Dreaming Sarah News

Hi everyone,

I've been working on Dreaming Sarah since around Dec. 2012, and I usually ran into so much trouble that I got demotivated, slowing down the whole process of actually making the game.

So today I heard about this jam - the Finish a Game Jam - and decided to try it out.

Here's the deal - I'll be working on the game this whole week to try and finish the game by next weekend. There's still a bit to be done, but I want to do everything I can to finish it as soon as possible. Of course this might mean some nasty bugs, but after I'm done with the base game, I can stop then sort them out.

Also, I'm racing with the Painter's Guild dev Lucas Molina to see who finishes first! Guess we should bet or something but in the end all we want is to work more on our games.

You can also check out the development stream at http://www.hitbox.tv/andreyin - I'll try to keep on streaming the whole time, so if you have any comments, suggestions or just want to say hi, you can go on the chat and do it.

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone!

This is a quick update to fix a few bugs and add the Steam overlay. No new areas or items have been added in this update.

Here's the list of fixes:

- Added Steam overlay support

- Fixed umbrella + magnifying glass bug
- Fixed fish-related bugs
- Fixed lava sound bug
- Fixed menu bugs
- Fixed save-related bugs
- Fixed the analog and d-pad controls not working on some areas
- Fixed the "change control" menu not going back to main menu
- Fixed being able to open item menu while getting an item
- Fixed being able to help the pianist without having the bullet
- Fixed description of the glasses item
- Fix volume buttons for songs
- Released Mac/Linux versions

I still want to release the game this month but due to limitations the official release might be in January (since I probably will have to wait for the steam sales to end before releasing it for real). This means that I soon as I get the game done I'll release it as a Early Access still, then wait until I can release it as a full version.

Thanks for the support!! ːfdiskː
