly. I just guessed really early in game play. Nothing wrong with that, just nice to be right.
For real.. i thought i get some "fun" with this but actually the story is so well written it catched me more than the "fun" part. The "fun" part is like the cherry on top in between.
VERY VERY well made! Looking forward for the Updates!
Love the game, but really? Giving a heavily pregnant woman Pizza and cookies and soda?!!!!! Couldn't you have drawn meat and vegetables or something! I found it annoying and just plain bad information to gamers!
So...you want games to teach you a healthier way to live. I guess that you would like porn games to force monogamy onto the MC. In fact NO SEXUAL SITUATIONS until both the MC and the LI have been to the doctor and received a thorough and complete physical and STD tests. Have the MC in bed every night at 8:30pm sharp. No alcohol or drugs. Use condoms and/or birth control pills. Make sure that their diet is nutritionally sound, with no more than 1800 calories per day. They should work out at the gym regularly. Ride a bicycle everywhere. And they should probably also grow their own vegetables in order to guarantee that the "organic" produce that they eat is actually organic.
That sounds super fun and exciting! Dumbass.
How about teaching people to enjoy their lives, and NOT being a preachy little bitch? That seems like the ideal way to make a game, a book, a movie, an internet post, or pretty much anything.
Let me quote some dumbass named 'Merlin:' "As much as I wanted to laugh at you're post, you are right. Games have the opportunity to teach the gamers a healthier way to live." D'oh!
YOU are the one that said Johnny was right for wanting games to teach people a healthier lifestyle.
Furthermore, that you are a Patreon simp for 25 games PROVES that you haven't got the sense that God gave to a rock.
Yes, my partner and I had 3 kids, so we know about cravings. You might like to know is while she says a pregnant woman "could eat any old shit", she agreed that the combination chosen in the game was "unrealistic".
Yes. Pizza, cookies, and soda. What an unrealistic combination of foods.
Apparently both you AND your partner are retarded. May God help those little idiots that you claim to have sired. Their ONLY chance is that your partner has been cucking you with Neil DeGrasse-Tyson!
I'm a MAN, I can't even possibly get pregnant. But those items would be an acceptable Saturday night dinner/dessert combination.
Oh my, it was said on the internet, so it MUST be true! It's a good thing that there is no way to post false information in one of these forums. LMAO
If you were actually married with 3 kids, you would KNOW that getting between a pregnant woman and her cravings is the quickest way to divorce court, or maybe the morgue.
Hell, if you had an IQ even into the low double digits, you would know that video games are meant to be light hearted entertainment, NOT vehicles for social conditioning.
I truly hope that you are lying about having kids. Otherwise, with you guiding their development, they will grow up too stupid to remember to breathe.
There is one I know of where you don't choose but you will a relationship of that sort with dozens of girls for certain and is not an option, it's called hero's party must fall.
this game is easily in my top 10 AVN's of all time. It's sad that updates are long in between but they are always worth it. I have already replayed this 3 times and it's still captivating me. I always lose track of time because of it. So i really commend the creator for being able to do this. And i'm saying this while having read a lot of AVN's.
So kuddo's and i hope the next update will come shortly :D
Love the game but I just have two things I have to get off my chest. Firstly, the phrase is "have a seat" not "have a sit"(Sounds too much like 'have a shit'). Secondly, where on Earth do you live that children can inherit debt? The worse thing that can happen is that the remaining debt will be paid off by the assets of the estate which means the children may get less or nothing of their inheritance but virtually never will they be held responsible for debt incurred by parents, at least in the states.
It's common across the Middle East, western Asia, and Africa for debts to be inherited. It actually forms a legal slavery system in many developing countries.
I wasn't sure about this one when I started it but I have to say it is fantastic. I really love the writing and the characterization is great. It's very intersting, at times very funny and at times sad. The best thing about it so far for me is the pacing. Best pacing I have seen in a game like this in awhile. So thank you. I'm happy I purchsed it. Keep it up :-)
*edit - the only complaint I have is the protagonists skin looks really pasty and off color. Very odd looking to me at least.
Can't wait for next update, next time I get some spare cash I'll donate towards your goal. P.S. Please in the future after Carla has her baby let us put one in her. I'll raise the ex's kid but I want her to give us one of our own. Keep up the great work!

Does the gallery contain with Sam S scene?, or is it only when she giving us handJ?, thank you

But I suspect that the creator is planning something extra in the next update, since the game so far has not concluded this plot and her girlfriend is one of the characters that may like or dislike the protagonist.
I just recently discovered the game and it is really good!
To bad that it is (seemingly) abandoned...

I don't care about the render quality so much as I care about getting a complete story.

DO YOUR BEST! ITS A GOOD GAME!!!!!!!

I ABSOLUTELY must see Jameela and Rahee reunited!
Umm, I'm really curious about it's next route... Does anyone know?
yes...just posted a comment on that
I couldn't fuck Carol, I always took care of her and this bitch didn't leave on day 34, she only ate ice cream
not yet in the current version, i also try every other choices and the result blue balls 🤣
Que ha pasado con el juego, me quedé hasta el día 34 y no hay más actualizaciones
This is hands down my favorite Renpy game. You gave us so many options where we needed it, which is super uncommon. The characters are beautiful and well flushed out.

When will the next update release?
Bump
.
Played through this twice, the first time was regular ... just did whatever seemed right and it was ok. The second time I just focused exclusively on Maria (was nice to some of the other girls but didn't do anything with anyone but Maria) and liked it way better.
Is the creator gonna continue this game
Loved it. the story the sex all of it.
Read somewhere that the guy behind it need to charge up before he continues, really hope he will get it soon cause I really want him to continue.
Hope we will see an update soon.
Is this game abandoned? that would suck
He's in hiatus
I check this every week for a new update... :(
i just want to ask do i have sex with sam if i play my cards right
What's the bonus render's? are they added scenes for the game or just added content that doesn't affect the gam?
Really curious about where the Sam route is going hehe
Tried to become a patron on Patreon but it says you arent allowing any new subscribers?? Is this intentional or a glitch?
According to the Patron blog-- he is suffering from some burnout issues. Unlike other Patron's who just leave hanging while paying, he is suspending collecting payments or patron's until he refreshes himself. However, he still has a love for his characters, as we all do, and promises to come back.

Gotta appreciate that, rarely dev do that
I played a month ago and this game is great. the storyline and the animations are designed really good. Waiting for the next update
Maids and Maidens - Win/Linux 3 GB
the link doesn't seem to work
Worked fine for me.
Well, (spoiler free) just got done. Missing like 5 things, so gonna run it again, but I had a feeling that ending for this version would be a huge possibility around the middle of the game, just by the way i played it. All I wanna say is, hopefully a certain character does get that to happen to her also. So much potential on how all this plays out now.

Hopefully we get to see the next update soon, as I wanna see how this continues.
I knew it was coming sooner or later question is is ally next or my maid maybe that gets ally to stay i like her
Fun story. Having to run 2 versions, one more naughty than the other, IMO.

Love the game, but really? Giving a heavily pregnant woman Pizza and cookies and soda?!!!!! Couldn't you have drawn meat and vegetables or something! I found it annoying and just plain bad information to gamers!
Better than giving her pickles
That's all you have to say?!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oh, Merlin, deleting your own posts is the very height of cowardice.
It's perfect for you.
Ever heard of cravings? NEVER tell a pregnanat woman what to eat, or are you suicidal?
Maybe you need to experience life a little more before you start giving advice.
Well, at least I'm not the only respondent that isn't a virgin.
Yes, my partner and I had 3 kids, so we know about cravings. You might like to know is while she says a pregnant woman "could eat any old shit", she agreed that the combination chosen in the game was "unrealistic".
Yes. Pizza, cookies, and soda. What an unrealistic combination of foods.
Apparently both you AND your partner are retarded. May God help those little idiots that you claim to have sired. Their ONLY chance is that your partner has been cucking you with Neil DeGrasse-Tyson!
I'm a MAN, I can't even possibly get pregnant. But those items would be an acceptable Saturday night dinner/dessert combination.
personally i took the food selection as a tongue n cheek joke of stereotypical pregnant junkfood
Why can't pregnant women have pizza, cookies, and soda?
What kind of idiot thinks that the food depicted in a video game (especially porn) is an educational guide?
What kind of moron thinks that pregnant women should be kept on a strict diet with no tasty junk food.
The good news for you, Johnny, is that you'll die a virgin. Otherwise, you would be bankrupted simply due to the number of divorces in your future.
See my post above. Married with 3 kids....! Obviously you're the 60-year-old virgin. Not me!
Oh my, it was said on the internet, so it MUST be true! It's a good thing that there is no way to post false information in one of these forums. LMAO
If you were actually married with 3 kids, you would KNOW that getting between a pregnant woman and her cravings is the quickest way to divorce court, or maybe the morgue.

I truly hope that you are lying about having kids. Otherwise, with you guiding their development, they will grow up too stupid to remember to breathe.
keep making this game its soooo good
When will the version 0.11 is coming ????
At least don't use game-generated honey select girls
Is this game completed?
no, not yet.
Most likely not ever.
Are there any games similar to this? where i can choose a slave/master relationship with someone?
There is one I know of where you don't choose but you will a relationship of that sort with dozens of girls for certain and is not an option, it's called hero's party must fall.
"Cosy Café "...
What a great little game that is.
this game is easily in my top 10 AVN's of all time. It's sad that updates are long in between but they are always worth it. I have already replayed this 3 times and it's still captivating me.

For those wondering of the games status, this is a half rip from the patreon page
"Progress Update: December 2023
4 days ago (as of 01/03/24)
Hello everyone, Progress for Maids and Maidens v0.11 is going well. More than 80% of the writing is complete and about 500 renders have now..."
So it's still in progress, it has not died
Is this dead? If yes pretty sad considering it felt super promising
Check Pateron if you want to know the current progress.
Finished the story...left us on a cliff hanger lol. Is more coming??
I wasn't sure about this one when I started it but I have to say it is fantastic. I really love the writing and the characterization is great. It's very intersting, at times very funny and at times sad. The best thing about it so far for me is the pacing. Best pacing I have seen in a game like this in awhile. So thank you.

Is pregnancy an option?
I agree it should be
Can't wait for next update, next time I get some spare cash I'll donate towards your goal.
P.S. Please in the future after Carla has her baby let us put one in her. I'll raise the ex's kid but I want her to give us one of our own. Keep up the great work!
