Development
Daydreamer was showcased at the Moscone Center’s GDC Play Area at the 2015 Game Developer Conference. It is set for release in summer 2015. It had an unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign.
Daydreamer has Sprite graphics, of rather high quality for its characters, contrasted by a lot of scrolling check patterns for its pause menu. It also features an interface designed for a gamepad, to the point where the game only displays Gamepad inputs for menues and tutorial messages even when played only a keyboard on Windows.
The game is planned to launch on PlayStation 4 on July 12. An Xbox One version of the game was originally planned but was cancelled.
