What’s New?

Tren

  • It’s here! BeechCorp’s latest and greatest work - Tren! From its humble beginnings to the 95-track strong, high-score chasing, nostalgic trip down memory lane we see today, Tren offers fun for all the family! You’ll be flipping, dipping, zooming and (let’s face it) crashing around tracks in no time when you jump into Tren in DreamSurfing.

Tren Set

  • The fun does not stop there, not in the slightest! Why only drive BeechCorp’s Tren tracks when you can make your own? With the Tren Set, you can bring your own tracks to life and send them out for others to explore. Over 550 unique items - from tracks to vehicles to environmental elements - await willing Trengineers!

Tren Template

  • In DreamShaping you’ll find a selection of BeechCorp-endorsed Play & Edits, giving you a head start on your Tren creations.

Tren Icons

  • We’re told a new Dreams game is only as good as its icons and let us tell you, we’ve provided PLENTY of new icons with Tren. BeechCorp’s official Tren icon selection contains over 170 new icons for use across the Dreamiverse, and you can find them nestled away right here.

Snap Points

  • A crucial part of Tren’s construction comes to dreamers with this update: Snap Points, a revolutionary new Guide! Snap Points allow you to snap things together in pre-defined ways, almost like a custom Surface Snap. Add Snap Points to your creations and they’ll snap nicely to other objects with Snap Points. You can even add Categories to them, so that items with a given category will only snap to others in the same category.

Bug Fixes

BeechCorp will now make way for Media Molecule, who’ll cover some of the all-important bug fixes that are making their way to Dreams alongside Tren’s release. Take it away, Mm!

  • Fixed a bug that prevented players interacting with elements on a pinned animation canvas while something was behind it.
  • Fixed a bug where an animation would reset when wired to an animation gadget and having reached the end of its trim handle.
  • Fixed a bug where a playhead icon would appear on an open animation gadget tweak menu when the user is holding a wire.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented players from stamping Art from Art’s Dream into their homespace.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause creations to take longer than expected to load in search.
  • Fixed several issues related to Limits and taking Photos for users playing Dreams in Arabic.
  • Fixed a bug where notifications would not display correctly for 45 seconds after booting up the game.
  • Other various fixes and improvements.

Bootscreen

  • A new bootscreen? Oh, go on then - just for Tren. This gorgeous scene of Tren winding its merry way through a treasure-filled attic was created by our very own Theo Hayne. Good work, Theo. BeechCorp salutes you.
