Hey everyone! How’s everything going?
In this post, I want to share the updated roadmap for My True Desire for 2026 and talk a bit about my future plans.
I think it’s important to keep the community informed and bring at least some level of predictability, especially for those who support the project financially.
️ What You Should Expect for 2026
First, let’s talk about the overall outlook for the year.
In an ideal scenario, my goal is to release four major updates, meaning four new chapters:

• ❌ No reworks
• ❌ No DLCs
• ❌ No specials
• ✅ Only main story chapters

I consider this a realistic and achievable target, especially considering that last year we also had four main updates (Feb > May > Aug > Oct), with one of them being a remaster.
⚙ Technology, Systems & Mechanics
From a technical and mechanics point of view:

• Chapter 05 will introduce the gallery
• A UI update will also come with it
• Some future chapters will feature unique mechanics for specific situations
  (for example, a POV scene looking through a crack)

Aside from these, I don’t expect to add any system that affects the entire game, with two exceptions:

• Voice implementation (small reactions)
• Instachat app

Talking a Bit More About Chapter 05
In the previous roadmap, Chapter 05 was expected to release in January.
In this updated roadmap, I’ve moved it to February/March.
Why the change?
The reason is simple:
Chapter 05 will be the biggest chapter in My True Desire.
Because of that, the production time might be longer than I calculated.
“Might be?”
Yes… To be honest, I'm not totally sure.
To avoid reaching the end of January and having to delay the chapter at the last minute (and consequently delaying everything else), I decided to organize the entire year in advance, minimizing room for errors.
I know many of you are eager for Chapter 05, and this isn’t great news.
I'm really sorry for this.
✅ The Good News
There’s still a chance that Chapter 05 could be released in January.
I’ll work as hard as possible this month to finish it in January or deliver it by the first half of February. I know it’s not ideal to rush art, but honestly, March is out of the question for me.
Some people may ask:

“Why not split the chapter into two, then?”

If the last update hadn’t been a rework, I would probably do that. But unfortunately, in this situation, it wouldn’t be a good idea.
Even though the last major update was released just two months ago, many players feel like we haven’t had relevant new content since Chapter 04.
On top of that, many people chose not to play the rework.
Waiting five months to get half of a chapter would be pretty bad for those players.
Chapters 06, 07 & 08
I’m being honest here: I don’t have the themes for these chapters fully defined yet.
That said, there’s one thing I’m completely sure about.
These chapters will focus less on heavy storytelling and more on action, if you know what I mean.
I also want to step away from the everyday routine a bit and take the characters into new situations, events, outfits, and different outings.
This will allow for more dynamic scenes, fresh interactions, and experiences we haven’t explored in the story yet.
❤ Final Words
To wrap things up, I want to thank everyone who is supporting and following the project.
I’ll never stop saying this: without you, none of this would be possible. And know that despite the mistakes I may make along the way, I’m doing my best.
I’ll keep updating the roadmap throughout the year.
A big hug to everyone.
Have a great week, and see you soon!

Sad So I'll be away for a while, probably ep5 should arrive around February/March and if it's the same as ep4, I prefer to come back in 1 year so I'll have more content to play, but it was cool, I handed the game over to other games that didn't know MTD

When you said the next update would be a rework, I said we'd only get a new chapter in February or March (we were still at the beginning of September), apparently I was right.

2026 It's going to be a great year for My True Desire, patreon will explode

Sounds great! Any project is better when you have a realistic outline and a plan of where you're going to go.

Let's hope not, haha!

But yeah, initially I didn't imagine I would change so many things in the rework, nor that Chapter 05 would be so big. On top of that, I ended up losing a few weeks of work because of travel, the end of the year, etc

Even so, as I mention in the post, it's not worth rushing to finish it as fast as possible or doing something halfway. Chapter 05 is going to be amazing, and the wait will be worth it

Thanks, man! I wish more devs would post roadmaps, or something similar

Same. Just saying "this is what I plan to accomplish over the next several updates" is huge for those paying attention. Unfortunately, while I follow several small devs who do just that and are great with it, the few times I've seen bigger devs do it, they often....just vanish....like they bit off more than they could chew.

Any idea on how long till and Android update.

 

[Tenz00]

Guys how long is the game? 1 hour of gameplay maybe?

 

[Jdsiis]

I see that voice implementation is being added for small reactions. Any interest on adding AI voicework for the whole game as an option? I find I retain the story better when I'm reading and hearing it at the same time, so I like when games add AI voices. I know maybe not everyone does, so as an option would be cool.

It depends on how fast you read, whether you skip scenes and stuff like that, but I'd say around 2 hours

Man, that's an interesting idea. Honestly, I'd love to implement optional voices and dialogues with real voice actors, but I'm pretty sure that would be way too expensive, and unfortunately my current budget doesn't allow that... that's why I plan to implement just small reactions like 'Huh?', 'Eh?!-', 'Hey!', 'Bye!', 'Tch...', 'Hihi', 'Heh'...

I play on mute, but I understand that some people like it.

That's why I mentioned AI voice acting as real voice acting is expensive. There's some programs that you could run the script through that would read it. I think there's some that are free and they're decent. They wouldn't understand much in terms of emotion / tone etc, but they're a lot better than the built in Renpy reader.

Do consider AI voices for the dialogue. It can be pretty good, and at worst just a bit flat, but never terrible.

Listening to twenty year old TikTok thots (because that's what's affordable) with no life or sexual experience beyond their bedroom and their OnlyFans account trying to be seductive is some of the most boner killing things I've had the displeasure of listening to. The words they whisper, supposedly sultry and sexually confident, just reek of insecurity and tells the tale of a young lady still living at home who's trying not to alert the "landlord" or "landlady" to whatever she's up to, or how she actually earns money for rent.

I don't want it to come off as too harsh, because even seasoned actors and actresses had problems during the transition from silent movies to the new-fangled 'talkies' during the early 1930s. I know, because it happened to me, and it killed my career in Hollywood. Back in my day, movies were kind of like visual novel, having slides showing text and dialogue, but kinetic and a heck of a lot more animations!

Sorry I meant to version 4.5 android is still on version 4 according to the about screen within the game.

Seriously? Movies went from silent to talkies in the late 1920's and early 1930's. If that was "your day" then you must be well over the century mark. Congratulations on your endurance!!! Or maybe you're just a vampire doomed to eternally walk the earth....

The tag says swinging does this mean that the MC and Ana both have sex with other people as the swinging tag would imply that, or is it just Ana having sex with other men.

 

[:-Gordok "-"]

Looking forward to some good anal sex with Ana
