Why Early Access?

“We’re using Early Access as a way to shape Dream Slayers alongside our community. The game is built around high-stakes extraction mechanics, deep progression systems, and evolving content. We truly believe the best way to balance and improve these systems is by involving real players early on. Community feedback will help us refine the core gameplay loop, polish features, and ensure the game delivers a satisfying and re-playable experience. Dream Slayers started development in January 2025, and is hand built by one person. We thought it be best to get the game out and expand the scope as players slay there nightmares!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we don’t have a fixed end date, we currently anticipate being in Early Access for at least 12 months. This will give us time to expand the game’s content, test and balance systems with the community, and refine the overall experience. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Dream Slayers is planned to include additional features, dream raids, character customization options, and late-game systems. We aim to grow the game’s content and polish through consistent updates, which may include:

New playable dream forms and weapons

Expanded raid dungeons and environments

Enhanced combat and loot systems

More cosmetic customization and seasonal events

Additional social features the "Dream Society"

We want the full version to feel like a robust, feature-complete experience that offers plenty of depth and re-playability. Shaped by player feedback every step of the way.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features the core gameplay loop: players can explore dream Raids, battle Nightmares, collect and upgrade gear, and extract with loot. Core systems such as combat, extraction, crafting, and progression are in place and functional, though still evolving. We are actively testing multiplayer stability, balance, and performance, and early adopters can expect a solid foundation with regular content and system updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are happy to report that Dream Slayers will always remain a Free-To-Play Game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

We’ll share regular development updates, host community polls, and even bring players into limited testing sessions to trial new features. Your feedback will help guide balancing decisions, feature prioritization, and content development.”
