Version a0.06

Version a0.06 is the currently in-development build of DreamLink 3D. While neither a0.04, nor a0.05 were released publicly, the developers decided to move to a new version number due to the time gap between development of the last version, and of this one. Development formally started on April 4th, 2023, and is ongoing.

This list will contain changes only made since version a0.05, and not the last publicly-available build.

## New Dreamscapes

### Placeholders

These Dreamscapes currently have ID slots internally, but have not been filled in yet. They were added due to other Dreamscapes having warp dependencies into these areas, that was causing development to slow due to the missing maps.

## Existing Dreamscapes

There are many changes made to already-existing areas as well, mostly for additions to warps and items.

### Altered Gardens

* The height of this map has been changed from 7 to 2, and the overall layout of the lights has been altered to reduce lag and glitching.

## The Hub

Additions

* There is now a DR shop accessible from the main terminal. This is a restored functionality from older versions.

### Changes

* The textures for the Hub's floor are now all grey and grate-like. This probably isn't final, but I wanted to make the textures less ugly for now.
* The player now hops in and out of the bed upon entering the Dreamscape and waking up.
* The temporary door leading to the Balcony no longer softlocks you by sending you to the top of the hanging sign in the background of the Hub upon trying to return.

## Items

This update comes with many new items in every aspect of the game, and updates many existing items.

### New Items

* Veneer Visor - This key item lets you edit the filters overlaid onto the game for visual comfort, accessibility purposes, or to just change how the game looks! It's given at the start of a new save file now because it's part of the player's default look.
* Dream Web - Has no functionality or visuals, but this key item is available for purchase in the DR Shop.

### Changed Items

* Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple, Pink, White, Gray, Black, Salmon, Melon, Amber, Jade, Marine, Periwinkle, Lavender, Rose, Crimson, Brown, Forest, Navy, Indigo, and Rainbow Capes -- These are now purchasable in the DR shop and are now physically shown in your inventory. You still must change them at the Hub terminal however.
* Dream Camera - This key item is now available in the DR shop.

### Other Changes

* The Items screen on the menu now has 3 tabs: Items, Capes, and Key Items.
* All items will now have a menu icon and description to aid in organization, readability to players, and charm.

## The Manifest System

### Additions

* The Manifest cells now can be charged up to 3 additional times, changing color and cost as you go.
* The game now prompts you to confirm spell entry, to prevent misclicks or using too much DR on a spell.
* There are now 6 more cape trim colors possible to be given upon spell entry. These new colors are orange, yellow, lime, teal, purple, and pink.

### Changes

* Manifest cells now cost DR and the cost increases as you go. Starting at 20 DR per cell, then 50, then 100, and finally 200 per cell.
* Specter Avoidance I is now orange instead of red, due to changes to the overall magic system.
* Manifest spells are now stored using an ID system internally, leading to more organization and readability.
