Might I suggest some QOL? Let us see origin-specific choices, even if we can't click on them, to better invite replayability (There are plenty of choices, passionate work need be appreciated). Talk about origin, I would suggest separating the origin from the skill point tree: I honestly spent quite some time trying for an origin AND tree that spoke to how I saw Rael, but it never quite fit. Additionaly, it seems rather easy to make him excel in many regards at once. Other than that, being able to see the Main Character's expression would be interesting, not only their thoughts. All in all, the game is already top notch, amazing! :)
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for the feedback!
On seeing the Origin specific choices even if you can't use them, that's an interesting idea! I'll probably run it as a poll in the future to see if that's something most people could like; I personally like the mystery, but that's just me!
Rael is meant to be quite exceptional for his age, hence the generally very impressive Skill spreads he can achieve through his Origins. On a mechanical level I needed readers to be able to have his Skills at the start be solid because they'll probably prefer to spend time with crew rather than train those Skills up. On a narrative level... you'll have to wait and see! Accordingly, decoupling Skills from Origins isn't something on the cards, sorry. Interesting idea, though!
A window beside the dialogue box for Rael's expression was considered, but funds precluded me from actually getting it done. That may change, if the Patreon takes off (once they let my page go live). We'll see; this is very early days for the project!
Thanks again for the thoughts, and I hope you continue to enjoy what's still to come!
This VN shows a ton of promise so far, can't wait for more. A bit of a lore question though, about biolocks. Is it basically immortality, or is it more like just an extended lifespan where you lock yourself at a certain age, the biolock wears off, you start aging again, and then after a while you can biolock yourself again to live much longer?
Hey, thanks for the question and the praise; I can't wait to get more out!
As Beloch mentions below, the Augmentions blog post actually deals with biomodding and cyberware in-setting, but the gist of it is that a biolock allows a person to lock their physical processes for a time at that physical age. It prolongs their lifespan, but biolocks can only last so long before they need to be replaced, and the body can only handle so many.
So people are still mortal, but they can live much, much longer lives as a result of the technology!
Oh goodness, thank you! Yep, it's me! Same me and all! I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed my other work, and I really hope that Void Dreaming blows it all out of the water. Interwoven was a lot, Blood and Water was a lot, but this is already so, so much bigger than anything I've done before. Fingers crossed it goes well!
I'm doing my best to make sure that there's an Android version ready for launch! I'm not in a position to promise anything, but at the moment my hope is that it will either be ready at launch, or shortly after. Fingers are crossed!
Thanks so much! I'm incredibly proud of the work that Vallhound and Rico have put into this project; they've done an incredible job bringing Void Dreaming to life. I can only hope my writing holds up to the quality standards that they've set for me!
I can 100% guarantee that I am gonna be sticking to <<Redacted>> like glue on my first playthrough. He is just SO adorable. Easily my favorite character.
Won't let me install..... is this game not ready for Desktop? I have it added to my collections, hope to play this soon! Looking forward to seeing how this plays. <3
It's not out just yet, but soon! It'll be live on April 5th and all ready for you, but in the meantime there's still all my old posts about it to port over to hopefully get people excited!
Thanks for the interest, and I hope you enjoy it when you get your paws on it!

You should check "Augmentation" in devlog.

You passed! Rael is one of the best MC and I can't wait for action and sexy moments
I'm glad to hear it! There's still so much more to come, so I'm glad to hear you're enthusiastic for it!
Joined sexy captain's crew, got sassed by glados all over again, ruthlessly cracked introvert's shell, 10/10, want more.
I'm so glad you've enjoyed your first taste of Void Dreaming! I can't wait to get more into your hands, believe me!
Seems interesting, I'll check it out once it launches
I'm glad you think so, and I hope in just under a week's time you have a blast with what I've been cooking up!
Faora... WAIT IT'S YOU??? OMG I'm a big fan of your works in SoFurry and now I'm so excited to read this!

Will there be Android version Because I really want to play it
I'm doing my best to make sure that there's an Android version ready for launch! I'm not in a position to promise anything, but at the moment my hope is that it will either be ready at launch, or shortly after. Fingers are crossed!
It's okay my friend even if it takes years I will wait just take your time (And also good luck with the project)😉❤️
Wow, the art style is amazing! I'm happy to see more visual novels in the sci-fi and space genre.
Thanks so much! I'm incredibly proud of the work that Vallhound and Rico have put into this project; they've done an incredible job bringing Void Dreaming to life. I can only hope my writing holds up to the quality standards that they've set for me!
Don't worry, I'm sure you got this!!
I can 100% guarantee that I am gonna be sticking to <<Redacted>> like glue on my first playthrough. He is just SO adorable. Easily my favorite character.
I'm so glad to hear that! He's a central part of the story, so I can't wait for you to get to know him!
I'm excited for Zuberi he's sooooooo handsome!
I'd go flying away with him to another galaxy.
I've got great news for you, then! You don't have long to go before you can journey out past fringe space with him!
