Dreamloop Games Ltd., known as Dreamloop, is a Finland 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.[2] Dreamloop currently employs 8 people, and is led by its co-founders.[3] In late 2015 Dreamloop began actively campaigning to reform Finnish laws surrounding Crowdfunding.[4][5] In 2015 Dreamloop launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance production of their upcoming game Challengers of Khalea, but funding was unsuccessful.[6]
Games
In November 2015, Dreamloop released the arcade shooter Stardust Galaxy Warriors for PC.[7] The game features 1-4 player local co-op multiplayer, and has been received well by both critics and the Steam community.[8] In April 2016, in an interview on PopGeeks.net, Dreamloop Games announced that it would bring Stardust Galaxy Warriors to consoles.[9] Stardust Galaxy Warriors currently maintains a 93% positive rating on Steam.[7]
Dreamloop is currently in production of the tactical role playing game Challengers of Khalea.[10] 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.[9] 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.[11] Challengers of Khalea is expected to be released in November 2016.[11]
