Hey guys! 💖

Today's post is going to be a long one. I'll be talking about some changes to the roadmap for My True Desire, a few Patreon improvements, Chapter 06, and a little bit about my personal life.

So grab some popcorn, a soda, and come with me! 🍿🥤

Roadmap Update:

First, I'll get straight to the bad news.

After thinking about it a lot, I decided to add one more month to the release schedule for the next MTD chapters, moving Chapter 06 to July, Chapter 07 to September/October, and Chapter 08 to December/January.

I know this isn't ideal. And honestly, the reason behind it isn't ideal either, because it isn't really a matter of not having enough time.

The truth is: I'm not doing very well.

I've always been a very active and disciplined person, but ever since the release of Chapter 03, more than a year ago, I started putting more and more time into the project while slowly neglecting other important areas of my life.

And over time, that started piling up.

I stopped taking proper care of my physical health, my mental health, my relationships, my routine, and a lot of other things that matter. These days, I wake up, grab a cup of coffee, and go straight into my "DTZ world," where I spend the entire day producing content for the game, studying ways to improve the project, planning updates, testing things, writing, generating images, fixing problems, and thinking about what comes next.

And then I go to sleep.

The result? I gained quite a few pounds, my relationship has been more stressful, my bad habits have been getting worse, my allergies have been acting up more and more, my anxiety has been much harder to deal with, I was sick for almost 15 days, and now my hair has even started falling out! 👴

So yeah... I think my body is trying to send me a message.

To avoid dragging this out too much, the moral of the story is simple: before taking care of the project, I need to take care of myself.

And right now, I'm failing at that.

So instead of staying up for the next few nights and rushing to finish the chapter at any cost, I'm going to do the opposite. I'm going to take my foot off the gas a little, fix my routine, take better care of my health, and keep working on the game at a pace that doesn't completely destroy me.

Nothing terrible or extraordinary is happening. I'm still here, I'm still working, and the project is still moving forward. I just wanted to be honest with you instead of giving some weird excuse or pretending everything is fine.

And if you subscribed this month mainly because you were expecting Chapter 06 and you want a refund, just send me a message. No hard feelings.

I hope this will be the last negative update regarding the roadmap, but always keep in mind that it's just a plan, and it can change depending on the circumstances.

Patreon Changes

Now, speaking of Patreon, we also have some good news! ✨

As you can probably imagine, creating beautiful, unique, and mostly error-free AI artwork can be pretty complicated. But with the advancement of technology, and with everything I've learned over time, I finally managed to create a workflow that can generate very good images automatically without requiring me to spend hours just to get one decent result.

This gives me the possibility to bring you more content without adding too much extra work to my already chaotic routine. And that's exactly what I'm going to do!

I'm officially announcing the creation of a new weekly series called Spicy Sunday, available for Lover tiers and above! 🎨❤️‍🔥

The uncensored version will also be available on Discord, with one version for paid members and another for non-paid members.

The idea is simple: every Sunday, I'll post a random NSFW artwork, either R16 or R18, generated through this new workflow. The goal is to bring more content, more variety, different characters, fun little surprises, and of course, spice up our Sundays a little. 🔥

That said, it's important to make one thing clear: Spicy Sunday artworks won't be as polished or carefully crafted as the main My True Desire artworks or the monthly wallpapers from the Legend tier. Most of the time, they also won't feature characters from My True Desire, as the goal is to keep the series simple, spontaneous, experimental, and full of surprises.

And speaking of the Legend tier, I'm also upgrading the old Monthly Wallpaper reward into something bigger: Monthly Goodies. 🎁

Instead of only receiving the monthly wallpaper, the Legend tier will now receive a small pack of exclusive digital content, which may include:

Monthly Wallpapers: Desktop and Mobile, SFW and NSFW 🖼️

Exclusive Artworks 💎

Sketches ✏️

Behind-the-Scenes Content 🎬

Discarded Artworks 🗂️

And more 👀

I believe all these changes will add more value to your subscription, and they are now much easier for me to make.

Chapter 06

And lastly, I want to talk a little about Chapter 06.

I can confidently say that the new chapter is looking visually impeccable.

I'm following a lot of the scene style I used in Chapter 05, but pushing the quality even further. The lighting, the atmosphere, the compositions, the expressions, and the overall visual direction are turning out really, really good. 💜

On top of that, the main arc of the chapter will be the erotic scene, or the context surrounding it, and it's turning out very, very well. I'm dying to share a teaser with you, but I think I'll hold back a little longer and save it for the trailer.

I really believe Chapter 06 will be worth the wait.

And that's "all" for today!

I was going to talk about another topic involving some different art styles I've been creating, but this post is already gigantic, and I think now isn't the right time.

Thank you if you read this far. You're the man! Big hug, see you later! 🥰❤️

Can't say I'm not disappointed. I follow 6 games and every single one has extended or canceled updates. But Health first man, your game is one of the better ones tho, gotta say. Hope you get better health wise.

Yamamoto

Thanks for the update! I’m always a huge believer of personal health before game development, as a lot of the tome forgoing it can hurt or even completely stop the game entirely. I am a bit disappointed to not get the update this month, but it’s the better choice to focus on yourself first.

Final

Your health is definitely more important than any deadline. Love your work, but no one wants you hurting just to get it out. I'm sure chapter 6 is gonna be amazing whenever it drops. Thanks for the transparency!

MulleDullen

Take care of yourself first, thank you for the update 🥰

initiale

Take good care of yourself! In the meantime, I’m already looking forward to Chapter 6. Good things are worth waiting a little longer for!

JasonTx

Love the work, but definitely agree with you choosing your mental/physical/emotional health!

Patreon'sPatreon

Health comes first! No need to sacrifice other areas of your life, brother. We can sit for quality and I look forward to a future update where you will share how much your physical health, relationships, and general life have improved through this change. The hair loss demon comes for all of us 😄

RAAAGGHH

I have terrible seasonal allergies and the best thing I've ever done for it is taking flonase, I'd highly recommend it if you haven't tried it already. I hope this new pace you're setting helps you get yourself sorted physically, mentally and spiritually my guy 👍

Starr

Taking care of yourself is talking care of every thing you build up in life. Dedicate some daily time to something else, going on a walk, doing sports, chillin with your so, etc.. will improve your life quality. All our support dude :)

kingen

I'm so disappointed... But not because of the delay. But cause you dear mister don't take care of your health *GabiAngry* Sending you all the good health and happiness in the world ❤️

hugo jaeger

I agree with you, health is the most important thing! But it's crazy to see that less than 10% of Patreon game developers manage to stick to their schedule.... (It's more of a general observation; I have nothing specific against DTZ).

DTZ Games

I appreciate your understanding. And yes, in the end, what I fear most is letting things get so bad that I have to stop working on the game entirely and end up going on hiatus or something like that

DTZ Games

Yeah, I'm disappointed too... it's awful for me to be in this situation as well. But it's the kind of unpleasant thing that has to be done to prevent something even worse. The classic bitter medicine And regarding the schedule, I think that happens because most creators are indies or one-person teams, so any unexpected issue can completely throw off the plan For example, I got very sick, and preparing for the Steam launch took much longer than I had planned. That alone ended up costing me about two weeks, which is more than enough time to miss the intended schedule

Preaching to the choir my friend, I run three companies by myself lol. I train service dogs, Im a professional photographer, and I run a pet dog training company. If ANYTHING happens to me literally all three businesses come to a grinding halt. I've hired assistants and such before, but the one I have now (a year and a half) is the longest any of them have lasted. It's not easy, and this isn't for the faint of heart (being a solo entrepreneur). I'm good at my deadlines but literally only because of years of martial arts training with monks who'll "educate" you for missing a deadline 😂. Thankfully I've been very fortunate in business and my reputation as an insanely hard worker and being honest in business has gotten me far. There comes a time when you have to prioritize health (like you're doing now) and I feel like a lot of these creators are doing this for the first time, so growing pains! Understand that the disappointment is only driven by the fact that we appreciate your story so far and want more. Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not going anywhere lol

DTZ Games

It wasn't on purpose, I swear! 😭😂 It was the kind of situation that naturally develops over time, and I only realized it now. But everything will be fine, I'm sure of it

DTZ Games

I appreciate all the positive comments, everyone ❤️ Replying to each one individually would end up being repetitive, but please know that I truly appreciate everything each of you said, and that from now on I'll take better care of myself. I'm sure that will make the project even better

DayDzen

Hey bro! Thank you for this detailed update! Take care! The health is our everything! I’m really appreciate of what you have done and your plans! And it’s nice to know that quality still on the first place and not a deadline ❤️

Cherub1m

totally understandable, the good thing is you finally listen to your body, I wish you good recovery we can wait a little longer no problem :D

DTZ Games

Hahaha, that's awesome Yeah, then you know how things are I completely agree with you, and mistakes really do teach a lot. I've only been doing this for a relatively short time, and I've already had the opportunity to learn a great deal, but I'm sure that in 5 or 10 years I'll look back and realize just how much I've grown

NDT 0117

Well, as a perpetual over worker myself lol.. if you ever need help with translating, writing, or anything else that my skills can help you with, I have no problem volunteering for you dude

YumYum

Wow thanks for sharing. Take care of yourself and your relationships. Your health always comes first, I'm happy to see where you have your priorities. Ignore all the "dissappinted" comments, the quality of your life is always extremely important. Keep being the best you can be MTD will always be the best game, even if it takes a long time between updates, and if you feel like this game isnt worth the damage. Give it up 🤷‍♂️ Love yoself 🤙💪

Cosmic Moon

A lot of text follows It's good to know you realized it before it's too late. Your health is important, as are your relationships with those around you, and well, hair loss is a big sign. I've been dealing with it for years, and the stress keeps following me. This month I've decided to take care of myself, just like you, so I totally understand. Now, getting back to it, I promised myself I'd wait for chapter 6 to, well, you know, let go of everything, haha. Waiting another month might make it even better. I really want to see chapter 6, whatever surprises it might hold, and see that "true desire" come true. By the way, I also play League of Legends. I'm Mexican, but I have accounts in North America if you ever want to rank up, haha. My elo pick is Master support. And one more thing, thanks for putting MTD in Spanish. You have no idea how grateful I am for that, really. I'll be waiting eagerly, and I wish you all the best!

Giovanny

Your health comes first, my friend, take care of yourself.

DTZ Games

Haha, thanks a lot, brother. You're the man ❤️ The H-scenes in this new chapter are fucking awesome. I believe they're the best sequences I've ever created, and I truly hope you enjoy them a lot And man, the funny thing is that I haven't played LoL in quite a long time... the last time was when Arena was first released, but nowadays I don't play anymore, especially ranked Once you reach Master rank, ranked games get really tough, and these days I just don't have the time or the mental energy to deal with that. So now I've been playing more single-player games and just taking it easy

DTZ Games

Surprisingly, there were basically no negative comments. People were more disappointed that I ended up not taking care of my health, hehe 😅 But thanks a lot, brother! I hope you enjoy the next chapter ❤️❤️

Paul

Health is more important then anything! would i love to see updates more rapidly ? sure i really like the game but if health suffers from it screw the game as long as you need!

Orionstars

@DTZ Games Do you see in the future a scene where we get a threesome with Anna and Gaby? ;) Take care

DTZ Games

Well... everything is possible, so yeah, I see a future scene where that could happen Take care you too, man!

For allergies, try any medicine that has levocetirizine dihydrochloride (such as Xyzal). It works wonders for me, and the only side effect is sleepiness after 2-3 hours from taking it.
