MP Development Update #10
🕑 Added 2019-09-17 20:43:58 +0000 UTCHey 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!

A man of taste I see. :) I don't know if you know this but you're actually able to change the amount of what you want to pledge, so you can technically give as much as you want like for instant 2$ or 5$. There's no "reward" other than helping out abit more though.
That's why you shouldn't complain about the game when it's not 1.0. That is why I wait for the full version to have full joy. I realized that I love your sense of style when it comes to women's clothes. The more the better. Dresses, leggings, underwear, blouses, jeans or shoes (maybe sometimes something other than super sexy high heels?;) I have a question. Maybe you consider adding 2 $ and 5 $ donate? I want to put something more into your "piggy" bank than $ 1 and $ 10 is little too much for me. There are probably more such people.

I jumped the gun with my O.P. I didn't even read your post prior to writing. I'm so glad to hear that you are including Android with the other download options. Thanks

My apologies.
When can we expect the new update?

The devil’s in the details they say! Thanks Doc for the touch on the intricacies!

If you read the post fully you probably saw the bold text in the second to last paragraph that says Android build.

I've been a patron now for a while and obviously enjoy your work but, I was wondering if there is a way to keep enjoying your content on my smartphone? I'm rarely home and I use my laptop very very rarely other than to watch your work while at home, which, like I said before, I'm rarely home. The only way I can see any of your work is on the Playforceone website, which is where I discovered your work. But there isn't much to watch, which is why I became a patron here. I just want to get my money's worth and enjoy watching your creations more often.
