- Behold the Fan Art Update! - 9 July 2025
One of the most gratifying experiences one can have as a creative is to see your creations inspire the imaginations of others. Since Golden Treasure: The Great Green was released six years ago, we have seen dozens of incredible works of art from around the world honoring our humble little game. The time has come to share some of them with the world. This update introduces 15 brand-new works of gallery art from the Golden Treasure fan community. The relevant works will unlock once the related character or event has been encountered by the player. Old-timers who have finished the game should find them unlocked and ready for immediate viewing. We've also included director's commentary on each one.But that is not all! Due to various issues, the old art for a very important scene in Act 3 featuring a large gathering of Kin had to be changed, and LuciaDracon, a deeply talented artist from the…

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…
- Golden Treasure Now Available in Chinese - 18 August 2024
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…

- Dreaming Door Returns! Golden Treasure 2, Story Creator, and More - 12 August 2023
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 storie…
- The Time of Creation Has Arrived! - 15 April 2021
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,…
- Happy Holidays, and our BIGGEST SALE EVER! - 23 December 2019
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…
- The Infinite Green - 20 December 2019
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 conv…
- November Rain (and update) - 4 November 2019
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 ar…

- The Time of Creation Approaches! - 20 August 2019
In Golden Treasure: The Great Green, there exists no shortage of things to Destroy. Goodbeasts, No-Tails, dominions, possibilities… Destruction is an unavoidable fact of existence for any Draak-Kin. But every Kin also knows that Destruction is but one aspect of Life. What of its mirror-mate, Creation? What of making new experiences, perspectives, works of art, and even new Draak-Kin? Only those who dare to Create shall touch the Time-shadowed realm beyond their own existence. It is therefore with pride and excitement that Dreaming Door Studios announces its upcoming expansion for Golden Treasure: The Great Green. Entitled Time of Creation, it will add exciting new features and encounters to the open-world narrative exploration and adventure game. Time of Creation will add several new events to Part 3 in which the player can experience their first mating season as a mature Draak. Never-b…
- News From The Great Green - 23 July 2019
Greetings, o Kin! One month ago, Golden Treasure: The Great Green was released on Steam. It represented the first fruits of years of labor for our small but dedicated team, and the response we have received from players has been overwhelming. As its creator, I was unsure whether Golden Treasure’s blend of adventure, philosophy, art and dragons would be enjoyed and understood by others. It seems I need not have worried. We currently hold a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, with positive review averages in the high nineties. 86 players have written reviews about the experience, calling it “a masterpiece”, a “hidden gem” and much more. A few smaller-to-mid-sized sites have acknowledged us with review scores ranging from great to fantastic. Our deepest thanks go out to those who let their feelings about Golden Treasure be known. Perhaps the most gratifying responses of them all have been pri…

Big updates are coming to version 0.5.0 Version 0.5.0 is a huge update before the game officially releases. Here is a rundown of the changes. The Gallery Added access from the main menu to the Gallery. The Gallery checks on which scenes you have ever visited in the game in all lives and lets you see them again with out having to reach them during a new life. You can revisit these scenes as they were in the game, featuring the gentle parallax and animations normally present, or view the scene as a still piece of art. Scenes in the gallery include artist credits, credits for scene conception and writing, as well as Director's commentary from Ludwig.

- Q&A: Just What Will You Do In Golden Treasure? - 12 June 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F34952300%2F63d09c9f3da761bc3c70c9068a79edd3feee06c5.jpg Dreaming Door’s first project, Golden Treasure: The Great Green, has now been officially announced and the full release is coming to Steam in June! This, of course, raises quite a few questions. In the coming weeks, we will attempt to answer some of these. We'll start with a few commonly-received inquiries: Do I actually play as a dragon in this game, or is it just about dragons? Yes, you are completely and wholly draconic in this game. You will literally have the experience of hatching from your egg, and will be one of the blessed Kin (which is what they call themselves - other beings call them the Draak) until the moment you die (or stop playing). To which genre will Golden Treasure belong? This is a frequent question, and it's honestly a little hard to answer. The…
- Beta Change Log Collection - 7 June 2019
For the last two weeks, we have been hard at work on Golden Treasure: The Great Green, getting feedback from our many testers and implementing fixes. We've been in communication with these testers, delivering our change logs directly to them whenever we made updates. However, now that the game is available to reviewers and select others, we have decided to share these change logs publicly in the actual steam community group for Golden Treasure. This is because once the game is released, we want to keep the community involved in the changes we make. Check out the change logs below on the changes we made during the beta testing period. Change log - Version 0.4.7.190606 Hotfix Fixed first time you see grade ups Post act 1 starting grade ups are now skipped properly Beta hint buttons and beta folder buttons are now hidden in the settings menu Hot keys for logging and reporting remain the sa…
