Dream Molder - Character Sketch Demo v0.1 and Poll Winner

Alright, this is a bit later than I wanted it to be but due to me beeing quite busy these last few days I've barely had the time to give updates/answers on here.

First off, the new Dream Molder Demo is now up.
https://indarkwaters.com/games/dream-molder.html

While it does have a lot of new stuff, it's still far from done and the primary reason for anyone to play it would be all the main s...

Short Update

Hey everyone, just a small update to progress of the demo and some general info.

The demo is coming together nicely and even though there is still a few days left before the vote ends, there is quite some things left that need to be done before I can release it in the state I wanted it to.

Rushing the last few sketches and changes so I could bug-test and release in time would only lower quality in the long run though.
I've did a lot of rushed stuff already and I think I shoul...

New Poll + Details

Alright, last poll gave me some insight on what I could do for the next and I will change things up a bit this time around.

If you don't like reading: Don't feel bad and go for the vote.
Way to much text again and the only real "important" thing is the info about the last 3 vote options, which you only need if you want to vote for one.
So for everyone not reading, have a nice weekend and fun voting. :D<...

Shiny Versions up + Plans for March

Just a small note that shiny versions have been added to the posts.
I might have made mistakes while naming or uploading since there were a lot of files, so if you have any problems just let me know and I'll fix it right away!

Also a little plan/reminder on what I'm going to do this month..
There will be no charged posts in march, instead:

- I will put main focus to working on Dream Molder (Braixen Visual Novel) and hopefully getting the Character Sketch D...

Zoroark Project Files

And for the ones of you that know how to use Live2D the project files of the Zoroark Animation itself!

The files itself consist of 2 Parts, the .Sai file that I used to create the different parts for the model and the .zip that contains all the animation relevant files:

-The Parts used by the software (ZoroarkParts.psd)
-The Live2D model made of these parts (ZoroarkModel.cmo3)
-The animations/scenes made using said model ( ZoroarkAnimations.can3 )

In case you use/ha...

Zoroark Uncensored Animations (NSFW)

All the different uncensored variations of the Zoroark animation!
Just as with the censored version I will add the shiny variants later on and notify everyone when it happened.

I will put all of the variations and different versions into .zip files this time around.
I usually upload everything in loose files but this is probably just a confusing and a hassle for everyone.
This does make the downloads/files a little somewhat bigger though, so just let me know if I should upload...

Zoroark Animation Final Version

Oof, finally done.
Here's the final version of the Teasing Zoroark animation + download, and with it the charged post for the month.

The shiny version is actually still in work and should be added to the post around tomorrow.
I didn't want to wait too long before posting a charged post though since it's already late enough into the month and I wanted to give people the chance to still opt out or change/lower their pledge if they needed to.

So keep in mind to do that before...

Zoroark Animation Preview

Just a little preview for you guys so you know that I'm actually doing something.

I can't really show the progress on Dream Molder since it's all text/script related, but I can show you how far I am with the Zoroark animation!

It's not quite done yet and there's still some changes and details that need fixing.
The model itself however is pretty much working and you can already do stuff and see that it's going somewhere, so that's nice I guess.

I actually wanted to had ...

Zoroark Project files and random insight

I really need to start using multiple files for the different variations and versions to make things more transparent.

This file is still going to be a little all over the place, but you can put together the different variations by turning on or off layers to your liking.

This time I only used Paint Tool Sai, so there's only .sai files today.
Sadly the files itself are quite big, too big to upload them on patreon actually which is why I had to upload them on another side for ...

Teasing Zoroark NSFW Version

Tried to put in some more "action" into the NSFW Version this time around, just as a warning/reminder that this is NSFW.

Unlike with Lucario where I was practicing how to draw different variants I tried to focus on one version and bring in some more "action" instead since this pose didn't leave much room for different variations.

I also experimented with x-ray/inside view since I was thin...

Teasing Zoroark

It took me a bit, but as chosen by vote here's my attempt at Zoroark.


I made a lot of sketches and variations that I didn't really like because they either didn't look enough like Zoroark or simply too much like the original design...

In the end I decided to stick with this pose/design which doesn't look as cute as Lucario and more teasing instead.
But I think it fits Zoroark and ...

Dream Molder progress summary and February Poll Winner

Hey everyone!

Just a small summary of what I worked on over January and plans for the February Poll winner!


I did some mixed work on Dream Molder over the month and added a lot of new placeholders, character sketches, scripts and made small changes to some of the story.

So far I finished about 53% of the Character-Sketch Demo, which would have been a little higher if I didn't get sick at the end of the month what didn't exactly favor pr...

Vote for February Pokémon

Alright, just a little reminder/info about this poll.

I'm not going to charge for any posts this month since I'm working on Dream Molder.
Instead I'm putting this poll up for you to vote the Pokémon you want to see drawn next month.

I'm not sure yet how well this will work out, since I normally don't draw on demand like that.
But depending on how it works out I might do this kind of stuff more often. We'll see...

As for if it's going to be animated, we will have to...

Lucario Live2D-Model

Since I've made a Live2D Model for Lucario I have the ability to share this one with you as well.

If you know how to work with/use Live2d you would be able to make your own animations with the model or use it for whatever.


Since most people probably don't have the software I will script a small engine for you to modify and use the model later on aswell.

For now however it's just the model itself.

The model was build in Cubism 3.3, but e...

Lucario Animated Version (NSFW)

Planned for the NSFW version of the lucario was something like a short, interactive flash game where you can turn on/off different features like breasts/chest fluff and swap gender while stimulating Lucario to move on to the next animation.

However, it seems like that plan was still a bit too much for me to realize in a month.
I do have a few animations, but they didn't have the quality I would have liked them to have for a proper high resolution upload/release.

Here's a extr...

Lucario Animated Version

I already wanted to have this uploaded a few days ago but because of how much I had to do it kind of got pushed back until now...

There's way too many versions and I definitely do less of them with the next picture/animation I do.

Because of the many variations of this picture I wasn't able to finish what I actually wanted to do with it and will have to continue working on it later on.
However, this month I will mostly work on Dream Molder (Braixen Visual Novel), so I'll p...

Change/Update relating Support SFW Tier

I just now learned that Patreon doesn't let me charge per Tier, and even though I can make posts visible to only certain tiers they can never be charged for.

Meaning I cannot charge for the content I wanted to without enabling NSFW content to SFW tier.

Since I still want the option to support the game without need to see the nsfw content I will charge for the SFW Version/pictures instead that are visible to everyone, keeping the NSFW and Project files hidden and as a reward for the high...

Holiday Lucario Project Files

For everyone interested in how I put the whole thing together here's the project files of the Lucario picture.

There's quite the chaos with layers going on since I made all the variations in the same file.
If you would like me to make different files for the different versions just let me know and I'll add them to the download. :>

And feel free to ask any questions if you need help figuring anything out.

SFW Holiday Lucario

Hey everyone! 

So... This might be a little sudden if you're not one of the few people that follow my blog, but here is some random Lucario art, fitting for the coming holidays.

The reason behind this post is pretty much that I was hoping to release the Dream Molder sketch-demo before end of the ye...

However, since my last post I finally finished all of them, straightened some of them and the story out, wrote some extra scenes AND already started drawing a lot of the sketches that I need.

While I'm not nearly done drawing all of them, I just started making a demo out of replacement grafics and unf...

Update on Dream Molder and activity

Hey everyone, it's been a while.
First off, thank you to all of you guys for the support.
I've got enough together to pay for my animating software for a few months and I can also keep the website up that offers the online version of the game.

Because of that, I wanted to give a little heads up that I'm going to switch this patreon from "pay monthly" to "pay per creation" in a few days.
This way you can still show your support by beeing a patron without actually needing to pay an...

Small Update and big Refund

Hey everyone, just giving a little Update here!

The last few weeks were quite busy for me and I didnt get much work done.
Partially because I still have my trouble with writing such a large story myself.
Not having much time because of irl work didn't help much either and I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to turn the payment on again, at least for now.

After making sure that the payment pause was still active last month I realized that it went back to the normal setting ...

Payment paused for next month

Hey everyone, just a quick update!
I thought I would be able to do something small until christmas since I had a few ideas but didn't get anything done in the end.

That's why I paused the payment for you guys next month.
So until I have some more updates or something else for you guys nobody has to pay anything.

Don't worry if you still want to support me though.
Just stay around, seeing that people stay interested already keeps motivating me. :>

Dream Molder v0.3 Download + What happens next

Hey everyone!

Sadly I took way too long for this release since work got in the way and I didn't get it done the way I wanted it to.
I actually wanted to add a little extra/side story where the additional h-scene that I made over the month could be used and I wanted to add sounds and a friend as voice actor for braixen just for this scene.

Everything took me way longer than expected though, so it didn't work out in the end and the changelist for this patch isn't too big:

There we go guys!

This took me way too long and I feel like I did nothing but working on this the last few days. xD
But there it is, the next part for the Braixen Visual Novel Demo.

It's not completly done, the title screen is missing and some bugs might still sneak around and all that stuff...

But H-Scenes+Animations are done and it is at least playable so far. Just keep in mind that it's still a learning and trying process for me.
