[Update] Patch 16.2 Release Notes

With each update, the notes in this section will offer some need to know notes for the current build.

• Optimization in WIP - We have improved frame rates in this build, however, you should not expect finished optimization yet. Proper optimizing tools are new to the latest engine builds and we're still working to reverse optimize the game. Performance will continue to improve with every build.

• Main Quest Incomplete -You will not be able to reach the Dreamworld yet, the MQ will end after the Dreaming Ritual chapter. This is due to finishing AI in the Dreamworld so progression will be available soon.

• Control/Setting Oddities - We're still in the process of remapping some of the controls so the schematics in the main menu have a couple keys that are out of date, we'll be updating them with each build. Some settings may also be displaying incorrectly but will be resolved.

• Combat & AI WIP - We are making significant changes to combat and AI so both may be glitchy, we are working to make improvements that will make combat more interesting and AI more organic!

Price Change Notice!

Please note this is the last build we'll be releasing at the $6.99 price point. Build 17 will essentially double the content that's currently available so we'll be raising the price at that stage. In response to fan (and potential buyer) feedback that we are underselling the game, Dreamtime will be going up to $14.99 at the next release. Be sure to get your copy while the price deal is prime and you'll get all future updates free! ːsteamhappyː
