Dream Labyrinth (Version1.0.5)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Hi there!!

Just a quick update to let you know how things are going.
As far as things are going, the planned first release of a Version 0.1.0 for the end of the month is going pretty well.
Currently I'm testing the different paths, power levels skills, and also finishing some stuff art wise to make the game a little more
amusing, though I know my art is not as polished as I want, since I kind of still lack some skills in that area.
Anyways, as for the release, these are the features that are going to be released for sure:

  • Five Start Characters (Ina, Kiara, Calli, Ame and Gura, named in order of difficulty to start a new game)
  • Maze-like stages, currently 12 different stages + 1 "hidden stage" (is not really that hidden though)
  • Fifteen bosses + a secret boss, which is the same that was hidden inside the DEMO version
  • Seventeen Playable Characters in total, so there are more available characters that those featured in the poster above!! 
    Each character have a different play style based on their skill set, which is fixed regardless of the level (with the exception of the EN girls), but can be grouped as per usual in RPGs like Damage Dealer, Magic Damage Dealer, Healer, Tank,  Suppor Buff/Debuff or a mix of these
  • Unison Skills, special skills available when certain characters are in the current party (the party counts up to five members, 4 active and one as a backup)
  • Class Upgrade, a feature that unlocks the "true" class of the playable characters after meeting certain conditions. For example, Calli's starting class is "Rapper Reaper", which would become "Grimm Reaper")  The new class will have higher parameters, and sometimes even extra skills or passive abilities
  • Soul Weapons, which are special weapons hidden in each area which (somehow) embody the power of each Holo Member. This weapons can be upgraded once, which leads to the Class Upgrade of the corresponding member
  • Special Equipment that are based on the members lore (like the Soul Weapons, though these cannot be upgraded)
  • Unique Story and Original Characters: the story takes elements from the lore of each member, special the EN girls, but as fan made game, there are things that may be now be contrary to cannon or will be with time (still waiting for Ina's big reveal about herself =  A=)). I like to draw a story as close to the cannon but, yeah, it could be denied later so please take this in mind when reading through my story
  • Bestiary, which includes extra info about enemies, equipment and items. It's my intention to put also entries about each Holo member, but due to some technical difficulties I may release this in a second moment

Like specified in the previous update, the incoming Version is not quite compatible with the DEMO version, so it's better to treat the next update and those afterwards as a different game.


Well, that's all for now. Next update will be the actual first release of the game , so please look forward for it!
