Leon ~ Far-off Daydream Games :)

Bonjour, Hello, Hallo, Hola!

My name is Leon (@LeonDaydreamer on Twitter), it is nice to meet you! I am the Creative Director at Far-off Daydream Games. I am from Canada, but the non-francophone part.  :)

Simon invited me to join the forum after we both fought on the battlefield of Kickstarter (actually, I am still fighting there now...)

I love point and click adventure games, and I always wanted to make one of my own. The project I am currently working on is a cross between point and click adventure and visual novel, called A Near Dawn. It is a dark and humorous adventure with psychological, supernatural, and science fiction elements that unfold as the story progresses. I do the writing and most of the artwork for it, and it has been a lot of fun working on it so far! If you would like to check it out, I released the Prologue in English that you can find for Windows/Mac/Linux/Android on Itch.io / Steam / GooglePlay (Android).



I do currently have a Kickstarter Campaign running for A Near Dawn, in hopes of getting support to continue the story. But with just over 50% and a little over a week left, it will need much more support to reach its goal.  :/

Hello Leon and welcome to the family!!

Your game looks really nice, I wish you the best of luck for the Kickstarter campaign!

Welcome here Leon!
I hope that other people here will like your project and support you (but I think they already saw it from me, and might have decided already)

Anyway I wish that we can stay in touch in the future to share ideas and advice (or simply motivation), and thus you're welcome on our forums. .

There are many creators of adventure games around here. Not necessarily third person and 2d however, so this is more than great to have you. I think that the devs of Up-World for example might be happy to talk.

By the way what software do you use for A Near Dawn?

Oh sorry, could you make a separate thread to talk of the game more specifically, here:
http://forum.theicehouse.fr/f36-personal-creations
Thanks
That would be the good place to answer to my question about the game engine!

Thus we'll keep this thread to talk of you as a creator more specifically. It's the forums to introduce yourself here

Hi.

I noticed that Simon included you in his list of "thanks" on the Kickstarter update. On a personal level, many thanks for helping Simon and Denis with your support. I hope everything works out for you.

Please keep in touch with us and keep us updated as to how things are going for you.

Thank you guys! And it was my pleasure.  
Sure, I can relocate my project info to the other section, and I will answer about the software in there...

Yes we tried to help each other with cross-promotion. Like we did for K'NOSSOS.
I don't know if it helped, but even if it motivates only 1 or 2 backers to check the other campaigns, then it was worth it.
