Hey guys! I'm doing a bit of market research here. I wanted to ask the lucid dreaming community (but specifically you guys):
Would you want to play a multiplayer game set inside a dream-world where you could eventually control everything and create anything?

That's the question I need answers to. But first, let me explain.

Project Lucid is a massively multiplayer online sandbox-style PC game, by MaDE Studios, which attempts to mimic the feeling of being in a lucid dream. The biggest challenge in development will be honing the user interface to a point where it is extremely easy to create what you see in your head.
The game will be playable with or without a Virtual Reality headset and other cool technologies will get involved too eventually.

The thing about this project is, I can't actually tell you too much about the game because it will take a life of it's own. I have the general idea of what the game is and what it means, but it will be highly community involved. When alpha testing begins, I will get you guys in on the action, then it will be open to the gaming community too for beta testing. But you guys are the most important part! It really needs to represent lucid dreaming like no other game has.

You may also be interested to know that it is heavily inspired by Minecraft and Garry's Mod. The idea that the player can choose their own style of playing is great. Project Lucid takes it to a whole other level though by having this very interesting challenge system I was thinking about, but more on that another time. Big parts of what a player might play will be created by other players or even by the game itself (procedural generation of all sorts of things). In theory, the player could actually chose whether to let the dream control itself and take whatever challenge comes, or to take full control and be the one making the challenges, or anything in between. But note the player must get their lucidity level up. But more on that one another time too.


Development has not really started yet. I am at the market research stage so that I can include some figures in my business start-up loan application. Also so that I can get a general idea of what you guys think. But please do let me know any thoughts you have or first impressions, it's much appreciated. Remember to vote in the poll!
