Vortex00 
I will try to keep this short text walls But that is basically impossible because I wouldn’t have a Site update unless there was a lot to say. lol.
Site updates:
Mark put in some work over on patreon to get over the first goal. Because I didn’t bother looking too much at server plans on my current host, I just noticed they have a limited amount of bandwidth unlike the plan I am on now that has unlimited bandwidth. Last month about 5TB of bandwidth was used but the VPS plans have only like 2 TB. I think the max was 3? and each TB is about additional $75. The price a can easily get out of control. Faster site for lass bandwidth and higher expenses? or use the money for game development instead? that is the question I will ask.
Project updates:
So far literally every dime I have received has gone back into game development. I have gotten so far about $880 from bandcamp. and patreon is about at $200 monthly. After Update 3 I will probably be done with bandcamp and just use patreon. Thanks to every who purchased from bandcamp (or even wanted to) or signed up for patreon. most of that plus my own money went into ARIA art and animations from pinoytoons. I think so far I have paid pinoy around $1400 or so? $1400 worth of art and animation folks.. lol. Another part of it went into UMCC art resources for later use. And some of it will go towards getting help re-coding portions UMCC in the more advanced coding language for flash asctionscript3, and significant improvements from the old actionscript2.
Umichan Maiko Classroom Cheaters:
I enlisted some help from JoSilver to get some initial work done on a new UMCC engine. This covers basically all the first person stuff, which is a considerable portion of the game. That is going to be $350 plus some unspecified amount. depending various factors like if the game get really popular or something and makes tons of money. Well see. Anyways so far it is looking pretty spiffy. Not much to see yet. But when there is I will let you know.
So for UMCC since I will have some assistance coding I want to try to get it back to mostly first person how I had initially envisioned it. So the mini games would also be in first person. I want as a test, to try out a fight system and a hentai pleasure system both in first person. Here is how I see it happening. Basically.. pleasure service would be just like in UMCC but in first person. you would see (from first person) Maiko’s hand on the guys junk stroking him. and if you have a girlfriend with Maiko they would be across from Maiko doing stuff like fingering themselves or groping. I want to add some more replay value to it so it might a bit more complex than how it was previously. The guy she is stroking can also be a boyfriend. And perhaps fingering if the person receiving the service is female.
for the fighting in first person that would be similar to how… You know how the characters can come in close to Maiko in UMCC? kind of like that… Pattie does it on her first story scene and Joiry does it when you first enter the school and get into that scuffle with Luma. I see it as they will zoom in and attempt to attack Maiko. you can push them away, or attack, or block or rip their clothes, etc. And it can be 2 or 3 vs 1. Once I get those two mini games solid with a decent progression system, then the rest of the game would be cake.
Also I plan to bring back Maiko being able to button and unbutton clothes and stuff. And similar to custom character Jay. other student will be able to do things to Maiko. I will also have people moods in there. So for example someone who likes Maiko might not go somewhere with her simply because they are in a bad mood. And or will perform worse in activities. the opposite is true for being in good moods. So there is all of that. But first just the pleasure minigames and the fighting mini games fleshed out.
ARIA:
Pinoy is back working on ARIA stuff after he needed to pause for some personal reasons. He is currently working on the Yuri animations. Also Eriot is working a spiffy display and graphics for the user interface of the game. So the game game overall should be pretty cool looking and have some nice animations. ARIA is not a long game like Umichan. I actually designed it be relatively long or as short as you want it to be. I think I will have some stuff unlock for beating the game in different ways.
DoE:
I had been planning to make this into some sort of hentai game But I want to be careful how I go about doing it. More on this later.
JLCK:
Nothing at the moment. JLCK takes place after the event that happen in UMCC, ARIA, and DoE
Product Updates:
Nothing at the moment worth mentioning yet.
About Author
UMCC
Wow back to the original first person view idea of the old demo. Hope everything comes out right for you man. Giving a option of 3rd person or 1st person is going to be very tricky to do and would take a lot of coding to do. Hope the guy you partner with to help with the good works out for you. Maybe looking at Snowball Holiday Flash what was right about and what was wrong about it. Might help you plan for the next step.
DoE
Yeah I know you had a idea of a hentai for this. With showing a special scene that shows Wave clones being use more than just for fighting. But also doing hostess service. But you told me that was for later. You talk about this in your Vortex00 dot com website the every old website. I remember the old DoE having to have a little MK Mythology type game play. But do to the long code in DoE and how long it was taking. You drop that plan and turn it into a fighting game.
ARIA
Good to know 2 people are working with you on this project. This one might come out smoothly for you. There might be some bumps put can be fix after. This one would be interesting to see what 3 people are doing, Vortex00, Pinoy and Eriot. Lucky for Skullo he gets to see what his GF is drawing for the BG theme.
JLCK
I already play a demo of this and know a little that he have a action adventure RPG type of feel. By the look of the demo I play I was able to also move up and down kind of like Double Dragon. I get the feeling JLCK will be something totally different than the demo I played so long. Since this is the big daddy of the original project. Hell you stop JLCK and make the decision of giving it first spin off to explain the confusing plot what is going on. Before you focus as Gheist as the main character. The big question you should ask yourself is this. In what type of form you want to take Ghiest beat em up, Adventure, action, RPG, action-RPG, point and click etc. Me I think you should look at what Dragon Age did since it focus your relationship with the rest of the characters depending on your decision. Gheist would have make decisions that will effect what is going on around here. That is my 2 cent about the big daddy of the project.
Glad to see you have a team to work with. Who knows maybe more teams you would be working with. The last one you did with a team was Vandead LQ and that turn out awesome.
dude you went waaaay back lol. I just planed to do the first person only. not the switchable third and first person views.
I’m not sure what I want JLCK to be. But I think if people can understand ke characters like Maiko Sixxe, Annie, and the overall lore of the story, then all will be good with whatever. it might even be in some form of 3D.
Will the views have the option to change? From how its today and this more first person fused option?
I like the idea, its going to be something new and makes you feel like Maiko even more. The parts I think that i might miss is when you got to appreciate Maiko too, when she does her actions and you got to look at her. So i wonder what are your plans, hehe.
I am happy you got your first objective a patreon. After our talk these days, I think the best option is to invest in your games, more than the website. Sure there is traffic, but i dont see much commotion here. Even more after the points you explained about prices for it. Making the game better you increase people playing and helping it get even better and with that, if you get more donations, you can think about the server when the time it becomes a problem comes.
I know you said its still early, but I am glad Joe Silver accepted to work with you, the “team” seems to grow even more. You are still the one who works the most on stuff and the responsible for everything, since pinoytoons is just working for you and not really with you. Eriot is helping the way she can and now there is Joe S. Maybe the day you only direct and are the creative mind behind it all is coming?
All I can say is that i am excited for these new changes, the new system for the game and all that might come from it. Good luck!
Currently the views have no option to change. I just want to focus on the first person aspect of it as much as possible. even in older version the shower stuff was first person also. even swimming was first person. But yeah it is important the players understand what they look like. That is why in some parts I showed Maiko. I’ll figure out something. I will get pinoys input from time to time. I don’t want him drawing something he is not comfortable with or is not excited about drawing. I think there are already enough people here that could write and entire script for a complete umichan game. All that I would need is one or more artists. Maybe one on lines and the other coloring to spread out the work some sort of way.
I’m not really sure why you want to switch over to first person view for UMCC…
I get that you’re playing as Maiko, but, honestly, who are you trying to appeal to? I’m pretty sure the majority of your audience are straight men… How many straight men are going to enjoy a zoomed-in view of Maiko’s hand jerking off a dick, from Maiko’s perspective?
@S_K
Heh, the game is not created with a target audience in mind. So I’m not really to appeal to anyone, mainly because that limits what I would be able to do. Just like your comment suggests. If I had been trying to appeal to others, the game would have been very much different to say the least, even from the start. the same stuff you already see commonly already.
I think that is a issue with a lot of games presently. They are on rails, only going with what has worked previously, and too afraid to deviate or flip the script, because they need to for certain appeal to a market that expects certain things so they can profit.
But the questions really is, if everyone does this, then who will discover what else works? There are plenty of games where you can watch some chick get boned. I am trying to do something different here. to innovate. why not watch some chick getting boned, as a chick, an can finger yourself or stimulate the scene further by groping yourself or saying certain things? If you come across some dude has his dick in your face and you don’t like it? well push him away and beat him up if want to.
I’m am creating a game where it puts people in the shoes of Maiko. Or otherwise someone of sexual desire by other characters in the game. And the player experiences everything she does and can make her decisions and have her do certain things, or not do certain things, just like how it is already but with more.
You can literally just watch your girlfriend do everything if you want to. It is probably not nearly as bad as you are thinking to be honest. But yes finding a audience is tricky, but am okay with that. I am pretty confident in what I am doing. So my answer to your questions is, the ones that choose to do it.
Well Vortex00 maybe you should examine this flash. Trust me it might help you make what Maiko sees looking down at her body. Or even looking at the mirror seen her self. I always like how this user did that. Instead of Maiko looking at her boobs being all funny looking.

I had seen the before but forgot about it, I will mention it to Jo
@justjoe2k
tonight Jo and I tried several way for this to work, talked about ti significantly, but didn’t really any solution that looks good with those highly detailed backgrounds. we cut it up all kinds of ways. that seems to only really work on simple backgrounds. we’ll try it again later. going to make progress in other areas for now.
mother fucker i bagth your astuped album and i dident get the game WTF i wanted the game
god dem it
in the bandcamp files there should be a swf file named:
Vortex00 – UMCC Khalei Butterfly OST – UmichanMaikoClassroomCheaters.swf
That is the game
the readme files explains how to run the game.
I would explain more but, I just sent you a refund instead.
have a nice day
-V00
krissi seriously why are you being so mean. to the point that i have 2 things to say to you to attempt to fix that attitude of you.
first off let me be a grammar nazi for a little bit. you should have spelled your complaint as “mother fucker i bought your stupid album and i did not get the game WTF i wanted the game god dame it”
now this is cumming from a person with dyslexia (in other word i have horribly spelling and grammar), so my insult to your intelligence is not needed.
the second thing is when you make a complaint to the person that is making the game you act helpful and kind, because it is probably a bug. if you asked for help he would have helped you out and then lerned from the mistake, but now your just hurting the producers felling. also remember he is doing the game for free. in other words its a download so what album are you talking about. plus jumping to conclusions before you even try to find out what went wrong yourself is not a smart idea. and instead attacked someone because you were to impatient to try shows that you need to get your attitude checked.
now Vortex00 don’t worry about what this dushbag said he probably just made a mistake on his part. but don’t worry your game is fantastic and i waiting for you to finish off the next update so i can see how much better the game can get. (also sorry for the outburst i never do this)
p.s. krissi unlike you i know how to hold my shit together and act like a decent human being in the eyes of society. especially on the internet, where what you just did is a daily occurrence.
i am not going to respond to you if you attempt to start an argument. if you do try to start an argument you will just look stupid and lose the attempted fight before it even started. now go to your corner and jack off your frustrations like normal people do (this is a porn game after all) instead of spewing shit on the internet.
Not probably made mistake on his part. Definitely made a mistake. However there is a very small but significant number of people that didn’t see the game in there, even though it was there in every case. It is part of the reason why I wanted to stop using bandcamp.
….there’s a bandcamp file?
I don’t understand your question but I try to answer it anyways.
The original release version of the game (not the updated version) comes in the bandcamp zip file with the music.
yeah that’s what I was asking, thanks for answering.
your a hard worker #BestTraits.. all these prices and stuff to deal with must be hard too keep up with once in a while right?
Thanks, I have a pretty good handle on it. Usually I will prioritize replying to a e-mail or something to make sure it stays that way.
Só entrei aqui para pedir desculpas para Vortex00, sei que tenho sido como falam aqui(um pé no saco)sei também que o trabalho dele é dificil, mesmo aguentando os patrões da Umcc, e também pedir desculpas por não ver que ele estava me ajudando. Desculpe Vortex00.
no worries man
