Back in the day (IV)
Added 2022-10-25 23:20:54 +0000 UTCOne year ago, on October 26th, 2021, I turned 49 years old. That day I decided to start writing the story that would become My Dorm.
One year later, I can't be more satisfied that I made that decision. It has been a year in which many things have happened: the first months of writing a lot, learning a bit of Ren'py, and dusting off my knowledge of Daz3D (the last time I had done something Genesis had just been released). Then starting translating the ideas I had written into dialogues and images was an adventure.
A little more than 6 months after that day came the first publication, on April 29th, and with that publication came the fear of how it would be received; also came the first mistakes, the first criticisms, the first praises, and, to my surprise, the first Patrons. And the learning process in which I am still immersed continued.
Then came the most important thing for me during these months. Dealing with all of you, allowing My Dorm to improve as a game and me to improve as a developer. I have laughed a lot with some of your comments and it has served me as an outlet when I was stuck in some scenes. THANK YOU.
Today Martha has come to greet me on my 50th birthday and to ask me on behalf of the girls if I will still be here in a year's time. How can I say no? The intention is to be here for as long as you will let me. She has asked me to buy candles for next year, she didn't have any at home.
Thank you for this journey, or I could say the beginning of this journey. It would not be possible without you.
Comments
Thanks, JD. This project started as a hobby, and I still keep the illusion. As I have said before, I never thought it would have the acceptance it has had, for which I am very grateful; every comment, good or bad, helps me to strive even harder to give you the game you deserve within my skills. My experience makes me think that, if you have illusion for that project, start it. Who was going to tell me that I was going to start programming videogames at 49 years old? Keep us informed and ask for help if you need it.

I am not quite a year older than you, my b-day is Halloween, and glad to hear you picked up something new. :) I have a project I am trying to gather energy to start and I know it will be as life-changing as your journey has been so far. Thanks for the inspiration, it helps.. :)

2022-10-26 15:00:00 +0000 UTCGracias, Bubaldo! Gracias a vosotros por haberos apuntado al viaje. Sería imposible sin el apoyo de los jugadores. Thanks, Bubaldo! And thank you for signing up for the trip. It would be impossible without the players' support.

2022-10-26 09:00:35 +0000 UTCThank you, fi. Today is a day when the computer is going to render all by itself. I had saved my last day of vacation for today and we are going to celebrate with the family. It's very easy to stay motivated thanks to the players who have decided to join me on this journey. I always want you to have the best that my skills allow. Sometimes I get it right, and sometimes I get it wrong, but that's the intention.

2022-10-26 08:56:36 +0000 UTCHappy Birthday, Daxx! And thanks for all the laughs on Discord! Martha would look sexy even in a granny gown. Don't make me do a render like that, please.

2022-10-26 07:11:18 +0000 UTCDamn, Martha is looking as sexy as ever. Happy Birthday Bro! It's a bit mad but we actually share the same birthday. Thanks for the game you have given us so far, I'm really looking forward to what the future brings. Interesting & good looking characters with good writing & an interesting plot that is providing us with some interesting questions to try & figure out. Keep up the good work.

2022-10-25 23:41:04 +0000 UTCThanks, Vortex. I hope you get to knock up the 27 possible ladies. If I can give you some advice, invest in a diaper company.

2022-10-25 23:37:26 +0000 UTCHappy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉. And thank you for the awesome game so far. It is one of my favorites, has the holy trinity, harem/incest/pregnancy. Keep up the great job. Hopefully we are still knocking up girls in my dorm for years to come lol

2022-10-25 23:36:01 +0000 UTCThank you. I've always seen My Dorm as a story with adult elements rather than a porn game with a story used as an excuse. And that story begs for dialogue. My wife tells me that the characters talk too much and that I should move on to the action faster. At the risk of her punishing me to eat broccoli, I won't listen to her.

2022-10-25 23:32:19 +0000 UTCYou've done a great job so far. Good dialogue is the main thing that holds my interest and My dorm definitely has that.
