Greetings everyone! We are proud to announce the release of Making of Traum DLC! In this downloadable package you will find a pdf file with in-depth information about what was going on behind the scenes during the development and also some never before seen concept art!
We have also included the soundtrack of Traum which consists of 15 high quality tracks!
Why have a free game, but a paid dlc? Let me explain you:
We didn't want to simply ask for donations or do patreon etc. For one thing, it doesn't feel right to us, just to ask for funding and wouldn't be able to give anything back right now. Quite simply, we don't have anything big to show about our next project yet. Second, laws in Finland kind of goes against asking for crowd funding or donations. You'd have to sell something to be able to make something out of it, so here we are.
Traum the game will stay free, but if you want to support our work, this is a great way to do so! All of your contributions goes toward funding our next projects! This not only motivates us to do more, but also it speeds up the development process as we could focus on it more. We all have jobs or projects and other life stuff to manage, so time is limited to spend on this.
I'd also like to say that we will no longer make games with RPG Maker. The limitations of that engine are too great for what we want to create. We have invested in Game Maker Studio 2, which gives us so much more flexibility and freedom to really create something that we think you would enjoy. In the future we will have games that look like us. No longer we will be seen as just another RPG Maker developer. Our two artists will be able to truly express themselves and develop an artstyle that suits our image! Our composer can create music that lights the world alive! Our writer will no longer be chained to write stories having to keep the engine limitations in mind!
We have grand plans for the future, and we will keep making story heavy games for all of you to immerse yourselves in!
