One of the design choices we discussed most during the development of Fantasy Network was pacing. We didn't want the adventure to consist only of exploration and combat. That's why we introduced Talent Competitions, special minigames that offer a playful change of pace. These moments give players a chance to catch their breath after the action while remaining part of the world and its story. We…
Hello guys, today we continue introducing the main characters of Fantasy Network with Major Dikta, the primary antagonist of the story. Dikta rules Midvania, a city he has completely isolated from the rest of Holua beneath a massive dome. Both the city and his castle are inaccessible, and no one outside knows what happens within—or what kind of lives its citizens are forced to endure under his…

Hello guys, today we continue introducing the main characters of Fantasy Network and take a look at President Hopper. Hopper is both a political and economic figure for Holua. He appeared to the public a few years after the mysterious event, when he was not yet twenty years old, introducing himself as the son of the former president of Holua and declaring that his father had died during the eve…
Hello guys, today we’d like to introduce Holua, the world where Fantasy Network takes place. Holua sits somewhere between classic fantasy and our modern society. The name itself plays with “Aloha” (holiday vibes) and “Hyrule” (adventure vibes), and the world reflects that mix. On the fantasy side you will find: · tropical seascapes and islands · mysterious forests and volcanic valleys · snow-ca…
So you watched some promo about this game and you're interested on some point, or you just have a curiosity before the release. Here's a couple of questions and answers. - Are you sure this is a Metroidvania? It's a bit strange in the way it presents itself. We didn't want to conform to the thousand similar titles already on the market; rather, we wanted to offer a different vision of the same…
Hello everyone! Well, where were we? It's been a while since we've shared any news about the development of this game, but we can finally make some announcements. The fact is that in 2020, when development began, we had specific ideas and mechanics planned, but over time, also following the various feedback we received on social media, we entered a so-called "development hell" that would have m…
