Dreamhaven: Empowering Indie Developers with Expertise and Funding

In 2020, Mike Morhaime, co-founder of Blizzard, established Dreamhaven, a developer and publisher dedicated to nurturing independent game studios. With two internal studios and a partnership program, Dreamhaven aims to provide indies with the necessary resources to thrive. The company has now grown to 100 employees, with 30 at Secret Door and over 50 at Moonshot. Dreamhaven's first published title, Lynked: Banner of the Spark by FuzzyBot Games, is set to launch in Early Access on Steam. The game combines co-op action with town-building elements, offering a unique experience for players. FuzzyBot, formed by former Electronic Arts developers, sought to create a game that fills a gap in the market, providing an action-packed experience that appeals to a broader range of players. Dreamhaven's partnership program offers small investments and expert advice to participating studios, fostering a community of independent developers who can share knowledge and support one another. The company's primary goal is to create a healthy ecosystem for indies, whether through investments, publishing deals, or simply providing guidance. With a focus on innovation and fresh experiences, Dreamhaven is poised to make a significant impact on the gaming industry.
