Q&A Post
Here's also a text only version:
Q: What is Dandy Adventures?
A: Dandy Adventures is a reimagining of the Dandy Boy Adventures project. It keeps the best parts of the original game while changing a great deal and adding plenty of new content. It runs on the new and much more advanced Planet Lust engine.
Q: When will the game be released?
A: Sometime in 2027.
Q: How can you remake eight years of content in a single year?
A: The game will be released in parts, in a somewhat episodic format. We keep the individual parts small and the implementation simple so we can focus on the amount and quality of the content. The main story and some of the girls will be included in a larger base game. The remaining characters and special events, each with their own unique stories, will be released as DLC. This way players get new content at a steady pace without having to pay for anything unfinished. Smaller parts also lower the risk as we see how the game is received. If it does well, we will make more DLC. We also reserve the right to create small side games or projects between DLCs if the mood strikes in order to feed our creativity.
Q: How often can we expect new releases?
A: We are aiming for 4–6 month development cycles, but we can’t yet promise how that will work out in practice. The goal is to keep every release a tight, small, self-contained package so the process stays more enjoyable for everyone — both the development team and the fans. The main game will be hopefully finished within 6-12 months, and the DLCs will each take around 2-4 months to develop. The continuity and quality are the key.
Q: Is all of the original content still in the game?
A: There will be many changes compared to the old game. Some of these are because the rules of various storefronts have changed radically since then, and some because we no longer feel that content matches our vision of what the game should include.
Q: Does the game still include sex and animations?
A: The original vision and the first version of the game (2018) did not include sex. It focused on adult humor, erotica, and exploration as well as secrets. We intend to stay true to that foundation in this new version as well, but we will still include sex for the fans. Animations remain an open question — they take a lot of resources away from making content, and we don’t want to burn out again the way we have in the past.
We are however, going to stay true to our own vision this time around with the small exception of excluding stuff that most people don’t want.
Q: How is the game being funded?
A: We are taking the risk and funding this project ourselves with the revenue from Planet Lust. The game will go straight to sale — there will be no public Alpha or Beta versions.
Q: What happens to the Patreon page?
A: Our Patreon page will remain, but it will undergo major changes in the near future. It will mainly function as a fan club and news site, where all news arrives a little earlier than elsewhere.
Q: Can patrons vote or get access to test versions?
A: Patrons will not get access to any exclusive content or votes related to the game. Support is 100% voluntary and does not come with any privileges regarding the game.
Q: Can an unofficial patch be installed that would restore the taboo content?
A: No. We will not provide or support anything of that kind that would put the project at risk in any way.
Q: On which platforms will the game be released?
A: The PC, Mac and Linux (Proton) versions will be released primarily on Steam. Other platforms will be considered after that.
Q: What about Android or Switch ports?
A: We are not planning any other ports at this stage.
Q: What will the game cost?
A: We will assess and set the price once we know exactly how much content the base game will contain.
Q: Do the DLCs require each other to work, or can I buy only the ones I want?
A: The DLC add-ons are not dependent on each other, only on the base game. You can buy the ones you want.
Q: Will there be a sequel or DLC for Planet Lust?
A: That is not our top priority at the moment. We have something else that has been waiting in the background for far too long.
Q: Will we see other Skullgear games?
A: We have many new concepts ready to be made — we’re just waiting for the right time.

Ideas for Dandy Boy Adventures I have some ideas that could make Dandy Boy Adventures even more immersive, interactive, and enjoyable. These suggestions include new gameplay systems, additional activities, hidden locations, seasonal changes, and features that would make Beagleton feel more alive. My ideas include a dynamic weather system, multiple endings based on player choices, a seasonal cycle, a local newspaper, secret rooms and hidden locations, unexpected events such as power outages, an achievement system, an astronomical observatory, annual festivals with changing activities, city emergencies, a character encyclopedia, scenic viewpoints, and a mysterious lighthouse with hidden clues and secrets. These additions could expand exploration, encourage players to discover more of Beagleton, make characters and events feel more dynamic, and provide more reasons to keep playing. They are suggestions for possible future content and features that could enrich the game's world and gameplay.
I'm happy to return to the DBA world, but to say im cautious about these changes would be an understatement...
I'm just dissapointed... can't say anything else.
this is basically saying now that we have a good size want for the redo of dba we will take everything the people loved and remove it as of its a good thing
The game is already good. Release it in early access now then add content or sell DLC.
Honestly, what was so difficult about simply continuing the same game instead of creating another game; This is a huge disappointment. Please understand what the players actually want: we want Dandy Boy Adventures, not Dandy Adventures. We want the same game, the same characters, the same story and the same feeling, continued and improved — not a completely separate game that is merely similar. I really hope the developers reconsider this direction, because this is not what the fans were asking for.
DBA is still my favorite NSFW game, and from playing Planet Lust and reading this FAQ... It really feels like anything BUT dba.. Like you looked at all the good things in DBA and what fans loved about it and decided to do the exact opposite. I'm the dev myself and I feel like I had very similar struggles you gone through, so I had a lot of compassion for you. But as a player.. this looks like a disappointment so far i'm afraid.
right. like just maybe change the relationships for characters to the mc dont be like ok we see what you liked for the game and decided to undo all of that hope you are happy
Why don't you just do what every other lewd game does to dance around taboo relationships? Just have the player input the type of relationship said character has to the player, or have a minorly altered version that has the original relationships on a different link or make that one exclusive on a site that's fine with it. Then you wouldn't be isolating the fanbase you've built up for years. Fans who have been waiting for BDA content for what seems like forever.
My favorite parts of DBA were always the mom and sister stuff... I'm worried to say the least ;/
A bit disappointed with how it's presented honestly, why even pick it back up in that case, the sex and taboo was the main schtick of the game, now this may be an overreaction, but people really loved the game, maybe that's why we are a bit worried about that news
Man, I'm really bummed out about the taboo stuff probably getting removed. Pretty much everyone who followed and supported the project over the years loved that part of it, so it sucks to see it go. About the sex scenes, honestly, that's more subjective for me. If the story is well done, I'm totally sold. Like, the Melissa storyline in the base game was great, and if they can improve that even more, I'd be really happy and probably wouldn't even miss the animations that much. I like to use as an example a good story between characters, like the MC and Mrs. Smith from A Town Uncovered super intimate and engaging. I hope they go that route because it would be awesome. And like I said, I really hope they rethink the taboo decision and keep it, so that we can even forget the lack of animations and not feel like we're missing anything
How is it still DBA without the sex and taboo? Isn't that why we are all here? Can't express how let down I feel after all this time.
I'm really looking forward to this new DBA. I loved PL, and now when I play DBA, I feel like something is missing—more character depth, a routine like the one in PL. Plus, there are so many scenes that would look amazing with PL's pixel art style. The idea of gradually releasing DLC for specific characters seems good, though I'm curious to see how the arrival of new characters in the town is implemented. I can't wait to see what surprises you have in store. Keep up the great work!!!
what was the taboo in dba? i never finished the game because i was waiting for an update
If I had to guess, the option to set it so you could fuck your sister, your mom, your cousin, and your aunt.
Ok, soo taboo will be replaced with childhood friends i think, but is there a way to get back the pink haird Alex??
Welp wouldn't be the first game that took a break and then decided to remake or remastered I'll just keep both in my harddrive ive done it for twistedworld so why not dandy
I understand your point of view, but most of us (including myself) are here because of what DBA used to be. I enjoyed a lot PL, but DBA was something else: the characters, the designs, all the sex, the lights, the music, etc. I understand about the taboo part, and I’m ok in not including it, but if you could keep most of the original game, it would be really amazing, for real. It would be the best adult game ever imho. Anyway I won’t stop supporting you, because I really like all what you do. So keep going!
The only device I play this game is Android and now you are saying you don't even know when the ...😞
Honestly, it’s a bit sad; I loved *Planet Lust*—the art and everything—but I played it because I was eagerly looking forward to *DBA* and everything that massive project entailed. It’s a shame, though I’ll continue to follow your work closely.
The most important question for me is whether the game will be released on a platform other than Steam, since Steam blocks all games with sexual content in Germany. If it is released only on Steam, I unfortunately won't be able to support the game. In that case, the era ends for me with *Dandy Boy Adventure*—a game I truly enjoyed and have stuck with for years, hoping to see more of it.
Yes, it will be most likely released on other platforms as well. We are going through that with PL right now and if everything goes smoothly, I'm sure that it'll be faster next time around.
As far as I can tell, the new version of the game simply doesn’t want to be solely about intimacy and sex. And that’s actually really nice to hear; it would be a shame to see it turn into just another grind to unlock one scene or another. I believe that Dandy Boy Adventure will turn out to be much more cohesive and better, especially given that you’ve gained a lot of valuable experience from Planet Lust, and will definitely incorporate the best solutions into this game. That said, I’m just hoping that the 18+ content, which was such a highlight in the first iteration of Dandy Boy Adventure, will have its place in the new version of the game.
Will we be able to buy the game anywhere else than steam cause some people have to deal Online Safety Act
I'm sure that it'll be available on other storefronts as well. Things however, can change a lot in a year these days.
This game will be different from the last ver, and I may not like certain changes BUT I will buy the game because we have waited so long for the game to come back
Ok that's so disappointing, personally I loved since the first time I played it, the history, the taboo, the sex scenes, the mini games, everything, I was constantly waiting for the next update and so on, then the game was in hiatus cus you were on the major project, we waited patiently for the success of planet lust so you could get back to DBA and now, you're saying no to all the good that the game have? Ouch, we respect your ideas and everything, but now you're turning your back to most of the fans you have made over the years and have been waiting for the continuation of DBA
Absolutely loved Planet Lust, and only started Dandyboy adventures recently, Ill definitely be excited to try this whenever it comes out!
Hoping for the best...
Wait...ok..I love it..I love the look of the game...the designs..the characters...the freaking lighting of the game even....amazing. But sex is definitely a priority lol. U have defs crafted a game that exceed beyond juat sex..but thats what makes your game literally one of the best erotica games ever made. Its visually stunning and well crafted..True vision implemented. But...sex is still important...everyone (im sure) wants more sex in the game. Dang, and we weere so close to sex scene with the sister (the older blonde girl)
Fair enough, tho I did mention in the post that I'll be doing all that, despite it being a part of my own vision, original or present. I'm not taking away the sex and the raunchy stuff.
So it’s basically no longer the game we were all following for years, got it. Major disappointment. I get it, Planet Lust was a bomb on a game design level, but taking it out on this project just makes no sense
Right.....I loved the visual aspect of planet lust. The lightning the most..dark scenes where parts are illuminated..its so stunning. But we all loved dandy boy adventures...the characters..the designs..the sex. I understand a creator wanting to go with THEIR vision, and sticking to it. But...they have fans...who will pay...and...who are literally SAYING what they want. More dandy boy adventures..same character.. just updated lighting and visuals. And MORE SEX 🤭
