Sunrise in The Way of Ones :)

[ditherdream]

Fun milestone: I just saw from the achievement data that some people have completed all the islands!

I guess it’s not really surprising, it’s just really nice to see evidence of strangers really enjoying DitherDream! I’ll definitely add achievements (and maybe other analytics?) earlier in the process on the next project!

DitherDream is DitherDone with Early Access!

After about a year in development, DitherDream has really become something beautiful, and I'm immensely proud of it. I hope you enjoy it too!

This particular update has the following changes:

Added Achievements

Added a new Harmony Island

Lots of VFX changes and island tweaks

Player is now slimy in 3D

Limited time 30% discount to get everyone off the fence!

DitherDream is releasing this time next week!

It's been a fun journey, and I can't wait to share the full version with you all! This final update will basically be a beautification of everything you've seen so far, plus achievements on Steam!

Wishlist if you haven't yet!

The best part of 3d model asset packs is being able to get out of this stage ASAP, at least in my experience. They can be creatively limiting in the long term but the sheer morale boost of having things look like things instead of boxes means that a lot of my projects start out with a giant pile of placeholder synty models as soon as the very basic mechanics are in.

This probably doesn’t apply to people that are better at 3D modeling? Idk though.

gamedev is great because all my levels look like this at the beginning and I have to assure myself it'll look good in the end if I trust the process and I'm not a complete hack

The Colony of Enclaves is Open!

DitherDream is a trippy little exploration game in Early Access on Steam and Itch.io, and The Colony of Enclaves is the newest of dozens of little islands to explore and solve. A new island is added every Friday until full release later this year!

DitherDream Update 6: Colors of Dust

Major Changes:

New Colors: I'm letting go of just dithering between two colors, and now dithering between three pairs of colors. This lets the game highlight and emphasize certain things without relying as much on potentially nauseating shader motion, and makes things even more beautiful!

New Dust: The old Way of Dust has been scrapped and replaced with three new Dust islands that use a new mechanic.

And of course, there are dozens of smaller changes that I'll leave you to discover on your own.

Congratulations to the workers at Bethesda!

I've been playing around with making the sun a bit more visible, and a bit prettier! This isn't final, but I really like where it's going.

DitherDream Update 5 is here!

Clouds have been added to the sky, dramatically improving the look of most vistas in my humble opinion. They also make the game a bit more comfortable to play for those who suffer from motion sickness.

Several new islands have been added too, including one from a new region! I'll be vague this time though, so that you can find them on your own.

Additionally, some tweaks have been made to how portals are laid out in The Nest, so as to better communicate and enable your opportunities for further exploration.

All in all, some solid improvements for the game, I'm really happy with how things are going!

Check it out on Steam now:

I added clouds to the sky in DitherDream!

They really just kinda popped in looking nice off the bat, and they also help to mitigate motion sickness a bit too, I think. All in all they just really make the archipelago feel like a nicer place to be.

I'll tweak them more of course, but I just had to celebrate a little.

[ditherdream]

Y'know, I think maybe game development is worth it after all

[ditherdream]

Update 4 is is out to patrons!

This one brings a new save system, two new islands, and a ton of improvements to existing islands, like the newer nest that you can see here!

We're getting towards the end of early access and it's really exciting to see the game coming together like this!

Oh and if you're not a patron that's fine, it'll be out on Steam and Itch.io in a week!

I like the boop update 8)
