Hello everybody, welcome to Dreamweaver’s Journal, where we give you a quick update regarding all the progress we have made on Dream Tactics in the last month. The past few months have been incredibly exciting for us, especially since we have teamed up with our publishing partner, Freedom Games. We are thrilled to be working with them and are confident that this relationship will lead to great things for Dream Tactics. With that said, here is what we have been working on! [h3][b]1. New and Powerful Equipment:[/b][/h3] Create unique and powerful characters with the introduction of new build-enabling equipment! In this month’s journal, we would like to showcase some of our favourites that we’ve been working on, such as Echo Hammer: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42256339/f3043288b0209581b9c5a3b8f740446d7bfc3392.png[/img] Echo Hammer is a strength-scaling item that creates a powerful shockwave when your unit moves as a result of a card effect. This item synergizes perfectly with cards like Hop and Slide, which will move your unit to a new tile, triggering the item’s effect. This will allow players to build characters with high mobility without compromising on their damage! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42256339/d4a40eb61b6ab2f16b302130dfb3d07a3761e3a1.gif[/img] [h3][b]2. Meet the New Heroes:[/b][/h3] The art team has been working on the character portraits and designs of two of our unlockable characters: [list] [*] Amber the Pyromancer: A treasure hunter focused on finding the motherlode. Amber’s playstyle is focused around setting the ground on-fire, dealing burning damage to engulfed enemies. [*] Willow the Summoner: A master of both the dark arts and science. Willow can summon pillows to assist your party in combat, and wields powerful ice magic. [/list] We plan on going into more detail about these characters and their unique mechanics in future development updates.

We've improved the enemy AI, making battles more dynamic and rewarding. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42256339/89fd6894a47fc0f45824298083e5736bc80b4d59.gif[/img] [h3][b]4. A Window to Progress:[/b][/h3] We’ve added a preview to each area of the Nexus which displays your progress in collecting chests and breakables. This clear sense of achievement and completion will keep you motivated on your quest and allow you to know if you have collected everything.

We've implemented the ability to lock save files. With this feature, you can choose to lock a save file, making it impossible for you to accidentally overwrite it.

Saving and Loading Improvements:[/b][/h3] We've enhanced the performance of both the saving and loading processes, ensuring that in-combat saves are now faster and more reliable than ever before. [h3][b]7. Banishing Bugs:[/b][/h3] Our team has been on a bug-hunting spree, and we've successfully squashed tons of these pesky critters. The game is now more polished and stable, providing a smoother gameplay experience for all players. [h3][b]8. Presenting our Identity:[/b][/h3] We've added a splash screen that proudly showcases our studio logo alongside the logo of our publishing partner, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/developer/freedomgames]Freedom Games[/url].
