Roadmap Update - What’s Coming to My True Desire!
🕑 Added 2025-07-01 15:00:14 +0000 UTCHi, guys!
Today I want to share something a bit different with you. 🥰
I decided to make this post not only to maintain transparency, but also because many of you still don’t know what’s coming in the near future. And since you’re here supporting the project, it makes total sense to share a small “roadmap” of what’s ahead.
Just a quick note: the ideas and dates in this roadmap aren’t set in stone. Think of this post more like: “Here’s what the dev is aiming for and when he hopes to make it happen.”
The image itself is a summarized version of the roadmap, but I know some of you like the details, so let’s break it down! 📋
1 - Right now, I’m fully focused on finishing Chapter 04 and closing out a small cycle from the early phase of MTD’s story. This chapter will focus on the date between the MC and Ana, which is something that’s been hinted at in Chapters 02 and 03.
If you caught the clues in the last chapter, you might already have a good idea of what’s coming. 👀
Besides continuing the main story and adding translated versions, I also want to bring new 2D animations for Chapters 03 and 04, and make this a more regular feature going forward. I’m currently talking with a few animators to make this happen.
2 - After the release of Chapter 04, I plan to take a step back and revisit some of the earlier content. I genuinely believe that I’m much more capable now than I was back when I made the earlier chapters.
I’ve grown a lot as a creator since the beginning of this project, and I feel that the early chapters no longer reflect the current quality of the game. So, for the game itself, my goal is to update Ana’s sprite visuals, polish the artwork, and improve the overall flow of the scenes. 💯
I know I did my best at the time, but honestly… I think I can do better now. (And let’s be real, I'll probably say the same thing about Chapter 04 a year from now, haha! But that’s part of growing.)
As for things outside the game, I’m planning to:
Open up the Discord server to the public
(Don’t worry, paid members will still have exclusive roles and channels)Exploring a release on Steam and possibly launching a wishlist page
Reevaluate the Patreon tier pricing/rewards if needed
About Patreon, let me be totally honest with you...
I expected there to be a lot more people on the Lover tier compared to the Follower tier, especially considering the rewards are significantly better and the price difference is small. Most creators usually set that tier around $10, so I intentionally went lower to make it more accessible.
But if this doesn’t change after the next Chapter 04 is released, I’ll probably need to revisit that decision.
3 - And last but not least: Chapter 05!
Now, out of everything I mentioned, this is what I’m most excited about:
Chapter 05 will take place at an anime convention.
That opens the door to so many fun and creative possibilities.
To be blunt, I want this chapter to be big, fun, and sexy as hell.
We’ll also be doing another community event for it!
By then, there’ll be a lot more people following the project, so it’s going to be incredible seeing what kind of ideas the community brings to the table.
That’s everything I wanted to share for now!
Sorry for the long post, but there was a lot to cover, and I really wanted to let you in on the bigger picture.
As always, thank you so much for being part of this journey with me.
My True Desire wouldn’t mean anything without you.
Big hug, and have a great week! 💖

I'm definitely keeping a close eye on that, which is why I don't want to dedicate too much time to this rework/remake. It's more of a visual update for consistency than anything If I were going to make major changes, like adding multiple routes, fully redoing scenes, or introducing new gameplay mechanics, I'd save that for after the main story is finished, since the core story is more linear and straightforward Right now, the most important thing is to keep pushing the story forward. But at the same time, I can't completely ignore what I've done in the past

Instead of a dedicated version to rework chapters 1 and 2, I'd probably want to see it just rolled in with another update UNLESS you can rework it in a rather short amount of time. I really wouldn't like to wait double the release cycle time for a rework of content that I mostly seen already, especially since it's already of a good quality. If you want to, *do* dedicate time to reworking it. Just work it into other updates so it doesn't interrupt new content releases.
