Alright, this took me way too long to post again but I've already talked about that in the post before I guess.
This scene still needs lots of work, but I feel like I can work out the details and bugs when working on Episode 1 as well and anymore time spend on it now would be wasted.

This scene is rather short and nothing new as it's been released as sketch demo already, I hope that you still enjoy it and it will set an example of what Episode 1 is roughly going to look like.

I've also added some additional files to this post which are clips used in this scene, voiced and merged to give something to hear/look at even without playing the scene.

Keep in mind that the voice used in those clips is not actually the voice that will be used for Fia, but simply a placeholder to use with this upload.

Hey everyone~
I was supposed to post this update+links a while ago but have been kind off pushing it back as always.

If you're following discord and/or the blog you probably already know that the "new" h-Scene demo is out for a couple of days now.
I haven't been to pleased with the outcome which is why I kept working on it over the month trying to improve on it.

There's still tons of things that need work, but for now I'm going to "openly" release the demo.
So whoever wants to spoil himself and/or see what the gameplay of Episode 1 is supposed to look like can now do so without having to search/ask for the link.

Most bugs and problems have been reported or I'm aware of already.
If you still want to give some feedback however, you're free to do so over on the discord!
I'll read through everything you've got to say so I can change things to the better once EP1 is out which will include this hScene!

I will post the link to the demo, live2D project files and a few other things in their according tiers directly after this.

Having said all of this I now also officially start work on Dream Molder Episode 1, which will be the next proper release after this one.
I've already did some work for Ep1 here and there, but will use this weekend to kick things off properly while also collecting the information needed to update you guys along the way/until release.


I already mentioned this on the blog but I actually had to move somewhat abrupt over the month which took a bit of my time and I wasn't able to work on DM as much as I was hoping too.
This is why this post/update will be rather small instead of a charged/payed one.

So no support for this month, but I'll turn it back on with next months progress update in about 2 weeks~

Plans for those next 2 weeks will be coloring & modeling Side Characters, rewriting some of the engine + scenes to better fit the new style and start implementing the Braixen Creator/Tamagotchi into the main game.

As always I'm not sure how far I'll get, but I will properly update you on everything in two weeks, posting some previews and info!

This is pretty much all I can talk about right now, for anyone that's interested though I've been planning on releasing some info on physical rewardsI've planned .
I've started sketching & collecting ideas for different collectables (Fia Dakimakura/bodypillows, pins, mousepads(3d&flat) and cards,etc,etc..) a while back, but didn't want to release/show anything that I wasn't sure is going to work out 100%.

I've been looking into a couple of manufacturers and opportunities to make them since and felt like I could at least ask what of those people would enjoy/want to make sure I order the right amount when it actually starts.

For now Episode 1 is still more important, since a few people did ask me about physical releases though I wanted to at least let you guys know that I'm at it.
I'll release proper info and polls when I'm ready.

But that's pretty much it for now.
The h-Scene related stuff will follow shortly after and I hope that next update won't take as long as the last.
Again, I'm sorry for the wait everyone. I hope you all have a great weekend and for everyone that's going to play it, have fun with thes mall demo!
-Dark

Hey everyone, just letting you know that I've posted a small progress update over on the blog to show off some of the things I worked on over the last few weeks.

I've actually wanted to post a demo of the scene along with this, but had to deal with a few more problems than I expected to which is why I'm holding off on posting it for a bit longer...

The demo in itself is pretty much done, and besides having to add sound and a few more character motions there isn't much more to do.

For now I'm trying to fix the ongoing bugs/issues with the scene and once those are gone I will finish the last few things to upload a demo for you guys.
Let's hope a week is enough for now...

Until then though you can, if you're interested, take a look over on the blog where I posted what I worked on over the last two weeks, the kind of problems I ran into and so on...
http://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/2020/05/progress-update-early-may.html

It's pretty much just me rambling and as always, a bit chaotic.
I feel like it's getting worse with every post that I do, so let me know if it get's out of hand and I'll try changing up how I post/sort things. xD


As a note on the side..
I don't normally post these kind of smaller updates over here and this is more or less an effort to try to stay engaged with those of you that are only supporting me over here and don't follow the blog/discord.

If these kind of progress updates are annoying though just let me know and I'll go back to only posting the important stuff+uploads over here!

Have a nice week everyone and let's hope finishing the demo won't take too much longer~

Hey everyone, I've just released/uploaded the preview clips for Dream Molders first hScene and thought I should give an poll/DM update for all to read, not just the patrons.

This also marks the first charged post in a while, which means starting next month support/payment will be back up! I hope the few things I've worked on/posted in that time was worth the stay for you guys!

There's probably a few people who are/were around just for one time support or until this happens, so for everyone leaving after (or even before that): thanks for your support and staying around!


Now on to the "serious" matter...

I've just closed the poll regarding Dream Molders release plans and the results were rather one-sided as you've probably seen for yourself.

Most of you voted for a "Episode/Part Release" rather than an "Beta/UpdateOverTime" one which means the plan on what/how I work on everything stays the same.
What changes however is how I'm going to handle patreon posts until the release of Dream Molder Part 1.

-Starting today I will post progress updates of everything that I've been able to finish while working on Dream Molder at least twice (more often if I get stuff done quicker) a month

These progress updates will include: WIP character art and animations, gamplay clips and previews, hScene clips like the ones uploaded today, etc, etc..
Pretty much whatever I get done in time.

The second post/update will always be a charged post, or at least if I've gotten enough progress over the month which will we will see when the time comes.


I've somewhat updated the blog's progress page, but for everyone not wanting to search/read through all the smalltalk I'll write down a quick summary of what bigger steps need to be done for the Episode, in the order I'm planning on working on them:

Next DM worksteps in order I will work on them:
- Scripting and putting together hScene 1 for standalone release
- Coloring and animating other character art, aside from Fia-/Braixens
- Scripting and putting together Episode 1 scenes
- Updating and improving hScene 2 animations
- Making and adding CG art to important scenes

- First release for Testers and Bug Fixing

I'll update after every big step, or roughly every 2 weeks in case I've still got to work on them.
In either case, I will update you on what I did over the weeks and showcase whatever I've finished.


The first two steps should practically be done with rather quick, if everything works out.
For the third I will take my time with making sure everything works the way I want it to and especially, feel good when playing. I've got quite some ideas that I can't wait to show off, but I need to make sure that they're working before doing so too.

Everything after will depend on how well the first few steps went.
But I guess I'll update you guys on everything along the way anyway!

I'm going to keep up the smaller "daily" updates over on the blog and discord by the way, just in case anyone wondered about it.


This should be all regarding the poll and the update and I'll get right to work putting together that complete h-scene to update you guys on early next month or in roughly 2 weeks!

If you've got any concerns or feel like I forgot talking about something just let me know, I'm trying to reply to everything over the days! (Comments kinda get lost over here and I always find them way later on, I'm trying though. ^^")

Have a nice week and stay healthy everyone!
~Dark

There's a few things I want to talk about, but I'll go ahead and post the few clips/loops of the first DM h-Scene that I promised (along with some info) before making a text post!

These are most of the loops/animations that will be used for the first h-scene in Dream Molder, exported and cut into multiple mp4 files for you to download and view.

The hScene in itself isn't an important story part and more of a filler.
This plus not having any sound/text to go along with barely makes them a spoiler to the actual game. (If you don't mind already seeing the animations/art that is)
Half of the facial expressions and her reactions are actually still missing as they're only used as idle animations to go along with the text rather than independent animation loops/clips. (They're already done though, no worries)

Just expect the inGame scene and clips to be interacting with each other a lot better than the single clips uploaded here! :>


I'm going to start working on the full h-scene with text and sound next, then upload a similar demo to the old fair one.
This will be done as partial work for DM Episode 1, but also to have some more content/spoilers to upload over here before having the full episode released, but I'll add more info to that in the text post after.


There's two different parts to this h-Scene, each with around 10 small clips.
I've split them up into 2 different .zip files to reduce file sizes.
For those who don't like the loose files though I've put together a small montage of both parts.
Expect updated versions with sound once the full hScene is out!

One last thing:
These clips will look different from how they will look ingame.
The ingame scenes will use models to change and play animations on the fly, add different lighting and use it's own resolution.
See these animations as WIP or bonus files, rather than inGame art.

I will share the model itself together with the scene once it is out, so look forward for that one as well!

Let me know if you feel like something needs change/needs to be added.
You can always leave a message over on discord if that's easier for you!

Have fun everyone and stay healthy,
I'll post info to the poll outcome + some other info next!

Quick note for anyone not caring:
I've finished making the live2d models needed for the upcoming h-animation loops and am in the last steps of finishing them.
I'm still going to take a couple of days depending on how everything looks, but will definitely release them (hopefully sooner then)later this month!
There's a short preview of how they look on the discords "Dream Molder News" channel if you're interested.

Alright, this is the poll regarding Dream Molder's "upcoming" release that I've mentioned in my previous post.

The main reason for me posting this is because of how much time I spent working on DM without being able to post/upload anything simply because of I long I take for everything I'm working on.
No posts means no support for me for this month which could be solved by posting progress updates instead which I, however, feel aren't worth the support.

Secondly there's still so much other stuff I would love to work on.
Thing's to improve and projects to share which I simply don't have the time for while working on DM.

I know that a lot of people already told me that simple progress updates are enough, but I want to make sure that everyone (or in this case the majority) thinks that way.


This should be enough background. And to not make any more of an drama out of this let's move right on to the..

Poll options~

*Release Dream Molder in Episodes-
This is how I planned on doing it for a while now, but just to make sure for everyone that doesn't know what this means:
I'm going to solely focus on the release of Dream Molder and work on 1-2 h-Scenes + story to release the game in complete "Chapters".

This won't be the quickest way to releases/posts as I might take multiple months(1-2) finishing each chapter but it's definitely going to get the finished gameplay out faster.
This pretty much mean that if this option wins I won't have to tlk myself down when only posting progress updates each month (week if wanted?) and still get support until the full Episode/Chapter is ready for release.

*Release Dream Molder as Beta and Update over time
This option is for those that already want to play the FULL story, even if it doesn't have all the art or no 18+/h-scenes yet.

Instead of working on a release of a chapter, I would take a bit more time to build a complete beta version of the game using the art I already have, then gradually update it with new models/art/animations every month and post them as patreon only content.

Once I've got enough for an episode or chapter I would upload that one as public build for all.
Taking this option would mean smaller but more frequent uploads/content for the game over here, but also that complete episodes with all art will take a bit longer.
This also means that I could work on other art/projects on the side as there is less focus on meeting huge release dates. (random animations/mini games/demos for other projects/etc)

You can expect the "beta" version of the game to have the full story and look similar to the demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgK6DgDrPXU&t=87s ) that I've posted earlier this month.

However, h-scenes (+18stuff) and CG's(still&full body art splashs) will be missing and slowly be added over time.



Please know that I'm completely fine with both of these options.
I simply want to make sure that everyone knows what's going on and that the decision I make regarding those releases is what you want.

I will finish/upload the upcoming h-scene animation loops over the next couple days, then start working on a demo of that scene.

How we'll move on after that will depend on this poll.
Thanks for everyone reading through this and giving your opinion, I know I always make this harder than it has to be.
Have a nice weekend everyone and I see you with the release of the h-scene loops!

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to post this yet, as most of it is still WIP.
But with the amount of time I'm taking to actually finish everything I should at least upload some progress stuff every now and then..

I'll probably end up posting all in one batch/gallery to look through, so just keep in mind that it's not exactly how it'll show up inGame and that there's still more coming!


Also remember that these are somewhat of a Spoiler as they're all upcoming art from the game.
There's quite a few and I can hardly upload all of them since there's simply too many combinations of parts.
I do feel like this shows off what looks best and will mainly be used inGame though.

For anyone interested I've also added the old Animation Sketches to show a few of the loops that will be made with those colorations and released later this month.
Why WIP?
The CG's still need some work before they can be put into the game.
While coloring and shading are pretty much done I will still put some effect/light layers over them and change their placement/backgrounds to fit into the games resolution.

I will however upload all of the CG's with original placement and resolution over here once the scene is officially out.

The animations while already colored and prepared for animation will still need to be modeled and animated, which I will do over the coming weeks.
There sadly isn't much I can show since I would have to put the pictures together from the different layers/parts.

I will definitely tease/update a bit more on discord once the models are done though.

As a note on the side,
This is just 1 of 2 scenes that will be in the first Dream Molder part/Episode.
The other one will be a remodeled/improved version of the old demos Fair Scene.

Once this scene is finished and uploaded it will depend on the votes on the upcoming poll how I move on exactly. (working on next h-scene/preparing first episode, etc, etc...)


I hope this one together with the last post gives somewhat of an insight on what I was doing over the months and that you're looking ahead for more!

As always I probably forgot some of the stuff that I wanted to post, but I'll keep you updated on everything on discord.
So I'll see you around there!

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.

https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vxhHCJTN4Mo/XoqRVwQpjsI/AAAAAAAAAbo/ASgYBfgEeGcQ2xVZlUP_4ko0IP6EWKLSQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FiaModelStyles.gif

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
https://mega.nz/#!IfRW0IKC!We3Y2BiOnI_FW2BJinXNgAoIyLY3kmLOG8KR5PwUrR4

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:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/2020/02/braixen-creator-info-to-upcoming-dream.html

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?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgK6DgDrPXU&feature=youtu.be

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.

Two Lopunny competing to be master's favorite~

I always feel bad posting news/updates without any art going along with it, so I thought I'd color one of the sketches/ideas for the upcoming animation loops.

Nothing big and it's probably still a bit before I'm actually going to animate it and I might even go with one of the other sketches/have a completely new idea until I'm at that point.
I thought some of you might like it and it's probably better than posting nothing though. :D

I'll probably upload some more stuff over discord when I have the time, just keep an eye out for it on the patron channels. :>

p.s.:
I still need to upload some of the older animations and variations that I couldn't because of some problems with the host I was using.
I'm probably going to reupload stuff once I have the time since files sizes have grown quite a bit over time...
I'm sorry if you were waiting for any of them.

That's it for now and next post will most likely be the Braixen Creator next month.
Have fun and a nice sunday everyone,
I'll see you with the next update!
-Dark

Hey everyone, I took my time to post over here as usual.

Those of you that follow the blog and/or discord probably already know, but Ive' worked on quite a bit of stuff over the weeks.
After I havent been able to release the "Braixen Creator" that I was working on before the end of last year, I instead took my time to make a proper release in the early months of this one.

I ended up giving myself somewhat of an new years resolution and updated both the blog and the roadmap (which really needed those changes anyway).
I'm planning on a couple of different releases over the next few months reaching from the first few proper Dream Molder Parts, the next animation loops and some other stuff like the Braixen creator.

As last time these are just estimates that will highly depend on how everything works out, I will still try to keep up with the dates as much as possible though.

So if you're interested in what's coming and/or how long you still have to wait for it just take a look over here~ https://indarkwaters.com/info.html


Now as a small update on Dream Molders/Braixen Creators process:
I can mostly just say that I'm still working on it.

I've finished the base Braixen model and about 80ish poses/expressions for the game, so most of the character art needed for Braixen/Fia is already done.
I'm still going to animate the poses which will take some additional time, I will keep my time for now and finish the different custom styles + Braixen Creator first though, so it's probably not worth talking about that yet.

Without the animations it's probably not worth sharing all of the different expressions/styles with you guys yet either, but for everyone that's interested here's a few examples for what kind of stuff you can do with the finished model once the game/creator is out: https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/p/dream-molder-pose-collection.html

For everyone that's interested in the exact details on what's still needed for the game and how far I am working on it I added a site to the blog that's showing that exactly.
So if you're interested in the daily progress/etc the site is over here:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/p/dream-molder.html


Lastly again, I'm really sorry for being so quiet everywhere at the moment.
Months have been quite stressful and keeping to myself, working on all of this is my way to deal with them.
That's why I'm not posting any charged posts/updates either.

Whenever life calmed down a bit and/or I have the time to I will go back to updating a bit more frequently, for now it's just the blog and my random releases whenever they are ready.

I hope that's okay with everyone.

I've already finished somewhat of an example for what you can expect for the Lopunny animation to make up for it, I post that one as NSFW post in a sec too! (Although I already teased it on the patrons discord.)
But more to that in a sec!

For everyone that isn't nsfw patron and was only here for the news/update, have a nice sunday and I hope to see you around!

-Dark

As mentioned in the post before here's all the different scenes and loops from the full animation without sound and sorted by version!
Also includes some extra scenes that aren't in the full animation like anal scenes for the female versions etc.

Let me know if anythings broken/missing/missplaced and I'll fix it as soon as possible!

Lucario NSFW Loops - Female - With Chest ~ Shiny Version
Lucario NSFW Loops - Female - No Chest ~ Shiny Version

Lucario NSFW Loops - Female - Alternative Genitalia - With Chest ~ Shiny Version
Lucario NSFW Loops - Female - Alternative Genitalia - No Chest ~ Shiny Version

Lucario NSFW Loops - Male - No Chest ~ Shiny Version
Lucario NSFW Loops - Male - With Chest ~ Shiny Version

I'm still working on a Dream Molder Update, a Braixen Dressup/Creation and one more animation, will most likely not be able to release any of it this year though.
I'll do what I can to get at least the Dressup/Creation thingy out, more info on that in the blog post I'm in the next few days!

Sorry again for the long silence guys, I'll take my time updating and replying everyone over the next few days since the DM Stuff will most likely be pushed back after new year anyway.
That means no charged/payed post for this month too!

I'll notify when the update is up!
Have fun everyone and have a nice weekend!
~Dark

Hey everyone, it's been a while..
First of all, sorry for the long silence.

I've been quite busy working on the Dream Molder art/models and some additional stuff that's coming up later on and haven't really been able to update much over some stressful last weeks.

This won't be a charged/payed post btw.
I actually wanted to release some Dream Molder stuff along with this, I've had some problems getting everything to work the way I want it do though and it will take a bit longer because of this.

I'm putting together some info, writing on a bigger blog post to publish over the next few days (hopefully tomorrow?), but more on that later. I'll update you when the blogpost is up!

For anyone wondering about the animation or "reupload" here's some info on it:

Ever since the release of the old Lucario Animation last Christmas and a teaser of some unfinished animations people were asking for them to be completed.
I kinda shoved it back for a while since I wanted to move on from the animation and create new ones instead.

People really seemed to look forward to them though and since I was working with animating Dream Molder stuff anyway I finally took the time to fix/finish the scenes on the side so I can upload them for you guys.

It's bad enough that Luca had to wait about a year in that damn box. :p

I put a lot more work in than I planned to and ended up adding sounds, a couple of different versions, using some older feedback on to improve them as much as it was possible without having to redo the whole model/picture, etc...

Not all of the versions were meant to see the light of day, but some of you might still enjoy having them so it might still be worth adding them to the download.

Note: Versions without background music are still to follow.
Version Differences:

LucarioFull-ChestF - Human-like genitals + Boobs
LucarioFull-NoChestF - Human-like genitals - No Boobs
+shiny variations of both
+no music variations #Not Up Yet

LucarioFull-ChestF2 - Animal-like genitals + Boobs
LucarioFull-NoChestF2 - Animal-like genitals - No Boobs
+shiny variations of both
+no music variations #Not Up Yet

LucarioFull- NoChest M - Male Lucario / Anal
LucarioFull-ChestM - Male Lucario / Anal + Boobs
+shiny variations of both
+no music variations #Not Up Yet

Keep in mind that the male variant doesn't have it's own voice since it wasn't planned.
If this is something you would like let me know though and I'll take a look into it!

But alright, right on to the Loops!

Have fun guys, hope it's what you were looking/waiting for~
Let me know if anything's wrong or missing and I'll fix it asap!

Again, not much nor the usual stuff, but I thought some people might want this one aswell..

More info about this whole post in the sfw version!

As a little reminder, Lucario NSFW animations will be worked on next.
There's quite a few people that were waiting for them so before working on any other animation that isn't Dream Molder I will finish the Lucario ones.

Sorry for the long wait, I pretty much just didn't expect that people actually wanted to see them. I should be more careful about showing unfinished stuff when I'm not sure if I'm gonna work on it. :,D

Hope nobody get's offended by me lewding the Foxgranny, she's just too cute to not to!

I will upload project files in a couple of days as well.
They're actually somewhat cleaner and easier to use than the usual stuff I upload...

Hey everyone!
I know this is not the usual stuff I upload, but as some of you might have noticed I didn't charge for any of the posts yet this month, and didn't want to post just for the sake of posting a "charged" one.

The Fauna/Braixen animation was supposed to be the actual charged one, I kinda forgot about it though.

So here's the substitute post.
With this support is fully active again too, and accounts will get charged at the beginning of next month like "usual".

About everyone who's wondering what this is, it's Senko-San from the anime "Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san" and I've worked on it while the anime was running somewhat earlier this year. I've worked on it for myself and as a change of pace, rather than to upload it though
That's why I never finished and uploaded it since I wasn't sure anyone would be interested in it.
I did need something for the charged post however, so I took some extra days to finish it up and make an animated loop out of it and here we are...

I know it's nothing special but I hope some of you like it anyway.


Since I'm already at it, a little update on the side...
For everyone that's waiting for the Lucario animations and Dream Molder news I'm working on both of them right now...
I'm definitely focusing Dream Molder to get the next version out as soon as possible, but whenever I need a change of pace I will use the time to work on the NSFW Lucario animations.

I already gave a small update and preview on the Dream Molder work on Discord a few days ago, I'll upload over here too once I've got some more stuff to show though.

By the way, a few of you tried to reach out to me and it took me some time to reply so I'm sorry about that.
I'm completely focused on Dream Molder/Animation work right now and will probably be a bit inactive on all social media platforms until the update is out.
I'll definitely answer when I see it though!

But alright, that's about it and I will post the NSFW version next!
Sorry about the random post and I see you with the next DM update post!

Download Link for Animation Files:
FaunaAnimation - Project Files

As promised the missing project files for the whole Fauna animation!

With these you're going to be able to figure out how I build the whole thing, animate your own scenes with it, recolor and rework the model, etc, etc...

I need to add that the model file is quite huge this time around.
Not in file size but in things inside of it, options to choose, etc..
Which will make it quite confusing to figure out what goes where/does what.
So as always, If you need any help with anything just let me know and I'll try to change or explain whatever is needed!


I also was so free as to include the sound files that I recorded and used for the animation.
Inculding Felilumia's voice files!
While the quality of most sounds isn't the best because of the lacking hardware I'm quite sure that someone with a bit of experience in sound editing will be able to use them in their own projects.
So feel free to use them for whatever you want, no credits needed.

I will reupload more sound libraries over time to give increased quality options.
For now this has to do, I hope you find them useful anyway.

As a note on the side, I will look into reworking and properly animating the old Lucario christmas files next as it was something that a lot of people wanted.

I can't tell when I will release it yet since I'm also working a bit more on Dream Molder again, but be assured that the remaining Pokemon from the Poll will follow in order after that!


That's it for now and as always thanks for your support guys!
Have a nice week and I see you with my next update on DM!

Alright, there's going to be quite some files so I'm writing a quick guide on what is what as always!

Full Animation
The main files are the Full Animation ones which are a "fully voiced" ~3min long combination of all the NSFW scenes/loops made.

The high resolution versions are too big to be on patreon at the moment (1380p~400mb each) and will be up on mediafire instead.

Fauna - FullAnimation - Default
Fauna - FullAnimation - No Background Music
Fauna - FullAnimation - Shiny
Fauna - FullAnimation - Shiny - No Background Music

I will however add smaller (1034p~100mb) versions over here.

The animation was voiced by Felilumia and both of us worked with voices for the first time, which is sadly noticable in the quality.

I do hope that the scenes are still enjoyable though and we already made plans to rerecord all of the scenes once we have better equipment and software at hand.

For now it was a simple experiment that we hope will be to your liking.

(If you do enjoy the voice over feel free to give a shoutout to Feli as she's most likely going to read your comments and depending on the outcome, might work together more often in the future!)

Animation Scenes-Loops
The second part of the upload are the animation scenes/loops which are all the different scenes used in the full animation, but as single files and looped to be played endlessly.

All without sound which is also good for those of you that aren't a fan of the voice over.

While not included in the full animation I did add some different variations (gender/shiny) loops as a bonus. They're not perfect but I do hope you like them.

The different variations include:
Default Version (14 Scenes + Various Loops)
[NSFW] - Fauna Animation Loops - Default
[NSFW] - Fauna Animation Loops - Shiny

Female with animalistic privates Version (3 Loops)
[NSFW] - Fauna Animation Loops - FemaleVariation
[NSFW] - Fauna Animation Loops - FemaleVariation - Shiny

Male with animalistic privates Version (4 Loops)
[NSFW] - Fauna Animation Loops - MaleVariation
[NSFW] - Fauna Animation Loops - MaleVariation - Shiny



All of the files will take a moment to upload but you should already be able to reach them.
If messed up with any of the files which might happen with these many things to upload simply let me know and I fix them asap!

I will update the older posts to include the new wallpaper/wmv files next and project files to the whole thing will follow a couple days after.
The project files will also be the first charged post to begin support next month, so please keep that in mind if you still wanted to lower/leave support by then!

That's all for now if I didn't forget anything.
Let me know if you liked it and have fun all of you. :D

Happy Halloween everyone!

First off, it took me a while to write a "proper" update like this and I'm sorry about that.
I wasn't completely sure about how and when I would completely return yet which is why I held back with saying anything specific about it for a while.

To put everything that happened together: I've been sick, was a bit burned out and had some stuff going on in real life as well which made it hard to keep working on the game and animations as much as I wanted to - which is why I ended up pausing support over here.

While I did keep working on stuff in the background I can now officially say that I'm completely back at it and will turn support back on for everyone that wanted to help me out doing my stuff and/or give something back for it.
I'm thankful for everyone that sticked around even with all of this going on and I hope that I can make it up with everything that is still to come now that I'm back!

As already mentioned in posts before there's still some stuff that I have to deal with over the next couple months inlcuding me having to move, which is why I'm starting out slow with the updates and keep payment on "per month with upload" instead of monthy.

This way I can take my time working on everything and still get support from you guys whenever I have something new for you to upload!

I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet but the plan is the following..

What comes next

My plan is to go back to work Full Time on Dream Molder and, since I've got most of the stuff I need by now, work on the first proper scenes/sections of the game with colorated and animated charcters, proper backgrounds, music and some bonus stuff/additional content that I'm already excited to share.

Depending on how fast I am I will try to update every month with some kind of demo/content that will be the charged/payed for post of that month.
This way I can take my time making sure the update/content is good enough to be worth your support and can simply take a bit more time as you won't have to pay anything while I'm not posting.

I will still work on some animation stuff in the background that I wanted to do but couldn't finish yet, I will however focus on Dream Molder as to finally get the first proper versions out.

But alright, that's pretty much it for the update and all that's left is to upload the finished and voiced animation of Fauna the Braix!
So for everyone that didn't see the full version on discord yet I surely hope you've been looking forward to!

Thanks for staying around everyone and I hope you all have a fun Halloween!
-Dark

(Animations are gonna be up shortly after this!)

Here's some NSFW Versions of the Fauna Loop + Preview for the Full Animation!

Please keep in mind that while beeing a cut down, uncomplete version of the full release the preview will pretty much have most of the animation in it.
So in case that this might spoil the full release for you, you have been warned. x.x

As for the Loops itself the same stuff as for the SFW one applies.
Shiny and male gender versions (+some varied stuff like crownless, no tribal marks, etc) will be uploaded with full release.
If there's a need for any other resolution please let me know and I'll add it to the download asap.

For everyone watching the preview let me know if you like it, I'm looking forward to finally releasing it later this month!

I'm also planning on releasing a little short-story together with the full release, so for everyone that liked the last you can look forward to that aswell.


I probably wanted to post some more info that I forgot about right now, but I'll probably edit it in later as I'm pretty much done for the night.

Have a nice weekend everyone and again sorry for the long absence.
Let's hope the full animation later on will make up for it!

(Again as with the SFW Animation, mp4 has better quality and wmv was added for background use. Let me know if you need anything else!)

01.11.19 Edit: Added Shiny and male variants of the wallpaper loop

I know I took way too long for this and I'm annoyed about it myself, but finally, some news regarding the long overdue Braixen Animation!

First off, I finally finished the visual part of the animation with all of the scenes I wanted it to have.
The SFW version was already finished for a while now, however, I actually wanted to wait until the whole thing is done to upload it together with the NSFW one.

And allthough the NSFW animation is done I still want to add a few more things to it before uploading it for good.
I'm trying to add sound for once and a few details that I'm not happy with yet will be still be worked on as well.
It's been 2 months since I started working on this however and after a while of being sick and not uploading I felt like I had to at least do something, so here's the SFW Loop that goes along with the Full animation and can be used as animated wallpaper or as a teaser to the big animation later on.

I need to add that I'm not satisfied with how the animation turned out in the end and this might be because of how long I worked on it without seeing improvements and the change in perspective. (Used to draw these kind of animations in first person which seemed a lot more "personal")
However I'm hoping that you might like it and what's still to come!

For everyone that already knew/saw this loop because of the Low Resolution Teaser on Discord a while back I'm uploading NSFW versions of it right after, together with some more info and a preview of the full animation!

Since I'm slowly starting to find back into everything again I'm also planning on switching back to Support/Payment per Post(Upload/Post per month) for now, with the full NSFW Fauna Animation being the first of them later this month.

If I actually go through with it though will be depending on how much you like the preview for the full animation and, as always, I will let you guys know when I actually do the change and charge for a/the post.

The months after will be Dream Molder Updates as promised, but more to that after the full Fauna release!

Thanks for staying around over the long break and I hope you're just exciting to get back to Dream Molder as I am!

(Attachments are the same loop, mp4 with higher quality and wmv for background-use.)
(Please let me know if you want some other resolutions, I'll add them as needed!)

(Shiny Version will follow after Full release!)

Just a quick update to let you guys know that the animation is still in the works.

Health problems got me a bit worse than expected and work is still going slow, so I'm taking my time with all of this and will release whenever I think it's perfect and go right over into Dream Molder after.

Support will stay off for now but I will upload/update on here as usual.

It shouldn't take too much longer, I'll tease some stuff on the discord server over the days before I upload.

Sorry for letting you guys wait and thanks for sticking around as always.
Have a nice weekend everyone.

Animation is still in the works but here's the project files for the still image in case you want to take another look at how I made the image itself.

The resolution for this one is a bit higher than usual and I ended up having a huge project folder with tons of files (11Gb for all variants together)
However, I sorted everything and uploaded 3 files with about 1Gb that will definitely show you how I made the picture or make it easy for you to copy/change stuff.

The files are a sightly all over the place again, but as always if you need help just message me and I'll explain anything you need to know!
Fauna SFW Project Files.zip ~330 Mb // Includes .sai project file for the SFW Version
Fauna NSFW Project Files+Sketches.zip ~840 Mb // Includes the 2 .sai project files for the NSFW Version and some sketches for unused poses and extras like xray that were planned but not released because of various reasons.

The sketches also include some small examples for the upcoming changes to the animation. (Going to work in some more details.)
I'm also planning/hoping to add sounds, which will all be included in the project files of the animation later on.
So let's look forward to those and hope that it all works out as I planned.

Have fun with the files!

Edit: Made a quick gallery for everyone that wants to see the few sketches included in the NSFW-zip but not download ~1Gb files for it.
Unused NSFW Sketch Gallery
Nothing special, but thought it would be nice to add some various stuff for you guys.

Without much to add, here's the NSFW Variants of Fauna that will end up as animated loops.

Some parts of the picture like the male partners body will still be updated with the anmation, do let me know if there's something you would like to see/have changed though as I'm still able to work on it before releasing the animations at the end of the month.

I'm planning on some bonus/extra stuff to include with the animation that I can't talk about yet. This might make it take a bit longer to work on it, but if it works out it will definitely be worth the wait.
Here's a small list of all the versions/variants included in the downloads:

NSFW-Human-Female.zip
-All NSFW Variants, female with human like features
-In Default, Shiny and Crownless
NSFW-Human2-Female.zip
-All NSFW Variants, female with human like features and chest
-In Default, Shiny and Crownless
NSFW-Animal-Female.zip
-All NSFW Variants, female with animal like features
-In Default, Shiny and Crownless
NSFW-Animal-Male.zip
-All NSFW Variants, male with animal like features
-In Default, Shiny and Crownless

Most of these were probably unnecessary and I will try to reduce different versions in the future to concentrate on the main picture more.
If you would still like to have the choice between the animal/human features and genders just let me know though.


The project files will follow next, will take a few days this time around since they're too big for uploading and will need some cleanup before/edits to be of anyones use.

As always feel free to suggest, ask or give feedback on anything you like.
I'll try to reply as soon as I see it.

(And just in case, this is not a charged post and payment is still paused, so feel free to download and check out everything while I'm still getting back on my feet to properly upload stuff agian)

Since I'm taking a break from DM over the month I'm taking the time to work on the last poll winner Braixen instead.

I was a bit unsure if people voting for Braixen wanted something Fia related or not, but since we've already got enough art for Fia coming in through Dream Molder I went for something different instead.

So here's a little preview to what's coming and for everyone that's interested I've also uploaded a little short-story/background that I had in mind while creating the picture:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/p/fauna-braixen.html

As usual there's going to be a couple different variations all put together in their responding zip files.

SFW Versions:

Fauna the Braix - SFW.zip
-includes default image with and without crown, both in standart colors and shiny
Fauna the Braix - AnthroSFW.zip
-includes anthro versions of the above, all with chest but no visible NSFW parts.


Work is still going a bit slower this month while I'm trying to get some things in order but I hope you're already looking forward for the animated version of this one in a few weeks.
I'm gonna do my best to make it worth the wait.

I hope to see you then and have a nice weekend everyone!
(NSFW Versions will follow shortly after)

I've been pushing this post back for a couple days now but I guess I have to post it at some point.
Because of a few situations going on in my life I didn't quite have the time and/or means to work on the H-Sketch Demo as I planned to, which made me end up releasing shorter H-Scenes instead of the full Demo.
4 H-Scenes have been finished and uploaded, another 5 need to be done with 2 1/2 still to be drawn.
A big problem with why progress got slower was because of me being burned out from doing nothing but working on DM for a while now, the other one being my health.

For the past week now the progress almost came to a complete hold, making me take a step back and rethink how I'm going forward whith all of this while making everyone happy.


And since the quality of what I made only got worse for a while now I decided to instead of finishing the hSketch Demo, take a break from DM to do some random art and animations like it was actually planned for the month of august.

Hopefully I will then return healthy and reinvigorated the month after to keep working on DM in a proper manner and get out the quality I want the game to have!
Because of this I'm actually glad that I paused the support on patreon and will keep it paused until I think that I'm back to the point that I wanted to be.


If you think that pausing monthly support isn't needed or just really wanted to throw money at me, just know that It's already enough support to stay aound and keep following what I'm doing.
I will keep posting stuff that I get done in the meantime and hope to make up for the long silence with some awesome animations/art.

Now for the last part:
Next month when I'm going to return to work on DM I will have to decide if I'm going to finish the H-Sketch Demo or skip it to go straight to coloring and modeling for the first "actual" demo of the game.

I think part of why I got burned out was because I felt like I didn't get anywhere working on those sketches and scenes for so long and I would probably work a lot faster if I started working on the actual thing.
However, I would also understand if people wanted to have the H-Scenes finished so they could play the full Sketch Demo without the awkward missing scenes inbetween.

That's why I'm putting out a poll to let you decide what you want to see once I'm back to DM.
I'm sorry for making anyone that was looking ahead to the h-scenes wait and I hope that you will stay around for future updates either way.

Have a nice week everyone,
-Dark

Small 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!
-Dark

Hey everyone, it's been a while since my last update.

I hope you've been all doing well!
I've been working on the next update for the last couple weeks and wanted to give a small insight on how far I've gotten since I wasn't able to release the next demo as early as I wanted it to.

Now this should not be a problem since I'm still in line with the roadmap but it's been over a month already and I didn't want to go for too long without an update either.

While the demo itself is slowly coming along it's hard to show specific progress since work done in the last couple weeks has been all over the place, from writing, scripting and bugfixing to sketching and animation tests.

If you're following my blog you probably already know about that since I've been updating progress and posting some sketches/screenshots every now and then.
I'll leave a link to it in case you're interested in a more detailed progress and want to see some of the stuff that is coming up!
Progress Update 1
Progress Update 2

These two posts should tell you everything you need to know about the upcoming v0.2/NSFW update for Dream Molder and I'll get right along to the next point:


I actually wanted to post this a lot earlier already but since someone was nice enough to help me out we now have a Discord aswell.
If you ever wanted to have a place to talk about the game, any of the upcoming animations or just want to hang out with people that have similear interests it might be worth taking a look at it.
It's still somewhat chaotic and all over the place but I will work on it as time goes on.

I'm also there, posting sketches and emotes every now and then.
So if you have any concerns, suggestions or simply want to come into contact with me feel free to join and let me know. Click here to join

You can also connect your patron and discord accounts to automatically gain Supporter/ VIP role once you enter the server.
(People that were already supporting me might need to reenter their support tier for their role to show up.)


Lastly, I've decided to deactivate monthly support/payment for August and coming.
This is not because I'm expecting to take longer with releases, but because I'm unhappy with my recent progress in general.
I will turn support back on when I think that I've caught up and progress has improved again, but September earliest. I'll let you know when it's back on!

I'm hoping on releasing DM v0.2 on 15th of July but will give a small update on a blog if it takes a bit longer.

Since I've pretty much already said everything else about the upcoming update on the blog that's pretty much it already.
As always thank you for your support so far and I hope you all have a nice start into the week!
I'll see you with the next update!
-Dark

Alright, a bit later than I wanted it to but still in on time with the roadmap.

The new release doesn't add much gamplaywise, but contains all of the character/clothing and variation sketches that the last release was missing. (about 220 smaller sketches)

This release marks a big step towards the final version as everything missing now are the dialogues for the h-scenes and CG-Sketches(which are probably the biggest thing of the game)

I want to say some more stuff about what's next but for everyone that was waiting for the full "Char Sketch" Demo, here's a list of Changes and Download Links first:

Changelist and Summary
Direct Download (Win32)(Mediafire)(544mb .zip)


The next demo/update will be the NSFW update including all the h-scenes and animation sketches, and will be the next major step towards final/full version.

Just as with this update two weeks ago, I will showcase my work/progress on the h-animations over the next few weeks and show some of the sketches and animation tests with additional info how I work on them/they could end up looking.

Once the NSFW update is out I will start coloring/animating in preparation for release of the first actual part of the game.

I'm actually already really excited for coloring and animating, so I hope to release the NSFW Update as fast as I can. (Even though I would have tried to do that anyway)
I hope some of you are just as excited!

I've been up to get this out for a while now and probably forgot to talk about a lot of stuff, so if you have any questions or feedback just let me know and I'll answer/update asp!



Now for something different, a small reminder/note to all my Patrons...

While I greatly appreciate your support and it definitely helps me out, I think that it's more important that nobody here feels like he's giving too much for what I can do/give back.
I'm unsure of how quick/fast other people work since I'm not a professional, but I do feel like I need a lot of time to push out updates.

Now that's why I posted the roadmap so everyone knows what he's in for, but I still want to make sure that nobody regrets his support.
Simply following, sharing or giving feedback also helps out greatly and you can always swap back to a higher tier or become patron again once I'm uploading more content.
The NSFW Tier was mostly meant to support the bi-monthly animations, so don't feel bad for lowering the pledge until (or even after) new NSFW content or paid posts are back.

I'm pretty sure I don't even need to tell this to anybody here, but want to double check just in case.

Thats pretty much it for now and if you have any questions/suggestions/requests just let me know.
I will write a quick update and post links to my progress on the animations once I'm ready, but hopefully in about 2 weeks!

Until then,
-Dark.

Since feedback on switching to monthly charge instead of per post was positive so far I wanted to give a little heads-up that this is what I'm going to do for now.

This change should not be active until the end of next month, but for everyone who pledged more since I was only posting every other month please make sure to correct your pledge to the one you want just in case.
There is a lot of people who only wanted to donate once and will have to wait a month longer because of that as well, sorry about that.


This change will be active until the end of the year at which my roadmap ends and I will either post a new one, change to doing monthly animations or take a break from patreon to finish whatever I didn't get done in time. (Still posting here of course, just not doing any charges/paid post)

I apologize to everyone that was supporting me for the random bi-monthly animations, (There's still some stuff coming up like a random Braixen one, a full version of the Lucario and smaller random stuff inbetween) but for now I will fully concentrate on Dream Molder/the Roadmap and hope that this is what most of you want as well.

If you're one of the people that are interested in Dream Molder, I did a small info dump with some sketches, spoilers and background information of what I did the past days over here:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/2019/04/small-progress-update-on-char-demo-011.html

Thank you to everyone that stayed with me until now and I hope to do some more stuff that you like in the future..
Have a nice week everyone!

Alright, this is a bit later than I wanted it to be but due to me beeing quite busy these last few days I've barely had the time to give updates/answers on here.

First off, the new Dream Molder Demo is now up.
https://indarkwaters.com/games/dream-molder.html

While it does have a lot of new stuff, it's still far from done and the primary reason for anyone to play it would be all the main story paths, endings and decisions that were planned to be in the full game and some character sketches+music in all "normal scenes" to make reading through them easier.
Some of the character sketches are put together quite crudely or still missing entirely. They're really just ment to make visualizing of the final version easier and as a placeholder to get swapped out with the colored/animated versions later on.

Again, there are no hentai scenes yet, but those are in work for the next update after finishing the missing character sketches and therefor the Character Sketch Demo.

Roadmap and future of this Patreon
I actually made something similear to a roadmap to show what I'm working on and in which order over the next couple months.
https://indarkwaters.com/info.html

Showing this to you I'm also trying to gather some feedback on the matter.
While the release dates are nothing but guesses at this point, I can be pretty sure that the last release on the map (Dream Molder Part 1) won't be out before the estimated time.

My question to you now is if that's something worth waiting for.


Depending on the feedback to this I would like to switch the patreon back to monthly support (instead of charged posts) and completely focus on Dream Molder to finally get some "real", visible progress.

This would also mean however that I'm not going to post anything besides what's on the roadmap for a while. (Except for the unlikely case of getting updates out earlier and having free time to work on something else)


If you however think that it wouldn't be worth waiting for so long just to get the first part of the game, it would probably be smarter to keep Dream Molder in the background, do monthly animations and side projects instead.
This way I work on Dream Molder in small steps at a time and go for a release in the long run.

So if you have any feedback or ideas to this please let me know your thoughts on the matter.

This will probably decide in which direction this Patreon is going to go in the future and for everyone that isn't happy about the decision made in the end and wants to leave I'm thankful for your interest and support so far and I hope to see you around again at some point.

Hey everyone, just a small update to progress of the demo and some general info.

The demo is coming together nicely and even though there is still a few days left before the vote ends, there is quite some things left that need to be done before I can release it in the state I wanted it to.

Rushing the last few sketches and changes so I could bug-test and release in time would only lower quality in the long run though.
I've did a lot of rushed stuff already and I think I should start taking it a bit slower and try to focus working on the things I have so far.

So instead of finishing the last few sketches and scenes,
I'll start bug-tests and problem-fixing now to make everything playable until the vote ends.

That means the demo won't be a 100% complete with the first upload, but I will work on those last few things that need to be done right after and update in time.


I'm also planning on creating a new site where I'm going to list every update + changelog to make it easier to find and download the latest version or simply check when it's worth playing/testing the next one.
I really want to put some more order and clarity into this so it's easier for you guys to give me feedback and for me to keep track of everything.

That's all for the demo so far and I hope you will like this whole website/more updates and clarity change.


I'm also going to post something like a roadmap later this month. (After uploading the demo and having poll results/even though those are probably pretty much set)
Just giving some information on what things will be added to the demo next, what's the next random animation and so on..

Alright, this was more text than it should have been..
Just let me know if you've got any questions/concerns!

Alright, last poll gave me some insight on what I could do for the next and I will change things up a bit this time around.

If you don't like reading: Don't feel bad and go for the vote.
Way to much text again and the only real "important" thing is the info about the last 3 vote options, which you only need if you want to vote for one.
So for everyone not reading, have a nice weekend and fun voting. :D

Edit: So, for some reason Sneasel got duplicated but I can't remove the second one it seems. Votes on both of them will count and I will simply remove double votes from the same person when establishing the poll winner at the end.
Only voting for the one that already has votes would make it easier though. xD

A idea for this is working off the highest votet Pokemon (top 3?) and doing another vote for which one of them to animate after that .
I don't know how I'll exactly do it in the end, but we'll see when the time comes.

That also means that I'm not going to add any new Pokemon to the list for a while since I want to work all of them off for now. I'll still added some of the Pokemon that got asked for but definitely not all since the list is big enough as it is right now..
Still tell me if you would like to see something that isn't in the list though, I could always have the urge to suddenly draw it. xD

The Pokemon from last poll will get additional points at the end of the vote, so if you wanted something from last time chances are higher for it to get picked this time around.
You're also free to vote as many things as you want this time around, but depending on how well that goes it might be a one time thing.
Points from last time that will get added at the end of the vote:
Braixen: 14
Lopunny: 10
Zeraora: 8
Gardevoir: 6
Mienshao: 5

Lastly some explanation for the last 3 choices:

Lucario Animation Loops:
Since this seemed to be something you would like I'm adding the option to make animation loops from the unfinished Holiday Lucario H-Animations.
Since they're already worked on I would probably also have time to do some of the other Pokemonafter that . Would be boring to have nothing new after all.

Remake Dream Molder Demo:
The thing I get asked the most is the Dream Molder Demo for *insert random OS*or in *insert random language* .
My old hard-/software limitations didn't make this possible at the time...
BUT, I would be able to remake the Demo with the new engine which should enable me to convert it to different OS than before. (Android, IOS, Mac and so on...)
Remaking the Dream Molder Demo would also mean I could work and use the new characters and backgrounds that I'm going to use in the full version.

This would also promote progress for the full version since I'm able to finish the grafics and they would be ready to use later on.
Lastly I could upload animation loops of all the H-Scenes of the demo to Patreon since I would need to rework them for the new engine anyway.

So all in all this would give you high quality animation loops, a replayable demo and progress on the full game.

Keep focus on Dream Molder:
I plannend on doing these Polls and random animations to get my name out more, have some change from the repetitive work, as practice and to enable you to support me since I switched to per post instead of monthly payment.

However, the time I have to work on animations is still limited and I'm still taking a long time to draw some of the stuff, so doing animations would also mean less progress on Dream Molder...

Voting for Dream Molder focus would show me that you're supporting the game at the moment though and I could simply keep working on the game and upload a updated Character Sketch Demo as charged post instead of animation/artwork.
(The updated version would probably add the written h-scenes+h-sketches, some new backgrounds I'm putting together atm, additional background sounds and bugfixes.)

I would still work on the random artworks when I need a break from Dream Molder inbetween, but main focus would be definitely updating the demo.

Afterword:
I really need to learn how to keep things short. :>

Like always let me know if you have a question or think we could do something different.
I will give this poll a bit more time than the last to give me some extra time for the character sketch demo release.
Got somewhat stuck and had hardware problems again...
It should be fixed for now though and there's not "too" much to be done anymore.

But that's pretty much it for now!
Have a nice weekend everyone and I'll let you know if anything changes!

Just a small note that shiny versions have been added to the posts.
I might have made mistakes while naming or uploading since there were a lot of files, so if you have any problems just let me know and I'll fix it right away!

Also a little plan/reminder on what I'm going to do this month..
There will be no charged posts in march, instead:

- I will put main focus to working on Dream Molder (Braixen Visual Novel) and hopefully getting the Character Sketch Demo ready to upload for you guys at the end of the month.
- Around halfway through the month I will post another poll for you guys to decide what kind of art/animation you want to see next.
- This will somewhat depend on how much progress I'm making on dream molder, but I will let you know if anything changes.

The poll will keep the votes from last time but I will also add some additional stuff that people were asking for.

So if you have any request or suggestion you can also just leave it here and I'll add it to the list!

And for the ones of you that know how to use Live2D the project files of the Zoroark Animation itself!

The files itself consist of 2 Parts, the .Sai file that I used to create the different parts for the model and the .zip that contains all the animation relevant files:

-The Parts used by the software (ZoroarkParts.psd)
-The Live2D model made of these parts (ZoroarkModel.cmo3)
-The animations/scenes made using said model ( ZoroarkAnimations.can3 )

In case you use/have Live2d and need any help understanding or editing anything at the model just let me know and help where I can.
You can pretty much do whatever you want with it.
Make your own animations, edit, reupload it.. It's up to you.

Also, if you don't have Live2d yourself I'm also offering to swap the model out and convert it to animated .mp4 versions for you.
Just send me a link with your edited ZoroarkParts.psd or .sai and I'll upload it private or add it to the other versions over here.

As always, if you have any other questions let me know.
I'll add the shiny ZoroarkParts to the attachments as well when they're done !

Thanks for your support. <3

All the different uncensored variations of the Zoroark animation!
Just as with the censored version I will add the shiny variants later on and notify everyone when it happened.

I will put all of the variations and different versions into .zip files this time around.
I usually upload everything in loose files but this is probably just a confusing and a hassle for everyone.
This does make the downloads/files a little somewhat bigger though, so just let me know if I should upload the loose files after all.

Here's a "small" preview for with of the scenes put together into a single gif: (HIGHLY NSFW)

All the scenes that are used in this will be it's own files, as a loops and without the camera movement.

However, I will add the preview version as a higher quality mp4 to the downloads as well.
In case you like the pov kind of camera.

Versions:
ZoroarkBreedingLoops - Contains the different breeding scene animations as loop and with Xray variations

ZoroarkBreedingLoops-Tail - Same as above, but all variants with tail

Teasing-Female - Contains the Teasing Zoroark Animation, uncensored and as female variant (With and without tail)

Teasing-Male - Same as above, but as male variant (Not the best but maybe someone wants/likes it anyway)

It might take a moment to upload everything.
Shiny versions will be added later on as own zip files.

Oof, finally done.
Here's the final version of the Teasing Zoroark animation + download, and with it the charged post for the month.

The shiny version is actually still in work and should be added to the post around tomorrow.
I didn't want to wait too long before posting a charged post though since it's already late enough into the month and I wanted to give people the chance to still opt out or change/lower their pledge if they needed to.

So keep in mind to do that before patreon charges.

Like last time, there won't be a charged post next month but instead I hope to release the character-sketch demo for dream molder.
I can however post another poll for you to vote for the month after if you liked the outcome of this one.

Now for the animation itself...

There's two variants, the Teasing-Genderless which is the Version in the video and as extra the sleeping version.

There's not much movement going on in that one but I though it was cute.
I actually wanted to make something like a animated wallpaper for android out of that one(Which I'm still going to look into), but I would need to set up the workspace and emulator for that first which I didn't have the time for yet.

Both versions also have the tail variant if you liked that one.

If you have any wishes or think something could have looked better just let me know and I take a look at what I can do!

Uncensored versions will come next!

Just a little preview for you guys so you know that I'm actually doing something.

I can't really show the progress on Dream Molder since it's all text/script related, but I can show you how far I am with the Zoroark animation!

It's not quite done yet and there's still some changes and details that need fixing.
The model itself however is pretty much working and you can already do stuff and see that it's going somewhere, so that's nice I guess.

I actually wanted to had it done by yesterday but it was way harder to work on this than I expected it to be..
I put way too many hours into this for what came out, but I hope you like it anyway.

I'm gonna try finishing and uploading this over the next few days so I can concentrate on getting the Character-Sketch Demo of Dream Molder ready for release next month aswell.

So look ahead for both!
(The uncensored animations are also in work btw, if you were interested...)

I really need to start using multiple files for the different variations and versions to make things more transparent.

This file is still going to be a little all over the place, but you can put together the different variations by turning on or off layers to your liking.

This time I only used Paint Tool Sai, so there's only .sai files today.
Sadly the files itself are quite big, too big to upload them on patreon actually which is why I had to upload them on another side for now.
(Uploading might take some time, in case you try to download shortly after posting this)

Zoroark.sai ~500Mb // Main File with the picture itself and all effects
Zorark-shiny.sai ~540Mb // Same as Main File, but color changed to shiny variant
X-Ray1.sai ~210Mb // "X-Ray" View that is used in the Breeding Version
X-Ray2.sai ~220Mb // "X-Ray" View that is used in the Breeding2 Version

It's not the perfect solution, but the only other option for now would have been to lower the resolution of the project.
If the files are too big for you I can still upload lower resolution files as attachments over here, just let me know.

As addition to the project files I thought of adding some random insight how I started Zoroark and what was actually planned.

My first idea was to draw a short comic in which Zoroark get's closer to it's Trainer by using it's Illusion ability to transform into his girlfriend.

While I did a lot of sketches for the comic I didn't like how the sketches came out in the end, which is why we only have one of the scenes instead of the whole thing.

Technically I wanted to upload and show the sketches, but they really weren't good enough to show them and I didn't want to create any hype about a comic without beeing sure if I can finish it.

However, here's some of the other sketches that I was thinking of using instead of the one we have right now:

None of them really had the quality I wanted.
They all had their problems and would have gone through quite some changes before coloring, but maybe I'll rework them properly to color/animate them in the future if you like.

I also made some cheap animation tests with all of them, but those are probably not worth sharing.

Like always just let me know if you have questions or need help with anything.

Tried to put in some more "action" into the NSFW Version this time around, just as a warning/reminder that this is NSFW.

Unlike with Lucario where I was practicing how to draw different variants I tried to focus on one version and bring in some more "action" instead since this pose didn't leave much room for different variations.

I also experimented with x-ray/inside view since I was thinking of adding something along the line to Dream Molder as toggleable option.
If you don't like that one I'm also going to add versions without it to the attachments.

While the the idle animation of the SFW version has priority I would also take a look into creating an animated loop out of this NSFW one.

So just let me know what you think about a loop/animation and just as with the SFW version let me know if you have any wishes or suggestion for changes.


Btw, even though I didn't want to make variants I still tried making a male version which probably isn't worth uploading since you mostly can't see anything because of the pose in itself. I'm still going to upload it though, maybe someone is happy about it. :>

Versions:

+Shiny Versions

(Realized that this are a lot of loose files and added a Zoroark NSFW.zip containing all versions, so it's easier to download all at once.)

Edit:
-Added Zorua NSFW.zip with NSFW versions of female Zorua

It took me a bit, but as chosen by vote here's my attempt at Zoroark.

I made a lot of sketches and variations that I didn't really like because they either didn't look enough like Zoroark or simply too much like the original design...

In the end I decided to stick with this pose/design which doesn't look as cute as Lucario and more teasing instead.
But I think it fits Zoroark and I can give it a try to animate a cute idle pose like with Lucario next.

Let's hear your opinion on it first though, maybe you don't like it and I rather spend time on something else.

Just as with Lucario I made a shiny and non-shiny version.
I also had the idea of making a "Zorua" version where a Zorua transformed into Zoroark, only recognizable because it kept it's tail.
Then I remembered that it only kept it's tail when it transformes into humans.

I made it anway because I thought it looks cute. :3

I hope you like it and even though it didn't turn out the exact way I wanted it too I look forward on working on the animation.
The uncensored versions and project files will be uploaded next!

Please let me know if there's something you think would have looked better, I might be able to change small things and reupload extra versions.
(I'll even upload a recolor for the first one to comment a new color combination :P)

Versions:

(Edit: Added a Zorark SFW.zip so it's easier to download all of the versions at once and have them in one place.)

Hey everyone!

Just a small summary of what I worked on over January and plans for the February Poll winner!

I did some mixed work on Dream Molder over the month and added a lot of new placeholders, character sketches, scripts and made small changes to some of the story.

So far I finished about 53% of the Character-Sketch Demo, which would have been a little higher if I didn't get sick at the end of the month what didn't exactly favor progression.
But that pretty much means that even though I got sick I finished around half of the demo in one month and it should only take another month to finish the rest of it.

I will still need to do some updates to sketches and bugtests once I'm done with the scripting, but it at least shows that the Character-Sketch Demo release isn't too far off.


For this month however I will start with some art of the February Poll Winner which is Zoroark.

The first few days everyone kind of started voting for Braixen and I honestly thought that's going to be me now, drawing Braixen till the rest of my days. xD
I actually still have some discarded ideas from back when I was still thinking about what kind of Visual Novel I want to make for practice..
If Zoroark didn't shoot to the top like it did you would have probably seen something about those..

But yeah, since Zoroark is the winner I already have a vague idea of what I want to do with it.. I hope you will like the idea!
Just like the Lucario one I might overestimate the time I have at hand to do it, but I'll see how far I get.


If you have any wishes for Zoroark just let me know, I will use the first few days for sketching and trying around anyways so might as well add something you like!

Alright, that's pretty much it.
Btw... Nobody has to feel bad about it's Pokémon not winning the Poll since I will add them to the next Poll and your last votes will be added on top that ones outcome aswell!

Oh, a last note...
I thought about sharing the sketches over here before I colorate or animate anything, so let me know if that's something you would want to see.

Alright, just a little reminder/info about this poll.

I'm not going to charge for any posts this month since I'm working on Dream Molder.
Instead I'm putting this poll up for you to vote the Pokémon you want to see drawn next month.

I'm not sure yet how well this will work out, since I normally don't draw on demand like that.
But depending on how it works out I might do this kind of stuff more often. We'll see...

As for if it's going to be animated, we will have to see as well.
It completely depend on what I'm going to draw.
However, if I'm not going to animate it I will definitely draw multiple pictures, so make sure to actually vote for the Pokémon you want, I might draw them in the order they win in.


That's pretty much it.
Just one last thing...

I did add Braixen but when it wins I will have to change it up/draw it different from what you would expect in Dream Molder or from Fia.
I added it to the list since I don't mind drawing additional Braixen stuff as it's still my favorite, but don't want to get Dream Molder mixed into it.

I'm actually already looking forward to drawing some of these and hope you're just as excited for the result. :D

Like always feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer as soon as I see them.
Have a nice week everyone and I hope to see you then! :>

Since I've made a Live2D Model for Lucario I have the ability to share this one with you as well.

If you know how to work with/use Live2d you would be able to make your own animations with the model or use it for whatever.

Since most people probably don't have the software I will script a small engine for you to modify and use the model later on aswell.

For now however it's just the model itself.

The model was build in Cubism 3.3, but exportet into both (3.0 and 2.1) versions.
The model in itself is a bit messy since I'm still figuring stuff out.
But for everyone that is able to use it, have fun! :D

Planned for the NSFW version of the lucario was something like a short, interactive flash game where you can turn on/off different features like breasts/chest fluff and swap gender while stimulating Lucario to move on to the next animation.

However, it seems like that plan was still a bit too much for me to realize in a month.
I do have a few animations, but they didn't have the quality I would have liked them to have for a proper high resolution upload/release.

Here's a extract if you're interested in what the animations vaguely looked like..

I'll add a slightly(!) longer version as a download if you still want to keep it.
I can also put together a rough version of the interactive "game" I planned in the future if you like, but it would keep the quality of the gif.

Until then I will upload uncensored versions of the animated wallpaper instead.
I wont be able to upload all of them at once since the rendering/converting of the videos/animations pretty much kills my computer, but I will upload the ones I have right now and will add the different variations one at a time over the days.

Let me know if there's anything you would like to be uploaded/changed or added.
I'm mostly working on Dream Molder this month but I'll be happy to help out where I can.

Attachments:
DemoVideo // Demo Animations
DemoVideo-MaleOnMale-Animations // some Demo Animations with male Lucario

Anthro // Animated Wallpaper Anthro Version without Breast
AnthroWithBreasts // Animated Wallpaper Anthro Version
Male-Version1 // Animated Wallpaper with male Lucario

I already wanted to have this uploaded a few days ago but because of how much I had to do it kind of got pushed back until now...

There's way too many versions and I definitely do less of them with the next picture/animation I do.

Because of the many variations of this picture I wasn't able to finish what I actually wanted to do with it and will have to continue working on it later on.
However, this month I will mostly work on Dream Molder (Braixen Visual Novel), so I'll put Lucario aside for now.

I'll still take time to look over mistakes and errors in this animation if you find some.
There might be a lot of simple or obvious things that I just didn't see because of how busy I was.

All attachments are 1920x1080 and WMV for wallpaper use with different tools like VLC Player.
If you want/need a different file type or resolution just let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Versions:

There's still some posts coming for the other tiers and I'll put a poll up later this month where you can vote for the next Pokemon to draw/animate like this.
Possible Pokemon right now are Zoroark, Mienshao and Gardevoir.

So if you have any Pokemon (or maybe even something completely different) you want to see just let me know in time!

By the way, I hope you all had a nice start into the new year, let's hope I'll get some stuff done in this one!

I just now learned that Patreon doesn't let me charge per Tier, and even though I can make posts visible to only certain tiers they can never be charged for.

Meaning I cannot charge for the content I wanted to without enabling NSFW content to SFW tier.

Since I still want the option to support the game without need to see the nsfw content I will charge for the SFW Version/pictures instead that are visible to everyone, keeping the NSFW and Project files hidden and as a reward for the higher tiers only.

So long story short, Support Tier will be charged as well.
I think it's sad that I'm not able to do it separately like I plannedsince I like having everything in one place...

But I guess there's always the option to leave and just come back here for the download once game related stuff is up.
I'll keep you guys updated over on my blog as well.

So for everyone that has to leave, thanks for your support until now and I hope to see you around!

For everyone interested in how I put the whole thing together here's the project files of the Lucario picture.

There's quite the chaos with layers going on since I made all the variations in the same file.
If you would like me to make different files for the different versions just let me know and I'll add them to the download. :>

And feel free to ask any questions if you need help figuring anything out.

Software used:
Paint Tool Sai - For Outlines and coloration (.sai)
Gimp - For aftereffects and putting everything together (.xcf)

Here are the uncensored versions everyone!
Higher resolution and variations are down in the attachments!

There's a lot of variations and I could have mixed them up or done even more out of them, but I think that would have been a bit overboard?
For now I just want to see which ones you would like most and where I still need to change stuff. I'm still trying around myself after all.

So just let me know when you think one of the versions needs a change or you would really like a recolor of something.

I'm going to take a look into animating the picture next, let's see how fast I can work something out...

Variations:
Anthro - Humanlike features
Anthro no breasts - Only Humanlike sex, no breasts
Male - Genderswap, male Lucario
Anatomically - Animallike features/sex
Anatomically no breasts - Only animallike sex, no breasts

Hey everyone!

So... This might be a little sudden if you're not one of the few people that follow my blog, but here is some random Lucario art, fitting for the coming holidays.

The reason behind this post is pretty much that I was hoping to release the Dream Molder sketch-demo before end of the year, but realised I won't be able to make it until then.

I wanted to at least have something to upload for holidays however, and that's how we ended up with this.

There's a lot of different versions, mostly NSFW, multiple genders and so on...
I'm even thinking about making an animated version with the person who opened the present at some point, but that depends on the time I have since I'm still working on Dream Molder at the same time.


Since I didn't know if all of you guys actually wanted to see the NSFW pictures I also took the chance to update the patreon and add a few new tiers.

Meaning if you don't care about the NSFW stuff and are only here for the Games/Demos, just ignore the new Tiers and you can still download/see those just fine.

For everyone else, the NSFW Versions and project files will follow in the next few days, so feel free to swap Tiers however you like!

#########################################################

As a little side note/update for Dream Molder:

I'm still working on scripting all the scenes properly to make a first playable sketch-demo, but because of the time I have at the moment it will still take a couple more weeks before I can upload it. Just know that I'm still working on getting it out.

Like always you can see more detailed progress on my blog.

If you like the idea of some random art like this every month just let me know and I'll put some of the time I usually take for Dream Molder into this.

Thanks for staying around this long btw. I know I'm slow when it comes to updates and all...
So thanks for your support and have a nice weekend everyone!

Hey everyone, like always, I took my time since the last update/post...

Writing the dialogues took me way too long, and I spend way more time on them as I initially planned on...

However, since my last post I finally finished all of them, straightened some of them and the story out, wrote some extra scenes AND already started drawing a lot of the sketches that I need.

While I'm not nearly done drawing all of them, I just started making a demo out of replacement grafics and unfinished sketches.

This isn't going to be the final product of course, but it's definitely the first step for a public demo, and I would like to give out some of these "sketch demos" to you guys for proof reading and collecting feedback on what you think is good or like to have changed/added in later versions.


Not only that, but after releasing this sketch demo I will start adding new stuff to it over time and upload the newer versions at the end of each month.

That's at least what I'm planning/hoping on doing and I hope some of you guys actually look forward to it.

I'm not sure yet if the first demo I'm giving out should be given out to everyone, since knowing the whole story might ruin the experience for later versions.
But I will definitely give it out to every patron that asks for it.

Like always,
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/2018/09/change-of-plan.html
has some additional information to the whole process and a screenshot to see what this demo would roughly look like.

I'm also sorry for letting you guys wait all this time, but I'm doing what I can to get the demo out asap.
Gonna give another update once it happens.

Have a nice week everyone, and thanks for your interest and support. :>

Hey everyone, it's been a while.
First off, thank you to all of you guys for the support.
I've got enough together to pay for my animating software for a few months and I can also keep the website up that offers the online version of the game.

Because of that, I wanted to give a little heads up that I'm going to switch this patreon from "pay monthly" to "pay per creation" in a few days.
This way you can still show your support by beeing a patron without actually needing to pay anything.
Still need to take a look into how it's done, but hope that everything works out as planned.


If you're wondering how Dream Molder comes along, I at least made some progress.
I finished writing the story, scripts and a lot of the dialogues, but I'm still straightening things out. (Rewriting, adding and removing parts that dont fit and so on...)
After finishing the story scripts alltogether it took me around 2 weeks to get about 45% of the dialogues done.
So I would guess it's another 2-3 weeks until I've got the rest of them and can start drawing and putting it together into a demo for now.
There's not a lot of people taking a look onto the site, but I've put up a progression bar that I update almost daily over here:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.de/

Once I'm done with the writing the drawing/sketching should go a lot faster again.
Can't promise anything though since I have a lot of change coming up in real life.
If everything works out I have more time than before though, starting next month.

A question I have for you guys now is if you would like to have the demo once it's done.
I thought about uploading it but wasn't sure since it would be mostly still pictures and sketches to the text, and that would probably spoil the full version.

Something else that I thought about were some random H-Animations to upload here, that dont have anything to do with the game.
I did some sketches, but always felt bad for doing something else than Dream Molder so I didn't really get to animate anything.
I guess I need to stop worrying about this stuff and just do it.

Both, the demo and animations would be free posts of course.
I'm not going to upload any paid posts since I've got enough support from you guys.
Should I decide to swap back to monthly at any point in the future I will give you a heads up beforehand, like this one right now.
That wont happen until I at least finished the game though.

I also finished writing another short story for a game that I'm going to work on once Dream Molder is done.
That one is ready to be colored and animated, so it wouldn't take as long either.

But I guess that's all news for now...
I'm always bad at keeping it short, so most of you probably don't even get to this point.
Sorry for the long silence from me and I hope to see you guys around when I finally upload some more stuff.

I really wish I could do this faster...
Have a nice week everyone.

Hey everyone, just giving a little Update here!

The last few weeks were quite busy for me and I didnt get much work done.
Partially because I still have my trouble with writing such a large story myself.
Not having much time because of irl work didn't help much either and I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to turn the payment on again, at least for now.

After making sure that the payment pause was still active last month I realized that it went back to the normal setting today and immediately gave out refunds.
So everyone is getting his money back and nobody has to pay anything this month either.

Since I'm taking so long with Dream Molder my plan was to write a small short story and turn the payment on again when I release it later this month.
Since it turned out this way now Im going to do it a little bit different though...

I changed the description of the supporter tier everyone is in right now and will keep the payment turned on, so everyone that still wants to support me or just wants to give something in return for the game can actually do so.

For now I wont be able to upload on monthly basis though.
So for everyone that is waiting for something to be released atm, please just keep an eye on what Im doing in the future instead.
You can pleadge again at anytime in the future.

It's probably obvious for most of you guys anyway but want to make myself clear since I really dont want to take money for stuff that isn't there yet.


Guess Im bad with this stuff, really should have thought about that before I make a patreon. xD Probably didn't expect much support in the first place.

I'm sorry for any trouble caused through the refunds and hope to see you again when I' able to upload something.

Guess this cleares my conscience for now and I can hopefully work at my own pace again. xD

Hey everyone, just a quick update!
I thought I would be able to do something small until christmas since I had a few ideas but didn't get anything done in the end.

That's why I paused the payment for you guys next month.
So until I have some more updates or something else for you guys nobody has to pay anything.

Don't worry if you still want to support me though.
Just stay around, seeing that people stay interested already keeps motivating me. :>

Another note:
I'm thinking of getting someone to do the dialogues/writing for me so I could focus on the drawing/animating/putting everything together.
This would probably fasten the progress of the game a lot and increase quality since my writing and english still needs a ton of work.

It would also mean that I loose the learning process in that area though, which was the sole reason I started the project...
For now I'm still writing a more detailed Scene List with all the paths and endings so I've got some time to think about it.

Hope you all have nice holidays and I'll keep you guys updated. :>

Hey everyone!

Sadly I took way too long for this release since work got in the way and I didn't get it done the way I wanted it to.
I actually wanted to add a little extra/side story where the additional h-scene that I made over the month could be used and I wanted to add sounds and a friend as voice actor for braixen just for this scene.

Everything took me way longer than expected though, so it didn't work out in the end and the changelist for this patch isn't too big:
- 2 Titlescreens added
- Fullscreen implemented and should work now
- multiple bug and performance fixes.
- Random Title Credits
- additional h-animations in the gallery for patreon version only
- Autoread Button
- Skip Button for patreon version
What happens next

I'm actually a little surprised by the poll so far, I actually didn't expect most people to be interested in the Visual Novel part and less for the animations. Even more so because my writing lacks the most so far.

I will still do the public poll, but I probably end up trying to write a full length visual novel. I still have to figure out some things for that though. My dialogues are still pretty bad and finding the right words in english is a problem too.
I also have to choose if I go for a complete Version of Dream Molder or something else. Dream Molder would probably lack the diversity since I planned that one with only Braixen in mind.

Some people might want to see other pokemon though.
Just tell me what you think in that matter so nobody ends up unsatisfied. :>

Another thing would be that I will probably take a while to write the whole thing since I never tried writing a long piece like that. So I will still work on small games but with less story to not interfere with the writing of the big one.
I already had something in mind that is more of a Sim-VN Mix where you get stranded in a mountain and have to make decisions on how you spend your time and stamina to survive and befriend pokemon to help you do so.
Having pokemon friends will mean that you need more food though.

The idea was to have more gameplay by taking decisions and less text, so I can still write for the full VN.
I would add some h-Scenes for Pokemon with max friendship to also keep the animations coming and which Pokemon are in the game could be choosen by popularity.

So tell me what you think of the idea and what Pokemon or pairings you would like to see. (Like Female-Trainer+Male Lucario, just as an random example. Or Male-Trainer + Female Anthro Braixen as in Dream Molder)

Ok, that was quite enough jabbering already so here is one last thing.
Depending on how many people join as patreon this month I will start pausing my account in this or the next month until I have something new to download for you guys.
I want to give people a way to support and thank me for making Dream Molder but working on the next stuff, it might take some time before I have something to show and I don't want anyone to be charged while I work in the background.

So if you don't hear from me in a while you dont have to worry about paying anything or me stopping the work on it.
You can gladly ask questions anytime, give opinions, feedback or suggest stuff. I will try to answer to everything, and every feedback keeps me going, helping me grow. :>

Thanks for your support everyone and I hope to see you guys around in the future. :3
Have a nice week!

As for the rest...
The last month took me some time.
Work was going slowly because of work and overall sleep deprivation (would like to strangle those construction workers and offer them to some kind of deity atm).

I failed with a lot of stuff that I actually wanted to do and had to redo it over and over.
For now I'm content with the changes I did though, so I will release the public version of the demo soon.

I added the names of all you guys to the supporter list in the game. The list takes one name of the list on random and shows it everytime you open the title screen.
I used your patreon names on this list. If you want me to change, exclude, or add a link to a profile to your name just give me a quick message or answer this post and I'll update it fast for the release.

I worked on some additional h-animations that were supposed to be included into the game but didn't make it in the end.
I will add them to the gallery as a reward and gratitude for your support.

After working on them over the month I feel like it's not worth the wait over this month though. That's why I'll add a poll to this post for future rewards and what's to come.

I have some plans/ideas on how it goes on, but your opinions will decide in which direction I go.
I will add some polls to the public release too, but your opinion here will have a direct influence. In the end it pretty much tells me what I should put most weight into right now: Story, Gameplay, Lewd Stuff, Animations and so on...

I'll post more info to what I'll do next after the public release. Feel free to check as many options as you like until then to tell me what you would like to see most. :3

So what are you guys interested in and/or want to see more of in my future work?

There we go guys!

This took me way too long and I feel like I did nothing but working on this the last few days. xD
But there it is, the next part for the Braixen Visual Novel Demo.

It's not completly done, the title screen is missing and some bugs might still sneak around and all that stuff...

But H-Scenes+Animations are done and it is at least playable so far. Just keep in mind that it's still a learning and trying process for me.

Im unsatisfied with a lot of the content (that's why I chose to do a demo instead a full game in the first place), but as long as anyone out there likes it I'm happy and it was worth it. :>

The files I added are the full version for Windows and Mac. For anyone that wants a porn-free game I also added a SFW version without any nudity or Hentai Scenes. A lot shorter because of that though ofc.
If Mac support for the sfw version is needed just let me now and I'm going to add this one too.

This is a patreons only pre-release and I will release the (hopefully) bugfree version with title screen and some little changes later this year.

I gave special thanks to you guys at the end screen of the game, but want to do a little more for the later release. So in case you want different names than the patreon ones used there tell me which and I'll change them later.

If you give me an link to your own art profile or similear stuff I can also add it to the credits, so just let me now. :3

Ok, that's enough for now..
If you have any questions or feedback feel free to post them and I'll answer as soon as I see them. :>

If you want to you can also let me now about bugs and grammatical errors, then I will take care of them in the later release.

Thanks for your support guys and I hope you like it. :> I'll update you on what I do next. ^^

Extra: In case you're not even interested in Visual Novels and just want to see the art, I added some sort of cheat menu to add bonus stuff later on.

If you click in the lower right corner of the title screen and enter IMJUSTHEREFORART before clicking on the arrow that appears, you unlock the gallery and all the CG's + Scenes to look at without playing the game.
