[In-Dev] Witanlore: Dreamtime

[DarkRider]

Druid Gameworks Announces...

 

 

 

Druid Gameworks is now actively developing a short prelude title in the Wintanlore series for Windows PC titled Witanlore: Dreamtime.
 
Dreamtime is expected to release on Steam semi episodically with the first episode retailing for around $3.99-4.99 USD. The official publish date is yet to be decided but our goal is to have it on the digital shelves this year! 
 
Thanks to the generous donations of our supporters in the Druid Origin Guild, we have been able to suspend mobile development and focus our efforts on making a great game for PC gamers to enjoy!

In Dreamtime, the player assumes the role of a young Ursine from one of four main tribes, who's destiny has not yet been determined. At the game's start, they have reached the age of maturity known as the Chut’que (chewt kay) a time to undergo an honored ritual, the dreaming.  Guided by the clan seer, the dreaming is an astral journey where Ursines travel into the spirit world to stand before their patron god and receive divine messages about their destiny.
 
However, things will not be so easy for our intrepid player.  For the first time in the long oral history of the tribes, the dreaming does not go as planned. The player finds more than a god waiting for them in the mists and is left with disconcerting images of a shrouded figure whose intent seems far from benevolent.   
 
The story’s focus hinges upon the fate of an ancient relic, more specifically several artifacts which make up a whole and the player’s quest to retrieve them in an attempt to avert the looming threat foreshadowed in their vision. Through this journey the player will unravel the true purpose of the lost relic and of the Ursine tribes entrusted to its safekeeping, but will it be enough to divert the danger away from their family and homeland?

• Rich Cultural Histories
• Unique Explorable Landscapes
• Multiple Ursine Tribes to Choose From
• Choices & Consequences
• Crafting & Trading
• Dungeon Diving & Rewards
• Unique Weaponry with Tribal Bonuses
• Questing
• Mobile Mini Games
• Role-playing Immersion Focus
• And much, much, more!

Good news indeed.

[DarkRider]

We have a new Dev log Video!

[donnato]

Oh heck yeah ..  Beautiful vid... I loved the in-game stuff... great job on the lighting. Maybe the next one could show some interactive stuff like... opening a chest .. or.. some dialog?  This just gets better and better ..  forget that goofy DansGaming  kneejerk review. Guy can`t even navigate his own desk without banging his knee.

[DarkRider]

We cant really do dialogue without characters we'll have more cool stuff to show in the next one though

 

If folks missed it, Gopher has endorsed Witanlore: Dreamtime!
