Some more info

Hi everyone!

You're probably waiting for Update 3, and I've been working on it.

Rambling about upgrades and shit

Small introspection talk into the making the game. Nothing major, only read if you're curious.
Let's talk upgrades.

A big part of what should be a growth game for me is that feeling of getting more powerful as you grow, both in visuals and in gameplay. Until now, that was done in two ways, both related to leveling up...

Discord image contest results - Pearl

Back in December, I held an image contest for the girls on my discord. I started posting the results on Patreon, but forgot to post those for Pearl and Beryl.
A bit late, but here you go, for Pearl.

Progress update

Hi, sorry about the lack of recent updates.

I was forced out of development for a bit. Because of that, I froze transactions for existing subscribers for 2 months, so you won't get charged while I'm not actively developing the game. Thanks a lot for your patience.

Update 3 is not yet complete, but dev is going wel...

Delays for the Update + no facturation for February

Hi, I know there has been some wait for Update 3.
Unfortunately, since the last dev diary, I had some issues regarding my health, and the project haven't moved a lot since. This is especially bad given that this update takes longer than average.

That sort of thing happen, but I don't want to keep facturing you guys i...

Dev diary - January 2025

First dev diary of the year, let's dive into Update 3.
Hope you all had a nice holiday season. Update 3 is a pretty big one, and it's taking some time to refine. Hopefully, the result justifies the wait.
Not everyone wants to read the entire dev diary, so I'll just start by saying I intend to push the update on February...

Dev diary - December 2024

Hey,
Dev is a bit of a mess at the moment, with a lot of unorganized changes and me changing my mind a lot, but it's going on. It's a big update, mainly focusing about improving gameplay and meta-progression. Fetish content is supposed to be included via a more dynamic growth system, events and menu.

• Improved...

Level system is changing

I wanted to talk a bit about the level system and the progression in Maze of Ambition, as those are going to change a lot in Update 3.

The idea behind the current system was to allow your character to grow a lot in a single run, so you could just do a run and experience the whole growth. It would impact...

Plans for Update 3

Update 2 has been live for a few days now, and people have been enjoying Beryl. You may have encountered a few bugs if you played during the hours after she released, but the majority should have been patched in the following day.

I started working on Update 3 already, and I have a lot things planned. Probably a bit too...

Should Ruby grow some muscles?

I am working on Ruby, and I would like to know how you guys feel about this in order to properly craft her scenes and images. The idea is that Ruby would eventually gain more control over her life and maybe those around her, and gro...

Popularity poll (Update 2)

Just wanted to know about how popular each character is. I've done one a few days after initial launch but things have changed a bit.
Who's your favorite character?

It's an all-around poll. Character, gameplay, fetish, etc...

Progression system rework

Hey, I know I said I would post achievements in a post-update patch, but... I was thinking about the next update.

I might completely rework the progression system, in order to make the game feel less repetitive, to add more variety, and so you can bring some stuff from your runs out of your run, maybe interact with more...

How to make your own AI images using NovelAI

I received good feedback from a lot of people for my images. Even though I generate them using AIs, most people can't do as well. So I thought about explaining how I produce the images used in Maze of Ambition, making a small tutorial of sorts.

First of, it's important to remember there are multiple types of generative ...

Do not subscribe using the iOS app! + achievements delays

Just putting out a warning for anyone unaware, but Apple is charging 30% off of every Patreon transaction when using the iOS app. Which means you are charged an additional 30% every subscribed month if you subscribed using this app. Subscribing from the website or Android would save you this fee, and this should not impact yo...

Update 2 next week

Dev is going well, but it took a bit more time than anticipated, I was a bit too optimistic on the initial estimates. I still have a few things to go over, and should be pushing out Update 2 next weekend. Planned date is on Saturday 30th.

As previously stated, an improved gallery, an achievement system, alongside mobile...

So, I had a roadmap for this update... while I'm still trying to sticking to it, I let my intrusive thoughts get the best of me.

Why the change? Mostly because I wanted to work on...

Future giantess design

Before we move on, I just want to remind everyone that I do not intend to add a character in the next update. The result of this poll won't necessarily determine the next character coming, but might influence it a lot. I want to start thinking about future characters and I need your feedback.

These characters all repres...
