Dream Flash News

Dream Flash Early Access 23 is out now! This update includes 3 new bosses, 2 renovated transformations, and some new items. There was also a lot of polish done behind the scenes.

List of Changes



I was originally going to release 22.5 at the end of march, but all of the back end stuff I needed to do to improve the code for future updates and synergies was taking longer than I thought it would. So I just decided to skip releasing that and wait longer between updates so that there can also be a decent amount of new features.



The rest of the updates this year shouldn't require any significant back end changes thankfully so expect the regularly planned schedule of a new major version every 2 months.



Ok that is technically a lie. I am planning on releasing a 23.5 by the end of June before starting v24. 23.5 will allegedly have another new boss, plus a bunch of requested QoL stuff like updated and better tutorials. I might also try adding controller support finally since I have a good excuse. More on that later maybe.

Anyways thanks for playing the game!

Hello everyone Dream Flash Early Access 22 is out now. This is a full sized update that contains 1 new boss and 3 fully renovated existing bosses with new art and attacks. In addition to this the bleeding state has been made much more mechanically interesting as well with a new dash effect and spear attack. There are also a bunch of other improvements to existing items and weapons so that they look better and synergize more effectively.

List of Changes



This is the first of hopefully many DF updates this year. I want to make several smaller updates that each take no more than 2 months to complete each. Look forward to it! Thank you for the continued support!

Dream Flash Early Access 21.5 is out now! This update comes with a large amount of quality of life changes in addition to a new/updated boss.



Full Changelog

One other noteworthy thing is that almost every negative emotion pool item has been buffed. For the most part this means that their positive benefit has been doubled in effectiveness.

Ideally every item in the game should be noticeably impactful to the run, whether that be in a purely positive way, or in a negative way.



In 2024 I would like to release more frequent medium sized updates every 2 months. These updates should be about 50/50 in terms of new content and polishing. Expect updated existing states, along with possibly some new ones. Also expect a lot of new and remade bosses as well.



Anyways thank you for the continued support. I read all the comments/reviews and greatly appreciate them. This is also part of the reason why I have continued to support this game until it is completed.

Dream Flash early access version 21.2 is out now. I also released version 21.1 a few weeks ago but I didn't announce that one in its own post.



Anyways there were 4 new items added in demo 21.1, plus some other QoL stuff. Demo 21.2 comes with a lot of bug fixes.

[Changelog]

Dream Flash Early Access Update 21 is finally out. This update comes with a bunch of bug fixes, quality of life changes, and 4 brand new bosses.

Full Changelog



Originally I wanted to add some more stuff to this update but I ran out of time, so expect an update 21.1 or 21.5 sometime next month. That should have 3-4 new items, more quality of life changes, more boss champion variants, and probably bug fixes.

Anyways thanks for playing the game! The game is currently on sale as part of the Steam SHMUP Fest. If you got any friends who you think would like the game maybe let them know or gift it to them, now is a good time.
