About the Developer

Bio

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.

    A modern RPG like the classic GB RPG's

    While it has an initial steep learning curve it's worth persevering. You'll be rewarded with an engaging and fun story comparable to the classic Gameboy RPG's like Zelda & Final Fantasy. Graphics and sound are top notch. Dungeons contain some excellent puzzles that always have logical solutions. I found it useful to sometimes put the game down and think for the answer to come to me. More like this please. Make sure to update your cart before playing. I'd like to give it 5 stars but it's not quite there. Definitely a solid 4 stars though.

    Game is lean in that it knows what it wants to do and is executed well with little excess. There are enough extras and collectibles to keep it interesting but the main draw here will be the plot which is likewise well-executed with good dialogue and flavor text items throughout the game. There is a leveling system which CAN be a bit grindy but it works because the points needed to level are static throughout the game. Absolutely loved this, would love a sequel or another game from this developer. Theres a good reason this game sells out so quickly!
