This is the best story-driven game I've ever played. The developer of this masterpiece, I would give you all the money to continue this game if I had it :(. I hope that very soon 0.4 will become free so that I can continue to admire this masterpiece.
The update is very big, that's the only reason , sorry for the silence, I wasn't confident about my English, but now I'm a little bit better I want to create developer notes more often. Thanks.
If you want, I can proofread your dev notes for you before you post them. My replies might take a while since I tend to be rather busy, but I check my messages at least once a day.
it's all good I'm honestly glad I'm wrong. I've gotten to the point to where I check because of how often I get invested into a game to find out that it's not being worked on anymore. So I'm sorry if my comment was a little careless.
Really enjoyed the content in the game so far, but didnt know when the next update may be? No rush at all but i couldnt find anything on the patreon or on here so figured id ask
I downloaded this game coz i was feelin horny and holy shit this left an amazing impression on me. Towards the end i wasnt only playing for nsfw but i was mainly playing coz of how good the psychological horror was like GOD DAMN BRUH
So far I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit. Here’s a few highlights, after playing v0.3.
The game is great at pulling your emotional strings. The intro song is beautiful, the creepy scene makes you feel uncomfortable, “I have a degree in Psychology and I couldn’t figure her out” makes you laugh, Natsumi accepting herself is heartwarming. It’s currently light on H content but I understand that it’s an early version.
I like the MC’s lack of self-control. It plays well with the VN genre, where the players themselves have such a weak control over the actions of the MC.
Is Nova a hallucination? Is she real? I love how well this plays with the protag’s issues.
The user interface is visually cluttered, and I feel like most buttons there could be merged. In my humble opinion, something like this would work well:
Visual indicator of the time of the day at the top right. Clicking it should skip time (so you don’t need to go to the bed for that.) It’s where most interface elements are.
Day of the week right below that indicator.
Map button right below the above. It would be great if its menu allowed you to go to a specific room/area of the uni/house, without relying on that bottom “window” to do so.
Quest button right below it.
“Engine” button below it. Clicking it would bring up a menu with the following tabs: settings; save game; load game; history, including a “memories” button; and the current contents of the lotus menu. Pressing Esc could bring this menu up, on the last tab, so you’d get more visibility for your links (“rate this game”, Discord channel, etc.) Keyboard shortcuts for each tab would be really nice.
“Back”, “auto” and “skip” buttons. Or dunno, they could be placed inside the menu above, they could be included into the “settings” tab of the menu proposed above.
This is based on playing the game from a computer but, if the mobile interface is similar, I believe that it would improve it too (since space is at premium on a phone screen). Specially because the art of the game is pretty, so the least amount of things between you and the art, the better.
Hey! Lovely channel you have there! This is the first time that I have seen a YouTube gameplay of Broken Dreams, I'm crying right now :´) I love the way you support indie devs, please keep going🤍
I dont get it. After finishing 0.3.1 version, i didnt saw content with Hana in the Gym, i didnt saw content with Kaede on a beach which was on screnshoot, and i didnt saw "Free Mod" any "Mini games" and other stuff which you said about on "0.3 news" post. Did free version is cropped or i misunderstanding something ? Btw, 0.3.1 version have only 2 chapter. So its cropped version ? And full version of chapter 3 is about 0.3.9 ?
And, dont you thought about create account on boosty, so ppl could buy subscription from Russia or others countries under sanctions ? Ofc, if its worth it, otherway i will understand if u dont. Just wanna continue but cant subscribe on patreon :() Not toxic, just asking. Game amazing anyway, even if i didnt touch my pencil all time, its still like watching interesting anime. Hope 0.4 free version will be released soon, cuz i dont know how to get it without buying patreon subscription and overpay for transaction :q
After one year of development, I had to make several changes to the game, one of them was writing a story more linear and interesting, the original idea was adding a bunch of events for each girl with every new update, leaving the player the possibility of exploring and rising their relationships with the girls at their own pace, and right now, I can't handle such amount of work for so many reasons, the most important one: I'm doing this game all alone, with extra help for specific tasks of course, but at the end of the day, all the work lays on my shoulders, so I had to bet for more story events in between of important events.
Now, the 0.3.1 version has the beginning of chapter 3 already, and I didn't cut any content, the only difference is that you can play the newest version being a Patreon member.
Sadly, I can not offer more payment methods right now because I don't want to risk the security and privacy of my future clients, nevertheless, if I find a good option, I'm adding it for sure.
And lastly, I can not sell the game on Itch.io. People think they are buying the full game with all future updates, and that's not true, that's why I can't offer the game here, I'm risking the game from being banned from the platform, and obviously, I don't want that.

Should I feel bad for hating the principal?
Apparently itchio is not exactly safe eh
What do you mean, my friend?
Show post...
"I have a degree in Psychology and I couldn't figure her out" is the funniest line from any game I've heard in a long time! This is such a great game.
XD
Glad to know you enjoyed it, my friend 🤍
I'm gonna play more of this. I like the supernatural element of the game, and want to see how it ties in to the MC's story.
