Supporter Edition Rewards
We'd like to start by once again apologizing for not being able to provide a loyalty discount to those who purchased the Supporter's Edition DLC earlier this year. While the ultimate decision was unfortunately out of our hands, we take responsibility for not setting expectations correctly. It has been important for us to show our appreciation for your support in other ways, which is why we've introduced two new exclusive weapons: Severing Blade & The Gnashty Hammer:
Loading the full version of Dreamscaper on Steam using an account that also owns the Supporter's Edition DLC should unlock these rewards. In order to maintain game balance, they share spawn rates with existing weapons and can be turned off if you'd prefer.
If you haven't picked up Dreamscaper, there will be a 20% discount running for the next 48 hours:

Discover The Reflection Update
Despite a more compressed schedule for this update (due to the Balance, Quality of Live and Engine Upgrade patches) we worked our butts off adding the following to The Reflection Update in the last month and a half since we launched Dreamscaper into Early Access:
New Boss: Negativity
Headlining our update is the new boss, "Negativity," which is the manifestation of how Cassidy feels about herself. Negativity has replaced the mini-boss at the end of the 5th floor.
New Character: Rose
Cassidy can now befriend an additional character who can be found in the new Waking World location, the local record shop. Rose adores music and that will be reflected in both the three hours of story she provides, as well as the items and upgradeable Influence she unlocks.
Enchantment Shop
We've heard the feedback that players want more control over their builds. Therefore we've introduced a new shop with three services that can be used in exchange for sand:
- Upgrade Equipment to increase the level of items in your inventory, boosting the base stats.
- Reforge Modifiers for more chances to synergize your equipment.
- Destroy Keepsakes that you no longer want active in your build.
Secret Rooms
It's no secret that Dreamscaper has been heavily inspired by Binding of Isaac, especially when it comes to level generation and exploration. One feature that game borrowed from The Legend of Zelda was the ability to discover secret rooms in the map filled with extra goodies. Without ruining the surprise of finding and revealing them yourselves, we can confirm that they exist and we will continue to iterate on them across future updates.
New Items
An update wouldn't be complete without a sizable batch of new powerful items to unlock or discover in your runs. We feel that these items in particular are some of the most unique that you'll find in the game, from both a functional and thematic perspective:
- New Upgradeable Influence
- 4 New Weapons
- 3 New Lucid Abilities
- 10 New Keepsakes
Over the next few weeks we will be revealing our plans for our second Major Update!
Thank you to everyone who has continued to support our tiny studio. We hope you've been enjoying Dreamscaper!
- Rob, Ian and Paul
