Seems like I ain't the only one where this game or novel hits home a bit. Overall I like it considering the premise. Although my personal reaction in the same situation would be more accepting of the changes.
I have made a review on this game but it was like 4 words so I might as well make a big one.
Glad I was horny one night! I love this game, I check back whenever I can remember to see if it has a update because I love the writing which no other adult game can seem to do right. This game is all over the place in a good way and shows the development in storytelling and writing skills. I think comparing the mom route to the Keisuke is unfair. I know the Keisuke route is getting change but I think the character development is done way better in the mom route. It puts the whole sex aspect to the side because of the route (which I am assuming) focusing more on Zach and him being her and realising they are trans. With no fear of really needing to play the sex game, the writing can get really personal with no sex part coming in (not to say that they are not implemented well, I think some feel decently natural) and the reveal that his mom was expecting a girl was amazing.
I have not really spoke about the Britney route so I might as well. She is a well written character and her traits don't feel like they have been lost. I mean, she is a Texan lesbian with a love of theatre and stuff. With the building set, she is easy to build off and feels like a good relationship for Zach. I could also be wrong but I think this is the route that said one of my favourite things I've heard in writing, the whole people being their own oceans, this only second to the reveal in the mom route. I like the connection that our two characters have I think it's natural but restrictive on letting Zach figure out that he is maybe a bit bisexual. My head is a bit dated on this route for how long ago I did it and that is was my first route but I still remember it well.
Now last but not least is Keisuke which first of all, I like the idea. A childhood friend finds out their friend is now a chick and gives it to her on the first day is a funny thing to think about. I like Keisuke for his day 1, I don't love how long it is but the beginning of it is amazing, they way he is shown off as some guy who wants another girl on his bed is a good way to show a character who in some way diverts the expectations. His backstory is somewhat sad and takes the fact away from the idea that Zach is 100% just going to let is slide on how his childhood friend fucked him on day one of being a girl (Britney is no different but something about it feels slightly different). I think that in the way this game is shown, if your looking for SEX then this is the route. But I will assume that is part will probably get a bit smoother in the transition.
I love the writing in this game and the ideas and concepts shown in a game that was originally made to be a sex game is incredible. I don't know if this was noticeable but dam, I love the mom route so much. This may be bias because I'm trans or because it's shorter and so there is less chance of bad writing (which the mom route has non and most really old parts do). I understand mental health can really fuck with projects and your passions and hobbies, I would know. There is no rush to make something. If you think that you need to get a update out to get a update out then your stupid. The passion for the game is what makes it great. Your writing is amazing and I would hate for it to suffer because you feel the need to work on a game that takes so long that your health is affected. 10/10 game, Zoey is a transition goal. :3
Alright so I don't normally comment but I feel like I wanna say stuff. I initially downloaded this bc "oo horny gender-bender with drama? yes please" But I got into the story and have now played 30 hours (roughly, excluding time spent reading World Info and Authors Notes) , having basically only done the mom route with a bunch of different C.H.E.A.T.S. values, a Britney run with 5.5.5.5.5.5, and a Keisuke with the same.
Firstly: This story made me rethink my own identity and seek out advice from a friend, along with learning more about their experience with being a trans man. Its been very eye opening, and while I've yet to actually decide/realize whatever it may be that I am, its definitely "cracked" me, (for lack of a better term).
Second: I've absolutely LOVED reading all the World Info and Authors Notes, Its such a complex and well built world for no good reason other that "fuck it its my project I'll do what I want". It feels like a lot of VNs that I've read lately are flat in the world or setting department, and focus WAY too much on "I'm just here to be horny. Have fun with that". Its an ENORMOUS breath of fresh air. It definitely comes across that this is a passion project. and not just a passion project, a PASSION project. The amount of love, care and effort you've put it comes through loud and clear, and I've immensely happy I happened to stumbled across this hidden gem of a game for it.
Lastly: I'm glad to see you're figuring things out! I've been playing with Authors Notes on since my 2nd playthrough. (I started with trying to explore all of the Mom routes option through different C.H.E.A.T.S. values, I initially downloaded bc horny but by the time I actually got to any of the actually spicy bits I was so hooked on the story Id forgotten, so I went with the non-NSFW route to learn more about the world and setting) and for a bit it was a little heartbreaking to see/read about how rough things were for you, but as I played through more it seems like you're working towards figuring out who you are and where you wanna be, which, while I may be a faceless goblin on the internet, is still good to see from one of my new favorite authors I've ever read a story from.
Oh yeah, I wanted to ask if it'd be possible to either make an easier way to do with minigames with Britney or skip them entirely? I've got joint issues and some of them absolutely destroyed my hands for a few hours after.
And as far as my notes go(ignoring a lot of minor critiques from stuff like Ren'Py being a bitch to work with sometimes, and a few things that aren't easy to have control over), that's about it! Keep doing the AMAZING job you have been, good luck, and hope things keep looking up! Just don't forget that if you need a break to reset or recoup, myself and countless other will be fully behind you the whole time. Thanks for reading this essay level comment on my experience with your wonderful experience of a game.
because why not, that's why. love when hentai/sex games give actual world building/a whole lot of lore than just being horny. sure that's the main appeal, but doesn't mean it's the entire premise.
I know what you said, but this game really did help me realize something about myself. I’m sadly not in an environment to come out about it yet, as half my family are religious nuts, and the other are just barely becoming tolerant of gay people, let alone trans people. So, honestly, thank you, and, I personally know people that have fought through conditions that were terminal, and lived a long life, one being my maternal grandfather, who fought cancer 4 times, and still lived to his mid 80s. So I’m rooting for ya, I believe you can fight this. Sorry this got long winded, but the new intro got me a bit emotional. Cheers mate, may you live long and prosper
I commented before on this game, but I just want to say it again, that downloading this game was probably the best decision I have made to date while horny, and after finally coming to go through all of the 4th anniversary stuff, and reading some of the stuff on the Patreon made me have an even higher appreciation for the work that has been put into this game. Going through all that and still delivering a great product is honestly amazing. I myself have also begun to re ask myself more indepth about who I am now and who I want to be than the last time I commented, which is what reminded that I should probably come back and check out the game again.
So again, thank you Captain and everyone else who has worked hard on this, as this game truly has changed my life.
Ok i am a lover of history and i just read the part he said the USS ENTERPRISE was sunk in pearl harbor , this piss me off to the point i had to stop and look it up because last time i checked the enterprise was not at pearl harbor on the morning of the attack , she was japan's main target but failed to sink her because she was not there when the attack happened she had her planes launch and 8 of them made it to the air 7 planes where shot down with one remaining and furthermore she was the one aircraft carrier that had the most attacks on japan during the battle for the pacific which in reality was mainly in japan's front door. Then during the war she was hit and sent in for repairs and had her whole deck rebuilt and went back into the war and survived , she served a few more years and then we built the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier and gave it the name, but the wooden deck from ww2 was NOT sunk at all, she was one of the 3 surviving carriers after the war , these are #Facts
I very literally do not ever comment, or honestly even bother to login to itch to have the option. But, this project is going to be the exception. For those that have already had the experience that has been created, already know why I'm going to say what comes next. For those that don't I whole heartedly invite you to find out.
Thank you.
Thank you for the bravery, the dedication, the honesty and clarity. For the world, the writing, the experience, the emotions. Thank you for opening thoughts, and feelings, considerations and viewpoints.
I for one, albeit, a faceless mass on the digital world we call the internet. Appreciate everything that has been included, and I look forward to more. Yes this includes the 'side path', and perhaps, at least for me that may have been the best part of all of it. There is -a lot- to be said about how much it takes to actually go through all of that, and even more to be willing, and able, to actually speak on it.
So keep on being you, you glorious you, you beautiful you. I will be along for this ride till it reaches its end, and I have every bit of faith and trust that it will come and be as glorious as everything I've read so far.
i got a decent way in (just past the friend choice (britney)) and god this is sooooooo good. like holy shit there is so much work in here and it's awesome!
can't wait to play more and i hope that i'm able to support it (financially) sometime soon!
I remember there being a game with a plot and name extremely similar to this years ago on itch.io. I also remember the game having a similar name, though at this point everything is too fuzzy to say much beyond you playing as a man who turns himself into a woman through some magical app (which if I remember correctly was demonic in some capacity or had some ancient lost history bullshit to explain the app's powers).
Anyways, did you make something like that, and if so, do you still have the files somewhere to check out? Either way, thank for your time!
I think you've found the visual novel you are looking for, but not sure where you got the ancient lost history and other stuff from; however, the game is set in an alternative timeline that diverged in WW2 to justify a Japanamerica setting.
You clearly have not played the game. This games plot and everything is so well wrote. If you have something bad to say then just look the other way and shut the fuck up.
So then letme ask you , why the fuck are you playing a game where the character turns into one ? Are you curious about it ? To be brutally honest here , when a man speaks bad about gay man ,crossdressers , or transgirls is because he is in the closet and hates the fact that he cant come out for 1 reason or another but i do not believe there are any straight people , evrybody is either bi or gay , some just have the courage to live it in the open while some do it secretly and most hate because they wish they can live it openly, now think about it , 😊
Please do not openly postulate about the gender identity or sexual leanings of someone in these comments. The entire point of this visual novel is that gender and sexuality are complicated but something you have to respect as a basic right of a person.
Well the pretender doesnt get a headache when its time to do the deed and doesnt bleed for 7 days , id take the pretender over a real girl with the sloppy salamy flapping between her legs any day , #girl🍆allday
I made an account just to comment on my experience with this game;
Ill preface by saying wow, im glad i was horny in the middle of the night 1 weekend, because this game is legitimately transformative (pun half intended).
To call this an GB Visual novel is VASTLY underselling it, the amount of emotion and depth that went into all the characters (at least most of them that ive seen, havent 100% yet) is enough to almost make me cry. like i can go from a weird trippy sex scene to crying at my computer in an instant and i LOVE it.
the dynamics between yourself, the love interests, and their parents is something that was truly eye opening for me, in good and bad ways (like this narcissistic, borderline abusive characachure of a mom can accept her daughter but not my mom???????)
I love the versatility that comes with the C.H.E.A.T.S system, and it feels like i can play a game about me, and i greatly appreciate letting me know what a scene will contain and when it starts
The game also has amazing bits of comedy in the occasional visual gag, cheesy reference, and interactions between certain characters.
This is probably one of, if not my favorite indie game, and the only thing i could say thats remotely negative is that its incomplete (definitely not a critique, just an observation), and that i wont know what to do with the void this game created when i finally do complete the full version.
all i can say is keep up the amazing work, i would pay you if i had a job!
Only got the one PC also if I am not being so presumptive will there be a route or option that leads to zoey having children if not I'm quite happy for such a thing to be one picture after the credits I find it may be a good story beat in my opinion I'm quite willing to spend money from my limited funds your visual novel is very good
HOLY SHIT, LISTEN U DESCRIBING PEOPLE AS THEIR OWN OCEANS AND HOW SOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN GET REALLY LOST IN THEM REALLY FUCKIN HIT ME FOR SOME REASON!! Like, I have never heard of a more perfect way to describe people in my life! I'm totally stealing that analogy to use later! Hehe, sorry, had to gush about that before I fully got into the game!
I just want to say thank you for making this game. While I haven't played the 4.0 update yet, this project definitely helped me figure out... some stuff about myself and who I am.
If I had a simpler career path, this game probably would've made me a trans woman. But it's not worth the effort when you plan on being a soldier who gets in frequent firefights. I really enjoyed the game, although every times I hit the abrupt end of the three paths, it made me a little sad. I hope this continues to get updated, and doesn't die out as an early access game. I especially want the Mom choice to continue, that route is really fucking good, and it would be great if you then got to interact with Britney or Keisuke after your revelation. The Aurarian dance playing in the background was the cherry on top. If I ever convince myself God is real, I might even pray for it.
Thank you so much on making that decision of spending extra 80$ on that one picture on Britney´s route in the roleplay session. It was so worth it. Also congratulation on the 4th anniversary as well as your B-day though after reading the special intro and 4th wall break "side story" I am totally lost for words and all I can say is thank you for sticking though it all and continuing working on this passion project of yours for yoursef, for the community or other reasons you might have . Best of luck and health to you Cap
Hello. First of all, I can't find the words to describe this novel. All I've got from it are good feelings. Thanks for making it a reality 💕
Now... there's something that's been bugging me for a while (outside the novel itself) and it's the fact that I can't find a way to look at the flowchart on my phone (Android 13, 8GB RAM...)
I've tried all the apps I have installed and I can't zoom enough into the png or it looks way too blurry. Same for the svg, and when I downloaded a svg viewer it didn't show the longer texts properly.
I haven't tried opening it from my PC but honestly that'd be very unpractical for me. I figured I wasn't the only one with this problem so why not asking for advice here? Maybe an app that displays it correctly, or a site that converts the file into one my phone could render correctly? Thanks in advance u.u
Sadly, I only just got a Pixel 8 myself and am still very new to it. The flowchart largely isn't needed for how linear this visual novel is once you choose a route, only serving to clarify optional content with different text, not a new route offshoot.
I am surprised the SVG doesn't zoom properly. I tried to export the flowchart to URL but it's too long to share here. And the image export is just too big for draw.io to do now.
That's unfortunate. I was curious about the little differences according to the C.H.E.A.T.S. values and stuff I would probably miss otherwise.
To be clear, the SVG file did zoom in until it was readable when using the SVG viewer app, but the text would render in a single line, which means long annotations get cut off once the text reaches the end of the box.
Anyways, thanks a lot for your reply. I'll try opening it from my PC or using different programs either on my phone or PC. If that fails, I'll resort to squinting my eyes and doing some effort to read the blurry version my phone shows me lol (it's not that bad for most of the text).
And who knows, maybe I'll just try different stuff until I find most of the plot, scenes and little details. Sounds scary given how much effort was put into this amazing project, but I guess it's not impossible. That'd be fun ^^
Already knew myself as trans around 2018, and discovered this game a while back on my near endless hunt for GB content. Reading all of your 4th anniversary author story is incredibly eye opening and touching. Thank you for sharing your story and wishing the best for you and the future of the game! ^-^
Thoroughly enjoyable and eagerly awaiting for the future of this game. Not only that, but has also made me ask myself questions that I haven't thoroughly thought of asking myself before, and while I still don't have solid answers yet, I never expected to be asking them because of a game I originally downloaded because of a TF fetish.
Yeah, just been crunching like a monster for the now-late anniversary release. I got a little too ambitious with it and probably averaged 80 hours per week in the last month.
Hopefully tomorrow is the release, as all I have left are edits, checks, and a small bit of writing.
So, came for lewd TF VNs, picked the mom route, left with "oh gods, I need to have a real heart-to-heart with my mother now" feels. You made me cry happy tears. I will be supporting on Patreon when I am able.
Turns out I just conformed with the people around me. A lot of things I thought were necessary weren't things I actually wanted and I convinced myself that I did. I played this game and It made me realise a lot. The game is still far from finished, but when it does, I'll play it again, hopefully as a happier person. Take care and keep up the good work :]
So I started playing re:Dreamer at version 0.11.0 back when you could still alter the characters’ appearances freely. Since then, every time I download and play a new version, whenever I open the sprite viewer it shows Zoey with the last appearance I gave her on that old version - pink hair and purple eyes - and she would likewise appear that way when I return to the game.
I have delayed asking questions about this so I could experiment and find ways to hopefully get around it, and up until version 0.13.2 I had been able to do so with only slight difficulty. My means of doing this was to either, A: start a new game on version 0.11.0, skip to the part where the gender swap occurs, change Zoey’s appearance to have black hair and red eyes (the default), save, close the game, and load the save in the new version; or B: open and close the menu and sprite viewer repeatedly until, seemingly at random, Zoey’s appearance would return to the default setting, at which point I could simply return to the game and she would look the way she’s supposed to.
If I would open the menu at any point in the game after fixing it, regardless of whether or not I had opened the sprite viewer, Zoey would return to having pink hair and purple eyes, and I would have to repeat the process again. Sometimes, her appearance would also revert simply by progressing through dialogue, or during a transition where her outfit would change, or after a cutscene in which her character sprite ceases to be on the screen momentarily, though repeated testing on my part could not yield consistent results as far as when it would happen during any of these.
I took a break from this game for awhile so I could return to it with fresh eyes after y’all had expanded upon it, but when I tried version 0.16.1 the problem persisted. And while method A still works for returning Zoey to her default appearance, method B does not. Being as A is the more difficult and less applicable of my two methods, this presents an obvious problem when Zoey’s appearance inevitably shifts back to pink hair and purple eyes.
I am unsure what might be the cause of this glitch, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that I have two copies of the game installed at any given time? If you happen to have any insight into this, I’d be very appreciative if you could share it with me.
I really, REALLY like this game, and even if I can’t resolve this issue I’ll probably keep playing anyway just because the story is so well written. It goes so far above and beyond what I’ve come to expect of hentai VNs, let alone VNs for such a niche category as Gender Swapping, so I really can’t give enough praise as far as quality goes. Thank you for making this game, and I really look forward to playing the final product at some point down the line.
I'll look into it in the morning, but delete the persistent file from Users/<USER>/AppData/Roaming/RenPy folder (and possible the rest of the reDreamer files if that doesn't work). Old saves are usually not meant to be reloaded, hence the jump menu at the title that jumps ahead to build new saves based on the variables from choices you have made.

I just find this game cuz of horniness, now im waiting for an update to this (Take ur time dev). 10/10 highly recommend (satisfied boner)
Thanks, this game broke me...
10/10...
yeah, that happens a bit too much sadly
Seems like I ain't the only one where this game or novel hits home a bit. Overall I like it considering the premise. Although my personal reaction in the same situation would be more accepting of the changes.
man, i need to play more of this game, i love the genderbender ordeal happening.
I have made a review on this game but it was like 4 words so I might as well make a big one.

Is this game still being developed or is it finished
It is still being developed, but my mental health has been wild recently.
You can read about what the update is and why the delay has been so long here.
Take better care of yourself
You sly dog you
thought i wouldnt notice the undertale reference at the end of ending one did you
Fun fact: I've never played it.

Alright so I don't normally comment but I feel like I wanna say stuff.

Why the hell is the lore so in depth?
like im not complaining its the best part i just really wasn't expecting it
because why not, that's why. love when hentai/sex games give actual world building/a whole lot of lore than just being horny. sure that's the main appeal, but doesn't mean it's the entire premise.

This game helped crack my egg 10/10
love this game can't wait to see more
I like the game and it's content as far as I have played on PC and wanted to try it on my more convenient way to play on phone (android).
but I couldn't extract it because it's a zip file.
Is there a apk file anywhere?
There is an APK in the zip file you can extract with google files from the play store, but here's one from my dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yiq025ugn6xra5admurrs/re.dreamer-release.apk?rlke...
Thank you very much for helping me out, it finally worked.
Where can i join the discord ? the end game screen link doesnt wor
Just tested it. It should work. https://discord.com/invite/vjEUvZU

It's an alternative history setting chief.
I very literally do not ever comment, or honestly even bother to login to itch to have the option. But, this project is going to be the exception. For those that have already had the experience that has been created, already know why I'm going to say what comes next. For those that don't I whole heartedly invite you to find out.
Thank you.
Thank you for the bravery, the dedication, the honesty and clarity. For the world, the writing, the experience, the emotions. Thank you for opening thoughts, and feelings, considerations and viewpoints.
I for one, albeit, a faceless mass on the digital world we call the internet. Appreciate everything that has been included, and I look forward to more. Yes this includes the 'side path', and perhaps, at least for me that may have been the best part of all of it. There is -a lot- to be said about how much it takes to actually go through all of that, and even more to be willing, and able, to actually speak on it.
So keep on being you, you glorious you, you beautiful you. I will be along for this ride till it reaches its end, and I have every bit of faith and trust that it will come and be as glorious as everything I've read so far.
i got a decent way in (just past the friend choice (britney)) and god this is sooooooo good. like holy shit there is so much work in here and it's awesome!
can't wait to play more and i hope that i'm able to support it (financially) sometime soon!
I just started playing, but damn. This game literally made me cry at the beginning. Really real and wholesome so far.
I remember there being a game with a plot and name extremely similar to this years ago on itch.io. I also remember the game having a similar name, though at this point everything is too fuzzy to say much beyond you playing as a man who turns himself into a woman through some magical app (which if I remember correctly was demonic in some capacity or had some ancient lost history bullshit to explain the app's powers).
Anyways, did you make something like that, and if so, do you still have the files somewhere to check out? Either way, thank for your time!
I think you've found the visual novel you are looking for, but not sure where you got the ancient lost history and other stuff from; however, the game is set in an alternative timeline that diverged in WW2 to justify a Japanamerica setting.
Wait i thought the japanamerica was in order to hint that all of human history since the 40s has been dictated by a sex competition
I believe you are thinking of "reborn app" by thermifish
no they don't. a real girl makes the best girl, not some pretender.
Well have I got some potential news for you about the protagonist of this visual novel!
if its got a dick, then it turns my stomach, regardless of how skilled or beautiful it may be.
You clearly have not played the game. This games plot and everything is so well wrote. If you have something bad to say then just look the other way and shut the fuck up.
you look the other way. I can say how I feel as much as anyone. if you don't like what someone says, ignore them.
Hi stop being transphobic also this game features the main character's body transforming from AMAB to AFAB through some gobbledygook.
So then letme ask you , why the fuck are you playing a game where the character turns into one ? Are you curious about it ? To be brutally honest here , when a man speaks bad about gay man ,crossdressers , or transgirls is because he is in the closet and hates the fact that he cant come out for 1 reason or another but i do not believe there are any straight people , evrybody is either bi or gay , some just have the courage to live it in the open while some do it secretly and most hate because they wish they can live it openly, now think about it , 😊
Please do not openly postulate about the gender identity or sexual leanings of someone in these comments. The entire point of this visual novel is that gender and sexuality are complicated but something you have to respect as a basic right of a person.
Well the pretender doesnt get a headache when its time to do the deed and doesnt bleed for 7 days , id take the pretender over a real girl with the sloppy salamy flapping between her legs any day , #girl🍆allday
I made an account just to comment on my experience with this game;
Ill preface by saying wow, im glad i was horny in the middle of the night 1 weekend, because this game is legitimately transformative (pun half intended).
To call this an GB Visual novel is VASTLY underselling it, the amount of emotion and depth that went into all the characters (at least most of them that ive seen, havent 100% yet) is enough to almost make me cry. like i can go from a weird trippy sex scene to crying at my computer in an instant and i LOVE it.
the dynamics between yourself, the love interests, and their parents is something that was truly eye opening for me, in good and bad ways (like this narcissistic, borderline abusive characachure of a mom can accept her daughter but not my mom???????)
I love the versatility that comes with the C.H.E.A.T.S system, and it feels like i can play a game about me, and i greatly appreciate letting me know what a scene will contain and when it starts
The game also has amazing bits of comedy in the occasional visual gag, cheesy reference, and interactions between certain characters.
This is probably one of, if not my favorite indie game, and the only thing i could say thats remotely negative is that its incomplete (definitely not a critique, just an observation), and that i wont know what to do with the void this game created when i finally do complete the full version.
all i can say is keep up the amazing work, i would pay you if i had a job!
Thank you so much. Comments like this mean a lot to me.
file on download is empty on the win-linux.zip download cant extract due to nothing being there
Just downloaded it and extracted it fine on another PC.
Only got the one PC also if I am not being so presumptive will there be a route or option that leads to zoey having children if not I'm quite happy for such a thing to be one picture after the credits I find it may be a good story beat in my opinion I'm quite willing to spend money from my limited funds your visual novel is very good
HOLY SHIT, LISTEN
U DESCRIBING PEOPLE AS THEIR OWN OCEANS AND HOW SOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN GET REALLY LOST IN THEM REALLY FUCKIN HIT ME FOR SOME REASON!!
Like, I have never heard of a more perfect way to describe people in my life!
I'm totally stealing that analogy to use later!
Hehe, sorry, had to gush about that before I fully got into the game!
This thing would even boot. Loading screen to nothing.
Can you check your error messages or compiled files? Can I get a screenshot?
This is copy/paste from the log.txt file, I don't see any error logs

I'll look into this. Sorry this is happening.
When you say it "stops", is the loading screen stuck at ~75% forever? Or is it closing/crashing?
The loading bar simply stops ~ 75% and disappears, there is also nothing in the task manager, I assume it crashes. It doesn't appear to be "stuck".
Can you download the sdk for renpy 8.1.3 and try to run the vn from that? https://www.renpy.org/latest.html
I just want to say thank you for making this game. While I haven't played the 4.0 update yet, this project definitely helped me figure out... some stuff about myself and who I am.
I wish you luck from here on own.
If I had a simpler career path, this game probably would've made me a trans woman. But it's not worth the effort when you plan on being a soldier who gets in frequent firefights. I really enjoyed the game, although every times I hit the abrupt end of the three paths, it made me a little sad. I hope this continues to get updated, and doesn't die out as an early access game. I especially want the Mom choice to continue, that route is really fucking good, and it would be great if you then got to interact with Britney or Keisuke after your revelation. The Aurarian dance playing in the background was the cherry on top. If I ever convince myself God is real, I might even pray for it.
Good luck.
And you as well.
Thank you so much on making that decision of spending extra 80$ on that one picture on Britney´s route in the roleplay session. It was so worth it. Also congratulation on the 4th anniversary as well as your B-day though after reading the special intro and 4th wall break "side story" I am totally lost for words and all I can say is thank you for sticking though it all and continuing working on this passion project of yours for yoursef, for the community or other reasons you might have . Best of luck and health to you Cap
Thanks. I'm trying.
Hello. First of all, I can't find the words to describe this novel. All I've got from it are good feelings. Thanks for making it a reality 💕
Now... there's something that's been bugging me for a while (outside the novel itself) and it's the fact that I can't find a way to look at the flowchart on my phone (Android 13, 8GB RAM...)
I've tried all the apps I have installed and I can't zoom enough into the png or it looks way too blurry. Same for the svg, and when I downloaded a svg viewer it didn't show the longer texts properly.
I haven't tried opening it from my PC but honestly that'd be very unpractical for me. I figured I wasn't the only one with this problem so why not asking for advice here? Maybe an app that displays it correctly, or a site that converts the file into one my phone could render correctly? Thanks in advance u.u
Sadly, I only just got a Pixel 8 myself and am still very new to it. The flowchart largely isn't needed for how linear this visual novel is once you choose a route, only serving to clarify optional content with different text, not a new route offshoot.
I am surprised the SVG doesn't zoom properly. I tried to export the flowchart to URL but it's too long to share here. And the image export is just too big for draw.io to do now.
Glad you've enjoyed the visual novel!
That's unfortunate. I was curious about the little differences according to the C.H.E.A.T.S. values and stuff I would probably miss otherwise.
To be clear, the SVG file did zoom in until it was readable when using the SVG viewer app, but the text would render in a single line, which means long annotations get cut off once the text reaches the end of the box.
Anyways, thanks a lot for your reply. I'll try opening it from my PC or using different programs either on my phone or PC. If that fails, I'll resort to squinting my eyes and doing some effort to read the blurry version my phone shows me lol (it's not that bad for most of the text).
And who knows, maybe I'll just try different stuff until I find most of the plot, scenes and little details. Sounds scary given how much effort was put into this amazing project, but I guess it's not impossible. That'd be fun ^^
Already knew myself as trans around 2018, and discovered this game a while back on my near endless hunt for GB content. Reading all of your 4th anniversary author story is incredibly eye opening and touching. Thank you for sharing your story and wishing the best for you and the future of the game! ^-^
Shit, this game made me realise I'm trans. How it do dat
Not intentionally, I assure you.
Same
Thoroughly enjoyable and eagerly awaiting for the future of this game. Not only that, but has also made me ask myself questions that I haven't thoroughly thought of asking myself before, and while I still don't have solid answers yet, I never expected to be asking them because of a game I originally downloaded because of a TF fetish.
Good luck to you from here on out with finding yourself. It's a difficult journey I am on myself.
This is easily THE BEST game I've played everything is atleast 8/10 if I had spare money I would give it to support the game and the devs
Thank you, but treat the Patreon as a tip jar. Only give if you can afford it.
You good? You usually don't go a month without posting.
Yeah, just been crunching like a monster for the now-late anniversary release. I got a little too ambitious with it and probably averaged 80 hours per week in the last month.
Hopefully tomorrow is the release, as all I have left are edits, checks, and a small bit of writing.
Don't rush development it's a big game so be patient
So, came for lewd TF VNs, picked the mom route, left with "oh gods, I need to have a real heart-to-heart with my mother now" feels. You made me cry happy tears. I will be supporting on Patreon when I am able.
Turns out I just conformed with the people around me. A lot of things I thought were necessary weren't things I actually wanted and I convinced myself that I did. I played this game and It made me realise a lot. The game is still far from finished, but when it does, I'll play it again, hopefully as a happier person. Take care and keep up the good work :]
Hey, good luck with "you" from a random on the internet. Takes courage and is tough. Hope you succeed!
So I started playing re:Dreamer at version 0.11.0 back when you could still alter the characters’ appearances freely. Since then, every time I download and play a new version, whenever I open the sprite viewer it shows Zoey with the last appearance I gave her on that old version - pink hair and purple eyes - and she would likewise appear that way when I return to the game.
I have delayed asking questions about this so I could experiment and find ways to hopefully get around it, and up until version 0.13.2 I had been able to do so with only slight difficulty. My means of doing this was to either, A: start a new game on version 0.11.0, skip to the part where the gender swap occurs, change Zoey’s appearance to have black hair and red eyes (the default), save, close the game, and load the save in the new version; or B: open and close the menu and sprite viewer repeatedly until, seemingly at random, Zoey’s appearance would return to the default setting, at which point I could simply return to the game and she would look the way she’s supposed to.
If I would open the menu at any point in the game after fixing it, regardless of whether or not I had opened the sprite viewer, Zoey would return to having pink hair and purple eyes, and I would have to repeat the process again. Sometimes, her appearance would also revert simply by progressing through dialogue, or during a transition where her outfit would change, or after a cutscene in which her character sprite ceases to be on the screen momentarily, though repeated testing on my part could not yield consistent results as far as when it would happen during any of these.
I took a break from this game for awhile so I could return to it with fresh eyes after y’all had expanded upon it, but when I tried version 0.16.1 the problem persisted. And while method A still works for returning Zoey to her default appearance, method B does not. Being as A is the more difficult and less applicable of my two methods, this presents an obvious problem when Zoey’s appearance inevitably shifts back to pink hair and purple eyes.
I am unsure what might be the cause of this glitch, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that I have two copies of the game installed at any given time? If you happen to have any insight into this, I’d be very appreciative if you could share it with me.
I really, REALLY like this game, and even if I can’t resolve this issue I’ll probably keep playing anyway just because the story is so well written. It goes so far above and beyond what I’ve come to expect of hentai VNs, let alone VNs for such a niche category as Gender Swapping, so I really can’t give enough praise as far as quality goes. Thank you for making this game, and I really look forward to playing the final product at some point down the line.
I'll look into it in the morning, but delete the persistent file from Users/<USER>/AppData/Roaming/RenPy folder (and possible the rest of the reDreamer files if that doesn't work). Old saves are usually not meant to be reloaded, hence the jump menu at the title that jumps ahead to build new saves based on the variables from choices you have made.
How big is the android app itself, because my apk installer won't install it
2 GB, but you need about 3 times that to install
