Hey Dreamscapers!

As many of you know, we have spent the last year hard at work on our second unannounced title thanks to your support of our studio. However, we fell in love with the Steam Deck over the holidays and felt strongly that Dreamscaper is the perfect game for the device.

Therefore, we are thrilled to announce that we have also been secretly revisiting Dreamscaper in order to improve the performance, usability and readability of our game specifically for the Steam Deck. That is correct: Dreamscaper is now officially a Verified Steam Deck game.

We hope that you enjoy this new update and please let us know if you encounter any new issues related to these changes so that we can hotfix them ASAP.

Love,
Rob, Ian & Paul

It was discovered that a session's save progress could be lost thanks to a race condition between our asynchronous level streaming and the new asynchronous autosaving.

This issue has been resolved. Please let us know if you happen to encounter any additional issues!

Happy New Year everyone!

As many of you know, as of 1.1 we now consider the current version of Dreamscaper as the final definitive experience, but we will continue to maintain stability and performance for our players. The primary purpose of this patch (and the bulk of the work) is to upgrade our version of Unreal Engine in order to make Dreamscaper even easier to maintain going forward.

Additionally, we have made a few high-priority / low-risk fixes and improvements:

• Auto-saving has been made asynchronous. Players with slower hard drives should now experience less hitching throughout the game.
  
• Fixed an issue where Interactables could be triggered when menus (like fast travel) were dismissed, resulting in weird broken game states.
  
• Minor translation, graphical & collision fixes.

Cheers,
Rob, Ian & Paul

Another tiny patch to address the following:

• All Nightmare Boss shockwave attacks have consistent hit type
  
• Various adjustments to language used within dialogue sequences

To celebrate Halloween, we are running a limited time event where some enemies become Jack-o'-lantern nightmares!

This will be turned off again on November 1st.

This is our smallest patch yet which addresses a regression in 1.1:

• Fixed issue where % complete in the save screen would round up to 100%

Cheers,
Rob, Ian & Paul

Hey Dreamers,

As a special thank you for all your post-launch support and feedback, we'll be releasing a major update to Dreamscaper next week, on October 21st.

We've been incorporating more of your suggestions into the game as we've been adding some brand new content.

Here's what you can expect:


A highly requested feature - players will now have the ability to spend Sand to refresh the options in the merchant room. This new feature can be unlocked via the Daydreaming system.


To couple with Merchant Rerolling, players will now be able to convert excess waking world currency (like glass or resolve) into Sand from within each levels starting room. We hope this allows for more flexibility to create the build you want. This new feature can also be unlocked via the Daydreaming system.

A whole slew of new items:

• Two melee attacks
  
• Two ranged attacks
  
• Four lucid attacks
  
• Eleven Keepsakes

Paul has been hard at work on some gorgeous new rooms that will add variety to the earlier levels. Each of the rooms comes with new memories Cassidy can discover as well.

Finally, we've also added new Secret Room stylings in the later levels.

• Icons display on the HUD for when an unused Firebird is active or when the double metacurrency buff is currently active (Before taking damage).
  
• Text on Off Balanced has clearer language

• Blowgun, Biting Dagger & Fireburst have had damage reduced.
  
• Player can no longer be impacted by their own status effects on projectiles parried by enemies.

• Fixed bug where auto-skipping Regret's intro/outro caused the clock arm to disappear.
  
• Auto-recycling of Health Potions that are off-screen will correctly scale the sand with level now.
  
• Spawning Keepsakes through White Elephant will no longer produce possible duplicate Keepsakes.
  
• Astral Blow can now spawn in Random starting loadouts.
  
• Perfect Damage & Window modifiers no longer spawn on automatic ranged weapons.
  
• Umbrella's Alt Attack has been fixed
  
• Escape menu now correctly dismisses menus first in Dream instead of immediately bringing up the Escape menu.
  
• Fix bug where projectiles would collide with the visual AOE of the debuffing turret.
  
• Adjusted Whirling Currents alt attack to help prevent physics bugs, adjusted recovery time.
  
• Erroneous "burn duration" text on buffing items now correctly says "buff duration."
  
• Fixed many typos across all languages.

This build is currently live on our "test" branch if you'd like to help us iron out the kinks.

To access the "test" beta you simply:
1. Right click Dreamscaper in Steam.
2. Select "Properties..."
3. Choose the "BETAS" tab.
4. Select "test" from the drop-down menu.
