To close this out, here are some final messages from the mod team and think tank!
Leo: It has been an absolute blast helping come up and help along with events, prompts, creatures and more for this game. Watching others enjoy them and take some things and run- and it has been a delight working with the other people of the team over this time as well. All of the ideas bounced around, growing them into some wonderful things that had a piece of all of us, the fun of running away with jokes sometimes and turning them into solid ideas. Made this into a place that I loved and adored playing in as well.
Thank you, and all of you players as well! Wouldn't have been the same without y'all.
Mich: While I was only helping out for the little while, it’s been a pleasure to help out with writing the dreamboard and with some event brainstorming! This game has been a very special place to me for a long time, so getting a chance to help out for a little while was a big treat! These games have always been a place to call home for me and as much as I’m sad to see it finish up, I’m very happy it happened. I hope everyone enjoyed their time here! It’s been a blast and I hope that we all catch each other in the future!! See you later!!
Sheila: This game has held such a special place in my heart over the years, and I will cherish my time here, both as a player and as a helper mod. It's been so wonderful to see this game grow and change since the beginning, and I am grateful to everyone who helped shape and build the world. The game really would not have been the same without every single player who has come and gone through it. So thank you to you all, and hope to see you again soon!!
Mart: Well, it's been one hell of a ride, Song. This was the game that brought me out of RP retirement and, only six months later, out of mod retirement too. It became my home game and a small project on the side that I could look forward to when I needed a break from life. Working and playing with everyone has been an absolute blast and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
To everyone who was a part of Songerein, both past and present, thank you for being there for the journey. See you around and don't let your dreams be memes!
Like I said in the opening, this game wouldn't have gotten as far as it did without them, and I am very grateful for all the help and ideas they've helped bring to life in the game. And of course, we wouldn't have been able to come as far as we have without all the wonderful
players who have come through, so another heartfelt thank you to all of you.
This may be the last of the game, but it certainly isn't the last of me! May we one day cross paths again…

DREAM NOTES #37: SEPTEMBER 1, 2024
Hello everyone! This is officially Songerein's third anniversary and our last official Dream Notes post. We will have one last farewell mod post to officially declare everything is closed, but that won't be until the end of the month.
I want to once again thank everyone who has come through the game, especially all my current and former mod and think tank helpers. Without their help (and enabling) Songerein wouldn't have existed at all so they will always remain near and dear to me, just like all my other mod teams in my previous and current games. The game itself is one that came at a difficult time in my life, and it helped me get through those times while reliving a lot of nostalgia from my previous games, so Songerein will always remain in a special place in my heart as a love letter of sorts to that past.
I know this isn't how we all expected the game to end, but I am still happy to have seen it last these past three years and reach a proper ending. As you will soon see, while the game may close, the world itself will continue to exist and characters will be able to see each other, perhaps go on adventures, explore that dream realm further, or just, well, live out their dreams.
We do have one final event that will go up on Friday, September 6 and everyone is welcome to tag it. Just a fun little callback to the first event when the game opened: a large feast thrown by the fae with a lot of the old silliness.
Now to explain what exactly is happening to everyone!

We hope folks had fun with the world bleed event, and it is still continuing! But we also have an important announcement to make as we continue with this little plot arc.

DREAM NOTES #34: JUNE 1, 2024
We are entering summer and getting closer to our third year anniversary 👀 So how about we ramp things up with some canon bleeds—nightmare style.
The
Official Calendar has been updated. Here is our current schedule for the month:
06/01: Plot With Me Meme |
06/05: EMP/ATP |
06/14: Event/TDM |
06/24: Reserves Open |
06/28-30: Activity Check |
|
07/01: Apps open |
07/03: Final apps due, begin processing apps |
07/04~05: Player Intro, Cr Meme |
07/12: Event Part 2 |
07/29-31: Activity Check |
|
DREAM TREND: There are no particular trends due to the event, but it's safe to say they will be on the nightmare side. |
WEATHER: Chaos. The first week or so it's actually quite nice (perfect for fishing!), but then there will be a loud CRACK of thunder and green lightning that will flash through the sky before the nightmare bleed begins. At this point, the weather will be unpredictable and bizarre, from scorching heat, to blistering blizzards, to raining slime, and glitter rainbows. To make it even more chaotic, the weather can be isolated to only specific places so you could have one side of the street snowing and the other side a desert. This will be further affected by the areas affected by the nightmare bleed. |
OTHER NOTES: N/A |
Ryu is hosting a fishing tournament! Details can be found
here.

DID WE MAKE IT ARE WE OUT OF THE TIME LOOP OR WE BACK IN APRIL—kidding, we're free and time marches on.

06/28-30: Activity Check |
|
DREAM TREND: This month's dream trends may involve any of the following themes: purges, maids and butlers, new beginnings. |
WEATHER: Warm, sunny, with occasional showers. Gentle cool breezes make it the perfect weather to enjoy a stroll. |
OTHER NOTES: The flower pollen from last month will have died down so while it's still in the air it's less concentrated with fewer effects. There will be a very strange desire to clean everything as well as a want to try new things. More details before. |
Good news, all the chaotic flower mess has been stabilized, though some of that pollen is sticking around. Otherwise, not too much extra to note here as everything is detailed in their proper place. We would like to once again thank Sky for the Nahida player plot! Hope everyone had fun with it!

DREAM NOTES #32.5: ROYAL COURT WINNERS
Another fun turnout for this year's contest! But before that we have an important announcement we want to make clearly official (and will announce again on the official Activity Check post).
Activity is now only ONE THREAD OF FIVE COMMENTS! This is a permanent change, so starting this month, players only need to submit one thread of five comments, basically half of the original requirement.
Congratulations everyone!!!
(No this is not a late April Fool's joke.)

DREAM NOTES #32: APRIL 1, 2024
Phew, March kind of killed us all, huh? Good news is it's our annual Flower Festival event! But we also have a player plot featuring Nahida from Genshin Impact, incorporated with it, so that should spice things up a bit.
The
Official Calendar has been updated. Here is our current schedule for the month:
04/01: Plot With Me Meme |
04/05: EMP/ATP |
04/12: Event/TDM |
04/24: Reserves Open |
04/28-30: Activity Check |

05/01: Apps open |
05/03: Final apps due, begin processing apps |
05/04~05: Player Intro, Open Log, Cr Meme |
05/29-31: Activity Check |
|
DREAM TREND: This month's dream trends may involve any of the following themes: new beginnings, flower overload, deja vu. |
WEATHER: Winter is finally giving way to Spring, and with it come blue clear skies, warm weather with just a little bit of light jacket coolness in the late evenings and early mornings, and a dash of light rain every now and then. |
OTHER NOTES: Spring is in the air! And perhaps due to the upcoming Flower Festival, it is buzzing with excitement and energy. So much so, pink sparks of static electricity will fill the air and a small jolt will invigorate anyone and give them a little pep in their step.
However, there is also a lot of pollen and while those with allergies might suffer, there may be some other effects happening… See the event notes for further details. |
It's
TDM month so if you know anyone who may be interested in the game, be sure to swing them over!

Hello everyone!
We're aware that things have been v e r y slow this month, a lot of it due to about a third of the game being on hiatus and another third likely struggling for various reasons.
So we are
cutting AC in half for this month, which means you only need to submit
1 thread of 5 comments. So if you've been stressing out about AC, hopefully this alleviates some of that!
