-This version is riddled with problems, I just wanted to upload something for once.

Thank you for choosing to play my short demo!

This is the eleventh version of my demo, so please bear with me because there are probably a few glitches and goofs that you'll encounter along the way. Not only that, but most of the textures will be revised with each release.

The general premise of Dream Child is that you're a little kid who slowly realizes the people in his town are disappearing and it's all connected to his lucid dream that he can freely go in and out of, provided there is a bed for him to sleep in.

It's up to you to rescue your family and the rest of the townsfolk in this action/adventure platformer!

A few noteworthy things/some helpful hints:

-Use the Map program in the player's computer to select which island/level you want to go when you fall asleep. The game defaults to the player's dreamloop if you don't select an island/level.

-The player's computer currently only works with mouse controls.

-Controller support only works for an Xbox style gamepad. Keyboard and mouse are preferred as I am slowly transitioning away from gamepads altogether.

-Coconuts you collect from palm trees regrow after a full day has passed.

-All vines you see on walls are climbable.

-If you don't have the swim goggles / snorkel equipped, you can't dive underwater.

-If you don't have your dream journal, you can't open your inventory.

Some bugs and issues that will be fixed:

-Picking up and moving items around is still a little glitchy. I'm trying to develop my own system instead of relying on Unity's fixed joints.

-When you exit the pirate ship rooms, just jump one time. There is a bug that will destroy the player upon exit from the room and the game will be hardlocked.

-If you swim into the pirate ship and don't stop, it will force the player under water. If you jump while under water, it will make the player fall to the bottom of the ocean where he can walk around. There is currently no way back up.

-Camera doesn't automatically rotate with player's forward vector. Right now you just freely orbit the camera around the player or if you hold the forward button and move the camera, the player will follow the camera.

-You would ideally only have to press one button for all interactions, but this is not the case yet.

-The map section of the inventory is broken :(.

-The bubble particle effect will still play if you're partially out of the water.

-I forgot to disable to pool water trigger in the player's back yard, please ignore it, lol.

-Rain will partially go through the roof of the player's house.

-Lots more, lol...

There are some in-game posters that have the control schemes for both controller and keyboard layouts, I need to update them. Much easier than having to go back and forth between the game and this page!

Again, thank you very much for taking the time to play my demo. All feedback is  appreciated!
