My True Desire - 2026 Roadmap & Future Plans (Patreon)

🥰 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.

Even though I wasn't able to meet some of the exact dates and plans originally laid out in this roadmap, I still think it's important to keep the community informed and provide at least some level of predictability, especially for those who support the project financially.

That experience also taught me that trying to predict development too precisely can create expectations that don't always reflect the reality of a solo project. Because of that, I've updated the roadmap to use much broader timeframes, while also being less specific about the exact content of future chapters.

The goal is still the same: to give everyone a clear idea of where the project is heading, but in a way that is more realistic and flexible.

🗺️ What You Should Expect Going Forward

First, let's talk about the overall direction of development.

In an ideal scenario, my main focus will be on major story updates:

❌ No reworks

❌ No DLCs

❌ No specials

✅ Main story chapters

There will still be patches and smaller updates between major releases, of course, whether to fix issues, improve existing features, or make smaller adjustments.

But from this point forward, my main development focus is creating new story content and moving the main game forward.

⚙️ Technology, Systems & Mechanics

From a technical and mechanics point of view, a lot of what was originally planned for this roadmap has already been completed:

📸 The Gallery System was implemented

🎨 The game's UI received several updates and improvements

🎥 Some chapters introduced unique mechanics for specific situations

🏆 An Achievements System was implemented

🔁 A Replay System was added

✨ Several visual effects and presentation improvements were introduced

⚙️ Many quality-of-life improvements and new options were added throughout the game

Some of these QoL additions include things like smart buttons, new shortcuts, controller-related settings and controls, interface improvements, and other small changes designed to make the game more comfortable and intuitive to play.

There are still systems and features I'd like to explore in the future, including things I mentioned before, such as:

🔊 Voice implementation for small reactions

📱 The Instachat app

However, these are not tied to any specific chapter or release window, and there's also a chance they may ultimately not be implemented. I believe we're already approaching the halfway point of the game, and neither of these features feels essential enough to become a development priority right now.

That said, they're still ideas I'm considering and would like to explore if they make sense for the project later on.

🔥 Future Chapters

Now we've already moved past Chapter 06, which introduced a new level of depth to some of the fetishes and situations explored in the game.

The themes and exact content of the next chapters haven't been completely defined yet. A lot of ideas naturally appear and evolve throughout development, so I've learned not to lock myself too tightly into specific concepts too early.

But one thing is certain:

These chapters will continue to focus less on heavy storytelling and more on action, if you know what I mean. 😏

I also still want to step away from the everyday routine from time to time and take the characters into new situations, events, outfits, locations, and different outings.

This gives me much more freedom to create dynamic scenes, fresh interactions, and experiences we haven't explored in the story yet.

At the moment, the next chapter is planned for late 2026 or early 2027.

Unlike the previous version of this roadmap, I don't want to narrow that estimate down any further until development is advanced enough for me to do so with confidence.

❤️ 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!
