10 years, you ask? But surely this is only the second anniversary?

And yes, it is true that this is the second anniversary of cyberpunkdreams' release on Steam, but I first started work on the game in 2013, using Failbetter Games' StoryNexus platform. My goal at the time was to have something playable within a month. I hit that goal and started inviting testers into the game from that time. A lot of the content I wrote in that first month is still in the game, including the opening lines.

So, apart from a brief hiatus from when FBG shut down StoryNexus and my new engine was ready, cyberpunkdreams has had people in it and playing it for 10 years now. The initial beta on Steam opened in August 2020, and the game was released fully in May 2021 -- two years ago today!

It's been quite a journey, and there's a long way to go yet. Luckily, I'm not anywhere near running out of steam. My only problem is far too many ideas to handle. As ever, stay tuned for more updates and more on the latest plans. And also as ever, thanks to everyone who's played the game and supported the project over the years. But now onto the important stuff.



We've got a few things for you over the coming week:

• The much coveted Sinzil Crimson X phone will be back for less than 24 hours. Check Discord for the access code.
  
• The Akizowear Zone One phone will also be back and available via an access code for the week.
  
• Two unique stories; one from last year and one completely new one. Playing the game during the event will unlock these, but there's no time pressure to finish them.
  
• Some unique or rare items to find by exploring in game,
  
• Unique items and previews shared via access codes.
  

[h2]Unique stories[/h2]

The first of these, The traitor you choose, was in the game last time. You need to have various criteria to start it; we won't spoil it. It'll auto-trigger when it's ready. The second, Deep Stacks, is new. You need to be renting a place in Eastside Stacks in the Projects to start it, and to be hanging out there. Both of these stories can have a lasting impact on your game, so make your decisions wisely.



[h2]Access codes[/h2]

We'll be sharing a few throughout the week on our Discord server, which you can join here:

https://discord.gg/cyberpunkdreams

All the codes will require you to play during the event in order to activate them. We might also share a few on Steam, starting with the Zone One, in case you missed it last time:

Once again, thanks again for all the fun and support over the years!
