Hi all!
This week was unusually busy with IRL stuff, but I did get quite a bit done under the hood of WDD. First thing is what you see in the screenshot above. Instead of doing the usual dev room type setup, I opted for a more old school method with codes. These codes will allow you to control various options without being too intrusive to those who would prefer an un-hacked experience.
Second bit of under the hood stuff is a very robust system for my ABDL-inclined players. This i...

Hey all!
After the successful launch of our second public build, I've been hard at work implementing your feedback and adding new things. Most of these are quality of life things and bugfixes, but I've been playing with some new stuff as well.
Candlewood is a forest world, shrouded in twilight, and lit by the flicker of small candles. It's most strange and notable feature are pits whose walls are building facades, extending far past the limits of sight into the earth. What kinds o...

Hello everyone!
At long last, the second ever public build of Wet Dream Diary is ready for your eyes! Here's the list of new features:
- story ideas are now a finite resource
- hunger level matters now, if you are starving you won't find anyone to play with
- paying rent on time is mandatory now, use the phone!
- a tutorial and story setting cutscene have been added, start a new game to see them
- you have a neighbor now
- you can wear outfit...

Hey all!
This week, I worked on finishing up the tutorial and working on the new scene characters. These two should be familiar if you are on the Discord, but in case you're not, surprise, it's a double scene! This is also why it's taking me a little longer than expected, but I think the payoff will be worth it.
Once I get the scene with them finished and written, we'll be ready for another public build. I'm shooting for some time this week, ideally before Sunday. That's all...

Yay for unnecessarily dramatic door animations!
As mentioned last time, this is the manifestation of that simple lock and key idea I had for traversing this particular dream. Nothing too crazy, just find all the switches to unlock the way to the scene character. Additionally, this dreamworld is mechanically and graphically complete, now all it needs is the art for the scene character, or perhaps characters?
Another thing I added was the game's second outfit which you can fin...

Hi all!
This week, I have been working on a new dreamworld, the Machine Labyrinth. You may have noticed a strange building in the Machine Desert sitting all alone, well now you can head into it! It links you to this area, a maze of steam tunnels where there is supposedly a concert taking place soon, but where and when? Who knows? You can try asking the rats, but they are all pretty unhelpful...
For this area I wanted to do a very light bit of lock and key type puzzles. You'll need...

Hello!
I've got a new build for you guys which adds the forest folk sub path as well as the new intro cutscene that I teased last time. This also adds a few small things that will be needed for the upcoming public build. Next focus is to add in the tutorial, rental payment system, maybe a small real-world story hook, and a new dreamworld with a new scene. Then we will be set for WDD's second public build! I'm hoping to get this one out to you guys in the next three to four weeks, but ma...

Hi all!
Been here hard at work on WDD still, nearly ready to do another build, but I just wanted to illustrate the difference not being under a heavy time constraint for builds makes in the overall quality of the content.
This is a screenshot from the in-progress CG for the sub path with the forest folk girl from the last build. Looks weird, I know. Had I needed to release a build today, ...

Intro cutscene finished!
This week, I've been trying to work on some of the necessary bit and pieces that come at the beginning of WDD, such as this cutscene and a tutorial which will explain how the stats system works and introduce the player to the main goal of searching their dreams for writing material. Not particularly glamorous, but needed for WDD to be more of a game and less of an weird, nebulous experience.
Secondly, I've also been working on adding the sub path and CG to...

Hey all!
Got one fresh update hot off the hard drive! This one of course adds a new scene with this lovely lady, but also adds a few gameplay things. Now, there is a shortcut to the mermaid's spring that you can access with the tiny hat outfit. Also, you will now receive double the money for fresh stories. Variants of the same scene do not count as new ones, however, in doing this, I have also set up the architecture for higher tiers of existing scenes, which will count as new material....

Hi all!
I've been cranking away at the newest build of WDD, but unfortunately, I am not going to make my release date tonight. It should only be one or two more days though, so not too bad. Please enjoy this screenshot of the new dreamworld while I continue to work!
This also brings me to the harder discussion. I have been putting out builds for my games to the best of my ability every two weeks for many years now and this one is the first to really challenge that habit. The art w...

Hi all!
As some of you who are a part of the discord already know, I tested positive for Covid-19 precisely on boxing day and have been fighting it as hard as I can each day since. I'm feeling a lot better than I was then, but I am definitely still not 100% yet. That being said, my goal for this time before my last semester of graduate school starts and I have to really buckle down on my thesis is to have one more dreamworld completed for you guys. Mental effort tires me out quite quick...

Merry Christmas! Bet you weren't expecting a gift like this, were you?
This update adds the long delayed new bus terminal area to WDD along with its own new scene featuring the game's first sub. This scene as usual is affected by the dreamer's mood, so try all three flavors and see which you like best!
Additionally, this update adds the first outfit to the game, also found in the bus terminal. It doesn't open up anything new yet, but if you've ever played Minish Cap, you can proba...

Hi all!
As much as it pains me to do this, I'm going to need to postpone this build once again. My partner's family is currently staying with us in our tiny 2 bedroom apartment and it's been pretty hard to find time to draw kinky stuff when there isn't a future in-law standing 2 feet behind me and asking what it is that I'm working on.
@_@
Anyway, don't fret. Work is still being done as much as possible and at this point, there is nearly as many SFW assets in this buil...

Hi all!
Having a little more time now, I began working on WDD once again, this time adding a new interaction to one of the existing dreamworlds. Originally, this bus was only supposed to come if you had high or low energy, but not neutral energy. The point to this was to make it so that you needed to actively engage with the daytime mood/energy planning in order to explore certain locations. But this design has a problem, if the player tried to use the bus stop without the required para...

Hi all!
This is another small WDD update, focusing on various tweaks and fixes as well as a new nightmare to discover, pictured above.
This was the last official week of classes and thesis work for me, so I should be able to give WDD a lot more of my time now. Thanks for hanging tight with the lean updates while I get all my ducks in a row. You guys are the best!

Hi all!
I know that some of you were probably excited for more WDD content today, but holiday stuff kind of ate up my whole week and there isn't really enough new content for me to feel justified in doing an update. So I'm gonna keep working and plan for something next week.
Seeya then!

Hey guys!
Sorry, it's been a weekend. Time has been very precious lately, but I did want to share something that I've been slowly working on. It's part of the opening cutscene! Something that a lot of players missed was that the rain outside the window never stops. WDD takes place during a slow apocalypse. This idea has been stuck in my mind since Covid, this premise of the world ending, but it's really slow, so you still have to go to work. It's just the right amount of absurdity for a...

Hi all!
Small update this week as I have started really crunching on my thesis work since the end of the semester is coming up + my partner just finished her PhD, so this week has been a really crazy time of celebration and hosting people at our place.
The most major change is that the home late and the vampire lady scenes have both received edits to incorporate the ABDL toggle which previously didn't do anything. Now those CGs as well as the character dialogue in all variants wil...

Hi all!
This week, rather than constructing a whole new dreamworld, I've been adding content to the existing ones. Things like the starvation mechanics and some stuff that will work with the existing ABDL toggle. I'm splitting my worktime now with progress on my thesis, but there should continue to be a little something in each new build.
Okay, that's all I've got for you right now, seeya next week!

Just finishing up the last bit of stuff for WDD's first ever public build! This one is just a demo, but it showcases three of the dreamworlds that you will be able to visit, each with a unique scene that has three variants depending on the player character's mood entering the dream.
Current features:
- Mood system which affects the dreamworlds and scenes therein
- 3 scenes with 3 variants each
- 3 dreamworlds to visit
- Player determined gen...

Hi all,
Seashell Mountain's traversal system ended up being a little bit more in-depth to create than I thought, so I've got the new scene character's bust image drawn (see the discord if you're curious), but not the CG images for her. There's also a lot of small stuff to be added to Seashell Mountain still as well as a polish pass for the first public build, and I just don't think it's gonna happen by a reasonable time tonight. So I leave you with these teasers and a guarantee that the...

Been hard at work on the third dreamworld, Seashell Mountain. This snowy mountainside ski area is named such for the giant seashells that stud the slopes! No walking up the runs, it's too slippery! Luckily, the Chowder Lodge on top of serving up hot fresh clam chowder, also serves as the departure point for the mountain's cablecar, where you can ride up in style! Where does that ladder at the top of the mountain go? Somewhere, for sure!
Sorry, but I'm a little loving writ...

Hi all!
Been working this week on the next dreamworld: the Machine Desert! This strange arid landscape is dotted with old, half buried contraptions of unknown purpose. What sorts of infernal machinations stir beneath the sandy surface? Would you dare venture into the belly of the mechanical beast?
This is the second of the five dreamworlds which will be attached to the nexus via a dream door, and since they're the closest to the waking mind's surface, things are still relatively s...

Hey all, it's here!
The first build of Wet Dream Diary is here and I think it's shaping up to be a pretty cool game! It isn't super impressive yet, but it does contain one scene with 3 variants depending on your dreamer's mood the day before and a few extra things to find in the initial dreamworld of Forest Lane. What I want the final game to look like is basically more of what's here already, more scenes, more dreamworlds, more weird interactions, as well as the outfit system that will...

As you know, I've been hard at work this week on an unannounced project for this year's Halloween, and I'm excited to present this reveal!
Wet Dream Diary (Working Title) is a Yume Nikki inspired dream exploration game about seeking out content in your sleeping mind to write erotica about! While WDD's premise is similar to Yume Nikki's, WDD features the more in-depth and engaging mechanics that you've come to expect from me.
To that end: You need to ea...
