Lizard Smoothie 💫Hello Travelers,Thank you for always exploring the world of dreams with Shape of Dreams.
Thanks to your feedback and passion, the dream world continues to evolve and expand.In this March update, we have introduced new challenges, systems, and a large-scale balance adjustment aimed at expanding build diversity.
Face new threats and rewards within the Rapids, and create your own unique builds in more ways than before.Below are the major highlights of this update.
To celebrate the Year of the Red Horse, limited commemorative souvenirs will be distributed throughout the year.
The Mist of Pain is covering the Rapids.Battles within the mist will be more difficult, but you will be able to obtain a special reward called Corrupted Chaos.
Two new shrines have been added to help you complete the build you want.At the Remnants of Luck, you can spend gold to increase the number of reward options.The Remnants of Destiny allows you to sacrifice the quality of Essences you currently possess in exchange for different Essences.Both shrines can be discovered while traveling through the Rapids.
A Hungry Maw born from ruin awaits unfortunate souls.In addition, multiple new secrets have been added that you may encounter while exploring the Rapids.
Due to many player requests, outfits that allow you to change the Traveler’s appearance have been added as a way to thank you for your continued support.Show off your status as a seasoned Traveler!
Many changes have been made to adjust overly dominant builds that created repetitive gameplay experiences, revive previously underused Memories and Essences, and ultimately increase the variety of viable builds.For example:Some Memories now include bonus health scaling, making maximum health builds stronger.Certain concentration-type Memories, such as Static Discharge and Distorted Mind, can now use dodge abilities during casting.You can review all changes below.Hello, Travelers!Since the Winter Update, many of you have continued to explore Shape of Dreams and share your thoughts with us. Your feedback and gameplay experiences have been a great source of inspiration, and preparing the next update has been a very meaningful journey for our team.The upcoming March Update aims to highlight each Traveler’s individuality further, introduce new tension to late-game challenges, and expand how you can craft and refine your builds through several new systems and adjustments.Today, we would like to give you a preview of some of the upcoming features.
Once a Traveler reaches a certain level, you can purchase new costumes with Stardust.This allows you to customize your Traveler’s appearance and explore the dream world in your own unique style.More costumes will be added in the future, so stay tuned. 
Two new shrines will be added to help travelers complete their desired builds more strategically.Remnants of Luck: A shrine where you can spend gold to expand your reward selection.Remnants of Destiny: A shrine where you can sacrifice the quality of your current essence to obtain a different essence.These shrines will introduce deeper decision-making and strategy during the build-to-select process. 
This update will also include large-scale balance adjustments across the entire game.Some builds that were excessively powerful and simplified gameplay will be adjusted, while previously underused memories and essence will receive new attention.Our goal is to create an environment where a wider variety of builds can remain competitive.For example, some memories that require channeling will be improved to allow dodging while casting.Additionally, more build-select options will be introduced to improve survivability in late-game play, and the difficulty in certain worlds and situations will be adjusted. 
To support even more diverse builds, new Skills, Essence, and Constellations will be added.These new elements will help compensate for the traveler’s weaknesses and enable entirely new playstyles compared to previous ones.
