re:DreamerA downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
- The Mom Route has 2 new long scenes: Zoey coming out to her mom the morning after cracking (both a Trans 5 and Trans "therapy" answer requirement), and Zach's eggshell taking damage after his mom confesses her secret about him yet still loving her and wanting to help her (either a "therapy" answer not Cis or Trans >= 3 requirement). There's a fourth variant to how Zach responds to this news that needs to be written still (along with the rest of the route), but I kind of had my life become extremely stressful lately and didn't have the mental health to focus on fiction when my own life is changing so much (I'm literally coming out to my parents in 2 hours). The writing here is still good (especially in the coming out scene), but it has a noticeably stronger "wish fulfillment" tone to it as I was struggling with anxious thoughts of my own mom accepting me as her daughter (she won't) and treated a bit of it as a therapeutic way to collect my own thoughts and anxieties and to give Samantha some of the lines I dream my own mom would say (but still with that Samantha twist to it).
- You can now skip the second half of the Day 1 Introduction's psychology lecture via a clearly-labeled menu choice. Beyond that, the Day 1 intro lecture got trimmed with Awkwardness >= 4, again. I am not doing this again, and I am sick of being yelled at for this part existing.
- Fixed issues with a text with Ai breaking on Keisuke Day 2.
- The engine has been updated to Ren'Py 8.1, meaning things like old saves will probably break.
- Fixed some wonky unintentional behavior caused by exiting the sprite viewer screen under very specific conditions.
- Tweaked the one line in the world information entry about autogynephilia to say that Zach's interpretation of its definition is different, not that the world of the VN uses a different definition.
- The file structure for the Mom Route is now better organized, but saves will not be compatible. Use the Story Jump menu on the title to get to Samantha starting to tell her son-turned-daughter a secret she had been excepting to hide for the rest of her life.
- A few minor corrections to C.H.E.A.T.S. branching in Britney's route on Day 3.
- Zoey's loosened compression bra now works with the T-shirt.
- I fixed the clock in Zach's room being an hour behind. The hour hand also increments in fractions based on the minute, like real clocks.
- A fix for Zoey's bra not being taken off in the full repression branch of the Mom Route.
- Fixed an issue with the long hair with bangs breaking the tattered hoodie outfit.
- Fixed a bug with text interpolation in the Keisuke brat taming bed scene. This might have just been from the new Ren'Py engine update so who knows if anyone ever actually experienced it?
- The sultry font Z and Samantha use is now adjusted for better line spacing compatibility with the rest of the fonts.
- A few typo fixes, mostly in the Mom Route, World Information entries, and Keisuke Day 1 between the start of the mirror examination HCG and the start of the showers, but I got a lot of them reported this update period.
