Dream Flash News

Hey Everyone, we made it. Dream Flash Early Access 20 is finally out. This is a pretty big update that adds new items, bosses, and a new state.

Changelog




Some of my favorite items and bosses got added in this update. I'm really happy with how the game is turning out. Every run feels completely different and exciting now. I spent a lot of dev time just polishing stuff added in this update, and in previous updates.




Anyways I'm feeling pretty good about how development is going. I keep increasing the amount of updates I have planned which is probably not good. However I also want to avoid spending more than 2 months per update b/c this one took too long.




Alright that's it for now. Expect like idk 2-3 more updates this year maybe, each one half as big as this one? That sounds about right.

Thanks for playing!




Update 6/8: Demo 20.1 is out now, fixed a bunch of bugs. The list of changes is in the above changelog.

Hey Everyone Dream Flash Early Access 19.5 is out! This update has a lot of quality of life changes and stuff under the hood that I had to finish up.

List of Changes



I also updated a few bosses to look way better and have more champs. I hope to make every boss have this level of quality in the future.



Anyways thats it, this is a smaller update that I wanted to get out by the end of the year. I have a lot of content planned for 2023. Originally I only planned to do 1 more content update before the final update. However now I am planning on doing 3 content updates and then the huge final update. I want this game to be as good as possible!

Thanks for playing and enjoying the game so much! I wouldn't spend this much effort on it if it wasn't for you guys!

Dream Flash Early Access is out now! This update comes with a bunch of updated bosses, a new state, and some new items/weapons. There are also a bunch of QoL additions that make the game better.



As you can see the ground now has real intricate texture instead of just being a solid color with a slight gradient. In addition to this every stage now has a full music track with an intense combat variant when fighting bosses.



Thanks for playing Dream Flash so far. I've been pretty busy irl so this one took a while longer. Hopefully I can get update 20 out by the end of the year. Early Access 20 will be the last early access update. After that I will be working on the mega release update which will be huge and add cool endgame stuff. Expect lots of surprises. Hope you are looking forward to it.

Hey everyone, DF early access update 18.1 is out now. This is a small polish update that adds QoL stuff like performance optimization and some other things.

List of Changes:

• New Settings for low graphics mode, turning off screenshake, and turning off particle effects
  
• New Recollection Index Visuals
  
• New Item thought cloud visuals
  
• New Pause menu visuals
  
• Bullets will lag less now, particles as well
  
• Nervous Thoughts 100% Split Damage -> 50% Split Damage
  
• Fixed Can’t remember boss image
  

The next update will be more QoL stuff. Think of it as adding a bunch of things to make the game feel 'finished'. I'll also be adding a bunch of new sound effects to the game as those are sorely needed. Hopefully we can also get some new music in the game too. Look forward to it!

Dream Flash Demo 18 is finally out! This is a huge update that adds 58 new items, heavily changes up game mechanics, and adds a bunch of visual renovations.



The main change in this update is that spiritual stats each have their own item pool now. These items could either enhance or devastate your run so you'll need to think carefully about what you pick.

Demo 18 List of Changes



There was also a demo 17.5 update that added new art work and improved attacks to the masked spirits. I probably should have announced that when it came out since I didn't think demo 18 would take this long. But anyways those 17.5 changes were planned to be in demo 18 so think of it as one big mega update.

I'd say Dream Flash is now about 70-80% maybe. The two updates (18.5/19) will be mainly polish and visual renovation. Once those are out I will no longer be updating the early access version of the game and will instead be working on the full release update. I have no idea how long this will take but it is probably going to be a long time as I plan on adding a large chunk of content to the game.



Hope you enjoy this update and any upcoming updates!
