Dreams Of Desire [lewdlab]

News Returns!




Hey everyone

It's been a while!
Well, I've been busy af lately. My schedule will get better and better from now on (I mentioned I have some things going on in my private life that need a lot of attention a few posts back).
And of course I'm working on the new scenes for DoD:DE, as you can see from the little previews in the post.

I was like - I'm going to make some short but sweet scenes... Well, as usual, I ended up with things like the dinner scene, which is 66 renders long and has 18 animations, with a variety of fetishes and action for everyone.
So from now on I'll try to make it brief and not create giant scenes because I know you're all waiting for DoD:DE and for me to return to MP as soon as possible.

From this point forward in the post there will be some spoilers about Dreams of Desire's story, so if you haven't finished the game yet, proceed at your own risk.

In these previews you see the scenes that come after the endings. If you get Tracy's ending, you'll be able to spend some quality time with her in a romantic setting, but I don't want to spoil the whole thing. You'll have plenty of options with her.
Right now the most difficult character to deal with is Alice. She's affected by the reworked 'endgame' scenes, because I felt the revelation was weak compared to the rest of the game. Looks like I'll completely scrap the last warehouse scenes too and make something else - or reword that scene completely. I feel like that was rushed and clunky, so hopefully the new version will be a better experience.

In the poll where I asked you guys if you want more ending content or more in the middle of the game type of content, it was in favor of both. Well, I should have expected that:)
So there are some short scenes that can be added into the middle of the game and they won't disturb the story.
Oh and by the way, I really liked your comments on the last post about the type of content you'd like to see. I can't promise all of them in DoD:DE, but if it doesn't make it in that, it might make it into Midnight Paradise.
That's all for now and I'll try to be less silent and more active with posts.

And as always, thank you for your great support!

А всё,игра типа заканчивается на моменте с тюрьмой(или что это)?

This bugged me, because I know I haven't changed the size of her tits, so I opened the file again to check... and I'll be damned. Those tits are really smaller for some reason. That wasn't intended. I'll update to the original sizes.

I started experimenting with her tits, made an even bigger version with a nicer shape. It's subtle.
But I probably will still use the original. Anyways, thanks for pointing this out!

This is the original size:

Plans for 2021 & Dreams of Desire - Definitive Edition




Hey everyone

It's the first post of 2021. I made my first post here in 2017. Damn, that was a long time ago already.
I know you are probably curious or excited - or both - about what's in the title, but let me talk about the other stuff first.

Last year I was struggling. I guess we all were, the virus, the lockdowns. And it's still going, but hopefully not for long.
I had a few goals that I didn't reach last year, but that's okay. Nothing's ever perfect. But I'm heading into this new year with a fresh spirit and motivation.
I have new goals and the leftovers from last year and I'll work hard to achieve them this time. One of those goals is progressing Midnight Paradise development to near the end. We'll see how it looks by the end of the year, but I'm confident I'll be able to cover a lot of ground and it will be close to finish, while also making sure I'm giving every character the attention they deserve.

To be able to do that, I need to ramp up the content, the pace, everything. And honestly, with my little break from MP I feel like I'm up for the challenge now.

I'm also upgrading "the lab" - meaning I've ordered new PC parts and I'm building a new computer from scratch. I will move the current workstation to a different place in the house and it will act as a render server, while I'll be working on my PC. That way I can work on one PC, while the other is rendering 24/7 and at night, both can render at the same time.

This will also be my first custom liquid cooling build, so if you guys are interested I can make something of a build log and post it here.
The custom loop cooling will make sure that the new workstation is going to be cool and silent! No more vacuum cleaner noise while working!

On another topic: I'm going back to regular posting schedule... again!
Dev updates on Mondays, and image posts / previews on Wednesdays and Fridays, when I return to working on Midnight Paradise.

Oh, and one more thing. Patreon has notified me last year that they have a new feature called annual pledges. Basically, if you want you can pledge annually, instead of monthly. Why is that good? In my opinion, because of two reasons.

1 - Enabling this option gives you guys more choice. And more choice is always good.
2 - I can set a discount for annual pledges.

I've set the discount to 16% for now (which is the maximum amount I can set) - which means you only pay 10 months' worth of pledges for a year, or in other words, you get 2 months for free.
There's a possibility I'll change the discount amount later, but I haven't really thought about that yet.
Anyways, it's an option, totally up to you. Of course if you want to stay the way you are now, this won't change anything.
If you want to upgrade, here's how you do it:

Log in, hover over your profile icon in the top right corner, and select Manage Memberships
From your Active Memberships page click Edit next to the pledge you want to change
You’ll see a familiar checkout page where you can select Annual
Click Update. Note: you’ll be charged upfront for the discounted price
Patreon also has a help center article if you have any questions about how it works.

And now, about DoD.

I mentioned I'm working on something I wanted to work on for a while now, and during this break from Midnight Paradise I went back to work on Dreams of Desire.
I've been asked many times, why don't I release DoD on Steam.
Well, here we go, after I'm done, DoD is going to steam.

But what's with the title?

Dreams of Desire: Definitive Edition
Here's what will be different about this than before and what I'm working on:

- I'm going back and remaking all the animations to be on the same quality as of Midnight Paradise. Smooth, 30 FPS animations.
- There are things need to be fixed. I didn't have time back then for some features, like the rewards for going all the way with 'ass' or 'tits' choices.
- I'm reworking the finale a little bit. The only serious criticism I heard was that the ending felt a bit rushed, and in hindsight I have to agree. I'll change the pacing and add content there so it won't feel rushed.
- I'm also adding brand new scenes, and each character will get screen time, especially the 'main girls'
- Official localization for the game, meaning DoD will be available fully translated in Russian, German, French and Spanish (and English, of course)
- Adding achievements (steam achievements as well)
- Bonus Gallery with unlockables and hidden images
- And of course The Holiday Special and The Lost Memories are included in this as well and will be bundled into a complete package.

More info, a teaser, and the release date is coming later.
But I'll keep you guys updated about the progress. For now I'll be finished with reworking ALL the animations soon, then it's time to make some new content, while the other members of the team are helping out with the rest of the stuff, like localization.
The animations are the bulk of the work, and that's over soon, so I'm happy with progress.

Phew, this was a wall of text guys, thank you for powering through it. I'll see you guys in the next post, and of course if you have any questions or wanna discuss the contents of this post, feel free to hop on our Discord server.

And as always, thank you for your amazing support!
