wondering if sandbox elements are more utilized in 0.4
I absolutely love the story, but the "sandbox" seems to just add annoyance rather than any form of freedom. So far (as far as i could tell) the story seems to be just a direct line with no offshoots.
Its not really a sandbox when your option is "sleep", "aimlessly move around different locations with no interactions", or "go to objective". Also rather unimmersive in that i some how was 1 day off of the required day and just had to sleep for like 6 days straight. Maybe it is immersive though - would explain why the principal hates us so much when we dont show up to work for 4 days and actually on 4th day all we do is go meet someone at a location and leave...
My advice (if this is still how it works in the more current versions) would be to just drop the "sandbox" . It only serves currently to detract from the amazing story.
When Broken Dreams was a prototype it was focused more on a Sandbox experience and the plan was to add events for every girl, but when the game came out, with the good reception of the story, I opted for making a good story instead of content for each girl individually, so, this is a reality that I'm trying to fix, the 0.5 is focusing on trying to fix a few of these problems and adding little by little more life to the sandbox part, if in the end, I don't like the results, I'm gonna delete the sandbox part for a while.
It's sad for me because I wanted to maintain the sandbox to add more immersion to the story and I see it end up provoking the opposite effect on the players, but of course, I'm thinking of a solution.
You'd think this is just another sandbox/visual novel H Game, but it isn't. Heavily recommended to those who want a wholesome story, with the added of the genre.
Very well done Dev dude, I'm looking forward to more of your productions.
I wouldnt call it wholesome. I know why you do - but it just feels wrong. Its more of a pseudo-horror story but with an arc of overcoming the suffering or past trauma.
Still fully agree its amazing and I'm excited to see more
🤍Thank you for your kind words If we reach 1000 patrons we will work hard, and if not, we will work hard too, this is a game made with love and the support is the result of doing things with passion, we are quite happy with the public acceptance even if we are not in the first places 🤍 Our work and destiny will determine the future of Broken Dreams, always trying to bring quality content.
I think getting her fired would be the best option because straight up she does not deserve her job her entire goal Is to fuck up MC life even though overtime he’s been changing and becoming a better person
This game made me forget this is a porn game,usually when you see a porn game your expectations for it is usually 0 when it comes to the story,like when you play a porn game it is usually just,you talk to the women,then few slides later,your raw dogging the characters,like you have sex with the characters without even knowing much about them.
However,broken dreams is nothing like that,in 0.1 you basically get to know more about the MC,which makes u kinda bond with him and understand him abit,then 0.2,you meet more characters,
You get to know each of the girls personality,which makes it more interesting and makes you bond with them as well,it also dosent rush the sex scenes or fan service scenes,in 0.3 it is focused on one character which is...||natsumi|| you get to know more about her past and why she behaves the way she currently is,and it also puts the mc's psychology skills to use,which at the end,makes it end well and kinda Wholesome as well. The graphics is also amazing.
The part where it ended when Natsumi finally felt like she was beautiful and accepted because of the mc was the cherry on top for finishing this version of the game, looking forward for the next update.
congratulations!!! i wasn't expecting a game with such emotional payload, it reminded me why i'm studying psychology, at this it doesn't matter if it' s a h game or not because the game is really good on its own. 10/10 Game congrats dev.
I love the character development these two characters have in this update! I can't wait for 0.4 <3
Great work man, hope to see you and your work improve more with lots of love! Oh, and I hope you're doing well since my heart dropped when I saw that you dropped out of college, and I was concerned for you. I hope that you're not overworking yourself with your game, take breaks and always have fun making this with lots of passion and love <3
Thank you for this wonderful game, Biggering! Will definitely wait for the next update.
Thank you so much for your words and your concern, my friend, I'm very happy because many people are starting to see the game more in-depth, and creating relatable characters I think it's the most important part, I can't believe how far this game has traveled around the world, I didn't expect so much support, and this is just the beginning and a good lesson for staying focused. I'll take your advice, mental health is very crucial, so... thank you! And that's everything I could say for now, the next update is already under development, as you said... always with love 🤍
I love the game and I just became a $2 patron. The patreon says under each tier that all tiers will have access to the current version of the game, but when I click the link to download version 0.4, it prompts me to upgrade to the $15 tier. Am I missing something, or do only $15 patrons actually have access to the current version of the game? If this is the case, you should definitely indicate as much on your patreon since it currently says the opposite.
Oh, my apologies, when you create a Patreon page you need to add at least one reward for each tier, and I added the: "patrons are one update ahead of the public version" reward to every tier to be able to save all my changes, I'll check it out right now, I'm doing changes to my Patreon page due to the new update.
To summarize:
-$15+ Patrons receive the update first.
-$10 Patrons receive the update one week later
-$5 Patrons receive the update two weeks later
Sorry for my error, I'll give you a refund if you want, just send me a message on Patreon for confirmation.
Also, personally I'd like the opportunity to mind break the d*** principle. The way she treats the MC, honestly WAS justified UNTIL deactivating his insurance. This will be a straight up hate f***ing. Lmao. Don't think I'm alone either lol
This game is genuinely amazing. I sunk a few hours into it and was hooked. This is a very story driven game with cute characters and fantastic writing. The horror aspect was also unnerving too. Can't wait to see it flourish.
You game is my heaven firts time i see this game i thought is gona like another H game but is not,is make me so relax after i study and also you game story so good is make can't stop playing,i hope you game gona famous soon if you game hatter chat don't care about that just thing the dog bark hold you breath and slown down expiratory don't so stress and keep you work,have a great day (if you can inv me again in your discore after i got kick so pls inv me)
Sorry if it was a misunderstanding with the versions at some point, to make it simple, patrons are one update ahead, so, from now on a new release for patrons equals a free version available too.
In the usual style of itch.io's renpy VNs, where 80% of the time you're just clicking through locations to find what you're supposed to do, even tho there's only one thing to do. It's even more irksome in this story because the plot and narrative literally revolves around the protagonist losing agency, and so the player also has very little agency, despite having to follow along with the rather linear plot. I'm nearly an hour into this, and the main character just annoys me.
PS, since when is it illegal for a teacher to play video games with a student???? In what country???? This is what I'm saying—the MC just whines for no other reason than to whine, even when his whining makes no sense.
If you hate the MC, then I accomplished my principal goal. I can't reveal more information about future parts of the story, so nobody can see what I'm planning just yet, is completely fine if you don't like the story, it's not for everyone, that's for sure, thank you for giving the game a try anyway, and one more thing, remember the MC is not a teacher, he's a psychologist, you expect a psychologist to be more professional when it comes to helping people, their principles are closer to a medic than a teacher.
Yeah, I played the game to the (current) end. I can see how the MC can improve over time, I just find him too whiney. And yeah, he's not a teacher, but a psychologist, but I still don't think there's really any legal issue there. Even ethically, it's not so bad. If the patient needs someone else to play video games with them to keep them faithful to a sleep schedule, getting a friend to be that person would be ideal, but there's nothing wrong with the psychologist taking that role if there isn't really a better option.
Probably, being a friend to the patient could be a good idea, but at least in the story context, he's not worried because of the action, he's worried for go any further with her, don't forget he's pretty new to advising people, so, he doesn't even know what is illegal or not, he's just guessing at that point.
Bro just big googoo gaga bitch to MC in 18+ games thats funny, in what country he said god please save him 😂 ITS A FUCKING VIDEO GAMES STUPID, even your whining didnt make any sense too
I just finished playing the current public version and it was really great. I was surprised with the amount and quality of content for such an early version. I can't wait to see more of this game and hopefully can support the project in the future.

I see the Patreon for this game is growing fast and steadily. Hope the game reaches more than 1,000 patreons soon by the end of the year.
🤍Thank you for your kind words

You and your team's work is one of the best I have ever seen in a visual novel. Keep up the great work. :)
The principal is such a bitch. Please tell me we do something to put her in her place 😈😈😈
👀
I think getting her fired would be the best option because straight up she does not deserve her job her entire goal Is to fuck up MC life even though overtime he’s been changing and becoming a better person
I created this account just to comment. The game is superb. Ik it's just starting but I can see that the story will be better on the upcoming updates.
Fr no cap if you conpleted the story and you remove the hentai parts it can be a legit good anime.
Damn. This is the only game that I trully enjoyed even though it's just starting
Thank you so much 🤍
How long do these updates come by on average?
That's hard to answer because new mechanics are being added with every version, so, right now I don't have a specific answer, sorry.
That's alright, hope you and your team continue making this wonderful game and be successful. Have a good day. :)
i've been looking for the new update can't wait story 10/10

This game exceeded my expectations.
5 stars.
this games name is pretty ironic because my dreams were broken when the download didn't work
:C
We have alternative download methods if you need them.
The part where it ended when Natsumi finally felt like she was beautiful and accepted because of the mc was the cherry on top for finishing this version of the game, looking forward for the next update.
One of my favorite parts of the game so far, based on a true story 👀
It would be a good idea for people to buy the game without joining the patrons so they get 0.4 update
I'll consider that possibility, my friend.
congratulations!!! i wasn't expecting a game with such emotional payload, it reminded me why i'm studying psychology, at this it doesn't matter if it' s a h game or not because the game is really good on its own. 10/10 Game congrats dev.
Glad to know you enjoyed the game, my friend!

Came here to jerk off and ended up trapped on the game 10/10 good history

Thanks for the response! No need for a refund, I may honestly just upgrade my tier anyway since I love the content:)
Also, personally I'd like the opportunity to mind break the d*** principle. The way she treats the MC, honestly WAS justified UNTIL deactivating his insurance. This will be a straight up hate f***ing. Lmao. Don't think I'm alone either lol
Cant wait for next update and more content
the horror parts are... quite nerve wrecking, play at your own risk... tags for this game: horror, psychological horror, (weak) nudity
What a game, can't wait for 0.4
Thank you 🤍
Will 0.3 become free to the public?
Yes, this Friday.
Thank you for the reply
The question is why there is no free version 0.3 yet, because it's already Saturday
I know... Details, my friend, don't worry, the update will be out today.
watching spy x family on the tv lmao
When is the next release?
What kinks are in this game?
in the free version (the only one ive played) there is only one naked scene and its just peeping, so currently, none
This game is genuinely amazing. I sunk a few hours into it and was hooked. This is a very story driven game with cute characters and fantastic writing. The horror aspect was also unnerving too. Can't wait to see it flourish.
Indeed it is
You game is my heaven firts time i see this game i thought is gona like another H game but is not,is make me so relax after i study and also you game story so good is make can't stop playing,i hope you game gona famous soon if you game hatter chat don't care about that just thing the dog bark hold you breath and slown down expiratory don't so stress and keep you work,have a great day (if you can inv me again in your discore after i got kick so pls inv me)

For sure, there will be NSFW scenes in version 0.4, which isn't released yet... even for patrons. You'll have to wait more.
All right thanks
The next free update will be uploaded very very soon, just needs some time...
Not to worry everyone, Biggs (the developer) and the dev team are actively working hard everyday and developing the next updates to come.

When the 0.4 comes out for patrons, late May to be precise.
Oh I thought it was coming out today.
Sorry if it was a misunderstanding with the versions at some point, to make it simple, patrons are one update ahead, so, from now on a new release for patrons equals a free version available too.

It will be available for free soon! I just need to finish a few things for the 0.4 version, thank you for your patience.
I just finished playing the current public version and it was really great. I was surprised with the amount and quality of content for such an early version. I can't wait to see more of this game and hopefully can support the project in the future.
