Today, Golden Treasure: The Great Green is being featured on Steam as a special daily sale! It features the deepest discount in our 5-year history. Never has there been a better time to pick it up, either for yourself or a friend who might be ready to take the journey of Life as one of the Draak-Kin. If you haven't tried it yet, the free demo awaits!

We are also very pleased to announce the Traditional Chinese update, which adds that written language to the English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese versions. Like all of the others, it was carefully wrought, with human beings instead of machines as the translators and editors. We welcome Traditional Chinese users to the Path!

Special thanks to Leo, who spearheaded the Traditional Chinese version, and the entire localization team in China, including Scalescarver, Rednut, Ari, and others. May they, and all of you, be blessed as Earth dances on.

After many months of work, our wonderful team of translators has completed their monumental task. Golden Treasure: The Great Green, a game about life from a dragon's perspective, is now available in simplified Chinese.

Those who are new to the game will be prompted to choose a language at the beginning, while current players can switch between English, Spanish, and simplified Chinese at any time in the Settings menu.

We would like to recognize the heroic efforts of Ari, Rednut, Scalescarver, Leo, and everyone else who contributed to this effort to bring Golden Treasure to more people than ever before. Because of the poetic nature of the game, we did not even consider using a machine translation. Preserving the poetic and artistic spirit of the work would be too great a task for any AI, and a very daunting one even for a talented team of real people, but our translators and editors were up to the challenge.

A few bugs have also been fixed in the main game, leaving it cleaner than ever.

Look for more news on Hierophant soon, and follow our progress and projects on Patreon!

May you be blessed.

Dreaming Door Studios is pleased to announce that the Chinese-language demo for Golden Treasure: The Great Green, a game about life as a dragon in the wild, has been released! The demo can be downloaded for free here on Steam, and once installed may be played in Spanish, English, or Chinese. The demo contains hours of gameplay and is a perfect introduction to life as a mighty Draak-Kin.

The full Chinese-language version is scheduled for release later this summer. An exclusive branch containing more of the game in Chinese will be made available to influencers; feel free to contact Dreaming Door for inquiries regarding it.

Additionally, Golden Treasure: The Great Green is now 50% off in the Steam summer sale! It's our biggest sale of the year, so feel free to take advantage of it and spend less shiny things.

In other news, development on Hierophant, the first sequel to Golden Treasure: The Great Green, continues apace! The Dreaming Door Patreon recently hosted an epic fan-created alien species contest, and four fan designs were chosen to be represented in the game! We thank our wonderful Patrons for their support of all kinds, especially creative. We could not exist without you! Any kindly Kin looking to help us continue production on the sequel (and in seeing lots of cool new artwork) are encouraged to investigate.

Look for the full Chinese language release later this summer, and may you be blessed.

After many months of hard work, the fully-translated Spanish language version of Golden Treasure is now available! Huge thanks go out to our tireless Spanish translator and everyone who helped test the Spanish version of the game. Language can be switched at any time via the Settings menu. We'd love to hear from any new players about their experience in the Great Green.

But we're not stopping there! Many people from around the world have voiced their desire to share Golden Treasure with their friends in other languages. Our Chinese localization is making excellent progress, and we hope to have it ready by summer.

Our gratitude to those who hold Golden Treasure in their hearts and push us to make it available to even more people is beyond words.

May you be blessed!

Over 10,000 people have now enjoyed Golden Treasure: The Great Green, our first story about coming of age as a dragon on ancient Earth. Though it released to little fanfare, its impact has been deep, and we have been honored to hear from people all over the world about how the game has changed their perceptions of the great and beautiful Onesong in which we all Dance.

Since we released the free Time of Creation expansion in 2021, the studio has been resoundingly quiet, largely due to economic realities; touching hearts does not always equal making money. But Dreaming Door Studios was not made to tell just one tale, and The Great Green was never intended to be a lone ship at sea, but instead a harbor. It was a starting point from which even more new and wonderful stories can be told, art can be crafted and shared, and the story of the Draak-Kin People, spanning Time and Space without boundary, can be continued. To that end…


The next chapter in the Golden Treasure saga will be like the last, but also very different. A young dragon awakens on a fascinating world far from Earth and Sun. Forced at birth into the powerful role of Hierophant, ruler and guide of an entire sentient species, they will very quickly learn that power is both a fang and a chain. With massive resources and thousands of lives at their disposal, the infant Draak-Kin begins to explore a world even more vast and varied than Old Earth, but this time, not at all alone. A grand symphony of discovery, intrigue, diplomacy, conflict and transformation begins. The dragons of Earth will take on new forms, and face a threat far more dangerous than the one that drove them to the stars.

Like the Great Green, Hierophant will combine thoughtful writing, creative ideas, beautiful handmade art and outside-the-box philosophy to create something we believe will be original and wonderful. The world of Newhome is unlike any fantasy or science fiction world yet, with unique ecosystems, radically unusual species (no humans or even human-like beings exist on Newhome), new physical laws, and more. However…

We shall not build it alone! After having witnessed the beautiful creative abilities of many Golden Treasure players through the art and stories they have created, we’d like to make this journey together! If you are interested in helping us build Newhome, visit our brand-new Dreaming Door Studios Patreon. There, you can learn much more about the world of Newhome and how you can influence its history and people. We would love for you to join us. Newhome awaits!


In 2019, we announced that we were working on the “Infinite Green” project, a way of allowing Golden Treasure players to customize their Great Green experience, add to it, or even write whole new stories using the game engine. Though it took three and a half years and a tremendous amount of work, we are at least ready to release the Story Creator to the general public. Alter text and data within the game, add new events to any one of the three main maps, use and manage user-created mods, or even write your own saga with the easy-to-use tools that make crafting choice-based interactive fiction a (relative) breeze. Check out the Dreaming Door website for more information on the Story Creator, and download it from Steam, itch, or moddb.

There is much more to share. Quite a few things have been patched. A new profile system has been introduced, so you can have more than one playthrough file and others can play on your system without messing up your data. We are hard at work on Spanish and Chinese versions of GT1 (let us know if you’re a native speaker of a particular language and would like to help translate!) so that more people can enjoy the feeling of the high cold wind on their feathers at first flight. Much has already been done in preparation for Dreaming Door’s reemergence from slumber. We hope that you will join us in the continuing Dream.

See you on Patreon, and as the Draak-Kin say,

“May you be blessed.”

P.S. Golden Treasure is currently half off on Steam until August 14, 2023 for the Visual Novel Sale.

Spring is here, and with it, the sacred Time of Creation. It’s an exciting endeavor for all goodbeasts, and the Draak-Kin are no exception!

After many, many months of writing, painting, tweaking and bug-smashing, the Time of Creation content is now ready to be released. This special addition to Golden Treasure: The Great Green adds seven unique events dealing with the creation of the next generation of the Draak.

We had originally planned to release this as paid downloadable content, but the price we finally settled on was zero dollars. That’s right… the Time of Creation will be a free update! Version 1.5 of the game will also feature a host of bug fixes. Many thanks go out to the Golden Treasure community for its invaluable help in testing and fixing the new version of the game.

With this, we consider the story of the Spiritkeeper complete. We will continue to keep an eye out for bugs, but there are no more major content additions planned.



Approximately halfway through Part 3, the player will receive a special message event telling them that the Time of Creation, as the denizens of the Great Green call it, has begun. At that point, new sigils will begin to appear on the map concerning this. Prospective partners and events will appear based on certain conditions, though there are a few which must be sought out.


Five Draak, some familiar and some new, are featured in the Time of Creation as potential partners. While it is possible to romance more than one, your reputation will suffer if you are too enterprising, so choose wisely. The future of the Draak-Kin depends on it!


Though the new events do deal with finding a partner in the act of Creation, this is a process as spiritual as it is physical. Dreaming Door is a place of poetry, not pornography, and neither words nor images will go beyond a PG-13 rating.


Work on the Story Creator has been on hiatus for quite some time now, but we’re not giving up on it just yet! Watch this space over the next few months for further updates on bringing your own stories and art to the Great Green.

We hope you enjoy the new content, and may you be blessed!

The solstice is upon us! Earth and Sun continue their Dance, and here on the coldward side of the planet things are dark and icy, but will grow lighter and warmer with each passing hour until summer. Many human civilizations are holding festivals of light and plenty to encourage Sun’s long journey back to supremacy.

And this solstice also brings our biggest sale ever!

Right now, Golden Treasure is available on Steam for a whopping for 50% off, as well as its soundtrack! We have never sold the Draak-Kin experience for so little, and we do not intend for it to ever be less. If you have not yet spread your wings, there will never be a better time! It also makes a great Steam gift for a thoughtful person on your list.

The “Time of Creation” DLC is but a few weeks away, and will only cost a few dollars American. We look forward to ringing in the new year with new content and stories, and may your solstice bring you peace and power.

Happy Holidays from Dreaming Door Studios!

Golden Treasure: The Great Green was designed with modding in mind. Though the game already boasts nearly 100 events, the unique map-based open-world structure leaves room for many, many more. Now, at last, players will be able to add their own art, writing and events, making the possibilities truly endless.

I speak, of course, of the new Time of Creation content. The DLC includes seven brand-new events in Act 3 centered around continuing the Draak-Kin bloodline, complete with a new Tarot Card to unlock.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Time of Creation, however, is the Story Creator tool which will be released alongside the new content, allowing our beloved players to craft new events. These events may be Timed Events (to be automatically triggered when the player reaches a certain point or makes certain choices) or Map Events (to be placed on the map and chosen at the player’s convenience). In time, the Great Green may grow to boast dozens or even hundreds more adventures!

All players, regardless of whether or not they own the new DLC, will be able to modify their game by adding on the stories of others. The primary vehicle for this will be the Steam Workshop, which allows one to easily download custom content.

Given the wonderful fan art, stories and role-playing experiences which the game has already inspired, we are hoping for many, many wonderful new entries to the world of Golden Treasure. Particularly excellent ones may even be selected to be patched into the main game (with the creator’s permission, of course).

The Time of Creation DLC will mark the end of Dreaming Door’s creative journey on our first major project. Once it is released, we will turn towards the next entry in the Golden Treasure series. A great deal of design work has already been done on it, and it promises to be a completely different gameplay experience from the first, though it will feature the same high-quality art and writing for which Golden Treasure has become known.

With the writing and art nearly complete, you may expect to see Time of Creation available within the month. We offer our most sincere apologies for the delay, and hope that you will join us in exploring the many meanings of Creation through this singular addition to Dreaming Door’s first gaming experience.

Alas, if only it were just rain. The snow has already begun to fall here, and the coldward part of the Great Mother will soon enter its slumber and awaken to a new Turning.

In the meantime, Dreaming Door Studios is hard at work on the expansion of Golden Treasure: The Great Green. Entitled Time of Creation, it adds several new events to Part 3 of the game in which the player has opportunities to help forge the next generation of the Draak-Kin. Are you worthy of performing the sacred Dance of Creation, and if so, whom might you choose (and who might choose you)?

We are also working quite hard on our custom event creator. This tool will allow others to create, edit and implement their own wondrous encounters. We’ll share more details on that in the coming weeks, as well as on how the expansion will be available and for what price. (It will certainly not be more than $5 American, but we are still considering the minutiae.)

While we had hoped to have it ready for all of our beloved Dreamers at the end of October, Life once again decided to interfere. Our writer/director was out of commission for over a month, pushing the release date back at least to the end of November accordingly. Rest assured that no time is being wasted!

To help ease the pain, here is a sneak peek at the art for the first event of the Time of Creation. When you witness this in your journey, you will know that the Time has come!

We are happy to announce that Golden Treasure: The Great Green will be at its lowest price ever!
For the next week, the game will be 25% off!



This is the best deal you will be able to get for some time! If you've been waiting to start your life as a dragon, now is your chance!

We at Dreaming Door are hard at work expanding the game for the Time of Creation. The studio is abuzz with energy preparing for modding, additional story content and some other things that are still in progress. Until that is ready to be revealed, please take the chance to live the Golden Treasure experience at a reduced price.
