As some of you have already noticed, things have started to move inside the machine lately.

The good news is that we're finally getting ready to release Chapter 4. The final assets are being finessed as I type this, and testing is going really well.

We're so confident in fact that we've set a release date - August 1. Mark your calenders, folks!

The weird news is that we've reshuffled the game a bit, and added a sixth chapter.

Our original plan was that Chapter 4 would contain three small dreams, but once we started working on them they grew in scope and ended up getting very big indeed. This ended up causing some performance problems, so we decided to cut Chapter 4 into two separate chapters, effectively giving the game six chapters.

Q: So, if I bought the bundle back when it was only five chapters do I have to buy the last one separately?
A: You get all of them, you beauty!

We hope you like that piece of news.

We've just released a minor update to the game. Most notably, we added drag'n'drop functionality to some of the close-ups. If you want to rearrange the dream diaries for instance, you don't have to go the long way via the inventory flap any more. You can just drag'n'drop them directly where you want them. It's a minor change, but it really makes rearranging things way faster and more intuitive.

It will become more heavily featured during the coming chapters, but since it's an engine level change it's very easy to retro-fit into the older chapters as well. Which is a sweet perk!

• Engine: Added drag'n'drop functionality during close-ups
• Game: Upgraded some inventory icons to high-res versions
• Chapter 1: Added functionality in Neff's kitchen
• Chapter 1: Fixed the disappearing hole bug on the island
• Chapter 1: Upgraded some graphical assets to high-res versions
• Chapter 2: Added drag'n'drop functionality to Morton's bookshelf
• Chapter 2: Upgraded some graphical assets to high-res versions
• Chapter 2: Added drag'n'drop functionality to rock puzzle
• Chapter 3: Upgraded some graphical assets to high-res versions
• Chapter 3: Fixed minor graphical issue in the maw
• Chapter 3: Added auto save points

We hope you dig these tiny tweaks!
