The Mission

Create a “Calvin Ball” game, to serve as the foundation of future work and with luck, long term expansion and support.

The Paradell : Its "Pokemon" meets "Stardew Valley" meets "Zelda"

Formula: Recognizable mechanics + novel ruleset = Both a familiar and refreshing open-playground game

The Paradell is an open-world creature-catching and farming Sim set in a magical realm. Players take on the role of Mage’s Apprentice who must tame monsters, get a job, and find their own way in this deceptively cheerful world.

      What do we need?

      Money is nice, we might get it one day but the core team is making this game because we love making and playing it. So it will be made one way or another.

      But what we need now is advisement from industry experience and someone to call us out when we need it. We need someone in our corner to check in with from time to time.

      The Message for the Kids

    • Too Long Didn’t Read: Don’t give up on the world, Don’t give up on yourself.

      The world we are born into is flawed, in many ways broken.

      But that is no reason to give up on it.

      We must do what we can to make it better.

      We must help others to do what they can to make it better.

      Similarly, We are born into this world flawed and broken in many ways.

      But we must not give up on ourselves.

      We must try and make ourselves better.

      And do what we can to help others make themselves better.
