"Diane, I've just entered the town of Struma. Twelve miles south of the Canadian border, eight miles west of the state line. I've never seen so many trees in my life! As W. C. Fields would say, I'd rather be here than Philadelphia."

The Dream Machine

Posted by struma - January 9th, 2009

Sorry about not posting anything for a while, but I've been busy making a brand new game called The Dream Machine. It used to be called Gateway III, but as it developed, it felt less and less like a Gateway game and more like something all its own.

In order to differentiate it from most other games out there, we decided to steer as far away from the reduced vector look as possible, and are actually building all the environments, props and characters out of clay and Super Sculpey. Yeah, it's nuts!

Let us know what you think.

Cheers,

- a

PS: I'll still make Gateway III someday. But if you liked any of the Gateway games, The Dream Machine will be like them times a hundred.

Kajenx 2009-01-10 07:08:18

WOW, that's really awesome! I love the look you got.

What did you make the tree's from? They look really shiney =]

osvaldZ 2009-01-11 12:43:20

Must modify the foliage of the trees. should not look shiny. Maybe post some more pics? What about... maybe the bedroom? To soon to show?

I'm not sure if you know about Samorost, but that's what this is reminding me of. It's a great flash game if you haven't already checked it out.
Keep up the great work, and as for the shiny leaves, they look cartoony, but that's not a bad thing at all.
This post couldn't be better news for those following the Gateway series!

struma 2009-01-16 01:22:44

Sure thing! I love both 1 and 2. Can't say I see much resemblance, though.

BViking 2009-01-16 15:57:52

The screen looks pretty solid
I'll look forward this game, as well as the next Gateway :)

struma 2009-01-16 15:57:52

Thanks! We appreciate it!

bentleyhacker 2009-01-17 16:42:46

Whoa... nice detail. It looks awesome!

Hi, i just want to say i think your games are amazing especially the Gateway Series! I know your working hard but do you know when The Dream Machine will be coming out? I just can't wait.

struma 2009-01-20 20:07:51

I don't know. If I where to guess, I'd say April. But don't hold me to that. We're making daily progress though.

firecold 2009-01-21 19:22:15

i dont get how every game u make gets first page and more views than there is people ur one of the best game designers i have ever seen ur games rock

struma 2009-01-21 19:22:15

Far from every game I've made has reached the front page (for which I'm thankful - most of them where terrible).

But thanks!

jag som såg i fram emot gateway 3! jaja. men bilden är ursnygg!;)

Smidly 2009-02-14 14:02:01

Awww I miss Gateway, but this new one looks really cool

struma 2009-02-14 14:02:01 (Updated 2009-02-15 03:42:22)

If you liked the Gateway games, I'm sure you'll like this one too. It's way more ambitious storytelling-wise.

But you don't have to take my word for it much longer. We're on schedule to release a demo next week. Watch this space!
