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.

    Classic Throwback

    Dragonhymn captures that classic Game Boy magic with a mix of exploration, puzzles, and turn-based battles that feel both familiar and fun. The world is full of charm, and the characters pull you into a simple but satisfying story. It can get a little tough or slow in spots, but overall it’s a nostalgic and rewarding ride for anyone who loves old-school RPGs.

    In 2025 I found one of my favorite Gameboy Color games.

    This game is an instant classic. If this game were released within the gameboy lineup it would have been a world phenomenon! Combining semi Zelda and Pokemon Aesthetic and like-playability was a guaranteed success. While it borrows a bit from each game (world interaction, turn based RPG mechanics) its definetly its own thing. I appreciate this alot more than it being a shameless rip off of either game. The soundtrack is stellar. I cant get enough of this one! My only question is: Sequel when?
