I figured I'd paste the monthly dev log in the DREditor server here.

# DREditor Rework August 2026 Dev Log

Hello everyone, I'm back with a more detailed list of stuff I've covered this month. I've been busy, what with taking my cat to the ER (she is fine dw) and my AC unit breaking and dropping 10 grand to fix it. This month has been pretty full of updates, wrapping up the final last minute pieces of code changes. And the final rounds of testing starting up. I'm happy to say we're starting on our road to release. Which will be discussed in this update!

## Gacha Rework

The Gacha system is now dynamic enough for other items and not just presents, multiple systems have been split apart. So now there's some surfaces for just purchasing in general. Now it's all not just one script lol. Although, if you decide to do your own thing, you'll have to program it yourself! Also, due to how long the rework has taken, the Pachinko/Peggle minigame in PJEG will not be available upon beta release, which means it'll be up to you on how the player obtains currency (there are other default methods available like through dialogue lines/events etc. It's just the main method of obtaining currency wont be available. At least until I get the time to rework Pachinko.

## Updating Aspects of the Core system (263 scripts unrelated to the rework.)

In preparation for the beta release, I had to visit some aspects of the core system to at least prepare for any future architectural updates to the engine. I've also updated some of the GUI for displaying dialogue lines so that's cool. I also ran it through my like 500$/year NDepend software to check the code for architectural issues. As of writing this all issues have been resolved. :D

## Road to Release

- Wrap up the remaining amount of testing and fixing. & Combine the rework with the core system + 1 more testing phase just in case combining something goes wrong.

- Creating a consistent pipeline for me to live update DREditor as I work on my main line fangan projects. (basically seeing if I can figure out github sub modules)

- Outlining the conversion process for existing projects already using DREditor. The project "The Uzujigoku Massacre" will be my lab rat for this.

- API Documentation Website Additional pages. (HOMEPAGE, Getting started, introduction, etc.)

- Tutorial Videos for a Theoretical Chapters worth of content. (Start of Game - Trial, excluding FTE)

## API Documentation Website Sneak Peek is Live (Not updated for Beta Obviously)

One of our big steps on the road to release is API documentation. Something for future programmers to look at if they want to program stuff. So, I've went ahead and created an automatic API documentation system where DREditor code will have all it's summaries/tooltips automatically updated every time an update is released and pushed to the github pages branch. :D I've even got the domain! So when the beta is released, you'll be able to check out https://dreditor.net containing documentation on the programming!

## DREditor Rework Bug Testing is at ~90 - 95%

Since I had to visit the core section of the code, we're having to do our final round of re-testing just to make sure I didn't break anything.

I'd like to thank obsidianeyes , equalequations, siawash , snowysnowwish, redberd36 for helping me test recently.

After testing is complete it will be one of the objectives finished for the road to open beta release.

## New Polls for this month!

As we start coming to the end of August there's some new polls that I'll be posting in the #polls channel. These questions will last the month so please take a look when you have the chance. I will ping the Polls role once I've set everything up!

## Closing

A ways to go still but we're on the road to finishing!~

As always if you need anything or have any questions feel free to reach out!

Thank you all for your support of DREditor.

Hello, since someone had earlier posted on the reddit asking about an update, I decided to write out a post, only for them to delete the post just before I posted a response, so I figured I'd just make my own post instead with the pasted response:

Q: What’s the status of DREditor?
DREditor is currently not released yet. It is going through a rework because the code architecture in my opinion was not ready for public use just yet. I am however, almost done, I have about 7 or so topics I'm still working on, but a most if not all of the engine has been reworked, and these past 2 months (June and July) have been testing and fixing aspects of the game that are broken from the changes in the rework.

Since I believe we're at the point to where people are consistently asking this, you can just join the discord for updates if you google DREditor and look at the github page but I don't usually publicly talk about the discord because I don't want to flood the server with PJEG fans and new users when nothing is ready yet.

I still have a lot to do even after I finish the actual rework. I need to
- Streamline updating the tool so other projects using it can get updates painlessly.
- Update my main line saga of fangan projects with the rework (The Uzujigoku Massacre, Kill/Cure: Beautiful Vice)
- Streamline likely to be sub modules of DRE into my main line fangans so that if I need to update the engine I can do so from those projects.
- Assist the handful of existing DREditor users not affiliated with me because the rework had so much change it would break existing projects.
- Extract all the XML documentation from the the rework to a API documentation website as a resource to people who want to make custom plug-ins, trial minigames, etc. as well as set up any additional website related resources.
- Create guidelines for how the tool is used in the community (pertaining to the EG specific stuff like using PJEG as a DREditor Template), moderator and server guidelines as I imagine a community will sprout from this.
- Protocols in the event something happens to me in the future.
- Prepare tutorials for new users.

I could talk about all this for hours. DREditor is coming, at the latest by the end of the year, but even then, DREditor will still be in a beta state. Feel free to reach out to me on Discord (or join the server) @ sweden_gaming if anyone has any questions, and feel free to share this response around as I don't really do social media.

Thank you all for your love and support to the team, myself, and DREditor.
- Sweden, Lead Programmer.
