The very first “dungeon” that the Gray Mage, Lucius, enters in Last Dream II is called the “Moros Ruins”. We had nearly finished this dungeon but realized we couldn’t really get the right feeling – it was supposed to be dank and dark but that simply wasn’t coming across.
We started with adding moss to age the stone tiles, but then for realism and immersion decided we needed some small puddles of water (with dripping animations) to explain the ubiquitous moss.
Maybe ...

Working on video game development among talented friends is a dream realized, although our final fantasy remains in progress: multiple team members would love to quit their day jobs and focus exclusively on the Last Dream series full time.
Without our primary employment as programmers, scientists, engineers, and business managers, we could delve deeply into crafting thematic cultures, music, and graphic art within each section of LD2; we could challenge ourselves with mobile and arcade versions, compete in timed trials against ...

We thought we’d take this opportunity to introduce the Last Dream II character classes to you. One thing you’ll notice immediately is that we’ve transitioned to unique graphic art. We’ve hired a talented graphic artist ( https://twitter.com/UncleBladey) to create new character sprites (as well as enemy battlers that we’ll show you later).

Hello everyone!
We’ve just finished up our annual retreat with the entire White Giant RPG Studios team including myself (Andrew), Josh, Mark, Seth, and Chris. We’ve worked hard over the last week to make substantial progress on Last Dream II. Over the last year, we’ve been developing unique graphic art and we’ve only recently developed the tools necessary to integrate our art into maps for Last Dream II.
The image above is the exterior of the first dungeon that the Gray Mage ...

Dear Friends,
As a passion project among our small team of avid RPG enthusiasts, Last Dream exceeded our expectations the first time someone we didn’t know played our nascent RPG and became engaged in the mystery, just like us.
It’s a funny thing to find your own creation mysterious, but Last Dream is mysterious for us: how will our quest experience change with different characters? How swiftly can we reach the Ship? Will players we don’t know be better ...
Our development team has elected to invest our funds and time into crafting unique graphic art for Last Dream 2.
Beyond creating amber blades of grass, rustic cabin chimneys, and other essential design elements of our nascent world, we particularly enjoy dreaming up enemy creatures who live within LD2.
The design process starts with a draft description.
For example: “The Green Goblin is a weak enemy encountered early in LD2 who is primarily a physical attacker. Goblins are smaller than humans, but nearly ...

A spirit of optimism is as fundamental to game development as coding skill and dynamic world creation.
Our multi-state team continues to pour itself into the next, expansive Last Dream installation. At times, the lengthy development phase can feel lightly sprinkled with rewards, and thus we crane our collective necks to catch a vision of the distant horizon: the far off day when we launch a polished version of Last Dream 2.
For now, you can play Last Dream and Continue Reading → Share
