But as the word “universe” implies: there is still room for more! But for now, let's dive into the past and look at how the Vambrace universe came to be. I laid the foundation for it 26 years ago. But one thing at a time. When I got into game development, I realized that I had the dream to bring stories and settings to life, one by one. My amazing friend and brilliant writer T.L. Riven went through them, and the story of Lyric in [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/904380/Vambrace_Cold_Soul/]Vambrace: Cold Soul[/url] was the beginning of what the team would eventually create.

Therefore, all of the fantasy stories that Dvora Studio has created, and will continue to create, are more or less based on this game world, which we call the Vambrace Saga. From the creation of a world to its destruction, in its myriad chronicles lie countless villains and heroes whose names we still do not know, and in that order and chaos lie the adventures and challenges, the noble sacrifices and meaningful moments that Dvora Studio seeks to create.

This fantasy theme has a very special value for Dvora Studio, and for me as the founder. This fantasy world actually started back in 1998, when I was in the sixth grade of my elementary school, and started drawing pictures and making up stories with creative characters and creative episodes. At the time, gaming culture was starting to develop in South Korea, and I was immersed in the graphics and themes of games like StarCraft, Genesis: Tempest, Tomb Raider 3, KKND2, Dune2000, Age of Empires, and many others. I used to draw various copycats and invented characters in my sketch books all day, and I used to make up crazy and weird stories to share with my classmates for fun. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44946660/cde7044594df8b0f2d52efcfbb4baef3901b4f19.png[/img] As I entered adolescence, the gap between the ideal and the reality became more and more obvious, and I used to relieve my academic stress and worries about the future with these creative and fun fantasy stories. I was fascinated by wonderful stories such as the Harry Potter series, the Lord of the Rings films, the Chronicles of Narnia, and other adventure tales, and I started to think: "I need to study to make a good story". The more I drew, the more I realized that I didn't just love drawing, I loved creating the lives and stories of the characters in my drawings, so I studied more structured texts and settings to refine the stories and worlds I'd been creating since I was a kid, and as an adult, they've been piling up in my personal archive. And you already guessed it: Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch is one of those stories. Talk to you again really soon! Minho & Dvora Studio https://store.steampowered.com/app/2753600/Vambrace_Dungeon_Monarch/
