Development Update #38 - January 08, 2018
🕑 Added 2018-01-08 20:13:50 +0000 UTC Hey everyone!First Dev Update of the year!
The holidays messed up the post timings, but it's back on track now.
So, a new year is upon us. A new year, new opportunities? I think yes!
2017 was a really crazy year for me. I'd never would have thought this would happen, that DoD would 'blow up' and that so many of you would enjoy my game and. This has truly been a turning point in my life, and for that I'm forever thankful to you guys.
2018 is going to be a big year for Lewdlab, in many ways.
I've been secretly conjuring up ideas, fleshing out concepts and planning for what is to come. DoD is soon coming to an end with a huge finale that is going to be worthy of the game, so naturally I'm already planning the next move.
It's going to be a much bigger, more ambitious project than Dreams of Desire. I've had this idea for a long time now, but you know me, I keep things a secret until they are sure. So the next project is going to have a more open format, meaning you'll get to do tons of things, anytime you want, and the game's progression won't be linear like in DoD, but it will depend on you.
With that said, I don't want to create a grind fest or anything similar. So you don't have to worry about that. It's going to be a different game, and hopefully, an even better one.
Now some other stuff. As it turns out, a new year means new PC hardware. I've been working with a fualty motherboard for a while now apparently. It didn't cause too much trouble, but it was annoying enough to influence workflow. So a the Lewdstation has gotten a new motherboard and a new CPU, and also increased the RAM (I've been running out of it lately)
But that didn't go so smooth (new chipset problems), so I spent the weekend troubleshooting and getting the new system up and running. I managed to deal with the problem and now it's working like a charm. Hopefully it stays this way (fingers crossed)
I also couldn't just quite do the Q&A - or AMA on reddit, rather - yet. But I was thinking next week on Thursday (18th) would be a good time.
I'll give you the specifics during this week.
I'll go into more detail on EP10 in next week's Dev Update. Release dates below:
EP 10 Early Access Elite version: January 27th
EP 10 General Release: January 30th
And as always, gigantic thank you for all your support throughout this journey!

I wouldn't mind at all if you'd milk the DoD story a little longer. I just stepped in / became patron during Episode 9. Would hate for it to end soonish!

Getting better hardware...?? So the renders could be BETTER? FML I'm definitely going to need to replace the battery in my pacemaker.
I am actually going to be a little sad to see DoD come to an end. I really like this game a lot. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks Dr. Sin.

It's cool to get a couple morsels of info about the next project. I'm sure everyone is anticipating it just as much as I am. About DoD, I hate to sound like a broken record, but do you have a more concrete idea of how many episodes we're looking at until the finale? Of course, I'm only asking to prepare myself mentally, for when the end arrives it will be incredibly bittersweet :(/:)
