Devlog: Introduction to the Setting and Art

Welcome again, Dreamers! We’ve all seen some captivating footage from the world of Being & Becoming for long enough, but now it’s time to lift the veil and take a glimpse into what this world actually is.

In Being and Becoming, you are dropped into the Dream. The king of a seaside kingdom falls into a deep slumber that twists the kingdom’s majestic architecture into a nightmarish world and its once-dignified citizens into a mockery of what they once were. The Dream can manifest any thought and desire into reality, but as the hearts of men grow dark, only a twisted nightmare is born from their minds. They need only ask the mysterious Dreamcatcher for their desires to become realized…



You, however, are different.
As a Lucid Dreamer, you can stay in control and dispel the Dream. It is up to you to visit various locations throughout the Kingdom and save or slay that which lurks there.



As you venture into each part of the kingdom, you will have to defeat an especially powerful being influenced by the Dream. Be wary though, as each battle may have unforeseen and permanent ramifications…



Some of the regular enemies you will encounter along your journey

Larger threats you will have to face

Even in this world, not every being will be hostile towards you. What will you learn from them?

Expect to roam through complex and changing structures

In the Aqueduct, water might just be the least of your worries…

This brief glimpse into the world of the Collective Dream is just the beginning. Look forward to a deeper dive very soon. Together, we might even uncover some mysteries we did not expect. Hope you are ready to take the plunge.

Devlog 1: The Nightmares to Come

Welcome, Dreamers, to the first in-depth look at the grotesque, bizarre and wonderful world of Being and Becoming!

First of all, we're incredibly proud to share a new trailer that just aired on the Future Games Show! Go check it out here:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Today, we’ll reveal one of the standout features of the game - the nightmarish twists the world goes through as players progress in the game.

In Being and Becoming, a Collective Dream from within a seaside kingdom has spilled into reality. You will have to rescue lost souls twisted by this dream, facing all manner of bizarre and corrupt nightmares.

[h3]There are multiple ways this manifests through the story, one of them being this area.[/h3]



Not just the surroundings are affected - enemies are also changed by it, which is reflected in some of their designs.





Be ready for some unexpected twists...



...And some enemies might even change the surroundings themselves!



[h3]This might look pretty, but keep your eyes peeled: this fight is quite challenging!
[/h3]

Keep in mind - this is just one of the possible transformations of the environment, which will alter how you interact with the world. For instance, this area can also become flooded - among other changes, which we won’t reveal until later.



[h3]Yes, this is all the same place! Here are the regular, flooded, and nightmarish variants.
[/h3]

All of this is just a small taste of what’s to come: as you progress, you’ll discover new ways the dream affects the world of Being and Becoming.

Stay tuned for more - we've got a lot more stuff coming!
