To give my opinion about this, I spoke with a creator in the KK community once, mainly because I wanted to use his work to enhance a scene in my game. He was actually very happy to know that I was interested in his material, and was totally fine with me using it.

The KK creators actually wants their scenes to be used. That's why they are sharing them with the community...

That being said, I don't know if Shli asked permission before using someone else's work, but if he didn't, I would recommend asking next time. Some people might be against sharing their scene for something related to an adult game. Or be against the themes in your game. Of course, that's just my personal opinion; there's no hard rule here as far as I know...
Indeed, you're right about creators who don't want their art used in porn content even if I'm more familiar with that regarding non copyrighted music.

KK being an ero game at first is less prone to that but asking is the right thing to do yeah. I should pay more attention to that in the future.

This might only be a problem in the compressed version, but "archivesiconmain.png" and "archivesiconmainhover.png" are missing, so the last two main quests can't be completed.

As promised, here is a fix.
Just decompress the zip archive in the root folder of Dreamland Wanderer

First time playing this, but I downloaded the Compressed version and noticed that some animations don't play? Like Barbara's two scenes for instance. They just keep talking over the scene with the previous still being displayed, until it's over and the still changes.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll upload a second fix in a bit...

Done, fixed it, links from the front page are up to date.
Sorry for that bug.

I sware, next time a bug will occur in that damned compressed version I might go seppuku...

Hey Cedroc.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate and most importantly, you enjoyed my small piece of work and that's what matters the most!

There's a reason you can't get Illusion rendered games on Steam. There's a serious question of who owns the material, and it most likely isn't the artist. Don't get me wrong, I'd never share something like that without the original artists permission, but I don't see how asking permission is anything other than a courtesy when we're dealing with images technically not owned by the artist who made them. Besides that people get way too onerous about this stuff here considering it's literally a piracy forum.
Don't see how Shli did anything wrong here at all tbh.

Hum, I forgot about the whole shit about KK and all Illusion Soft engines content creation being banned from Steam.
I mean, Illusion teams must well know today that their softs are being used by thousands to create porn game so, instead of releasing a sunshine steam version, why they just don't admit it and open the sales of KK, HS and HS outside of Japan for rendering purpose?
There must have been a reason, it's still sad to have to use a community/pirated version tho...

Even if you're using the official release from what I understand it isn't licensed in a way that the artist playing the game owns their creation. It's why we don't see any KK/HS AVNs coming out of Japan.
You own your script, if you do any official translations then you also own that. Unless Renpy has a fucked up licensing agreement then you also own any code you write. Graphics all technically belong to Illusion though.

Can get KKP, HS2, Kanojo and Shoujo AI on steam but you can't use them to make a game for Steam. They're also more censored on the official Steam releases than they are in Japan or with our priated copies. I remember a massive outrage a couple years ago when they updated Koikatsu Party on Steam so you couldn't make lolis anymore lol.
It's probably a good thing that they don't expand beyond the bare minimum offering though. If they took our market more seriously then they'd probably also be more sue crazy in the west and that'd pretty well kill our indie AVN industry outside of Daz projects.

Wow, Lucy Maud Montgomery quote, you don't expect to see quotes in a porn game very often by the author of Anne of Green Gables...
On a weirder note, I have been in LMM's house a couple of times, there is a haunted forest next door but the strangest thing is the entire estate is surrounded in mesh screens because it is basically wrapped in a Golf Course and the screens are to keep tourists from getting killed by errant golf balls...

My country has a weird way of honouring historical things, before you know it, Margaret Atwood's block has been rezoned and her house is sandwiched between a Tim Hortons & a Roots Store in the parking lot of a Canadian Tire...

imagine spending time sculpting the goodest of boy and an outrageously cute love interest, just to poison their game with the scourge that is gachatrash. forget the nuclear bombs and the cannibal cultists, this is the real tragedy of the dreamland-verse.

Hello there,

Thank you very much for this complete and constructive feedback!
Indeed, my IRL mood changed between the first and second chapter of the game so I guess that could partly explain the change of tone in the story. Besides, I chose to make DW an adult game also because I thought more people will get enticed to try it for the "plot" and stay because of the "real plot". The downside of this choice is that, I can't allow myself to make the game more of a slow burn than it already is so I settled on making the real "adventure" begin after

Finally, thank you also for your kind final words! That's what makes me keep investing that much time into something that's just started as a hobby.

I know your patrons especially will disagree since it takes resources away from the lewds, but I would suggest softening the intro to reflect the shift in tone. First impressions and all that, as the saying goes.
I can't allow myself to make the game more of a slow burn than it already is
I personally don't mind slow-burning main LI routes since players are already juggling events from two worlds, though I will say
