Hey everyone

Bringing the dev updates back!


As you can see on the above images I've been working on the navigation a bit.
With the addition of the new rooms the menu bar at the top became a bit crowded and honestly, the old navigation code was a mess. That's why the navigation is being rewritten from the ground up - this is important, more on this later in the post - and with the new code comes new visuals.

My intention here is that the game will feel a bit more immersive like this when you can click on the actual objects on the screen. Also let's face it, clicking on a navigation button on the top bar and then seeing a door, then clicking on the door is clunky as hell.

This has been designed so that you can reach any place in the house from the living room in 2 clicks. That's the same amount of clicks as before, but hopefully it's more aesthetic this way and less confusing.
This will be implemented in the 0.6 release.

The 0.6 release will bring a lot of small improvements as well. These are some of those improvements.
  • You can start a new game, you can start at a later point in the story. This is useful if you've played the game before but want to start a new game and skip the parts you don't care much about.
  • Once you have seen all the content in a release, a message will display that you have completed the release so you won't have to guess or check the changelog to be sure. This has been way overdue.
  • Due to using a new file format, you can expect a slightly better image quality with a slightly smaller game size.
  • Improved video/animation quality thanks to better encoding technique
  • Scene replay / Extras gallery will be improved, it will be clear to see if you still have scenes to unlock or not.
There will be a few more minor things that will be overall usability better, and of course any bugs stemming from old code is now being dealt with, thanks to the navigation rebuilding.

Speaking of rebuilding the code.
With this, we'll make the first ever experimental Android build for a Lewdlab game.
After seeing the results and ironing out any possible bugs, this will be a regular build from now on. And yes, that means there will come an official Android build of Dreams of Desire as well.

I don't want to share too much about the story direction just yet - I will leave that to the newer dev updates - but I can tell you that I will be introducing 2 new female characters, and with that the main cast will be complete. There will be more new characters later, but for now, I'll have all the ones I need to transition to Phase 2 in the story.

I'll post previews soon. See you guys in the next one!

And as always, huge thanks for all your support!

Because he wasted so much time working on and trying to fix the code, UI, and engine, in fact he still is. Imagine if he used ren'py from the start.

That is why complaining about the game when it is under construction makes no sense. Mr Sin does not only add next story, but also improves the gameplay and improves mechanism. Everyone has the right to make mistakes. Pointing errors to improve and suggestion ok, but don't shoot him because the guy has great talent.
Icstor is just coming back while Lust & Passion exaggerates with the game's momentum and update is once every 100 years. For me Lewdlab next to Viitgames (Haley Story) and StoperArt (Jessica Oneil) is in top3 now.

I like the approach to make a good game. Not just make content that is asked for. That is the case were you get into just making more and more fap material and no real content. Set your sights on making the game good when it's done. Not for the next update in my opinion.

What DoD stand of? Dream of Desire?

================================

Hmm,, I quite understand why so many people (including me) demand more of the content of the game like this.
I mean, I quite like the sandbox style with simulations like this(especially when the story where we need to corrupt the family like this). Yes it became grindy, but when the progress move forward, and the scene happen, that where the real reward we can get. But here the problem, many game like this suffers with too little reward. For example, it pretty grindy just to peep at the girl, or just to see they naked, or just to touch the boobs. After that we grind again to get next scene. It pretty much how grind game look like. But thats how grind game like this work right?

Yes you are right. But the real problem is, the slow update of the content.

Too many game like this getting slow at update of the content, and worse of all, suddenly the creators losing interest and abandoned the project. So many game like this suffer like this. I understand, what creator did are to make the game better. So it will bug free and UI friendly to the player. But at least, even you release new update just to fix something, add new content too.

Hope next update, there will be more content. :D

The problem is that we will be done with phase 1 in next update,but so far we have almost nothing.And I don't talk about the sex.With so many characters for 6 updates we barely have 2-3 scenes with each

No problem with slow progress.The problem is slow update.W ehave 5 updates for 1 year.And let's be honest all 5 updates are pretty small.Together they are like 1-2 updates of some of the other games

Are the ELITE scenes seen part the gameplay or do you just enter the gallery for them?

This has been designed so that you can reach any place in the house from the living room in 2 clicks. That's the same amount of clicks as before, but hopefully it's more aesthetic this way and less confusing.

Oh lords, that navigation looks terrible.
This is his way of fixing the previous clunky system, has the same number of clicks and makes the renders worse? Dev needs serious help with the writing and interface.

You're cray cray if you think these:
nav_hallway_2_day.png hallway_1_night.png

look worse than a plain image of a door taking up the entire screen, and that staring a single large door that takes up the entire screen and clicking on small doorknobs is better than the navigation system that Milfy City and almost all other open world adult games use. :LOL:
