Neowiz partnered with Lizard Smoothie to publish the MOBA roguelike Shape of Dreams.
The game comes from South Korean indie game developer Lizard Smoothie. Combining two popular video game genres, Dreamscapes combines a massively multiplayer online battle (MOBA) system with a co-op roguelike action game to create a new type of game where there is no real gameplay.
“Korea has a strong history with MOBA games, which is what drew us to Shape of Dreams,” said Neowiz CEO Seung-Chul Kim in a statement. “Lizard Smoothie has created a unique action title that brings familiar features to audiences and controls with its combat gameplay. We are confident in its ability to create a new way for the roguelike genre.”
Created by two college students, Shape of Dreams invites players to a dream world where they can alter their hero’s memories and shape a persona to fit their vision. The game can be played solo or with up to four friends in co-op mode. Lizard Smoothie released a demo and prequel for the title on Steam, with the prequel garnering over 200,000 downloads and excellent ratings.
“Since we shared the Dream Mode demo last year, our team has been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received from players,” said Eunseob Shim, CEO of Lizard Smoothie, in a statement. “With Neowiz, we felt that we have found a partner who also appreciates bringing more Korean games to the world. Our team has been developing this project since 2023, and we look forward to introducing great games that will please everyone.”
Founded in 1997, Neowiz is a South Korean gaming company and a global leader in console, PC, and mobile gaming. Their recent partnership with Lizard Smoothie continues their commitment to working with indie developers to publish diverse titles that appeal to audiences around the world.
Recent hits include P Lies, Brave Nine, DJMax Respect and Cats & Soup.
Lizard Smoothie was founded in January 2023 by two college students who love MOBAs and indie games.
