🚀 It’s Rally Time — DreamWorld needs YOU (and your crew).
We’re opening 10,000 FREE playtest spots starting now and running weekly stress-test events to push our MMO tech to its limits.
Why jump in now?
80+ hours of survival/crafting adventure (think Valheim/Enshrouded/Minecraft).
The most powerful building in gaming: scale/rotate anywhere, blueprint copy/paste, interactive pieces, and DreamForge AI (type a prompt → get a custom build piece live in game).
One seamless infinite world for everyone. Meet at coordinates. Build/craft/fight together.
Every player plays together in one shared universe, no picking servers!
Our goal: hit high concurrency before Steam October Next Fest. If we uncover anything critical in testing, we could regroup and hit February Next Fest even stronger instead. Either way—your playtime now directly shapes launch quality.
🎯 What to do (takes 60 seconds):
Wishlist on Steam (so you’re notified on opening) → https://tinyurl.com/27fz4tb2
Invite friends/family who’d love survival, building, or MMOs. (Thank you so much!)
Creator note: DreamWorld is the first game where a streamer can say “meet me at X,Y” and everyone can actually show up—same world, same moment. Ping us if you want a featured Creator Crash night.
Let’s make history together. See you in-game! 💫
— Zach & the DreamWorld Team
What’s new since many of you last played
✅ 80+ hr survival loop: gather → build → craft / farm → gear up → explore → fight Fears (bosses).
✅ Full world destructibility & terraforming (level or raise mountains, mine forever, reshape terrain to fit your vision).
✅ Insane UGC scale: players have built cities with tens of millions of pieces in one area—still smooth on older PCs.
✅ DreamForge AI: place a forge, type a prompt, get a custom building piece live.
✅ One world for all (no “join my server” headaches).
Why this matters right now
We’re proving the mass-multiplayer ceiling before Next Fest.
Large turnouts = better data = better stability for everyone.
The more Wishlists, the more Steam shows DreamWorld to others (this literally compounds our reach).
Help us smash these milestone goals
🎮 Concurrent Players: 500 → 1,000 → 5,000 → 10,000
💚 Wishlists: 10k → 25k → 50k → 100k We’ll share progress live during events and shout out top groups that bring the most players.
