Hi, folks!

As you've all probably heard, we've been working on the English version of our game Tame It! for quite a time already. And today we're happy to present you the 0.11.0 English version, which includes a prologue and seven chapters with full texts, that is half of the entire plot.

If you had difficulties understanding emojis, or didn't like this approach to the story in general, then this is your chance to look at the game and the characters differently. For example, a brief background of Lee is given before the prologue, and later on, thanks to his thoughts, the development of his character and attitude towards Cat becomes more noticeable. We think this may be interesting even to those who have already gone through the game before the actual chapters.

We remind you that since this is a separate game, saves are not compatible with the main version!

Speaking of new chapters! Today we released version 0.13.0 for our patrons! In this new chapter, Lee will discover the great mystery of the island and get a chance to fight the jaguar. The chapter is vivid, intense, and with a very hot ending. 

And in a few days later the 0.12.0 English version will be released for our patrons, where two more chapters - 8 and 9 - will be added to the translation plot.

Just a little bit and we'll catch up with the current version and then we can merge the English and emoji versions into one. Emoji will remain the basic version, but it will be possible to change the language in the settings. Over time, perhaps there will be a translation into other languages too.

We look forward to your impressions of the text version of the game! And if you find any bugs, please report them to us, it will help us improve the game.

And of course Merry Christmas to everyone, who celebrates it today! We wish you a lot of the hottest games with stunning beauties and an interesting storyline! Well, we'll try to continue to delight you with fascinating content. 

Happy holidays!

And stay tuned!

Hi, guys! 

The long-awaited public release of version 0.11.0 is finally here and we're happy to show it to you! 

What awaits you in this chapter:

Octa and Cat are still in a quarrel and something has to be done about it, Lee will have to take care of reducing the degree of conflict. Lee also realizes that the current house is getting too cramped and decides to build himself a more comfortable place to live. The relationships of all three characters continue to change, with new interests and desires appear.

In addition to the continuation of the plot, we have largely worked on other aspects of the game, as usual. A lot of edits were made to various scenes from previous chapters, in particular, the logic of the steering wheel game was reworked, Tonya's sleep game was animated in L2D. And also many minor and not so minor bugs, you reported to us, were fixed.

We added something new to the SOS location: now Lee will think about different things when he's alone there, or talk to Cat when they're together; you may come across funny dialogues, so make sure to check it out once in a while. You can see all the changes we've made in the changelog.

Enjoy the game! We will be glad to receive your feedback and any comments on the game, and please let us know about any bugs you find, so we can fix them as soon as possible! 

And one more important news: version 0.12.0 is already available to all our patrons, and it will be publicly released in early January. This will be the last public release, as then we will prepare the game for release on Steam.

Hi everyone!

Today we have a great date — exactly a year ago the first build of Tame It! was released! 🎉😃 A lot of work has been done during this year and we managed to finish 2/3 of the game storyline, but there’s still a lot of interesting things ahead. And today we want to please you with the new public version of the game. Thank you for staying with us and continuing to play Tame It!

What awaits you in this chapter:

Lee's adventures continue. Now that a new hottie has appeared on his horizon, he can't stop thinking about her, of course Cat doesn't like this at all. And when Lee gets a chance to get to know Octa better, Cat becomes even more jealous. You'll find out where all this will lead and how Lee will cope with the situation in this chapter.

Along with the story progression, much work was done on the game itself.

We added English tooltips for UI, it may be turned on in the preferences and disabled by default. Octa's image was adjusted by the results of patron’s voting and one suggested feature was implemented, her color will change by her mood. Cat, on the other hand, will eat less food but lose her attitude to you if not fed properly. To help track her hunger level we changed the report style of the corresponding question in the dialogue window.

Enjoy the game!

As usual, we will be grateful for any bug reports that you come across during the game, as well as your suggestions for improving the content.

At the end of this week our patrons will receive an updated English version with the freshly translated Chapters 4 and 5. Speaking of chapters — they came out rather big in terms of text this time, especially Сhapter 4. So, if you find some time to check these out, who knows, maybe you will get a completely different picture of what’s going on in there, especially the construction episode.

And now one more announcement:

You’ve probably noticed by now that public releases have become less frequent. As we mentioned above — the last third of the game is left, and we’ve deliberately decided to increase the interval between public releases of chapters, most likely there will be no public releases at all when the development gets to the final stage. The reason for this is that we’re going to release Tame It! on Steam and it's our chance to recoup the development of the game and get the opportunity to continue it, as well as the implementation of other ideas, since it didn't work out on Patreon. Therefore, we ask you to be understanding and support us on this difficult but interesting path.

We would like to remind you that all of our patrons starting at $2 (who will subscribe 6 months before the release or more) will receive a Steam key.

Stay tuned!

How is it going, fellows? 

It’s been a pretty hard month, and it means we have a whole bunch of news to share, as well as some hot insights on what’s gonna happen quite soon. 

First things first, the newest 'Tame It!' chapter is already available for our patrons! This chapter unfolds a completely new story where Lee finally gets to know the mysterious lady of the lake. Everything would’ve been fine, but our boy will have to face some jealousy from the Cat, who’s quite offended by Lee’s new object of adoration. We all hope that he will find a way to prevent this explosive conflict between girls.

As for the public release, the date's gonna be announced later — keep up with the news, friends!

It was a hard going trip — we’ve spent a great deal of time and effort making this chapter. The new location, game mechanic, peeping scene, and so much more other stuff required full impact from our team. On top of that, we've made a whole bunch of edits to the previous chapters as well to make your playtime even more smooth and comfy. 

Besides working on a chapter, we continued moving forward with our Steam stuff. As you may recall, we’ve successfully placed the game page on Steam, and now you can easily add it to your Wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1706850/Tame_It/). As for now, we are preparing for the Steam Festival in October. We need to create a specific demo version of the game for that purpose, so it's one of our main tasks at the moment. 

What’s more, we’re also working on the Steam page for the game soundtrack, which will be released in time with the game. Our outstanding soundman has already compiled all the main tracks so everyone in love with the game atmosphere could listen to them whenever they want. We also remind you that all $10+ patrons will get the soundtrack for free!

And now some good news for those who enjoyed the text version of 'Tame It!': we’re working hard on the English version and hope to catch up with the main story and release the unified one asap so you can switch between languages in the options menu.

Moreover, we’re equally engaged in working on the new chapter. Soon enough, we’ll make all the necessary script edits and then head to the storyboard stage. Wish us luck, guys! There are so many breathtaking moments ahead, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

You can’t even imagine how important your support is! Be safe, and stay tuned! 

With love, Manka Games Team 😘

Dear friends, we have some wonderful news for you: we’ve passed the second stage of moderation, and now the Steam page of Tame It! has been finally published! That’s quite a huge deal for our team! 

It would be so great if as many of you added Tame It! to the Wishlist as possible because it will be quite important for us on the release stage. It’s pretty simple — follow the link ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1706850/Tame_It/ ) and click the “Add to Wishlist” button. (If the link doesn’t open, you should enable adult content in your Steam store preferences). We’d also love to hear your opinion on the page and its design. Share any thoughts on how would you improve it and what could we add there?  

Within the team, we have also discussed and decided that a free Steam key of Tame It! would be a great way to thank our patrons for their support.

That’s what’s gonna be: 

1. All our active $2 patrons who will subscribe 6 months before the release or more will receive a Steam key.

2. All the active $5+ patrons will receive a key at the time of release.

3. All the $10+ patrons in addition to the key will also receive a free game soundtrack on Steam.

We have also decided to add a new Patreon tier — $20 — patrons of this tier will have an opportunity to offer their own achievement for the game (we will discuss all ins and outs individually). On top of that — they’ll get a personal role on our Discord server and a portrait emoji similar to ones made for the game characters (we will need a picture of you or another desired image).  

The number of unique achievements is limited!

We are planning to release Tame It! in the first quarter of 2022. However, the exact date will be announced later. Stay tuned to keep up with the latest news and join the ranks of our patrons to get the full version of the game among the first.  

Manka Games celebrates our first anniversary! 🥳

The first game ideas appeared in 2019, and the project ‘Tame It!’ (‘Wild Tamer’ then) was born in early 2020, but as a team we formed on June 9, 2020, so we consider this day as the birthday of the Manka Games.

There have been and still are many challenges along the way, but we have also accomplished a lot in the meantime. Thanks to the support of our families, friends, patrons and players, we continue to move forward and develop 🤗

Now our game — ‘Tame It!’ — is about halfway done and in a few days we will be ready to show the next chapter to our patrons.

We are planning to create the Steam page in the near future, and of course we will write about it when it's ready. The English version is in the works and we will soon show the prologue and the first chapter with full text to our patrons. We also hope that we will soon be able to provide support for l2d animations on Android.

We are preparing a censored version of the game for Asia and the Middle East, not to the detriment of the work on the main game of course. Our goal was initially to create an original game that is available worldwide, but different countries have different attitudes towards censorship, and this imposes certain restrictions on the content, so it requires certain improvements.

Of course, the main content of the game will be improved as well. Many of the already implemented features are waiting to be reworked. We collect your feedback and with every update we dedicate some time to improve what has been done already. Scenes and locations, interfaces and sound effects are being changed. Some minigames need changes and improvements too. Finally, we need to devote more time to balancing the game mechanics.

There is still a lot of work ahead, a lot of interesting things. We have fun making this game, and we enjoy creating new original features, adding all sorts of little things that make the game more lively and bright, working on our characters and showing how they change over time. It's all very cool!

Thank you for being with us, helping us in the development process with your advice, critique, good ratings on various websites and communication on Discord. It's nice to see that our community is growing, that more and more people like our game. We are happy to see each and every person who comes to us 😘

Next year will be full of work for us and full of news for you!

Stay tuned!

Today Tame It! 0.5.1 become public!

Somebody may think that 0.5.1 means that this is half of the game, but no, there are 15 chapters in the original plot so we are around 30% by now. But we’ll see, we may decide to merge some chapters together or add some additional content by patrons opinion.

Let’s return to the chapter. While Lee and Cat become aware of each other, their relations are slowly built by your hands. Meanwhile, there are some hints from the weather for future problems, so Lee must have some precautions.

Old saves are not compatible with the new version yet. Save compatibility restricts us with changes to the codebase and requires much time to achieve. And we prefer to spend this time on new content for you instead. But when all major features will be implemented in the game, we’ll get serious about saves.

Work on the 0.6.0 is going at full speed. And we expect some quality changes for the current content as well as the new one.

You may find free download links on our Patreon page https://patreon.com/Manka_Games

Hello everyone!

Here is some news.

We've begun active work on Chapter 4. The basic script is ready, so we will soon be able to start storyboarding and writing dialogues. The new mini-game is already being worked on, and we think about new peeping scene with our wild cat-girl :3

This week we'll dive headlong into the making of Chapter 4. Wish us good luck ))) The new chapter features one of the most important mechanics of our game — the beginning of taming process. We've finally getting to something that lives up to the name of the game x)

We are always glad to receive your opinions and suggestions for improving the game))

Thank you for your support. Stay tuned.

Hi, everybody!  

Last week we worked hard on the new chapter. All scenes were drawn and added to the game, dialogues were written and translated into emojis and some new emojis were drawn and added as well. The mechanics and graphics of the new mini-game were almost completed. We also added new sounds for some of the story scenes.  

This week we will continue to work on a new chapter. We will test and polish all chapter content, complete the fishing mini-game and new peeping game.   

In addition to this, we have already started discussing the script and storyboard for Chapter 4, which is scheduled for release in early March.  

As always we would be happy to see your thoughts and suggestions for improving the game ;))  

Stay tuned and thank you for your support!

Hi everyone!

Some news about the past week.

We have been working on additions and improvements for the Chapter 2. In less than a week, we will release version 0.3.1, which will include among other things several new erotic scenes that you will have to find in an interesting way ;)

In the meantime, we're actively working on the Chapter 3, where you can get to know the new girl and get a closer look at her. We also began to work on a new mini-game (it would be fishing, cause kitties love fish :) ) and creating texts for the dialogues, that later will be translated into emojis.

In the coming week, we plan to test all the changes and release a new version of the game, and then get busy with the Chapter 3: start drawing scenes, continue working on the mini-game, thinking over different details that will make the game more interesting and bright.

As always, we will be glad to see your ideas and suggestions for improvements ;)

Stay tuned and thank you for your support!
