What's new though?

In this update? Mom route stuff. Check the

Awkward question, are there no plans to translate the game ?

I'm currently talking to a guy who says he wants to translate the game into Chinese, but I sincerely believe that the game is fundamentally untranslatable due to how I've coded its text substitution.

This is a particularly egregious example, but the game has several dozens (if not hundreds) of line variants based on piecemeal swapping of words and phrases.
English has a different syntax than most of the world's languages (being

). I could sort of see this game hypothetically getting an unofficial translation in another SVO language, but it'd require an utterly enormous amount of work with much of the code needing fixing for a game that isn't even finished yet and which could change large swathes of its text, thereby requiring re-translation.
In terms of "no plans" to translate the game ever... I'm highly skeptical that it could be done to a sufficient standard, but given that I refuse to use shitty machine or AI translation, I'd need someone who is both a translator and fluent in Python in addition to their other languages. Just a professional translator's lowball rate of $0.13 cents a word, just what is in the visual novel now would cost upwards of $65,000 to translate at a minimum, to say nothing of the fact that the more specialized work with having to adjust the code would skyrocket that price.

I was so excited for a new update, only to find out no new Keisuke content How much longer do we need to wait for more Keisuke???

(I'm glad the author is working on new Keisuke content tho, the new CG looks nice)

Working on it now. Fixing a plot hole in day 2 morning with sharper writing, but after that is either adding the mall bench sex cgs (and revised writing) or the pool sex (with brand-new writing).
That mentioned writing for day 2 is about 80% or more done,

The universe is telling me to take a rest and recover because I can barely be up for more than 4 hours at a time and I just feel foggy and generally awful. I'm taking what is basically medical leave for 2 weeks and the only work I'm allowing myself to do is forum and Patreon posts because any writing in the VN I try to force myself to do now is gonna be shit.

Very sad to hear, the premise and designs are very appealing, I was expecting this answer but still couldn't leave without at least asking.

Goodbye.

More female pov scenes would be absolutely incredible

I appreciate you replying and I wish you a steady and healthy recovery, cuz that sounds genuinely awful. Take your time to heal and take a step back, since I'm sure most of us (the sensible players eager for a new update) would rather wait a bit longer for higher quality updates, also particularly in the long run, doesn't help when the author/developer gets burnt out (from sickness, deadlines, stress etc) and slowly loses motivation for their work...

So with that said, do take care yourself! Hope you recover well

First of all, it has nothing to do with the game, but my respects for putting Nujabes as background music, the trivial facts of a made up game of a made up conflict didn't hold my attention much, but it was very interesting the psychology lecture afterwards, quite complete the information although I found the part about genes and siblings very redundant.

Although I can't help but wonder, wasn't this a porn game?

Yeah, but the context makes the porn hit harder.

I very much appreciate the phone conversation with the dad using music from Earthbound, since the dad in that game is also interacted with entirely over the phone.

Ayy, first person to actually comment on it!

Yeah, Zach's dad is deliberately meant to evoke that vibe. He's borderline autistic, jovial and easygoing to a fault, and despite being so distant from his son/daughter he tries to give him a bunch of pithy but contradicting advice. Both his presence and his absence go a long way to explaining why Zach is weird in the way he is, because despite how much Zach doesn't want to be like his mom, he is very much the child of his parents.

This is very disappointing, there are parts of the game that are unfinished which makes everything a mess, the endless dialogues are tolerable but having entire sections cut off is unforgivable, I'm out.

Literally the very first message you see upon starting the game is a disclaimer clearly labeling reDreamer as being an alpha and actively in development with scenes that are unfinalized. I think that word covers "missing" with the context of the game being a work in progress (or at least heavily implies it), but I can understand there being slight ambiguity in there being gaps in the story (which is why I'm rewording the second sentence to start with "It has many unfinalized, unfinished, or missing scenes...").
