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…

My dear Dreamers,

It’s been quite a while so it’s time to share some news with you all.

Let’s start with the dev status of Dreamland Wanderer. I was able free myself from work for two days this week after more than 10 days with almost no free time. Let’s be honest for a minute here; IT WAS AWESOME! The feeling to see my characters interacting along the renders, to find back the music, to plunge once more into the story... It’s crazy how prompt we are to forget the small simple things that make us happy…

Thanks to that, I finished another event. That means there's only one left to work on before release \o/. Don’t get overhyped tho, work will keep me kinda busy for the upcoming weeks so Chapter 4 won't release in just a couple of days.

I also took advantage of this time to create the render attached. Have you ever wondered how life could have been if things were different? Well, I do (and not because I regret something specifically, I just love to imagine things before falling asleep…) and sometimes I also do that for my story. Who knows what would have happened if the “Real” world had remained the same as the one we live in? Maybe our girls could have become high school friends, create some club and live more “standard” adventures… At least, that’s how I picture it. I hope you like it.

Have fun wandering your Dreams,

Shli

PS: Special thanks to those who’re asking about how they can support the game, all pledges are currently frozen for both supporters and newcomers but don’t worry about that. Knowing that you’re enjoying my story is more than I could have dreamed of when I started my journey.

Hello my dear Dreamers,

It’s been quite some time and I’m sorry for that. I’ve been pretty busy in my IRL job (which isn’t a bad thing, it just means less time to work on DW).

Regardless, the game dev is still in progress and I continue my work on the renders. My latest estimation is that I have around 100 renders plus the 15 animations left to complete before letting you all play the Chapter 4.

Speaking of renders, I’ve attached to this post a pic I love way too much because I think it reflects the nostalgia that you could feel when you remember your late afternoons playing video games at a friend’s place during summer. I hope you’ll like it!

Have a sweet Sunday!

Shli.
