Welcome to the Domed Dream blog

This blog will be about the development of my current (and first) visual novel "Domed Dream". You can expect progress updates and/or art at least once per month.

Some information about Domed Dream:

mystery, suspense, a bit of romance

Set in a seaside village called "Swantelow", you get to become the coastal ranger's assistant

You get to choose your own name + your love interest's name

7 endings are planned

All art, code and (most of the) music will come from me. Sfx will come from the Soundly free tier and freesound.org

If you want to check on my progress, you can see it in this Google Doc. Once the full game is done, you'll find it on the itch-link below.

Thank you for your interest in Domed Dream :)

A silly screenshot for Saturday, yippih!

For the long Demo I've still got a mountain of sprites to draw or update, but I'm happy to make progress uwu. I'll keep (public!) track of my progress in this Google Doc , by the way.

How is your weekend going? If you are currently making a game, what's your progress on it?

[kindspectrevns]

Happy Pride Month everyone!! uwu

painting practice with Fiora and Leander I dd some while ago.

Currently, I'm working hard on the CGs for the longer demo :D. It's progressing steadily!

He's holding a sand martin, by the way! They are the smallest of the martins and swallows found in Europe. In reality, they are brown and white and they burrow their homes into cliffs or near rivers. Leander's design is inspired by that bird :3

WIP for a CG that will appear in the longer demo for Domed Dream :3

... I really need to find different angles for him. Can't keep him facing to the left his entire life.

Currently working through some sprites for Domed Dream.

I've also been thinking about turning my current progress into a longer demo. It would be three times the length of the current (mini) demo.

Would you prefer the next itch-upload to be a longer demo or wait for the full game?

Getting a longer demo would be cool.

I don't need an extra demo. I'll wait till the full game is out.

The most recent cg work-in-progress for Domed Dream :)

[kindspectrevns]

A little background work-in-progress. :)

No screenshots for this weekend, but some more art of Fiora.

Am currently writing scene 5/11 of the main story. For the time being I use placeholder sketches, so the chance to post actual environments and CGs will come way later.

If you'd like to see me draw fanarts of amazing VNs, check out my other blog:

I actually prefer to draw women… For Domed Dream that means Fiora (on the right). So I added the beautiful Amelia (on the left) from the game Big Bad Dogs by spar0w. Am already excited for the next update/shift 3 of that game ^0^

My first Screenshot Saturday - with good news: a short demo of Domed Dream is available on itch right now. Artwork in it isn't final, but it can give you an overview of the vibes for the game.
