How It Started
I’ve been interested in game development since I was young, but it was during the COVID pandemic – when I had more free time – that I really dove in. I decided to learn how to make Game Boy games and ended up self-publishing an adventure RPG called Dragonborne.
Other Games / Projects
Dragonborne, Dracula: Dark Reign, and more titles currently in the works!
Fun Fact
When I made Dragonborne, I was completely new to GB Studio – and honestly, I didn’t use any design or planning docs. I just scripted straight from my head into the engine. Whatever I thought of next made it into the game! That spontaneous process helped shape the foundation for what eventually became Dragonyhm. These days, things are much more structured – we now use detailed design docs and thorough planning for all current and future releases.
The Idea
Why I Made This Game
Dragonyhm is the game I always wanted Dragonborne to be. With more experience, better tools, and the amazing talent of Bumbiss on board, we were able to fully realize the vision we originally had.
What Makes This Game Special
I’ve always been a huge fan of JRPGs. So creating something that resonates with other fans of the genre – something that feels like it can stand alongside the games I grew up loving – that’s incredibly special.
You'll Love This If...
You’re a fan of classic RPGs and JRPGs like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy – you’ll love the storytelling and turn-based battles. And if you enjoy Zelda-style dungeon exploration and puzzle-solving, you’ll feel right at home too.
Inspiration / Influences
Dragonyhm draws from classic JRPGs and action-adventures like The Legend of Zelda. Grandia inspired real-time encounters, save shrines, and parts of the battle system. The damage portrait is a nod to Doomguy from Doom, while dungeon design and puzzles borrow from our favorite Zelda titles.
Favorite Feature
A few standout moments for me: the encounter with Balmosyr, Kris acquiring Gonszilfr, the dramatic return to the palace to face Rykard, and of course – the ending sequence.

Dragonhym is a fantastic mix of elements from many great games. Overworld and dungeons are Zelda like, combat similar to early Dragon Quest, switching from top down to side scrolling platforms in water is Blaster Master reminiscent.
The game itself is well done with good puzzles and story. Dungeons range from combat heavy to puzzle heavy so you get a good mix.
Visuals look fantastic and sound is equally good. Overall a really polished game.

Really enjoyed this one! The visuals were fantastic, and I loved the inspiration this game took from classics likes of Pokemon and Zelda. Also loved the Quakzal charm that came with the game as well as the gold cartridge. This will certainly be a game I continue to go back to for years to come. A must own if you are a Chromatic owner!
