Dreaming Door Returns! Golden Treasure 2, Story Creator, Patreon and More!
The stars are aligned, and the time has come for the Dreaming Door to open and the studio to embark on a new adventure. 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…
Announcing Golden Treasure 2: Hierophant!
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!
The Story Creator - Out Now!
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.”

This was a major relief! I love this game with all my soul and recommend it to people whenever I get the chance. It's such a beautiful and well-crafted game, I can't imagine having it end so early.
I was so worried Hierophant was abandoned. It's great to hear this update.
Well remember, we had a pandemic hit, and a war start, since then. All of that makes it harder to work. Things may be slow, but I don't think these guys would abandon anything. :P
I am HYPE!! ;O;
