After 9 months of hard work, Skyward Dream is finally finished and ready for you to experience! What began as a simple game-jam idea during the 7DFPS game jam on December 8th, 2023, has transformed into something much bigger than I originally envisioned. Back in January, I made the decision to expand this concept into a full-fledged game—and now, it’s here. [h2]What’s included in the final product?[/h2] [list] [*] [b]First-Person Platforming[/b] – The heart of the game is all about navigating a dreamy world through your platforming abilities.
