@gamelawless So true! Thanks.

We are definitely going to refine it, though, we ran a couple of playtesting sessions and found a few improvements already!

As we prepare for our next prototype build, we took some time to see each other, and share our ideas for the next steps.

On the left, we have a few spoilers of our upcoming illustrations.
On the right, people laughing at Felipi's joke 😆

You're inside someone's dream. Uninvited.

The dreamer doesn't know you're there, but their subconscious does. It moves on its own turn, by its own rules, and it wants you gone.

That's your opponent in DreamWalkers.

Next prototype version preview 👀

Our proudest build yet: first bg music, first hand-drawn art, and a proper first-time tutorial.

9 builds in 5 months. And this one finally starts to feel like the game we imagined.

v8, two weeks ago: full UI redesign.

[The Ludo Machine @ludomachine]

Whose turn is it? In an asymmetric game where the Dream itself takes turns, that question matters.

Proto v8 added a Phase Indicator + animated Turn Banner. You always know who's acting and what's coming next.

Information is power. The people who hold it run the world.

You're not out to change that: you just need to make rent.

Someone needs what's locked inside another person's head, so you hack in and take it. For a price.

As technology grew, the line between physical and digital dissolved.

In DreamWalkers, dreams aren't private anymore: they live on the mental network dreamscape, same infrastructure as everything else.

That's what you hack into.

In DreamWalkers, you're a newly recruited Dream Hacker.

You hack into the dreams of high-profile targets and extract whatever your client paid for.

Their subconscious defenses can — and will — destroy your mind if you're caught.
