Dreamland Wanderer Chapter 4 – Public release, Anniversary and Patreon change!

My fellow Dreamers,

Today is the day! I’m proud to bring you the Chapter 4 release.

I’ve already told quite a bit about this version in my previous post:

                “…that Chapter is both my favorite while being the harder to work on. As opposite to the previous versions, the story you’ll have to get through is mostly straightforward. I’ve made that choice because the flow of C4 events matters a lot. I want you to embark on a feel’s rollercoaster here and, for that, I require all your attention.

Along the 8 events, you will navigate between several seas. Passing by some spooky stuff, from lighthearted comedy, to drama, and, of course, stopping by the vast NSFW land, you’ll embark on a journey that, I hope, will inspire some of your dreams.

I won’t go deeper into story details here, as I don’t want to spoil the goods. However, keep in mind that, Chapter 4 concludes the first part of Dreamland Wanderer story. It’s also a good opportunity for me to introduce the VN routes. So, I can only advise you to keep a warm save at the beginning of current content somewhere…”

On a more technical matter:

• 8 new events
• Around 1 hour of additional content
• 400 new renders
• 14 animations
• New songs and sound effects

I hope you’ll enjoy the next step of our journey.

Today is also the second anniversary of DW. I’ve prepared a special render for us to celebrate!

Last but not least, for those of you who have asked me about how to support: Looking at my release schedule being slow, I don’t want to go back to a monthly supporter’s billing. The thing is: Patreon can’t modify my page settings to make a switch to “Pay per release” system and, until I stop putting the billing on hold, no new subscribers can join… So, I had no other choices but to recreate another Patreon page…

So, I did, and I also tried to recreate the whole history of posts here for you to feel at home. New URL should be the same as the old one (https://www.patreon.com/dreamlandwanderer).

It may not be approuved by the Patreon team at the moment I post this message but it should be running within hours (or at least I hope so...). Former page could still be accessed here if needed (https://www.patreon.com/dreamlandwandererold)

As I said before, the whole plan was to switch to a “Pay per release” billing. That means that you shouldn’t have to pay for anything until I release a new major version of DW. Of course, I’ll let all the subscribers know beforehand to let you cancel your pledge if that’s what you want. In short, no monthly and no surprise billings to fear. 

For current subscribers: I’ll suspend my former Patreon page in a month or so. If you wish to keep offering support, feel free to move onto the new page. About those of you with limited tiers (The Origin, First Wanderer, Team Founder, Old Monarch), please get in touch with me on Discord beforehand so I’ll open said tiers temporarily for you to subscribe.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Shli

PS: I’ve upgraded the Ren’Py version of the game so, unfortunately, I’m not able to make an “update only” release this time. Sorry about that…
