JUNE DEVLOG

June DEVLOG time for OMORI THE DREAMER and...some big things have happened.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

In even more contrast to prior optimism, it seems the entire DREAMER release timeline will be overhauled. Due to the size of the story, the assets that relies on other's to complete, and the large amount of new assets far outweighing the amount in the PRELUDE...

From now on, we will be following a "CHAPTER BY CHAPTER", or in accordance to DREAMER's naming conventions, a "BOOK BY BOOK" release schedule. So, instead of waiting for the entire game to come out and getting overloaded with way too much content, books will be released in this sequence; BOOK 1 - KEL BOOK 2 - AUBREY BOOK 3 - HERO BOOK 4 & 5 - BASIL + ???

The final release of Book 4 & 5 will be the entire game. Each new release will include the chapters before, and save files will carry over. I believe this will be better overall for development, and for you guys to experience the story without being overwhelmed. The current plan is for BOOK 1 to release in the fall, and for BOOK 2 to release before the end of the year. I want this project completed in 2026, and with the additional time, hopefully everything will be at a higher quality. The narrative was already built in this book by book format, so nothing is actually changing besides release dates!

I'm sorry if this is frustrating to hear, but I'm confident this is better overall for both players and definitely for the team. We are not in development hell–people just have actual lives and are not being paid to work on this, so it can't be a priority. Still, the goal is a timely release schedule, with each book getting its own release trailer. I hope you can still look forward to the releases ^^

PROGRESS (BOOK ONE):

Due to the time of the year and a certain game releasing, a lot of the team was busy. Progress significantly slowed, but will hopefully pick back up again. Unfortunately, I cannot help with tile-set creation as it's outside of my wheelhouse (though I'll do my best to learn in the future!) so that team has a lot of pressure on them to handle SECTION TWO tile-sets on their own. Hopefully in the future I can help carry the burden. For now, it'll take as long as it needs to to avoid stress, but hopefully the internal deadlines can still be met!

Music is coming along amazing, and once again, there is going to be a large soundtrack coming with the chapter. Lots to see and lots to hear!

As of now, I'm making as much art and surrounding assets as I can while waiting for SECTION TWO to be ready for programming and writing. Progress is steady but certainly not at the breakneck pace it used to be. I got severely burnt out after continuing to work on THE DREAMER right after PRELUDE release and churning out SECTION ONE...but I am recovering! I'll bounce back passionately soon enough! I'm learning more and more how to rely on others and be patient with myself.

Battling is in the process of being overhauled and fixed up, and that will be available for the Book 1 release still!

For SECTION THREE, progress is also steady, though similarly significantly slowed. Still, nearly all maps are actively being mad, so it's looking very promising. Bug fixing still needs to happen for SECTION ONE, though...

CONCLUSION:

Wish us luck. A lot of luck. And for more pixel artists to sign up. This mod is on the right track and will certainly be completed! Just...at a more steady pace than originally assumed. On the bright side, that means you guys don't have to wait as long for more of THE DREAMER! Yay!

I don't know why, but the moment when Sunny uses the confetti during the treasure hunt part in OTD, only because Omori wanted it and had this big smile.. It was really endearing

Thank you for 8000 downloads on The Dreamer PRELUDE! Enjoy this new concept art as celebration!

This is based on old OMORI concept art. Do you recognize which one?

MAY DEVLOG

It's time for the MAY DEVLOG for OMORI THE DREAMER mod! There's a lot to talk about and then a lot that cannot be talked about (spoilers are difficult...)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

In contrast to last DEVLOG's optimism, it has become apparent that the end of year release date likely won't be met. Being fully honest, this is because the team just isn't big enough. There's amazing people who signed up, but in regards to map tileset and sprite artists, there's simply not enough people, and since this is a passion project, nobody will be pushed beyond what they want to do, so development has slowed out of consideration.

This is a good thing! Quality will be prioritized more in certain areas now. I also need to slow down for a variety of reasons, so overall it'll be a healthier pace, but people will need to wait a little longer. No new release date will be announced, since it's currently uncertain. (Of course, it will not be OMORI's development cycle, since everything is planned out already and organized. It's simply making sure nobody is being rushed or pushed!) Most probably a 2026 release, though. Just wanted to be fully transparent about what's going on!

PROGRESS (BOOK ONE):

It's hard to explain in more detail due to a large part of the mod still being hidden. Because of this, I'll break down each book into "SECTIONS" when talking about them.

SECTION ONE is completed and playable, from writing, to music, to new assets and art, and is being tested. This is around two hours of gameplay, if seeing everything.

SECTION TWO is currently in the asset creation stage, and will be the heaviest on new assets, so most time consuming. Everything is progressing beautifully though, and i'm sure everyone will be very surprised by the results! The team is working hard! Some writing is in progress, but until certain asset creation, most writing is completely halted. Music is both being made and partially in pending while waiting for writing. Portrait art is in progress, while cutscene art creation has not begun.

SECTION THREE is both in asset creation and partial programming stage! Music and general creation is happening, but the writing is mostly in full stop until SECTION TWO is complete.

PRELUDE UPDATES:

After release, some nice additions have been added to the PRELUDE visually. More bugs have also been ironed out, and some things slightly adjusted for the full release. Also, battling is being overhauled, in the sense that skills and balancing as well as the moves of the enemies are being fixed by someone who actually understands OMORI battle programming! Hopefully this will make for a more enjoyable battling experience in the full version.

CONCLUSION:

Although it's a bit sad the initial launch is likely impossible, internal deadlines will keep up, and the goal is still to release "as soon as possible". The slight slow down will hopefully overall create a better mod! Of course, it would be wonderful if more people who know how to create tilesets and sprite art sign up, but even if not, the current team will still do their best, and they are very very amazing!

Wish us luck on continued development!

Omori the Dreamer cosplay!!! I love this mod so so much and I wanted to make the sweater the dreamer wears because it looks so cozy. I didn’t make a v neck because I don’t like wearing them but other than that I tried to be true to the source material :D
