Hi all!
I'm getting closer to completing the playable demo for Dreaming Isles. It should be ready by the new year, but possibly sooner. Dreaming Isles will be in the February Next Fest, so I plan to get the demo out well ahead of that. I want to get plenty of testing, feedback, and debugging done prior to the fest!
I'm a solo developer, a dad of two, and a full-time worker, so it's hard to give exact dates. Thank you so much to everyone who has followed and wishlisted Dreaming Isles! It's been my dream to do this for decades, and I'm grateful for all of your support!
Sincerely,
YawningDad
A storm has cast you onto unfamiliar shores. The soil appears rich for farming and the winds are strong for sailing, but something isn't quite right... The clans of these islands seem wary and without hope. Years of oppression under a mysterious trade faction have robbed them of their culture and pitted them against one another. With your magic, your sword, and your soil-stained hands, can you unite the clans to throw off the yoke of the Traders? Will you find love? Will you discover your purpose in the Dreaming Isles?
Discover the five clans that inhabit the Dreaming Isles. Help them thrive and gain access to their magic and abilities.
Protect and farm your island home. Grow food for yourself and for those around you.
Sail the seas and engage in naval combat.
Forge relationships with the islanders, gain renown.
Find a partner with which to share your small island farm. Help them make tough life decisions.
Improve your skills in melee combat, magic, sailing, and farming.
Gather resources to build better tools, weapons, and ships to sail.
Customize the look of your character and your home.
Uphold the laws of the seas or become a pirate and throw caution to the wind.
Unite the clans and bring peace and prosperity to the Dreaming Isles.
