I'm currently working on my custom battle system! So far so good, the only issue is that HP healing updates HP hearts only after the enemy attacks the player. No clue how to fix it yet, but I'll try! I'll record a video of the battle system once I'm done with the graphics and bug fixing! Before that I'd like to just say that's the battle system is pretty easy, so don't worry about spending half an hour clearing them. Also, the playable characters are Darek and Agatka :D I didn't draw Agatka's sprites for the battles yet tho

Old vs New art: Main menu

Why was it changed:

The original main menu was drawn back in 2020 in Ibis paint. For some reason, the final drawing turned out just a bit blurry. I'm not sure why, but it had to be fixed;

Originally the game was called just "Dreaming", but now it's "Dreaming isn't bad";

New font + "Reminisce" instead of "Continue dream" because the buttons took too much space(It's not shown on the picture, but originally instead of highlights, there were arrows pointing at active buttons);

Character silhouettes are now clearer;

Black was changed to dark blue-purple to achieve softer look.

Happy 2024!

Thank you all so much for your support during 2023! I'm extremely happy with how much progress I've made. From animated cut scenes to a whole battle system!

I hope I'll keep working hard in 2024 too and finally finish the demo. Stay tuned! 🎇

Happy Halloween 👻👻👻

Several people have told me that Darek's hair on the top looks like horns, so he's a mischievous demon boy for Halloween 😈🎃

As for Agatka, she likes horror and has a teddy bear plushie. So I've decided to combine the two and you can see the result 🐻🎃

Fun fact: there's a message in Morse code hidden in the pictures 👀

A bit off-topic but if I had a coin every time a teddy bear plushie turned into a bloodthirsty monster in media I'd be a millionaire jkhjhk /hj

#happy halloween #dinb off topic #dinb darek #dinb agatka #cw blood #cw fake blood #I hope I've tagged it properly but if not please let me know #also idk the morse code 100% I just used a website. if it's incorrect I'm sorry. the hidden message is just a meme tho

Battle system

Check description for more info :> Since the video was recorded, I've edited the system a bit + added one more battle, but that HP not updating until enemy attacks thing is still here :'0 no clue how to fix it Also I rewrote dialogues a bit but I'd prefer not to post it(yet) cuz spoilers Prologue is about 80% done I think? I just need to draw and redraw a few illustrations and finish one event(which requires +-3 drawings?)

I've also tried to "speedrun" the game so far and it took a bit less than 30 minutes(it excluded side content and included me using an item to teleport). I believe if you take your time the prologue could take an hour or more(depending on how curious you are) :>

To-do list(October 2023)

Notes: This list includes everything that needs to be done for the demo to be finished(No spoilers). It's impossible for me to do it all in one month, since I have a lot of other work too. Everything that I didn't do this month(and maybe some more things) will be included in the next month's to-do list.

In the end of October I'll reblog this post with everything that I did in a month in details.

Character sprites:

Update already existing character sprites according to latest redesigns;

Delete all unused/placeholder sprites;

Illustrations and animations:

Finish chapter 1 cut scenes;

Update already existing illustrations according to latest characters redesigns;

Replace placeholder pictures with finished illustrations;

BGM & SE:

Edit volume of some BGM & SE;

Make/Find more BGM and/or SE if needed;

Text:

Rewrite and/or add some scenes for already existing events;

Continue writing chapter 1;

Other:

Old vs New art: Darek (after intro) illustration

Why was it changed:

The colors didn't match actual sprites in the original picture(Bunny plushie is too orange, bed headboard(?) is too light + wrong colors, etc.);

Wall pattern in the illustration didn't match the actual wall pattern in game;

Pillow was too big. Yes, that's one of the reasons;

I'm not sure how to explain it properly, but the body just looked weird in the old drawing??;

Black bars on top and bottom of the screen now match the ones used in the prologue(intro) cut scene;

Darek is now a bit closer to the camera because it allows for more details to be drawn.

DiNB update - world maps added

World maps can be accessed using the tablet on the balcony of Darek's house and the tablet at the Center(seen in the video)

Other than that, I've been also working on redrawing old illustrations. Are you interested in seeing old vs new illusts + reasons why I've redrawn them kind of posts? So far there are... technically 4? illustrations that had been changed. (But if we count sprites than there will be way more than 4 *cries*)
