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.

    Pokemon met Dragon Warrior...

    ...And they had a baby!

    Seriously though, this is A Dragon warrior style rpg that uses the pokemon "rock paper scissors" style battle system with zelda puzzles thrown in for good measure. For me this is a system seller, don't miss it!

    A Fun Dungeon Crawl

    Of the handful of games I have for my new Chromatic so far, this is my favorite. It's a fun and challenging dungeon crawl. The catchy music gets stuck in my head all day long.

    Almost perfect and better than any older GB RPG.

    The graphics are terrific, the gameplay is fast enough to keep you interested even if you decide to grind a few levels. Minus 1 star for ME due to personal preferences. Please let me turn off the music (this is one of may major complaints for Nintendo RPG games anyway) and I would have preferred a little more flexibility in character development but it’s still worth every penny.
