DreamEcho sold over 10,000 copies on its first day on Steam—a result far beyond anything I imagined, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude.Over the past two and a half years since I quit my job to pursue indie game development, I have been through many ups and downs. This is my first officially released title.Due to my own limited energy, the development conditions, and the crowded release window in the second half of the year—with so many major titles launching one after another—I had no choice but to release a version that still has its shortcomings earlier than planned. I am fully aware that the current version is far from perfect: the visual presentation, game balance, and tutorial all have significant room for improvement, and the overall testing and polish are simply not enough. For all of…
