It was never announced, but I took The Dreamer Must Die to PAX West this year. It was a ton of work, but very much worth it for the player feedback I got. I really should find some kind of community manager to do this kind of stuff... Anyway, the game has over 600 wishlists!!

I'm taking a week off to decompress, and get some networking done (I have so many business cards.) But now that PAX is over, I'm free to finally work to the first early access release.

On to the update, the game has been re-balanced and enemy AI rewritten to compliment the targeting lock-on system. Instead of tracking bullets, the enemies reinforce a "3D bullet hell" experience. Lots of other improvements have been made as well.
Hope you all have fun!

Let's get right into the details:

• Updated credits
  
• Rebalanced arena fights
  
• Added an input guide when picking up boxes
  
• Fixed log-out option in the "real-world" computer
  
• Fixed piercing and homing shot equipment/abilities
  
• Shops now show how much money you currently have
  
• Fixed a soft-lock with a certain NPC's dialog
  
• Switched to DX11 on Windows from DX12 due to multiple visual issues
  
• Fixed visual issues of a certain stationary enemy
  
• Probably more that I'm forgetting
