Hello, Travelers!
Every night, seeing your footprints fill the skies of The Rapids deeply touches our development team. The countless fragments of adventure and the stories you’ve shared since our last update have served as a solid blueprint, helping us shape the next form of Shape of Dreams more clearly. We would like to begin by expressing our deepest gratitude to all of you who are walking alongside us in the journey of creating the world of Shape of Dreams.
This coming summer, this update will be released sequentially in two parts: "Dreams Grow Darker" and "The Starless Path." The "Dreams Grow Darker" update will focus on diversifying and improving the gameplay experience, while "The Starless Path" aims to provide Travelers with a new path of adventure and exploration as a larger main update to deliver a fresh journey.
With the promise that "The Dream Never Fades," we would like to share the future vision that we are currently getting ready.
Our goal is to ensure that every unique build born from your imagination is fully competitive within the game. To achieve this, a massive number of new Memories, Essences, and stars will be added to expand the freedom of building composition. Furthermore, we are readying various changes to revitalize builds that have been overlooked—in particular, we are planning meticulous adjustments specifically targeting Critical Strike Chance builds.
Cosmetic items will be added to make your adventures in The Rapids more casual and enjoyable. From stunning Costumes to unique Emotes and Souvenirs, a variety of new decorations await our Travelers.
A mysterious new Traveler, bringing a chilling frost to the world of dreams, officially joins The Rapids. An Executor originating from the Lucid Cult, he is a character about to begin a rugged journey to cleanse the past sins engraved upon him. No longer fearing the cold, he possesses icy skin and a detached expression, yet his heart remains filled with warmth for his companions.
Follow the footsteps of Travelers that have been veiled in secrecy until now. The existing Traveler Mastery system will expand into a much deeper progression system, "The Way of Stars." Every time you play a Traveler, interesting episodes will connect one by one, like Constellations, revealing hidden backstories. Unlock special rewards along the way—such as beautiful illustrations and limited-edition Emotes—and dive deeper into the story of the dream world.
We know that many of our veteran Travelers have already understood the current boss patterns to perfection. To deliver a constant sense of tension that goes beyond stale, fixed strategies, we have introduced a system that diversifies the attack patterns of Heroic Bosses. Prove your limits once again as you face bosses armed with unpredictable new skills! And at the end of these pouring trials, in the most secretive place of the dream world, Travelers will encounter a new final boss. Discover a new conclusion for The Rapids and its Travelers as you forge a path that is yours alone (Mine Only) through the countless starlight.
The changes introduced through this roadmap will arrive in the world of dreams sequentially over the upcoming updates. Rather than a single, one-off patch, we have evolved our structure into a continuous, multi-part project to eliminate the tedious wait and pack each release with dense, high-quality content. We ask for your high expectations and support for this consecutive journey ahead. We at Lizard Smoothie will never stop and will continue to shape this world so that Shape of Dreams remains a place of endless fun for you. Thank you always for letting us hear your voices and for walking this path with us.
Bon Voyage!
