This will be a kind of big post so I will try to be brief and the point with stuff.
Previously UMAA, Umichan Maiko Agent Academy was the working name for the UMCH sequel, but this will now be a smaller game that just sticks to the top down shooting mechanic and will only tell a minimal portion of the UMCH sequel story. Sex scenes in that game will use top down animations and image sequences. Any big animations made for this will go into Umichan Umiya
The Umichan Umiya game, which was originally slated to be a small remake of the Female Rivalries part of UMCH will now be the current working name for the UMCH sequel until a official name is decided. Based on polling GIF is clearly the most preferred animation style, so I plan to use the tyranobulder engine again for this UMCH sequel.
Reasons include:
I am most familiar with it over other engines I am looking at (not inducing flash)
The engine can handle a large amount of gifs (In one previous tryranobuilder project I use 140+ gif loops with no indication I will have an issue doubling or tripling that amount)
I have already been testing certain gameplay elements in previous game such as Sorani, and Futa fantasy.
The UMCH sequel begins a few days after where UMCH and the Rookie end. Alma has made a request that Maiko undergo agent training for her own safety. And Maiko’s primary goal in the game is to reach full Special Agent status but beating other agent in combat classes, and by performing missions. Along the way Maiko will see the results of events from previous games. You will have an opportunity to select what happened from previous game as you go along. Or select from various templates.
Phone:
The phone will act as the tablet in UMCH. It will display various information. Currently I also plan to have it act as the way to travel between different areas. This will be very similar to traveling in Umichan Sentoryu and Umichan Sorani.
I don’t plan to have too many areas the player will need to travel to. If you think of UMCH/CC, the areas where the the player started main story events were basically just the School and the Mall/Cafe.
areas planned for the game currently are:
The GemCo Academy
Mall
City (links to all other areas listed here but has a few of it’s own areas also)
Holly House
Alma House
Albert House
??? House
Each area as at max 10 sub areas in them. for example a house will have a living room, bed rooms. And the mall has the different stores, etc.
Houses:
In Umichan Sentoryu I liked being able to create different types of H-scenes and dialogue situations inside the home. In this game, Maiko will have various houses she can live at. They each have pros and cos.
Holly’s House – Maiko won’t have a room to herself and will share a room with Jeni by default. Both David and Carl prevent guys from coming to visit Maiko. There is also a lot of conflict in the House as Jeni often clashes with David and Carl.
Alma House – Since Alma initially lives alone it is much more peaceful here. Maiko can bond with Alma. Alma doesn’t allow certain bully type characters to visit Maiko such as David or Joiry.
certain character’s may move in or visit Maiko based on what house she lives in and decisions made in the game. There is a least 4 houses planned currently.
Sponsor:
The process of undergoing special agent training is not free, the Rinoga’s GemCo Agent Academy has operational costs, GemCo tech cost money to make, and that money will need to come from somewhere. At the start of the game, Albert (Savori dad and the Bookstore owner) has offered to be Maiko’s sponsor. During the game Maiko will be able to switch to a different sponsor or accumulate money herself.
Money:
Like in UMCH Maiko will again be able to work in the cafe to earn money. I also plan to have a grocery store also. By having a sponsor Maiko would not need a job to make her own money.
Minigames:
I plan to have two main minigames here. One is the pattern match from Futa Fantasy. The other is a combat minigame that relies on stats.
Team:
Similar to the Rookie. Maiko will be assigned to small team comprising of Vux, Candy and a new guy named Paul. Vux and Candy can be found in Splashing Surprise and appear at time in the Rookie. They are also Character in Agent Trainer. I’m not yet sure who Maiko’s trainer will be. in the Rookie it was Yui. Here it could be Kim or Sui-May. there are characters found in the old ARIA flash game.
I think it is is for now. Currently I am sorting out story details, the different locations, this combat minigame, and working with ttrop so he can make the different h scenes.
below are various wip screenshots.
Yay~ Main story games always interest me. Since Kim seems to be working security at the mall, I don’t think she’d have time for training recruits. Plus Sui-May is the kama sutra chick, so more sex opportunities there. It’d be nice to see a little bit of both of them though.
I was leaning more towards Kim actually heh. But nothing is set in stone yet. Yui can be found the Mall also if zytra gets arrested.
so excited please keep us updated fam
many thanks. the discord has more details about different things and sneak peaks at the art.
No Remi in the game???
Remi is in this game. but will mention again, if you are only interested in futa. I’m really not the person to go to for that.
I’m gonna come out and say that I actually like Remi as a character, not just because she’s a futa. So now you can be sure there’s someone out here who likes her for more than her body.
Thanks, I replied this way because I know this particular person, at least to me, just seems to be interested in futa.
HOW I can find this game
it did not release yet
also please see here for currently playable games

Imagine have the option to go to rookie’s house and then luma is there. The memes are infinite as universe
an add a caption pic
Glad to hear that the gif Animation is staying for the sequel!
Will the cafe mini games be making a return?
Also, would be nice if one of the houses have a pool. The women in bikinis would be nice. Also maybe having a party where they skinny dip.
the matching game? not sure on that yet.
I did think about pools at the houses. and it even needs to be sorted out for the academy. you can expect to see some pool stuff in this game.
when that game will out?
initial version to lay out the areas and stuff near the end of the month.
Any other games coming soon?
I’m not sure how soon, but I want to make the 3d Arielle game and the top down shooter. I might set up something where wilson can perhaps hake short term games when i’m working on long term games.
That would be great. Even if it would be like minigames with one scene or some cgs as rewards released on a weekly or monthly base. Just so we don’t have to wait multiple months for big updates while we don’t get anything in the meantime. Of course it’s your decision and I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that I appreciate and await every single piece of content you release. I know it takes some time to design a whole game. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks, I usually release stuff monthly with H scenes either way, be it long term or short term projects.
Whoops… took me a while to be able to comment, I hope one of the houses available is Kyle’s or Luma’s and this time my opinion is not entirely because of erotic action potential but because with Kyle for better or worse is one of Maiko’s best male friends (and I always want more Kyle content) while with Luma I really want to see a softer side of her that could be friendlier to Maiko.
I have some images that could be for their rooms, but not enough for the whole house. The other thing to keep in mind is I want to show at least one family member so that would mean making for characters. So I’m not sure if I will do that.
Do, you have family members planned for them? I mean like you already though of the family members and were thinking of bringing them in at some point? Would they add to the characters? If not couldn’t it just be that they live alone in apartment or small house? Their parents live in a different place.
That way you don’t have to include a character you never though of, and still have them have their own living areas.
Though this is up to you, just wanted to give you a suggestion in case it might help you think of something.
It’s in the post but, characters like Kyle and Luma can visit the house where Maiko is, just likely not the other way around. It’s not set in stone. But that’s where I am right now. I don’t plan to add any new characters to be parents and/or family members in this game. I have thought of some of their general personalities but not appearances. Also sorry for the late reply.
To be honest I was kinda expecting that as much as it pains me, for Kyle I had hopes because in my mind he seems like a guy whose parents send to live alone and throw money to keep out of their bussiness (photography is an expensive hobby and he does not seem like someone who gets discipline). For Luma it gets tricky as i really can’t picture what kind of parents she could have, with as much info as I can remember probably a submissive or absent mother and/or a womanizer cheating father, Luma tries to act tough to avoid become her mom while she’s trapped in a relationship with Joiry.
All in all Im really curious now for whose house could be then and hope to see this in the future thanks for answering and keep the great job.
Keep in mind that Kyle and Luma can visit Maiko, just not the reverse, I don’t have materials for it, including backgrounds and characters nor any dialogue. I want to really stay focused to my original plan, at least in these early stages, and not add a lot of additional work before I get through the bulk of it.
Among the options you’ve listed, Alma’s place seems to be the most appealing so far. Holly’s place would be alright, were it not for the presence of that shithead David. Who apparently has a problem with other guys showing up, which would really put on a damper on Maiko’s relationship with Greel. Plus, I dunno how involved Maiko should really get in the family dysfunctions. If Alma apparently is okay with guys visiting as long as they aren’t bullies, that’s fine with me. Plus, her and Maiko bonding sounds like an opportunity for heartwarming. As for Albert… well, you didn’t say how that would work, but it sounds a bad idea from a mile away considering it’s ALBERT. That guy should be rotting in a cell. (Speaking of which, I’m hoping to either get Maiko her own money, or get someone else as a sponsor.) Wonder what the fourth choice would be. If I could choose (which I know I can’t), I’d like it to be the Rookie’s place. Could be a good way of continuing his story. Alternatively, Riley, Pattie, Kyle. or Zytra/Leyah’s places could be fun choices.
Well I can say that one of those places you listed as the 4th is correct. Each house will have pros and cons and affect the story. And yes Maiko will be able to change sponsors and/or get her own money.
I second Kyle being a home option, as he and Maiko are already very close (I always play them as friends with benefits). More Kyle content is always welcome. While I don’t think he could be a full sponsor, Kyle definitely could help Maiko make cash herself. Sexy photoshoots or maybe camshows (solo action or with Kyle/a female friend like Pattie?) In any case, I am super excited for this project regardless.
Many thanks. at the moment I’m not convinced Kyle needs his own house to visit. But he will be able to visit Maiko. I don’t mind revisiting it later. I just don’t want to immediately start adding stuff i didn’t intended even before i really even get the game development started.
Great news, I hope to see more Rinoga in this sequel.
Yes you’ll see more of her here for sure
DAMN I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS SEQUEL CAN’T WAIT
glad you like it, will have more posts about it soon.
