Overview:
Zach, a chronic underachiever who’s been coasting through life without a purpose and idly wasting his time playing various mobile games as a broke freshman in college, just found a curious ecchi game called re:/Dreamer. This incredible phone app has world-bending powers, and he accidentally turned himself into a girl before he even finished the tutorial! Even worse, unless he wins this perverted game, he’ll never be able to go back to his old life!
Play as Zach as he finds his way through this predatory game, placing his full faith into one friend he’s allowed to invite. Will he be able to win this game without giving up the things that make him a man in the process, or will he lose everything and remain stuck as a woman?
0.8.2 (06/22/2021) (CURRENT PUBLIC):
- Britney has an expansive new scene where she and Zach has sex. It has multiple branches with different contents depending on bPoints (aka the flags you raise with Britney by doing stuff she likes) and the C.H.E.A.T.S. stats. Essentially, more bPoints = more romance focus with Britney.
- The phone screen got yet another overhaul. Behind the scenes, it’s a fully modular layeredimage like a sprite where I can change the layout or any of the top elements (time, battery charge, etc.) on the top bar at any time and the screen of anime mobage app icons generated by AI CharacterMaker, but the real star of the show is the gorgeous new phone wallpaper drawn by PSI which debuted as Zach’s phone wallpaper in re:/Dreamer 0.8.2 (and yes, PSI is taking commissions right now, but only SFW ones, which is a shame because if he was taking NSFW commissions Espeon and I would throw money at him in a heartbeat).
- He was commissioned to do a totally-not-Azur-Lane-Taihou-Enrapture-Companion with Fate/EXTRA Nero’s semi-official GOODSMILE RACING race queen outfit, and holy CRAP did he exceed all expectations. This anime mobage babe who looks strikingly similar to Zoey is posing on what is essentially a red Chevrolet Corvette C8 with a widebody mod, which I am headcanoning as Zach’s preference in muscle cars (a cur nut friend was a bit mad that I didn’t take his recommendation of a 1973 AMC Javelin which he owns, and another tried to recommend a Ferrari Enzo with Lamborghini Countach scissor doors and intakes specifically designed to give every Italian who looked at in a rage-induced stroke).
- This wallpaper is available as a downscaled image in the Fan Art folder of the game for everyone, but patrons of every level have access to the full-resolution versions. I’m not saying it’ll turn you into an anime girl if you use it as the wallpaper for your phone, but I’m also not not saying that.
- You’ll notice the phone battery and time change throughout scenes. This was calculated based on conversational English being 120-150 words per minute, the best guesses I could for Zach thinking things, and Ai draining Zach’s phone battery by 1% every 3 minutes when she’s on screen and 1% every 5-6 minutes when she isn’t. Yes, this means that Zach’s battery can drain from a full charge to 0 in as little as 3 hours, but this is by design. I want Zach to have to rely an external battery for mid-day charges which is a very easy way to guarantee Ai is out of commission and not monitoring him, and it also highlights the handicap that Ai has of being tied to his phone and forces her to play nice since Zach is essentially lugging around a pacemaker for her.
- The in-game phone messaging has been partially overhauled with the top bar info, a new background, and adjusted slider bar colors. There’s also a pink version in the game for when Ai needs to help Zach’s disguise when he’s presenting as Zoey in public (or if she just like fucking with him).
- Ai’s phone background has been adjusted slightly to work better with the top bar on the phone screen.
- The Keisuke Day 3 party scene where Zach goes into a corner and plays on his phone has been slightly revamped to take into account Ai changing Zach’s phone theme from blue to pink when he’s in public as Zoey.
- The Keisuke Day 2 morning scene where Zach uses a portable charger on his phone has been expanded a tiny bit to explain why Zach has such a high-capacity portable charger.
- There’s now a forced override option for the textbox to be transparent. It’s only used in one place at the moment (the new Britney sex scene). I think this is the best option to show this scene without HCG. That being said, if you all yell at me loud enough, I will remove it because I know it looks kind of odd.
- Fixed an issue with the changing room selfie breaking the script (I didn’t account for the changed file structure of the new gloom bases).
- Fixed the issue with the confirmation screen causing lag, especially when quitting the game. Nobody has ever complained about this so it might be an issue only present in the SDK.
- The developer tools are now disabled on releases. Some lovely folks at F95zone have been trying to prove a point by leaking Sustainer passwords, so blame them. Sometime in the future, I’ll be implementing a secret key combination on releases to access it, but for now it’s locked.
- The route jump menu now shows what’s new in a release vs what’s existing content that’s been edited.
