Hey all, Just a little midweek update to highlight the two polls I will be putting up later today.
First will be an open poll (for all supporters) to decide on who will be the subject of next months supporter only image(s). As before I plan to release a collection of images spread over the support tiers.
Will be mixing it up this time. As well as choosing the girl, I will be adding a second poll for the $5+ tier that will choose the 'situation'. I've decided to n...
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 ...
2022-02-04 13:08:26 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral scenes created and rendered last week. I've reached the first 100 static images for Chapter Four.
This comming weekend will be a UI focus, where I bring all the back end systems up to date (that is, up to chapter four).
I have a special surprise, A visitor from another game will be jumping into Dreams of Reality - just who could it be?
The feedback form is now closed,...
Quick update this week, I've been working on writing the first scenes as well as some of the UI systems (bonus images and the like).
The Feedback form is still open for another couple of days, I've had some great responses so far - In case you have not yet taken part: LINK
I will be selecting the winner during the week and announcing what the image subject will be next Friday (after I have spoken to the...
I set myself a goal for this past week to get the Steam release progressing. There are a mind-boggling amount of hoops you need to jump through just to setup a game page (The amount of alternative images needed!).
However I have been able to play the game in steam and even get an achievement or two. All I'm waiting on is the review of the game page, and then the review of the game itself.
Once done I will be able to share the release date.
The steam release is not the only t...

Happy New Year!
I went back and looked over what I had hoped to achieve for Dreams of Reality in 2021. My goals were very simple:
- Complete the development of chapter 2 and progress on the development of chapter 3.
- Investigate the feasibility of a Steam release.
- Get rich, retire on a Caribbean island.
Unfortunately, only two of those I manage...

I present to you the release of Dreams of Reality 0.3.8a (Ch3: P3). This forms the final part of Chapter 3 and the end of the first season.
A lot of time and effort has gone into this update, and, as with previous updates I hope that it releases bug free. A shout out to the beta testers who worked with me over the holiday period to get this release out on time.
Due to some last ...

2021-12-19 08:32:03 +0000 UTC View PostWRITING PART 2
Any writer that tells you they have never suffered from writer’s block, is lying. It can strike at any time. You sit down to write the next chapter and you stare at a blank screen, your mind circles around, you had an idea, it was there a moment ago – but you just cannot seem to form the sentence.
I’ve seen many suggestions on how to deal with this, from the possibly unhelpful “Just write something” to the utterly ridiculous “go for a ru...

Well well, things are getting interesting.... Is she not wearing underwear!?
2021-12-12 07:57:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe last image has been rendered, and the last animation completed. There is still some work to be done on the script before I can send the update out to beta testers. Also waiting on the final proof read.
With the above in mind I am setting the following release dates:
Monday 27th December - Supporters ($10, $20 and $35)
Wednesday 29th December - Supporters ($5)
Friday 31st December - Public release.
The above dates may slip if there are any game bre...
Little later than planned, but our first image of December... Hmm, seems Louise has attracted a creeper !
2021-12-05 17:25:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
December is upon us, It snuck up from somewhere, I'm sure it was only a couple of day's ago I was watching the new year fireworks.
I've had some great feedback about the 'behind the scenes' post from last week, which is great. I plan to continue this over the comming weeks. Next Friday will be the second part.
Last week I completed the final images of the hospital scenes as well as some additional scenes that are not listed on the progress tracker (below):

2021-12-03 16:42:47 +0000 UTC View PostI have had a few people ask about my development process. When or how do I make the scenes that go into Dreams of Reality? What post process do I use? How do I light my scenes?
I plan to answer these and perhaps lift the lid and show a little more behind the scenes (pun intended) of Dreams of Reality.
Every writer is different, be it in how they come up with ideas for the story, or how they put those ideas into words. My scenes st...

Another busy week spent tapping on the computer. High level progress chart is below:
As you can see, I'm closing in on the final touches to the game. The last three scenes are interconnected, so whilst I am fleshing out the writing for one scene it also adds weight to the others.
There is one final scene that I need to design and add into the game which ...
Hello all,
Lot's of progress this week, tracker is below.
The gallery scenes are done, and the last few will be rendered overnight tonight. Work has begun on the final scene (the first draft of the script is done) I will be creating those scenes over the weekend whilst I begin writing the hospital scenes.
Another aspect I want to finish by next week is the last 3 hidden items. Thi...
Happy Friday everyone!
Still playing the waiting game for my health, But as I said on previous posts I am getting better. Last week has been quite busy as I'm ramping up to getting the next update completed.
Progress tracker is below. Warehouse scene is now complete, just waiting on the final images to render over night tonight. I've made a start on the code for the next scenes, these will be the focus of the next two weeks.

Deliberately moved this post to Sunday 31st as it's Halloween. It's not something we really celebrate as much over in the UK, however my daughter has been dressed in a skeleton costume all day - so it's something!
Let's start this update with some news about my health. It's been a tough week as I am not yet completely back to full health - However, I am at least starting to spend longer sat at the computer working on scenes.
Here's the high level overview:

Hello,
Firstly an apology, There was no Friday update last week due to me going into hospital. I am back home now and well on the way to recovery. However, this has put a dent into the work I had hoped to have completed by this time.
I know some will be disappointed, but I do need to put my health first - It's too easy to throw myself at these projects and get lost behind the idea I am not doing enough. Something I grapple with daily - however this is mainly a pressure I place up...
Some of you will be aware that I have been in hospital recently. I am now back home but this has put a serious delay on all the projects I was working on.
One of which was the posting of the images of the poll from last month. Here's Elise for you all, showing a little more of her naughty side!
Enjoy.

Hello all,
A fair amount of writing and scene work done this week. As per the high-level progress tracker shot below Almost all the parts to the first half of this update are now complete. There are a few outstanding "tail-end" scenes I need to do for the first safehouse section which should be completed over the weekend.
I have 2 animations to render this week, but I am hoping to have t...
2021-10-08 16:25:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone.
A few images to share with you today. making some good progress on many different fronts. Let's start with the 'Beauty is skin deep' post. I had some great feedback on this, some via patreon and others via DM on discord.
I think everyone is happy with the differences in the scenes and generally understand the unique look of Emily that I was striving for. And as one person put, the difference is night and day.
With that in mind, the first image I will...
...but ugly goes to the bone.
I recently stumbled over a post that detailed the 'uglies' of AVN's of which the below image of Emily was given as an example:
Now many of you that have played Dreams of Reality will understand the reason for the skin texture that's used on the model, and also why her appearance changes depending on your insanity in game. She is, after all, an impe...
2021-09-25 10:06:26 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Friday!
Last week I completed the final images and animation for the Louise Flashback (part 2). I have also spent some time working through and adding music and sound effects where needed.
I have some additional music pieces that I really like, but have not yet had the opportunity to add them to the game. I have taken a bite out of the next set of images to be rendered, I have 15 left to do overnight tonight but the 'safehouse' scene is a large one and has two paths ...
There was no update last week due to ill health. I'm not out of the woods yet, as I need to have more tests done, however the time off from work has allowed me some additional time to work on the game systems.
I've spent a large proportion of this week working through updating the insanity screen, It is still very much a work in progress, however I should have a full write up about it in the near future.
This is one of the last UI elements to get its update, however, There may b...
Slowly whittling the selection down only 3 left to chose from. You all know the drill by now - Vote for the character you would like to see in next months special members only renders.
Higher Tiers will have a more lewd version.
Those who follow me on twitter (and Discord) will have already seen this image, however Both Louise and Kimiko were the two favourites from the poll.
Image is also attached in 4k form for those that may wish to download and keep or use as a wallpaper.
I will be putting the poll for next months special render up tomorrow for everyone to vote on.
I hope you like the image, comment ...
It's hard to imagine another month has passed by. Getting ever closer to the holiday season.
Spent a fair amount of time working on the flashback scenes this last week, there is however, one more I have planned but this will be fleshed out (pun totally intended) in the comming week.
I still have the poll to arrange for the bonus images for you guys, but due to the 500 twitter followers 4k poll thought it best to hold this one over.
Speaking of that poll, the results are i...
I recently passed 500 followers on Twitter. I thought it would be a fun idea to create a special 4k render for everyone and I want you to decide on who is in the image!
This will be available for download rather than just a posted image. I have a simple one question poll HERE
Please select only TWO names from the list as I will be creating an image of the both of them together.
