Why We're Making ONEiRA
Hello World!For the past 1.5 years, we’ve been working tirelessly on ONEiRA; a narrative-driven puzzle-platformer where your choices matter. It’s a very special project to us, so we wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves and share with you why!Who We AreFor starters, we’re Dream Matter Labs, a brand-new indie studio founded by a team of juniors!Our entire team has firsthand experienced how impossible it is to break into the game industry nowadays. What was once a welcoming place filled with experimentation and unconventionality, has now shut its doors and become a place deprived of these very same qualities.In 2024 alone, 14.600 people lost their jobs in the game industry as companies prioritized their short-term metrics and downsized their teams. As a result, the job market is now bursting at the seams with more and more people desperate for an opportunity.Especially for juniors, breaking into the game industry has become an impossible feat as entry-level jobs have seemingly become a figment of the past.

Here, while we show the industry exactly what we can do, we're hard at work to make our dreams become our reality—and what better way to do that than by making an entire game about dreams!The Birth of ONEiRAGranted, ONEiRA wasn't created out of very deliberate, introspective decisions, but rather by chance during the LSDJam 2023.

Following this, we now had the opportunity to really give this game the time and energy it deserved, and have it be our entry ticket into the game industry. Naturally... we took it!Because of all this, we're writing this today. In a way, ONE...Read full article on Community Announcements (Joël)
