Development Update 04/02/22

Hello everyone,

Firstly, sorry for no update last week - I was working through some issues that required my full attention.

However, this does mean a longer update this week! So, all good?

Let's start with the overview:

I'm up to date with all renders now, as I spent most of last week writing. The comming week will be more focused on creating new scenes to go with the new script.

In other news, I should be getting the polls out later this week. I've some fun ideas for the bonus scene so those on a higher support tier make sure to check those out and vote for your preferred idea.

I have collated the feedback, some of the results are below and the random winner requested the following image.

The first question was “Where did you first hear about Dreams of Reality?” Almost 80% of those who responded stated F95 Zone. This is not unexpected however it was interesting as it led into only 50% downloading the game from that site.

The second highest was 32% direct from patreon.

82% chose the supportive route with Louise, I feel I missed an opportunity to break this down further and ask what your ‘first’ choice was, As I suspect many may have played through and chosen the realistic response and perhaps regretted that decision.

Of course, the converse is also true. Either way this does show that more focus should be placed on the relationship between the MC and Louise. Which was always the plan.

I cannot ignore the 18% that chose the realistic path and I hope to provide a fulfilling conclusion to all paths in the game.

82% play with the sound on, and yet 43% didn’t listen to the recorded telephone call. A 72% majority were in favour of more voice acting in the game, and I may add some additional elements in the future. I do not have any plans to add this for Dreams of Reality. The voiced telephone call was a little ‘bonus’ that I wanted players to discover when playing chapter three, part three.

I’m unsure if this was successful or not, but I am always striving to improve the content that players experience, not just the visual elements, but the auditory ones as well.

72% play more than one path in the game. This is good news as I always intended for this to be a multiple path game. Each path is unique, and although the events that take place are generally the same, the outcomes are not. Those who are up to date and have played both the Kimiko path and Louise path will understand that Sebastian has more than one outcome.

Three to be precise.

So, the last part was allowed for people to make their own comments. There were a few cries for more Melissa scenes (specifically the femdom aspect) and I can promise there will be more, Melissa is tied to a specific … attribute, the more you have, the more her scenes will evolve.

There were some other comments praising the game and I am grateful for those. This is a VN that deals with some very heavy subjects, I have never concealed that fact and I realise for some it can be tough, especially given how close to it I am myself.

With the events of the first 3 chapters, we’ve broken our family enough. It’s time to build them back up, stronger.

That's all for this week, A big thankyou to all of you that support my work. I am truly grateful.
