Pre-release for 3 DM H-Sketch Scenes and progress update
🕑 Added 2019-07-15 22:04:42 +0000 UTCSmall update on how everything worked out so far!
I was hoping to release DM v0.2 today but because of some technicalities I will need a bit longer to work on it.
To not have anything to show at all I've prepared 3 of the H-sketch-scenes that I think are far enough to be shared and uploaded them as standalone scenes that you can watch/play.
I've put a few more details to why I'm taking longer for the update over here:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/2019/07/release-of-first-few-dm-h-scenes-and.html
For those of you who don't care and just want to see the H-Scenes here's the download links for all of them:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/p/dream-molder-h-scene-demos.html
These will obviously be NSFW and contain spoilers for the game, so please keep that in mind when downloading/playing!
The scenes will consist of simple sketches and "animation tests" that will give me an direction to go in once I start animation them properly.
Since it's just sketches most details will be missing, if you think there's something important that should be added let me know though so I can look into it for the full release of v0.2.
Another 2 Scenes are in work and will be added to this post along the month, I will notify you when they're up!
Lastly a small note that payment/support is now paused until I've caught up with the roadmap! (DM v0.2 release hopefully end of this month and Braix-poll animation the following)
This means nobody will be charged at the start of next month and won't be for every continued month after if not stated otherwise.
I know that some people here acknowledged I need the extra time to work on the game and should keep payment/support up, but this is something I decided for myself.
I want to make sure that you know I'm actually working on the game trying to improve it, not just trying to waste time for more support.
I'm sorry for the delay of the release and I hope you enjoy the standalone scenes until then.
Thanks for sticking around everyone!

I completely agree with you on this Funky. I feel like Dark has more than earned every penny I could offer and I gladly offer him my support in any way I can. But I also greatly respect Darks decision.
I don’t think anyone’s opposed to taking a little more time to make sure their game is high quality. Not after the baffling decisions of a certain game developer we all know... yeah, anyway. Looking back on the quality and effort of previous projects completed or not. you shouldn’t be working for free. You haven’t done anything that has convinced me your wasting time to suck up some extra cash from supporters. I’ve supported garbage, absolute GARBAGE in the past. So I know what minimal effort looks like. Your stuff ain’t it. This project has been the carrot on a stick( can’t remember which supporter said that or where but I’m stealing the phrase!)that’s been getting me through my hellish job. I’m so used to garbage that whenever you DO finish something I’m utterly blown away by it! I don’t think I’m going to change your mind about pausing support. But it bugs me. It feels like you’re being so hard on yourself for being slow. And that you think we’re all mad at you or something. Hopefully not but pausing support for several months feels so extreme just to assure us you’re still working. I could be reading into all this completely wrong. I just don’t want you to be punishing yourself over some delays like you have to appease gods or something.

Honestly, the time estimate you made was pretty short for such a project, but you made some awesome progress, that's impressive. Though, count me in among those that would want to maintain their pledge (or even raise it a bit), you have worked, deadlines such as this are often underestimated, that is quite normal for such grand scale project to push it back, so you definitely didn't stale for time there, you deserve it, that's my opinion on the subject at the very least.

I'm happy to hear that things are coming along somewhat how you want it to, even if you stumble a lil' along the way.
