Apology and small progress update on everything... (Patreon)

Hey everyone, I want to start with a small apology for my long silence.

I wanted to have a couple of things released by now but then stayed away from patreon because I haven't been satisfied with the work I put out these last few months.

I did still release the few things that I was able to finish in that time over on the discord and blog, not as a patreon/paid post though as was previously planned.


I realized that not posting/updating here at all isn't the best solution either since there's people here that support my work even if it takes a bit longer or simply don't read the smaller updates in other places.
Which is why I'll start putting out a few more progress updates over here as well, starting with this one.

This is mostly a summary of things done over the last 3 months, so it will include the stuff that I already uploaded in other places over that time.
For everyone that's only following me over here though I hope you'll see/find something in it to make up for the long silence.

Let's start with the
Dream Molder Progress made.

Last time I was talking about having finished Braixens/Fia's Model for the game and working on the style customization next to give the ability to change your Braixens inGame looks.

These customisations are done by now and although I didn't yet get it to the quality I wanted it to be in, it's definitely ready to use in game.

To be sure they actually work and prepare the inGame scripts needed I made a small tool where you can play around with the different styles and pretty much create your own Braixen which you can download over here:

Braixen Creator / Censored Version for Windows

There's a couple more versions for different OS and a uncensored one with NSFW options over on my blog as well, so if you haven't seen those yet and want to give your own Braixen a try check it out:

Lastly I made a Small Demo Scene to show off how the model is actually going to be used inGame, which should be a "big" thing as it's the first time showing what the actual game is supposed to look like I guess?

This scene isn't actually part of the game, so no worries about spoilers or anything.
It's nothing big either, just a simple test showing off how the model will be used.


As for what I'm working on now or the recent progress made, I'm working on the last bits of art needed for a first episode release of the game.
Starting with the CG's and animations of the h-scenes used in that part/episode.

I've already finished coloring half of them by now and starting modeling the first batch of animations (about 18 different loops) that I'm going to upload/release later this month.
I'm hoping in about 2 weeks, which will also be the paid post of the month.

I don't think that it's worth posting the WIP CG's as of yet since a lot of them are still need some last changes/fixes which will wait for after the animation is done.
I'll still post what I can with some info as a NSFW tier post afterwards though to at least have something to show.

I actually already wanted to have the animation finished and up by now, as mentioned before I've sadly been way too slow with work and nothing came out as I wanted it to.

I hope this update somewhat makes up for it and I'll post/update properly once the animation is done later this month.


Note on the side:
I'm also planning on posting a poll over the next couple days, letting you decide how to move on with Dream Molder releases.
I'm pretty much still deciding if I should go for "full game-without CG's but later patches" or "Episodes with all Art/CG's but longer waiting between releases".

I'm honestly getting quite impatient with Dream Molder releases as I don't have the time to work on anything else like random animations and side projects  because of it, which is why I decide on how exactly I'll move on with that vote. But more to that later..

Another Note:
This is completely unrelated and has to do with the virus going around atm.
As a person that's affected themselves I hope that you're all doing well and watch out for your health over the months. Let's hope this is all over soon!


Again, I'm sorry for the long silence and I hope my next post/update isn't going to take this long. ^^"
Have a nice week everyone.
