Daydream Software is a defunct Swedish video game developer founded in 1994. They released four games (with another in the works) before closing in 2003. == History == Daydream Software was founded in 1994 in Umeå, Sweden by a team of five and headed by lead designer Nigel Papworth on the principle that they would develop their own games without working with other major publishers to develop commissioned games. Their first game was ''Safecracker'', a point and click adventure game published by Dreamcatcher Interactive. The game had a tumultuous production, starting when GT Interactive bought initial publisher Warner Interactive Europe and cancelled the already finished and debugged game, calling it "not economically and commercially viable". Daydream was eventually able to buy back the rights to ''Safecracker'', and found a new publisher in Dreamcatcher Interactive, who released the game for PC and Mac OS X computers to mixed reviews. Their next title would be ''Traitors Gate'' (a game initially pitched to GT Interactive in 1996), an adventure game using an interface similar to ''Safecracker'' but with an espionage theme. The game was released in 2000 and (as with ''Safecracker'') was published by Dreamcatcher Interactive. The game received mostly positive reviews, and proved a financial success for the company, selling over 300,000 copies. Daydream's next game was a more ambitious title called ''Clusterball'', a futuristic sports game released in late 2000 for PC computers after a successful run as a downloadable title on Real.com. The game garnered mixed to positive reviews and but low sales for the company. Their next project was ''Ski-Doo: X-Team Racing'', a snowmobile racing game. The title was released by Simon & Schuster Interactive in 2001 for PC computers. The game received little media attention. In 2003, the company announced ''Campfire: Become Your Nightmare'', for the Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playstation 2 consoles. It was dubbed as a "reverse survival horror game" (similar to Rockstar's ''Manhunt'' and 505 Games' ''Naughty Bear'') that put the player in the role of a serial killer on a campground. The game was inspired by slasher films of the 1970s and 1980s. However, the game received little press other than a trailer and concept artwork, and thus it was cancelled in 2004 for unknown reasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daydream Software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
