Stratics talks to the Dreamlord himself.

Stratics recently sat down with David Rosen, CEO of Lockpick Entertainment to look at Dreamlords, the Reawakening.

Mark: With a name like Dreamlords, it implies dreaming is involved. The shots look sort of surrealistic. Is this the general look of the game?

The supreme lord of Dreamlords speaks!

David Rosén, CEO of Lockpick Entertainment, talks about the development culture behind the March-released MMORTS Dreamlords, and shares a little bit about Lockpick's future plans for this highly innovative title.

The Dumbest Quest in the World

MMORPG.com has posted another developer journal from Jon Selin. Keep reading to learn about the dumbest quest in the world.

The Dumbest Quest in the World exists. And more disturbingly, for a brief moment it existed in our game. The other day I was watching one of our designers exerting all his piss and vinegar as he was working on a new quest for Dreamlords. Then he shook is head, turned to me with a sad look on his face, and asked: “What do you think when we create utter crap for your game?”

Dreamlords Interview

Strategy Informer has updated their site with an interview with Jon Selin, the Lead Designer of Dreamlords.

Strategy Informer: What can you tell us about players’ main characters, Dreamlords, and their role in the game?

Jon Selin: A Dreamlord is the spirit of a piece of floating land called a Patria. While the Dreamlord is the player’s avatar, there is also a race living on the patria which the Dreamlord can control to do his biddings. While you often field your armies you can also go on spirit quests with the Dreamlord, playing in third person mode.

A Chat With Jon Selin

MMORPG.com posted an interview with Jon Selin on Friday. They sat down to talk about this upcoming MMO.

MMORPG.com: In the big scheme of things, building resources via web management, RTS where you command units… where does your personal avatar fit in? How important is he/she?

Jon Selin: The Dreamlord, which is the player’s avatar, is at the core of the game’s storyline. From time to time you take direct control of the Dreamlord to resolve different quests and further the storyline, and also unraveling the history that predates the journey that the players’ experiences. The Dreamlord is always present when it comes to managing your land as well. For example, its basic power is its gnosis, which also determines how much people you can have working on your land.

Dreamlords' Lead Designer talks about progress, testing, launch and more

MMORPG.com had a chance to sit down with the Lead Designer for Dreamlords recently. Dreamlords recently entered closed beta testing. Keep reading to see what they were able to learn.

MMORPG.com: Do you expect to meet the deadline for getting the game into production by the end of 2006?

Jon Selin: It's looking good; I can't see any obstacle at the moment that would cause us to move our deadlines around. However, I'm having so much fun with this project that if it was up to me I would be polishing Dreamlords until 2010. Luckily we have a producer that keeps me on a short leash. Then again I would be very afraid of a lead game designer who comes to a state where he doesn't want anything changed.

Dreamlords Talks with Strategy Informer

Strategy Informer recently had a chance to sit down and talk with Marcus Andrews, a game designer for Dreamlords.

Strategy Informer: Firstly, could you introduce yourself to our readers?

Marcus Andrews: My name is Marcus Andrews and I am one of the Game Designers working on Dreamlords.

Strategy Informer: Where did the idea of creating Dreamlords come about?

Marcus Andrews: I personally wasn’t really involved in the initial idea process. Dreamlords came about when we had an internal week long workshop at Lockpick on what game to produce. We choose Dreamlords before many other interesting concepts mainly because of the originality and the possibility to publish it through digital distribution.
