Hello there,

 

It's been quite a while, isn't it?

I know, I know I should post more, publish more custom renders, end the story before 2026...

But that won't happen considering how much time I have in my hands (unless I sacrifice something in the traditional list composed of friends, family, sleep or my personal time... And I don't want that).

Still, I keep working on DW at my own pace and while it's not much, it's still something I'm fine with. Especially considering no one owes me anything until a new version is released, so that's less pressure on my side.

 

Now, let's get back to our business! As the title says, I finally finished writing the Chapter 5 of Dreamland Wanderer (yay! \o/).

Once more, I went a bit overboard with more than 75 pages of script and I'm now worried about my ability to make all the renders before I hit retirement age.

But, from my own POV, it'll be way worth it!

 

Let me say a couple of words about what's coming in said release.

First of all, that'll be the start of May's route (unless you decided to go for April in C4, or keeping strategic saves as every man of culture should do).

Still, don't expect to go all in with her right at the start of your journey together. After 2 years, you should know that I'm a slow burn fanatic. 

Other than that, you'll be able to spend a bit of time with some side characters I won't name here to avoid spoilers.

Last but not least, the story will move forward quicker than ever and will be packed with action, epic fights (or not) and totally unrelated ecchi scenes.

 

I hope the attached render I made for this post is to your liking (especially you

lr.i.nl…). It's maybe related to the next chapter. Or not, who knows…

Supporters, another post should follow this week with the names of the future events (tradition, you know...)

 

For the others, let's meet soon(?) for an update post regarding my progress on the renders.

Sweet Dreams.

Hello my Dreamers,

As the festive season rolls in, I'm here to share our annual Christmas post! As the year winds down, let's take a moment to appreciate the small joys that make our everyday lives special.

Firstly, I'd like to update you on the progress of Chapter 5 – Part 1. It's been a bit over a month since the release of Chapter 4, and the encouraging feedback from you has been a beacon of warmth, especially as life outside the Dream Worlds has been quite demanding. Currently, I am deep into the writing phase of Chapter 5, finding it challenging to confine my thoughts to the usual ten events due to the richness of the story unfolding. I'm not cutting any content just yet, preferring to see where this journey takes us. While I won't commit to a strict deadline, my aim is to complete the writing and scripting by the end of January, after which I'll move on to working on the renders.

Your reception of Chapter 4 has deeply touched me. As I've mentioned before, that chapter holds a significant place in my heart, and completing it left me with a profound sense of "The Void." So, thank you, truly.

To those fortunate enough to have some time off during the holidays, I hope you enjoy every moment to its fullest. And to those who are working through, stay strong and remember to take brief pauses to breathe and reminisce about happy times.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Eve.

Warm regards, 

Shli

My fellow Dreamers,

Today is the day! I’m proud to bring you the Chapter 4 release.

I’ve already told quite a bit about this version in my previous post:

                “…that Chapter is both my favorite while being the harder to work on. As opposite to the previous versions, the story you’ll have to get through is mostly straightforward. I’ve made that choice because the flow of C4 events matters a lot. I want you to embark on a feel’s rollercoaster here and, for that, I require all your attention.

Along the 8 events, you will navigate between several seas. Passing by some spooky stuff, from lighthearted comedy, to drama, and, of course, stopping by the vast NSFW land, you’ll embark on a journey that, I hope, will inspire some of your dreams.

I won’t go deeper into story details here, as I don’t want to spoil the goods. However, keep in mind that, Chapter 4 concludes the first part of Dreamland Wanderer story. It’s also a good opportunity for me to introduce the VN routes. So, I can only advise you to keep a warm save at the beginning of current content somewhere…”

On a more technical matter: 

I hope you’ll enjoy the next step of our journey.

Today is also the second anniversary of DW. I’ve prepared a special render for us to celebrate!

Last but not least, for those of you who have asked me about how to support: Looking at my release schedule being slow, I don’t want to go back to a monthly supporter’s billing. The thing is: Patreon can’t modify my page settings to make a switch to “Pay per release” system and, until I stop putting the billing on hold, no new subscribers can join… So, I had no other choices but to recreate another Patreon page…

So, I did, and I also tried to recreate the whole history of posts here for you to feel at home. New URL should be the same as the old one (https://www.patreon.com/dreamlandwanderer).  It may not be approuved by the Patreon team at the moment I post this message but it should be running within hours (or at least I hope so...). Former page could still be accessed here if needed (https://www.patreon.com/dreamlandwandererold). 

As I said before, the whole plan was to switch to a “Pay per release” billing. That means that you shouldn’t have to pay for anything until I release a new major version of DW. Of course, I’ll let all the subscribers know beforehand to let you cancel your pledge if that’s what you want. In short, no monthly and no surprise billings to fear.  

For current subscribers: I’ll suspend my former Patreon page in a month or so. If you wish to keep offering support, feel free to move onto the new page. About those of you with limited tiers (The Origin, First Wanderer, Team Founder, Old Monarch), please get in touch with me on Discord beforehand so I’ll open said tiers temporarily for you to subscribe.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Shli

PS: I’ve upgraded the Ren’Py version of the game so, unfortunately, I’m not able to make an “update only” release this time. Sorry about that…
