On average, about 4-5 weeks for major content updates (once per month), although 0.22 and 0.23 were a bit faster at 3 weeks each.
0.24 is planned to launch early April (for patrons), but I might release a smaller 0.23.5 mid-March to shorten the wait, then 0.23 would become free a bit earlier, too.
This game will show in Discord activity. Don't know why that's a thing that keeps happening with porn games. I want to shamefully jerk off to anime girls in secret, like god intended.
Generally speaking, for "basically free, but needs some support on patreon to keep developing it"-games like this, it's important to reach as many people as possible. That being said, it's hard to say how much marketing benefit this particular feature actually has, and your point is of course valid ^^', so we might reconsider this.
nevermind sorry ive found it now but not sure on how to find the other new content i have 50 attraction points with emily and iris but i cant invite them neither is the discipline option for jenna
After Mary's Chapter 2 story path is cleared and you've met Claire, go to the mansion entrance (where Claire's and Melanie's sandbox icons would be), there should be a new icon that lets you start Abby's event.
Hola xtone, me encanta este juego por favor podrías traducirlo al español el juego valoró mucho tu trabajo y esfuerzo este juego es maravilloso, te lo agradecería mucho saludos y un abrazo fuerte mi hermano
Una pregunta amigo, porque no le introduces el idioma español a el juego, se que cuesta hacer los personajes, las cinemática por eso admiro tu trabajo y tu esfuerzo, pero desearía que aquí el creador tomara en cuenta a los que hablamos al español.
TM gets major updates approximately once per month. New free updates come out when the next patron release is ready, and usually on a Thursday or Friday.
The next update will probably be on the 22nd or 29th this month, if everything goes as planned.
um ive noticed recently that theres no bathroom in the mansion besides the option for the pool. soooo umm will we get to see a bathroom for shower scenes and shit or no?
Hola buenas tardes tengan todos espero que estén bien primero que nada los felicito por su juego me gusto mucho me gustaría saber solo 2 cosas si pronto podrá haber para traducir a español y lo 2 es para cuando saldra la nueva actualización
mi español es horrible pero que si que existe un spanish patch (no somos nosotros que lo manteniemos), entra en nuestro discord y da me tag @xtone que te indico onde lo puedes encontrar
Either the apk is glitched or I have terrible RNG, but the fith ending for Kate's exhibition thing isn't showing up for me, I got the one where no one no one shows up, Emily shows, Mary shows and where Leyla shows
Terrible RNG can happen (it happened to myself during testing), but the Iris ending also needs you to have made enough progress with Iris, including having seen her exhib scene once (there are story reasons why the requirement is that high).
I guess I should add a hint about that somewhere...
Sorry to hear that, but we tested this before the release and it worked as intended on our end. As mentioned above, it's likely that the prerequisite for the Iris ending simply hasn't been fulfilled yet, but there's a low (but not zero) chance of bad RNG, too.
During testing when we had only Leyla's, Emily's and the 'nobody' ending and the probability was 40% for Emily and 30% for each of the others, I got Leyla's 9 times, Emily's 3 times and the nobody ending zero times in my first 12 attempts. I doubted the RNG, too... but when we ran tests in the 100eds, it started to even out and give the expected probabilities.
It's possible that RenPy's RNG implementation is a bit 'clumpy' somehow, but we need to use it to ensure savegame compatibility.
We'll try to improve this in the next update and also add in-game hints if the Iris ending isn't reachable yet.
im quite unsure about one thing, the side kate event, with the "go somewhere else" option, where do i find it? cuz ive checked every room, and i cant find it
That's an option among her sandbox options in her room, and you need to be in chapter 2.
Basically, visit her in her room during the day, and among the various options there should now be one to "Go somewhere (Exhibitionism)", if her relationship is at 5 already.
Hola buenos días buenas tardes o buenas noches tengan todos depende del país en que se encuentren espero que estén bien primero mi felicitaciones excelente juego una pregunta amigos no habrá la posibilidad que también allá la posibilidad que se traduzca también en español gracias y nuevamente felicitaciones
Sí, estoy de acuerdo en que Total Maidness es un juego excelente, por eso estoy emocionado una vez que termine el capítulo 2, el capítulo 3 podría serser una actualización masiva...
Sí, utilicé el traductor de Google para que puedas entenderlo, espero que esté bien traducido.
In Androids' case I'm not sure where the saves are stored.
However, normally it shouldn't matter, because as long as you don't delete your current installation and just update it with the new apk when it arrives, existing savegames should be kept and continue to work.
Update 0.21 will go into early access for Lv1 patrons later today and become public when 0.22 is ready for patrons, which will probably be around Feb 1st.
Are you on Android or a Windows/linux PC (or maybe Mac)?
For PC, you need to download the (PC) version above, unzip it somewhere and double-click the TotalMaidness.exe inside the extracted folder.
For an Android device, you need to download the (Android) version above and then tap on the downloaded apk to install the game (how or where to find downloads might depend on your device).
TM (or any other Ren'Py-based game) stores duplicates of savegames in some central system user folder and loads them from there too, so even if you simply extract the new version to a new folder (on Win/Linux/Mac) or update your existing installation on Android, the saves should still be there.
If you're on Android, just make sure to NOT delete the old installation, simply run the new .apk and it should update the existing installation.
There an issue with Kate and the bank. No matter how many times I finish and go back to Kate to review. It just take me back again restarting the whole bank event
However, it can be avoided: Instead of choosing the Review option at her door, go to your room and click on the hovering message over your bed. That one also takes you right to the review, and this one works correctly.
I'll upload a fixed version soon, in the meantime everyone needs to click on the message in the MC's room instead of the choice at her door.
Dungeon needs to be unlocked, both Emily and Leyla need to be unlocked as dungeon options (follow the hints if they aren't yet), then you need to have invited Leyla once and Emily twice (in Emily's case, you need to have had rough doggystyle sex in the dungeon twice).
There should be a text option hovering over your bed if it's not night yet, or alternatively you can access the scene at her rooms' door.If you're still on the same day you talked to the bank clerk, it's possible that you need to go to the next day first, I don't remember exactly.
If it still doesn't work after that, I'll have to look into it.
yeah after checking out this project for a few months now it has it's charm which is great game honestly you did yourself a great job indeed having a game like this that is cheesy at times but you know there's genuinely nothing bad with that.
The reason I just commented out of no where is because of an suggestion so now that you can have Iris as an alarm wake up option instead of Emily only and Iris only there should be an option where both can alternate in their maid cycle on room cleaning would make kinda sense as well but that's just a suggestion. Other than that tho there's like awkward looping on the pool scene of Kate (well maybe that's just a meme problem) and some black-ish dialogue box appearing for a bit then disappearing I mean if this is intentional then hey no worries it's fine I thought I would at least just mention it.
But yeah other than that keep up the great work, do it at your own pace and ofc have fun while doing so will check out your other games in the future cause honestly it ain't bad at all.
Phenomenal game. A little bummed out that Mary shares Leyla's pool animation instead of having her own, though. The Gallery option is also barebone and doesn't include many scenes I'd like to playback. The hint section could have been more detailed (I just accidentally unlocked the Emily+Leyla dungeon scene and Leyla's photoshoot dream even though the game says there are no more scenes in the current version)
However, overall I had an excellent experience.
I just wish that you give the option to pay for the game on itch.io and advanced updates based on the price used, like version 1.19 for free and 1.20 if purchased for $5 or more. I know Patreon is a monthly thing and will give more revenue in the long term, but still...
Thanks for the kind feedback! I'll try to fix or at least improve some of the issues you mentioned.

I'm not really against that myself, I'd actually prefer to offer something like this.
It's just that itch.io has been cutting off the 'collect payments through itch' functionality for a lot of adult content devs sincy early this year, and it's not entirely clear what the exact red flags are that trigger this (I have some guesses, but they're ultimately just that). And for a small part-time mostly-solo dev like me, the alternative of direct sales would be too much of a headache (payment processor ToS, major increase in bookkeeping and tax filing overhead and so on), so I'm pre-emptively playing it safe for now, to keep the 'collect through itch'-option around for my SFW games as well as some future 18+ projects that I consider less risky in this regard.
I'm not ruling out that I'll change my mind for TM at some point, this is just the reason why the option to pay for early access here on itch is currently missing.
Let me put it this way: I'd like to, but the amount of extra work and extra files would be quite large (probably too large) for what it offers, so I don't think this will ever become a general feature. Some sandbox scenes might get more variants in different clothes, maybe (though I can't guarantee it). But all story scenes and most lewd scenes will most likely stay the way they are.
Very soon. This week, in fact. Just can't give an exact date yet, as I want to launch it at the same time as the new patron update and there's still some last missing pieces to do for that one.
thx for replying.. i'm sorry i cannot help with donation simply because i have no method of payment i can do.. but good luck with what you are doing.. really love your game :)

You can disable that in preferences.

Thanks for the feedback!
i cant find the new update content in my game ive tried installing the game again but no abby content
nevermind sorry ive found it now but not sure on how to find the other new content i have 50 attraction points with emily and iris but i cant invite them neither is the discipline option for jenna
The Emily + Iris and Jenna discipline scenes are in 0.23, which is patron-exclusive for now.
In 0.22b, the other new scenes apart from Abby are a scene with Mary + Iris in the kitchen and the lobby and garden scenes for Jenna.
ah ok thanks for letting me know are they going to become public anytime soon?
Public releases are usually 1 step behind the latest patron release, so 0.23 would become public when 0.24 is ready for patrons.
Both 0.23 for patrons and the public release of 0.22 only came out yesterday, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few weeks.
How can I find Abby
After Mary's Chapter 2 story path is cleared and you've met Claire, go to the mansion entrance (where Claire's and Melanie's sandbox icons would be), there should be a new icon that lets you start Abby's event.
Okay thanks
Brother thanks for bringing total maidness
PD: Emily's menu is buggy and it takes you out of the game.
Uh... which menu do you mean?
Are you getting an error message?
Emily's option gives an error and takes you out of the game
That's strange...
I can't reproduce the problem here.
Could you make a screenshot of the error message you are getting?
this is what is happening
Love the update! 😁
Can't wait for the next update!
I for some reason get kick out when I try to play the game. Help
Hm... on what system (OS)/device are you trying to play TM?
realme C30s an Android but I think I have to update my phone...I don't know. 😔
Cual es la ala oeste

um ive noticed recently that theres no bathroom in the mansion besides the option for the pool. soooo umm will we get to see a bathroom for shower scenes and shit or no?
Oh yeh that'd be hot, I'd like to see more scenes in the gymnasium
Ah y yo por ahora no he tenido problemas con el juego

I guess I should add a hint about that somewhere...
Show post...
to expand on this, I spent 10 days of straight attempts, so that's 30 tries total and I _still_ didn't get it. This goes beyond bad RNG.
Sorry to hear that, but we tested this before the release and it worked as intended on our end.
As mentioned above, it's likely that the prerequisite for the Iris ending simply hasn't been fulfilled yet, but there's a low (but not zero) chance of bad RNG, too.

i made an account just to comment this... mary is so hot, can i please have her koikatsu card... or just the maid outfit is fine... im desperate
do you have discord? if yes, contact me on our discord server and we can work something out.

when will update 0.21 come out for free
Next Thursday if everything goes well, Friday at latest.
February 1 or 2 thats cool, Im excited for the final maid.
Does she have like a problem the mc's gonna need to solve like mary?
Well... I guess you could say she has a problem, in a way... just don't expect too much on that front.
can't download or install new update and the error message doesn't fit on screen
Hm... this looks like an issue on itch.io's end... I'll upload some mirrors.
On my end (PC), the downloads work.
Is this via the itch app?
via the app. yes.
hm... I don't know how exactly the itch app works, so unfortunately I don't know if there's anything I could do on my end.
a possible workaround would be to open the itch web page with some browser and download the APK from there, then installing it.
How I find the paste with my save on Android? I Want to use in the next update
In Androids' case I'm not sure where the saves are stored.
However, normally it shouldn't matter, because as long as you don't delete your current installation and just update it with the new apk when it arrives, existing savegames should be kept and continue to work.
Thanks man, I didn't know that all you had to do was download the new version and it updates the old one, thanks for the tip!
When is the new update?
Update 0.21 will go into early access for Lv1 patrons later today and become public when 0.22 is ready for patrons, which will probably be around Feb 1st.
I'm not sure what you mean?
Do you mean which file to download, or do you mean how to start the game after extracting the zip file?
Are you on Android or a Windows/linux PC (or maybe Mac)?
For PC, you need to download the (PC) version above, unzip it somewhere and double-click the TotalMaidness.exe inside the extracted folder.
For an Android device, you need to download the (Android) version above and then tap on the downloaded apk to install the game (how or where to find downloads might depend on your device).
When will 0.21 go public?
When 0.22 is ready for patrons, which I'm targeting for the end of this month.
okay thank you for responding
When is 20.6 going to be public?
When 0.21 is released for patrons (very soon, probably Thursday next week).
Was this character added to the game or not?
She'll arrive in update 0.21, which is almost done.
Fine, thank you
is there a way to get my saves to the new update? i have 0.19.1
That should work without having to do anything.
TM (or any other Ren'Py-based game) stores duplicates of savegames in some central system user folder and loads them from there too, so even if you simply extract the new version to a new folder (on Win/Linux/Mac) or update your existing installation on Android, the saves should still be there.
If you're on Android, just make sure to NOT delete the old installation, simply run the new .apk and it should update the existing installation.
I cannot talk to Emily in the kitchen.
At what point in the game are you?
Emily normally isn't in the kitchen, so I'm not sure what you're trying to do.
the icon is on quick nav.
its fine now.
Oh, I see. It might already be fixed in the latest patron version, but I'll check just in case.
Thanks for reporting it.
I'm struggling to figure out this 3rd side girl you were talking about in the update am I missing something
Right now, there are two sidegirls in the game, the bank clerk Claire, and the policewoman Melanie.
If you managed to unlock both of them, that's all there is in terms of side girls right now.
The next new girl to arrive is the 6th maid, but that's going to be in update 0.21.
There an issue with Kate and the bank. No matter how many times I finish and go back to Kate to review. It just take me back again restarting the whole bank event
Yes, that's a bug, sorry.
However, it can be avoided: Instead of choosing the Review option at her door, go to your room and click on the hovering message over your bed. That one also takes you right to the review, and this one works correctly.
I'll upload a fixed version soon, in the meantime everyone needs to click on the message in the MC's room instead of the choice at her door.
EDIT: This is fixed now.
How to unlock new maid?
Iris is unlocked at the start of chapter 2, although you need to headpat her a lot and go through her story to unlock the lewd content.
If you mean the new 6th maid that is previewed in the main menu, she's not in the game yet, she'll arrive with update 0.21 (the next update).
thanks for the reply.
how do I get this scene?
Dungeon needs to be unlocked, both Emily and Leyla need to be unlocked as dungeon options (follow the hints if they aren't yet), then you need to have invited Leyla once and Emily twice (in Emily's case, you need to have had rough doggystyle sex in the dungeon twice).
There should be a text option hovering over your bed if it's not night yet, or alternatively you can access the scene at her rooms' door.If you're still on the same day you talked to the bank clerk, it's possible that you need to go to the next day first, I don't remember exactly.
If it still doesn't work after that, I'll have to look into it.
How to impregnate the maids💀💀....
I think thats not implemented yet
Correct.
I have an idea about how to approach this, but it's still about 2 or 3 updates away.
yeah after checking out this project for a few months now it has it's charm which is great game honestly you did yourself a great job indeed having a game like this that is cheesy at times but you know there's genuinely nothing bad with that.

Do you plan on making an option to change the maid's outfits? Like their ch1 or casual ones?
Let me put it this way: I'd like to, but the amount of extra work and extra files would be quite large (probably too large) for what it offers, so I don't think this will ever become a general feature.
