Everybody dreams, but not everybody remembers their dreams upon waking. Lucid dreamers, though, take it to the next level and are consciously aware of their dreamscapes, going so far as to shape the world around them while in this semi-conscious state. One Dreamer is an…
It’s always sad to see a crowdfunded project not make funding. It’s even more disheartening to have to get the news that a project cannot continue on. For one reason or another, usually related to time or money, the development for said game just has…
