Dreamloop Games Ltd., known as Dreamloop, is a Finnish video game developer based in Tampere, Finland.[1] The company was founded in August 2014 by current Chief Executive Officer Joni Lappalainen, current Chief Technical Officer Hannes Väisänen, and current Chief Marketing Officer/Creative Director Steve Stewart.[2] All three founders previously worked together at Fragment Production, where Stewart served as Marketing Director.[3] Dreamloop currently employs 8 people, and is led by its co-founders.[4] In late 2015 Dreamloop began actively campaigning to reform Finnish laws surrounding Crowdfunding.[5][6] In 2015 Dreamloop launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance production of their upcoming game Challengers of Khalea, but funding was unsuccessful.[7]
Games
In November 2015, Dreamloop released the arcade shooter Stardust Galaxy Warriors for PC.[8] The game features 1-4 player local co-op multiplayer, and has been received well by both critics and the Steam community. [9] In April 2016, in an interview on PopGeeks.net, Dreamloop Games announced that it would bring Stardust Galaxy Warriors to consoles.[10] Stardust Galaxy Warriors currently maintains a 93% positive rating on Steam. [11]
Dreamloop is currently in production of the tactical role playing game Challengers of Khalea.[12] Initially imagined as a combination of multiplayer online battle arena and turn-based tactics genres, a change of direction in early 2016 led the title to transform into a tactical turn-based role playing game, heavily inspired by the Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics titles.[13] The visuals were heavily inspired by both comic book art and Art Nouveau, in order to create an entirely unique 2D representation for storytelling, akin to various Japanese role-playing game titles.[14] Challengers of Khalea is expected to be released in November 2016.[14]
