A work in progress for A Gentle Dream, an upcoming diaper game!
This is the main character, Lacie! If you can't wait to see her padded up make sure to follow to see game progress
A sneak peek of some dialogue!
<Your walk is interrupted as someone grabs your shirt from behind you.>
"Just a second honey." Ms Julia calmly remarks. "I just wanna check if your dry.
Her hand reaches over to your front, brushing past the waistband, and sliding down to the bottom of it. "Hmm?" She croaks as she squeezes it. Your heart skips a beat, you don't remember having an accident.
"What's this?" Ms. Julia questions, as her groping intensifies, confirming her suspicions. A dry diaper is not squishy, nor is it wet and slightly sagging, like your diaper is right now.
"Oh Lacie, I had you figured for a big girl. Come on, let's get you changed
[ID: A two panel digital comic involving Soma Cruz and Genya Arikado from Castlevania Aria of Sorrow. The background is white, Soma is colored in blue tones and Genya is colored in greyish red tones. They are both drawn from the waist up.
In the first panel, Soma is on the left and Genya is on the right. Genya is facing the left at a 3/4ths angle but is looking partially to the right with a neutral but serious look. There is a text bubble, and the text he is saying reads:
'The servants of darkness have been sowing discord-' but he gets cut off by Soma.
Soma is facing the left at a 3/4ths angle and looking down a bit, with a uninterested look. There is no speech bubble, but there is small writing. Soma says 'I'm howlin' at the moon.'
The second panel shows them both in the same positions. Genya is looking back and over his shoulder at Soma. We cannot see his face. Soma is looking at Genya and he is drawn without a nose or mouth, but with wide, cartoony eyes, and he appears horrified. His hair is drawn somewhat fluffier here. End ID]

Below are some translation notes (spoiler warning)
This was my first ever major translation project. Since it spanned the time of almost two years, the quality of the translations may increase as you play through the game. Nonetheless I have gone back and redone a lot of the earlier dialogue with the help of a friend to make it sound more natural in English. If you find any errors or typos, you may leave an ask and I will correct it in a patch update.
In order to keep the spirit of an actual Ace Attorney game, several things were changed. Most notably, the characters names.
Names:
稲刈たんぼ (Inekari Tanbo) is Phoenix Wruff. People familiar with the Japanese Ace Attorney names may recognize that this name is nowhere near Naruhodou Ryuuichi. That's simply because this character, as with Edgewurrth, were not actually named after the main characters of the original series. I decided to change this given their clear homage. Inekari Tanbo literally means "harvesting (a) rice paddy".
条框蓮司(レンジ) (Jyoukamachi Renji) is Miles Edgewurrth. To be honest, I don't think there is a pun in his name. At the very least, I had trouble thinking of what it could be. If somebody knows, let me know. The most I can figure is the first kanji in his name can mean "streak", and according to Cheshire, Edgewurrth was supposed to get the white streak of hair, not Abe, but he didn't like how it looked on the former.
萬舞 (Man Mau) is Krystal "Kris" Balle. Her name means "10,000 dances", hence her English name.
濡沼 ウキモ (Nuranuma Ukimo) is Ashley Goodhead. Ukimo doesn't seem to have much significance as a word, although it could be related to 浮き which means to float, as in like, floating in water. I say this because the other parts of Ukimo's name, 濡(Nura)沼(Numa) refer to being wet and to swamps.
If this is true, why the name choice? Well, it's very complicated...
濡 Means a little more than just being wet. It also can mean being wet in the sexual sense. There's also the word 濡れ衣 (Nuraginu) which means to be falsely accused of a crime (literally and archaically "wet clothes"). Both these I would say fit Ukimo, not only because of her story position of being falsely accused, but also, well... just look at her design. It would be naive to claim there's nothing sexual about it.
沼 has some connotations among gaming, interestingly. It can mean being addicted to something (that something being a piece of media, typically) or being "swamped" in a game, i.e being stuck and unable to progress.
Now, this meaning of the word has only come into play somewhat recently. Like, 2015-ish. Which makes it sort of inapplicable, since Gyaku San was created around 2003.
A different slang use of 沼 that was used around this time was 池沼 which means, basically, the r slur... in a way? It's used to make fun of "weird" or "cringe" behavior, typically present in those with mental disability. It's a homophone of 知障, which does mean "mental disability".
With all this in mind, I had a very hard time piecing together a name for Ukimo that would feel at home in Ace Attorney. Especially because I don't know the full extent of what Cheshire had in mind when naming her.
Ashley was chosen given that, to me, it is a very "popular teenage girl" name. "Ash" would also make her closely related to "Phoenix". (Get it? LOL). I almost debated on making any use of ウキモちゃん (Ukimo-chan) be "Ash", but decided it would be kind of weird...
Goodhead was chosen for several reasons. It, of course, is a clear sexual pun, but it is also a reference to James Bond, something I feel could encapsulate some of the slang meanings of 沼 (media obsession) while serving to imitate Ace Attorney's love of pop culture references. "Goodhead" could also be taken literally, as in meaning she has a good head on her shoulders, which would refer to her being innocent; the "false accusation" meaning in her name.
It was the best I could do. Orz.
阿部伊知郎 (Abe Ichirou) is Abe Founder. He kept the first part, although his last name became his first name, and his original first name means "The one wise son". However, without the kanji, "ichirou" can mean to fail your college entrance exam. Considering that he lies about going to a prestigious college when he actually went to a average one reminded me of this, so his last name was chosen to hold similar meaning. "Founder", as a noun, can mean someone who establishes something, and typically this is used with positive connotation. However, as a verb, it can mean "failure", which I think is apt and captures this stark contrast meaning.
Many things in the game were changed to better be understood by a Western audience, such as obscure Japanese pop culture references and suchlike. The backwards poster bit was the hardest, but I managed to pull it off. In short, Ashley's - or Ukimo's - poster originally was a reference to an old Japanese song (likely) that had さんさん(san san) written. When read from the back, さ looks like ち(chi). The "look dood" poster said 犬さんぽ in the original, which means "dog stroll". But when read from the back, it looks like 犬ちんぽ which means "dog penis". I did my best with this, haha.
FYI for people equally disappointed by this, it's super easy to turn off! Go to duckduckgo(.)com and click the hamburger menu in the upper right corner. Choose Settings. Click on AI Features. Change everything to Off. Save and Exit.
You now will not be bothered by annoying banners! Maybe if enough people turn it off DuckDuckGo will get the message and just remove it...? (Probably not but one can dream.)
💗HEART & BATTLE: The WLW-centric Fantasy Visual Novel & Dating Sim by @lzarts 💗
Love is Calling. Will You Answer?
My masterpost of my dating sim game is here! For most of August, I took the time to design the characters, backgrounds, UI interface, layout and logos/design for this small portfolio project, HEART & BATTLE! Explore a rich world of combat, allies, romance, and questionable forest witchcraft!
The support over Twitter and from my friends meant a lot, and it was fun to get it all dished out in little teaser animations! Sadly, this is not a real, published visual novel game, as much as I would like to bring it to life for the LGBT+ community, especially for my fellow wlw who don’t always have much media to call their own. Especially for my fellow wlw who also happen to love orcs as much as I do.
But if any gaming studios in the California bay area want to hire me, please let me know. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
i just posted this stupid thing last night and i swear to god my brother came over today and said oh by the way heres the $300 i owe you. no fucking lie!
