About the Decision to Stop Updating Dreamstranded and My Compensation Plan

Hello everyone,

I'm the sole developer of this game.

First of all, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to every player who has bought and played Dreamstranded. Your support, feedback, and even criticism have been invaluable experiences in my life. At the same time, I owe you a sincere apology – as my very first indie game, it has obvious flaws in gameplay design and content depth, and it hasn't brought you the lasting enjoyment I had hoped for. This is entirely due to my limited experience and skills.

Over the past period, I've been trying to iterate and improve the game, but honestly, with my personal time and limited resources, it's very difficult to make fundamental changes within the existing framework. After careful consideration, I've decided to stop all future content updates for Dreamstranded and focus all my energy on developing a new title.

Compensation Plan

All players who own Dreamstranded – whether purchased directly or activated via a key – will receive a free Steam key for my next game (and for all subsequent new games as well) when they launch, until the total value of the keys provided equals the original price of Dreamstranded.

How to claim:

Please reach out to me through the "Social Media" links on the game's store page (right-hand sidebar), such as Discord or X. Send me the following two pieces of information via private message (please do not post them directly in the group):

Your SteamID (the 17-digit number – this is used to verify that you own the game).

Your preferred email address (to receive the keys for future games).

Important notes:

There is no deadline for this compensation. You can contact me at any time – as long as I'm still making games, this promise holds.

After verifying your SteamID, I will send the keys to your email address before the new game launches. I'll also post an announcement on Steam at that time.
