Foreword
I didn't plan on posting over here, but because of some server problems with the website I'm currently unable to update properly.
That's why I will instead post the download link and changelog over here until the problem is fixed.
Character Sketch Demo v0.1.1
Main purpose of this update is to complete the Character Sketch Demo and fix some minor bugs of the last version.
So while there will be a lot of new sketches that you might not have seen prior to this update, there will be no major changes since last time. (hence the 0.1.1 instead of 0.2)
If you already played the last version and are interested in what exactly changed since here's a small list of what got added:
- ~200 added Character Sketches consisting of various expressions, poses and character variations (Characters different clothing, facial expressions etc)
- redesigned Anthro-Fia and her outfits in all of her sketches (~40 sketches)
- path 2 was properly implemented into the game, now connecting with events after. (Not it's own ending, but slightly(!) changing every other ending/path on the way)
- some additional lines and story fixes to various scenes to fix mood and improve writing
- various bugfixes, grammar and spelling changes(~250 in total, counting repeated mistakes)(A big thank you to Sparky66 for providing a detailed list that made finding and correcting a big part of these easier)
- some optimization to reduce sketch-file sizes
- updated and rewritten the Supporter List and their ranks. (ranks still use lifetime support, but script has been rewritten to making changes easier)
(+Some more sketches and scenes that were drawn/written but removed for this version
specifically to stay SFW)
Only part missing for a full on sketch demo now are the CG sketches.
Next Update and steps for full/colored version:
The next update will be the NSFW Demo, which will include all of the Hentai Scenes and sketches. (And if timely possible even some of the bonus scenes that have additional ones)
It will have the written dialogue and probably some very simple animation tests which I will showcase over the next couple weeks aswell.
The NSFW Demo will be the point where we have 100% of the art/sketches that is definitely going to be in the full version, only leaving the CG's that I will draw in batches instead of all at once.
This allows me to start coloring and modeling the first part of the full novel and release the game in "episodes" that will be put together once all of them are finished.
Bugreports and feedback
As always, feedback and bugreports can be given on the spoiler page over here:
https://in-dark-waters.blogspot.com/p/spoilers.html
I also joined Discord since it's probably easier to send screenshots/suggestions/give feedback/etc.
So feel free to add/talk/ask me about whatever, I'm not just there for Dream Molder.
(However, I'm awkward and mostly busy working on the game if I'm online. So please go easy on me as I might be (very) slow to answer.)
Id: InDarkWaters#1391
I actually planned on opening a Discord Server instead, but I'll probably need someone who does that for me because I'm simply too shy for this kinda thing.
I can still open one later one, for now having an account has to be enough. xD

Afterword:
I know this update doesn't seem like a lot since most sketches are just slight variations in clothing, poses and expressions.
But I think having all of this (roughly 500 char sketches/all scenes and endings) done and in one place is a big step towards completion.
I could start colorating the base characters and together with the finished music and backgrounds already make some finished scenes by now.
However, I think the h-Scenes are a big part of why this became so big which is why I'm going to prioritize them over starting to colorate.
I hope some of you are looking forward for the next update/showcase and/or maybe even like this version already.
Your support is what enables me to take my time improving and working on every part of the game and I will try to make the best out of it in the end.
Alright, that's pretty much it from me.
As always, just let me know if you have feedback/want to know about anything of the games progress. I always try to answer if I'm able to!
But for now, have a nice week everyone. :>
