The 2018 Roadmap

Added 2018-06-11 18:55:32 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!

With the end of Dreams of Desire, it's time to polish things up a bit, finish up everything that I didn't have time to do, and of course tell you about what comes next.

So to get DoD out of the way: I'll be fixing all the typos and grammar, adding the alternate ending along with a general cleanup inside the game, and squash any remaining bugs. After that is done, I'll release the Android version.

Okay, so what's next?

You probably know about Porject Eden, the codename of the big project that follows DoD. However, there are some things you don't know about yet.

I'm happy to announce that this year instead of one game, I'm releasing three! At the bottom of the post, you'll find a roadmap for all the games.

So let's start with the first one down the line. It's coming pretty soon, early July in fact. It's going to be a story of 3 episodes in the usual visual novel format. I will release one of these a month starting next month.

The title of that one is

Dreams of Desire: The Lost Memories

It's going to be a bit of a prequel and a bit of a side story. The protagonist this time will be not the MC, however.

You will see through Tracy's point of view. This way I can tell you some thing that I couldn't in DoD because of the restriction of the main character's point of view. I'll answer questions like how did it all start with the Order, how did Tracy get the shard, and what happened to her during the course of the game while she was out all the time.

The main cast of DoD will make an appearance sometimes, but they won't be the main focus of this. This of course means new characters! I'm already working on them and so far I love the results. I hope you will too!

These episodes will be shorter than a regular DoD episode. I'm doing this for two reasons. First, because I think it was a good idea to show some aspects of the story from another angle and there are interesting questions that can be answered. Second, so that you'll have something to play each month until Project Eden's release. As I said, these episodes will be deliberately short, so I can make them fast and focus on Eden. Nonetheless, it will be a worthy addition to the roster of games, I think.

The second project in the timeline: Project Eden.

I think I'm starting to grasp the final title, but I'll keep it a secret for a bit longer, you know, just in case. And because I love my secrets. I'm telling this to the public who might not have seen any posts about Eden before. This will be a team effort, as it will be a much bigger and more complex game than DoD. Hiring for the writer position will start in 1-2 weeks, I'll make a post here on Patreon about it.

And the third project this year: Unnamed 2D Game.

A very creative title, I know. So you've probably seen the artwork of Mrs Turner in a 2D drawing. That wasn't a coincidence.

This game will follow a different format than the rest. It will have gameplay as its main focus and the hot and juicy stuff will be a plus. But of course, there will be tons of hot stuff ;) So teaming up once again, the artist who drew that picture is going to be the lead artist in the development. I'll also hire a great background artist, I already have someone in mind. Writing will be done by someone other than me as well. Let's face it, it's probably better that way.

I'll be responsible for the game design and directing the project overall. However, that game will be different than most of the games on Patreon, as it will be released only when fully completed.

Some other notes:

There will be changes to the reward tiers this month here on Patreon. I'll do it soon, and tell you about it as soon as I update them so you'll have enough time to adjust before the month's end. Different projects call for different rewards.

And finally, I want to thank all of you for the support I have received during the course of this project. I never would have thought that we'd get this far. Thank you for putting your trust in me and for the kind words I receive.
