small update

crafted some better nuance to the first few metroidvania steps. It now leads you on more of an interesting journey to get the first few body parts. There's a bit more back and forth now, but hopefully in a way that encourages exploration and establishes more meaningful connections between levels and overworld

metroidvania patch

The game now has a light metroidvania structure! However, for people who already have save-games from before this patch, this structure is ignored. This is because, for first time players anytime after this patch, you need to find powerups before you can do things like triple jump, enter sokobans, do gravity flips, etc. For those of you with older save games however, that wouldn't make sense and/or would ruin you progression - so instead you now just have all those powerups already If you have an existing save but you still want to experience this metroidvania layer, you can start a new game and then you're free to discover the powerups from scratch. Hope that all makes sense! This is just first steps with the metroidvania aspect so it's pretty low-key for now - it'll take a little while to finesse it into something special Hope you enjoy!

Dream of the Star Haven is transitioning to premium

Hey folks! Just saying hi to let you know we're transitioning Dream of the Star Haven from a free to a paid (premium) game If you already have the game in your library you're all good, you still get to keep it forever for free It'll still be in early access for a while, and even at its final release we're aiming to keep it a short(ish) and sweet experience, so it wont cost a bunch In a nutshell the decision has come out of how happy we are with how the new sokoban layer of the game! We can see a lot of depth continuing to emerge from it and these puzzles will add plenty of extra gameplay hours to sink your teeth into. In a larger sense we also believe in the principle that everyone should honour the value of their work! If you (or your friends) haven't got it already you can still snag it for free for the next few days, then after that it'll be premium (ie one up-front payment, no in-game purchases etc) Hope you're enjoying your time in the haven! Cheers Al Thumm from Orchid of Redemption

Small update: more new sokobans

Added a couple more new sokobans. They're hidden around the place and generally replace some of the starburst challenges that were previously just "find a key". We're cruising now! Lots puzzles to come :) Come say hi in the Discord if want to chat and share your experiences! https://discord.gg/rNJ7hpSWus

Small patch: introducing sokobans!

This is the first look at the new sokobans that'll become a large part of the game moving forward. For now there's just a couple of basic ones in the overworld, and in the coming months we'll add more throughout the levels We've had a shot of inspiration, so we now have a master plan for how these puzzles are going to round out the game to completion More soon!

Mouse Support

Added mouse support in all menus

Small Update, and New Level Added

added new level "Sun Dazed" - it's a standalone regular level (ie not a challenge level), and will eventually lead on to other levels in the same (desert) biome polished title screen various small UI polishes tweaked the timing of the laser statue-heads so you have more time to attack them and hide, before they attack you


[ 2024-02-12 03:17:09 CET ] [ Original post ]

Small Patch

fixed a bug on the title screen - this may have been preventing the mouse from working on Linux/Steam Deck. This also fixes the issue of the "WASD" UI on the title screen not changing to controller icons when any controller input is pressed updated the level "Reorientations" after player feedback, to make it more unique, and to provide more beginners-context for gravity-flipping interactions to come in later levels updated all menu UIs with a first pass of visual polish
