This is a tiny patch with a handful of Quality of Life changes to DreamWild!
Changes:

Added FOV Slider to Options Menu
Added Toggle for Dynamic FOV to Options Menu
New room and door added to Castle. Where could this lead? Only time will tell.
Changed some incorrect sound levels in a few areas
I hope this will help make DreamWild a more fun game to play in the long run!
On the topic of Auto Jump and Auto Swing
Many people have asked for the option of Auto Jump and Auto Swing to be added to the game.
Unfortunately, in testing, I have felt that these deeply change the gameplay of DreamWild.
The bunnyhop system in DreamWild is very forgiving, with speed being added the closer a player is to a perfectly timed hop. However, with Autojump, the player receives a perfect jump every time, which leads to the player moving extremely fast on a dime, not allowing any enemies to catch up.
Autoswing on the other hand, takes away from my intended use of the sword, making it into a constant spout of attacks, rather than a precision weapon. Both of these severely hurt the challenge of the game in my experience.
However, if players feel that these would be worthwhile inclusions even so, I will take them into consideration once again. Thank you for your consideration!
Future DreamWild Content
New Content for DreamWild is still in development! I don't have any cool images to show off to you today, but I hope that you will look forward to new Dream Wilds to explore, new secondary and primary weapons to use, and new insane enemies to face off against!
Have a good one!

I was absolutely enchanted by last year's DreamWild , a fast-paced, horde mode roguelike with one of my favorite art styles of any game in recent memory: A surreal, vibrant render revival that combines throwback 3D graphics with sprite-ized models and pre-rendered backdrops like

Dreamwild is something special: a solo-developed, retro-styled shooter that has a singular aesthetic. Half the game looks like Ray Harryhausen stop motion gone vaporwave, while the other half is a brisk, Quake-style shooter in surreal neon dreamscapes, its vibe cinched by a fanta
