We’re Myu (they/them) & Seb (he/him). As “smol dreamers” our goal is to make small bite sized games, short experiences in various genres or formats, and document our journey openly while we’re making them. No GenAI.

IT SPEAKS!!!

Our cross-stitched rpg now has technically functioning dialogs. Don't pay attention to how they look, we're working on it, but hey PROGRESS ✨

Come hang with us as we discuss said progress on our weekly stream on twitch.tv/smoldreamers

This seems a good moment to repeat here what we said on stream a little while ago but: Hey les francophones, on sera au Stunfest le samedi 24 octobre pour présenter What If We Kissed ! Venez faire des bisous. Pas à nous, à vous. Enfin heu... Venez tester l'expérience écoutez... 💋

It's time for another research stream! I forgot to ask on our discord what game I should play, so I made a list and I'll roll a dice to see what fate has in store for us this afternoon!

Come do some research with me! www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers

Let's play some more Pokémon SoulSilver! Maybe this time we won't get our asses kicked by a guy that lives on top of a tower and I'll be able to learn more about how the pokéballs work to maybe inspire some things from our cross stitched rpg game!

Come hang out over on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers !

Willem is happy: he can move now.
He can even do a little victory dance.

This will be even funnier with sounds (imagine what those weapons sound like???)

Anyway, join us live to discuss all the progress we've made on our cross-stitched fantasy rpg, mostly regarding combat!

Thanks everyone for stopping by! This was helpful research! In our game you'll be able to capture certain attacks from enemies using a specific resource (not unlike a pokéball) and I wanted to see how it felt in a pokémon game. More on thursday!

I've never played a pokémon game, and Myu (my co-dev) wants to add some systems that are vaguely similar.

So it's time to finally play one of those games!

Let's do some research! Live now on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers with Pokémon Soulsilver

you know what else goes into a video game? MUSIC.

our game takes place inside a medieval tapestry, so let's transcribe a bunch of old dutch folk songs to get inspired by for the music I'll be making later!

Live now on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers
Come chat and listen!

Us, a few months back: let's make a cross-stitch rpg game! It will be fun!!!
Us now, trying to build the turn-based combat system: Ugh. Well. We have to live with those choices now...

Come see how we're faring on this game project during our weekly stream right now on Twitch.tv/smoldreamers !

Let's explore some more Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky! It's been a cool lil game so far.

So let's see what else we can learn from it for our own jrpg-inspired game!

live now over on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers !

the cover art for a psp game called the legend of heroes trails in the sky. it shows a long haired character turning their back to us, 2 pigtails swaying in the wind. and another character with dark hair a little further away looking off in the distance. there's no scenery except a mostly blue sky with a few clouds and a tiny airship

Today we have a look at The Legend of Heroes : Trails in the Sky on the PSP.

I've heard good things about it, let's see what we can learn for our own jrpg-inspired game!

Time for another research stream! Live now over on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers

@smoldreamers.bsky.social Sep 16, 2026, 5:01 PM

I'm live on twitch.tv/smoldreamers to try out another JRPG for research!

We're working on an indie jrpg-inspired game of our own, so I want to see what else is out there and learn some stuff.
I have never played a Persona game. Let's figure out what makes it tick !
