Developing an independent video game can be tedious and time consuming, so help FriendStudio out and give us support! Let's be friends!

Fantasy Dreamer is a project that started in my brain about two years ago, but the concept took a while to develop before it became what it is today. The land of Reloria is in all of us; in our dreams of childhood memories and fond experiences.

The game itself is a love letter to 8-bit and 16-bit games of the past, and is being developed with one goal in mind: To make a game that is fun to play for everyone of every age that has played a video game. 

"There is a land in the middle of an ocean of dreams ruled by men and aves. The Emus and the Penguins have been at war for eternity, while the humans have sat idly by in waiting. They wait for any soul brave enough to attempt to create peace between the bird tribes, and create a unified land of their beautiful island of Reloria."

-Emerge into a lush pixel-y world of wonder!

-Interact with strange inhabitants!

-Learn new abilities to help the dreamer progress!

-Use intuitive controls to solve puzzles!

-Make use of 15 magical spells and various weapons!

-Gain the courage to solve the riddle of the fiendish Catastrophe Kate!

The player will encounter a wide variety of enemies ranging from weak Leggies, sleepy Bownzers, Emu Spearguards and many more.

Goals

-1000$ the minimum! I can release the game and pay small fees to those helping me, as well as do some small scale ads.

Additional Goals

-If 1100$ is raised more money will go into advertising.

-if 1200$ is raised I will expand the OST, as I will be able to compensate the composer for more tracks!

Anything pledged beyond the minimum will definitely be poured right back into the game, and depending on how much is raised, I will add a little something to everyone's reward. 

FAQ

  • It draws it's inspirations from obvious choices like CaveStory, Metroid and Mario Bros. Fantasy Dreamer also makes use of some light rpg elements such currency and leveling.

  • This started out as an oversight. Kickstarter won't let me edit the rewards now, but rest assured, the game will be openly available for all at release, as it will be free for a limited time.
