You may be familiar with the games I wrote with Phreaky.

I loved working with Phreaky, but he hasn't been around in quite some time. I have to assume that he's not coming back.

In March I was approached by a lagooner named Mortze who offered to be my new artist. I've seen quite a ... range ... of quality in people's renders, so I asked him to make me an image of what he considered to be an attractive character. I figured he'd send a standard "V4 with beachball breasts," and that I'd have to let him down easy.

Wow, was I ever wrong. The image he sent just blew me away. Now actually interested, I asked him to do 3 more with varying facial expressions. He knocked those out of the park too. Fast forward four months and we're set to release our first game together.

Introducing "Dreaming with Elsa."

This game takes place in a different universe than my previous games, so don't expect to see cameos of Keeley et al. It wouldn't seem right to use characters from the games I did with Phreaky without him. I hope you all grow to like the characters in this universe as much as you liked the ones in the other one. And I hope you enjoy this game. It's larger than anything I've done yet, and Mortze made a ton of great images for it.

Edit: I've just re-released the game in Spanish and Italian. Translations by Moskys and John Milton. Same link as above.
Edit2: I've just added a French translation by Marco. Same link as above.
Edit3: I've just added a German translation by Jessica. Same link as above.

Tlaero

Wow, you actually beat me in my one sided competition. By a long shot too XD

Though that IS Mortze's apparrent speed that caused that... Hm. Hope you two work together for a while and stuff and get started on your second work soon. Release that before Envying Celina why don't you.

also, guess that your avatar IS actually a glance at the art style of this game. That's cool. Will see in five seconds though lol

Welp, time to play this game. Yay!

Edit: First, can't ignore that name. Elsa. That isn't a reference to what I think it is, is it?

Thanks Tlaero & Mortze looking forward to playing this over the weekend

What you were thinking of some iceblooded cold princess weren't you?

but more ontopic: like the rest can't wait to play. But first got some other stuff to do

Welp, got the romantic path on hard. Interesting premise but very awesome!

Question elating to park:



But yeah, loved it and stuff

I can confirm that the achievement you're asking about is working correctly...

Tlaero

Esteemed lagooners,

Indeed, it was around late February (not March) that I contacted The Lady Tlaero after seeing she was looking for a new artist. I was, at the time, considering to make the big step to launch myself into 3d career. By then, I'd only experimented the software, doing tutorials and comics trials, with no success, lacking any real support or direction to help me get into this. So I just shot in the dark, proposing myself to the Lady Tlaero. I was really excited when she agreed and proposed me to embark on this project.

This was and is the first step for me. My professional career is far from artistic, but sometimes we have to make some U-turns and just take a bet. I discovered DAZ3D in early 2014 and since then, developing characters, settings, stories, has been a discovered passion. The PM I sent Tlaero was my U-turn.

These few months have been wild, I've rendered non-stop, and with great pleasure, eager to enhance my skills, discover my errors, learn from them, try to do best, and now it's great satisfaction that I see the game distributed.
I really hope that you'll enjoy playing it as I've had rendering it.

I'd like to publicly give my thanks to Tlaero. She has given me a great oportunity to show my work, and has been a great mentor concerning this type of games and coding. I'd like to aknowledge the effort she has been putting in making games that describe complex characters, and do not denigrate women. That's one of the reasons that made me propose my art to her. Because I identify myself with her vision of this type of storytelling.

I have also to give my thanks to Pusooy. He did not take any part on the making of this game, but I downloaded DAZ3D and started playing around with it because of his games. He was kind enough to tell me what software he used and gave me some lights to get around DAZ. He was the reason I started all this.
And finally, I'd like to give my thanks to Erogenesis. He gave me some lights too, but more importantly he produced some of the more important products I use, regarding female intimacy (still talking about DAZ). More importantly, his art is a constant inspiration, his art is the pinacle I dream to achieve one day. I doubt it but it is the direction I run.

Lastly, I did not present myself earlier for a personal reason. I had to prove myself I could produce something before saying anything at all here. I'll participate more from now on.

That said,

Fap well and properly

I'm always happy to see a new game with Tlaero's name on it! Glad to see your artwork as well Mortze! Great stuff you two. A strong addition to the Tlaero bloodline and a fantastic showing for Mortze as well! The beginning of another fantastic partnership!

Woooohoooo!!! A new Tlaero game!! Time to call in sick from work!!

Great game, excellent job.

Very impressive new addition to your list of games tlaero. Congratulations to you as well, Mortze, on completing your first. Enjoying the game and its look.

A few critiques and comments...
Story:


On gameplay:


What seems to be a logic plot flaw:

Great to see you back in action Tlaero! Woot!

I finished the game on hard yesterday and it took... long It's probably the longest VD game out there ever made. Maybe except for SITA

Things I liked:
- graphics. They're different than Phreaky's, sure, but they're mostly great (except one detail, more on that later). The faces, the poses, the hair - it's all looking really well. Body proportions too. This is in sharp contrast to recent Chaotic's games which I don't even want to try after seeing promo images...
- animations. Pretty much as above, and considering how difficult it is to make good animations of people interacting together - it's a real feat!
- story and characters. Except for the last day, the characters, their development and so on were spot on
- achievements. I finished the game at 7/12 on hard

Things that could be made better:
- eyes. Eyes are important Unfortunately they feel... empty and dead. Or sick. Eyes need a stronger color of the iris and a much blacker retina. Since it's probably a simple change at the model level, I'd suggest spending a moment on this issue as it will profit you greatly later
- sound. Normally I'd turn it off but since I'm home alone for a moment I decided to give it a try... and I wish I didn't. I believe it breaks any immersion for two reasons: 1) it's just not too good... random moaning and stuff 2) it's connected to .html files and sometimes you'll have sound to go mute for a few second and then next sound. It's not fluid. I think it would work better to just have one music track going through whole day or event, instead of having it chopped like that
- phonesex18.jpg image is not used in any html files
- it took me a while to understand the saving system. I think it doesn't work properly until you manually select a save slot
- while Elsa is a very enjoyable character, her change on the last day (she used to be shy, now she's suddenly ready for anything) happened to fast and a bit unexpected IMO

Overall - a great game and I hope to see a lot more from you in future!

Brilliant game, I finished the main quest on hard but I have still got to look around and find the other paths yet. The models are very sexy although I found Elsa's eyes to be a bit off to start with but considering where the story was heading perhaps witch eyes were not a bad choice.

You gave me a hard choice though (pun intended) Elsa is everything I want in a woman, sexy, smart, an avid reader who owns her own bookstore but damn, Chloe is one of the sexiest piece of pixel I have ever seen, those freckles, red hair, freckles, tatts and did I mention the freckles. I think I'm in love.

Superb game once again Tlaero, and I'm happy you found an artist who's up to the high standards your previous games have set.

The story was much better than what this kind of games usually have and your characters (especially the women) continue to be more realistic in both looks and behavior. That's why you continue to be better than everyone else.

Thanks, can't wait for your next collaboration.

Thanks I can't wait to try this!
